The story appears simple on the surface, but is revealed, especially after multiple viewings, as more multi-layered and textured than Cassavetes at his best. Ostensibly it concerns a 14-year old Catholic girl, Wynne (Agutter) growing up in this post-modern wasteland, who develops a crush on her much older adoptive brother (Marshall)- a crush which perversely deepens and grows into infatuation once she starts to believe he is the local sex killer. This is in itself an idea that makes you sit up and jolt, but as the narrative develops, it continues not necessarily along a linear path but in several confusing and fascinating directions: the family's history, (detailed effectively in chilling flashback during an improvised seance) is a chequered one, and has suffered at least one major relocation and upheaval in the last ten years. At the crux, however, it's the depiction of socialal changes that make I Start Counting so fascinating and elevate its language far beyond the confines of the standard horror film. The major subtext- that teenage girls were maturing more quickly than before, and developing full sexual and romantic appetites (even if in thought rather than deed) but were not possessed of enough discretion to make the right choices- was a step forward for a genre in which its young females had previously been portrayed as bimbo victims (Cover Girl Killer and The Night Caller spring to mind), but not one that all viewers would necessarily agree with. But most striking of all, and possibly the most enduring image which the viewer will take away with them, is of the masterful symbolism with which director Greene invests every shot. Every inch of the Kinch family's world- their house, their walls, their TV, Agutters underwear, bedroom furniture and toys, Sutcliffe's clothes, Marshalls van, the local Catholic church, their town centre, their record shop) - is painted a bright, scintillating white- a white which, by inference, is slowly becoming smudged and corrupted with the dirt of the outside world. White also symbolises, of course, purity and innocence (two qualities Catholic schoolgirls are supposed to hold dear), and it is into this world of innocence that the ever-present red bus (a symbol of violation and penetration), conducted by the lecherous yet similarly juvenile Simon Ward, makes regular journeys. The allegory is further expanded in one scene where Agutter believes she sees the Christ figure in church weeping blood: by the time we acknowledge it, its gone, but the seed has already been planted. Rarely in a genre production has the use of colour and background been so important or effective in creating a uniformity of mood. I Start Counting is as near-perfect an end to a decade as one could hope for, and exactly the kind of film people should be making now- which is, of course, exactly why they never will. A genre essential. by D.R.
警察局封闭空间几个高手的对决，枪战戏非常精彩，交叉骨换发型一下没认出来
这部片和十几年前的电影《血溅13号警署》剧情类似，好莱坞编剧们也陷落了，竟然开始抄作业！
马修对发便当有着愈发病态的迷恋：上一秒还是1917式的硝烟洗礼，下一秒就成了毫无重量的角色牺牲，这种调性上的急转直下不是詹姆斯古恩在自杀小队里那种无所谓的态度，更不是特工学院有理有据地自我调侃，而是实在编不下去了，就任由毫不相干的元素干扰观感—-尤其是第一幕戏说历史环节像是走马灯一样地记流水账以后，突然毫无逻辑地迈进卖腐与恶趣味并存的妖僧遭遇战，虽然各种调度和机位上的巧思还在，却完全没有他以往的血脉贲张，只有眉头紧锁和wtf，一次又一次拨弄着观众观影的阈值和底线，马修绝对玩爽了。即使第三幕有拉尔夫和杰曼瀚苏博了老命地打、搞笑以致敬007来挽回颓势，却为时已晚，如此毫无章法大面积地毁灭角色就像是把地基炸毁后再重建，这绝对不是来自他对自己掌控力的自信，顶多算是对才华和信誉度嚣张任意的挥霍罢了。
比第二部好，但是也没有好到哪里去。前一个小时的节奏非常非常拖沓，后边稍微好一点，但是兴奋点依然非常有限，只有邪气的拉斯普丁算是小惊喜。恶搞历史的部分足以让某些人血压升高，不过对我来说，这种程度的恶搞也没有啥太大的意思。
明白主创想说什么，不过这话痨加女权是真的没意思。
中间有一段恰好10分钟枪战算是近期最佳动作。

坏人表现的非常“好”，好人也表现的非常“坏”。配角的暗讽、背景乐、番茄酱、几个机位还是有挺多有趣的地方…
前作的卖点全都没延续下来，这个所谓的起源故事根本就没有存在的必要。
女主演的挺好～结尾那几个镜头把我看懵圈了……女主驾驶救护车是要跟男主对决吗？人家刚救了你的命～这逼装的也太……
小警署的格局，几位大咖份量很重，每个角色出场戏份不足，不知道主角是谁，黑人女警感觉撑不起整部片，杰拉德、弗兰克、托比三个反派太装腔了，比比了那么久，节奏太慢了，哪个杀手杀人前很是比比的。
三个狠人的戏，整体情节都挺流畅，动作到位，个别情节和人物比较突兀。
合格的边缘，但还差一口气。动作指导并不知道哥萨克刀法是什么样的。
小场景电影，投资应该不高。演员戏份均摊，看着像群戏。不过对话挺有意思，表演最令人深刻的是疯子杀手~喵~~~~~完全当成喜剧片再看了。至于标签里的惊悚，完全感觉不出来。
警匪无脑片，故事背景设简单，但是来头不小，骗子掮客、FBI、坏警察、好警察！超级职业杀手，女警察很酷，角色塑造分明，看的出编剧导演水平在线的，流水线片，看一个打打杀杀，低成本，有这样效果，还不错。
警匪在警察局的故事，充分证明了一点，没有一个匪类会是好人。
ralph主角我不行。故事莫名其妙配乐太大声。goode的颜还是那么棒。brutal for no reason特别烂生气，化用历史part也很低能。回想kingsman第一部，就知道mv不行。拖到现在不知道还能拍几部。还有aaron。审美也差，beachrat的小哥也不好看了。最后开会把每个人名号按上那里有点回归第一部想念我merlin有一星。goodie一星。
感觉很到位，幽默贯穿始终。优秀的片子！别觉得调侃几部陷落就显得自己水平提升
枪战场景还可以，但是内容平平，有很多不合理的地方
带“辱”的扫射范围和程度堪称牛逼，虽然分数因此过于偏低，但站在电影本身的角度，也的确有很大问题，尤其是风格不兼容——哪哪儿都想沾点，又哪哪都没玩好。
