双面媚娘

　　法国巴黎某处共享办公室内，一名神秘杀手（迈克尔·法斯宾德 Michael Fassbender 饰）正静待猎物的到来。他外表冷酷，沉默寡言，内心则絮絮不止，一遍又一遍重复着作为杀手的准则，仿佛这样才能使他有所凭依，内心安定。然而即便如此，他准备了数日的刺杀却以失败告终。失手之后，杀手按照既定的路线迅速撤离，并在上线的安排下躲到多米尼加的家中暂避风头。谁知才刚踏上自家院落，他就嗅出了危险气息。原来在此之前，早已有两名杀手踏足此地，并将杀手的妻子（索菲·夏洛特 Sophie Charlotte 饰）殴至重伤。杀手恼羞不已，他根据仅有的线索，一路追查幕后的指使和参与者。　　一旦失手，万劫不复，此时此刻他有切身体会……

　　The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
