小迪克西经典影评；
在传统犯罪题材的类型片中，叙事结构一般为开端—发展—危机—高潮—结尾的常规线性叙事，但在影片《灰猴》中，导演大胆地突破了以往犯罪片的叙事结构，采用了多角度分段叙事，每一个视角都是完整故事的一个碎片，每一个人物都只掌握真相的一部分，经过层层剥茧，最后把拼图拼接好，展示了在天降之财下滑稽的众生百态
【UCCA云观影】在拯救中相互救赎
医生作为不可靠的叙事人有很多面部大特写，焦距很短，眼睛精亮耳朵部位却是模糊的，每分钟都像戴着面具，包括刮胡子开车这些动作也颇有深意
2023美国动作片《小迪克西》剧情；
　　Erstwhile Special Forces operative Doc Alexander is asked to broker a truce with the Mexican drug cartel in secrecy. When Oklahoma Governor Richard Jeffs celebrates the execution of a high-ranking cartel member on TV, his Chief of Staff and Doc inform him about the peace he just ended. But it’s too late, as Cuco, the cartel’s hatchet man, has set his vengeful sights on Doc’s daughter Dixie　　They don’t make ’em like Little Dixie anymore: honed to the bone, all gestures and actions, only a few words. Too many genre films these days try to create meaning by piling ideas and intentions on their narrative frames. John Swab, as always, works the other way around. Meaning and depth come from taking away whatever is superfluous – by reducing the plot to its bare essence and the characters to their core trades and tricks.　　Ultimately, Little Dixie feels like the pulp fiction version of a Giacometti sculpture, all fearful symmetries and mirror images. A gem of crime cinema at its purest and most philosophical, proudly featuring noir’s new darling, Frank Grillo.
