谨慎恭敬的杰克·马尔比（罗伯特·德尼罗 Robert De Niro 饰）在某政府部门供职，每天的工作便是对那些申请假释的犯人进行审核。他年复一年干着这份枯燥无味的工作，与妻子麦迪琳（Frances Conroy 饰）的关系也分外冷淡。他的心中隐藏着蓬勃的欲望，却又不得不用端正的表象去掩饰。 在杰克即将退休的时刻，已经蹲了八年大牢的纵火犯乔治·“石头”·克里森（爱德华·诺顿 Edward Norton 饰）来到他的桌前。乔治希望早日走出大墙，为此巧言令色试图博取杰克的信任，甚至不惜让美艳的妻子卢赛塔（米拉·乔沃维奇 Milla Jovovich 饰）色诱这个看似一本正经的君子。杰克心中的欲望渐渐失控，而企图通过宗教包装自己的乔治也仿佛听到来自上帝的福音……
Parole officer Jack Mabry (Robert De Niro) has only a few weeks left before retirement and wishes to finish out the cases he's been assigned. One such case is that of Gerald "Stone" Creeson (Edward Norton), a convicted arsonist who is up for parole. Jack is initially reluctant to indulge Stone in the coarse banter he wishes to pursue and feels little sympathy for the prisoner's pleads for an early release. Seeing little hope in convincing Jack himself, Stone arranges for his wife Lucetta (Milla Jovovich) to seduce the officer, but motives and intentions steadily blur amidst the passions and buried secrets of the corrupted players in this deadly game of deception.
去试着理解这部电影可能会值得你的努力。蜜蜂。这样的危情，与信仰何关？。得为自己做些什么。一个狗血的名字毁了这部电影。宗教，是压抑了人性还是升华了人性（灵魂）。其实还不错。等了他8年，为了他勾|引假释官，最后却被抛弃，这点让人郁闷气愤，让我联想到了色\戒。无关宗教，其实是人性。本罪? 原罪!。
