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.
电影画面过于美，美得不像二十世纪初，不知道的还以为是2022年。还有好莱坞为了政治正确加了好几个黑人角色，又要诅咒波洛冷血无情没人爱，当场气死我了！电院看完回来怒看78年版和阳光下的罪恶。
有些地方欠火候，但好喜欢看到谢苗的打戏啊～
基本就是把导火线重新拍了一遍，文戏部分槽点多到不想吐槽，打戏算是比较出色了，虽然主要还是照着导火线拍的，好在完成度不错，动作力度性够强，为了增加真实感还让演员在每一个动作都大声嘶吼，就按这个套路可以拍好几部
很ok，低配东北黑社会版《导火线》，能打的老二老三，分别有一场封闭空间打斗戏，医院戏好于大巴戏。三十岁以后的谢苗，状态对了，配上合适的角色和硬派的动作设计，好评。
华丽&暗流涌动 第一次看这个故事着实被紧张到了！
也请这位老师不要再拍了。。。对胡子的起源没有兴趣。
其实东北警察没那么能打。但鉴于香港警察也没那么能打不也拍的武功高强吗，所以也算合理。。。就是这个黑社会搞定了所有生意人却没搞定警察内部的人，算是没那么聪明啊。。。男主老婆真不错，这么支持警察工作的女人少有了，尤其那句“工作丢了也不怕，我养你啊”，多感人😄
没看过原版，还好。没大问题，除了节奏太缓慢了，前四十多分钟都没死人我是没想到的，不是铺垫的问题，是废的空镜头太多了，不是实拍你甩这么美的合成景廉价灯有啥用。这次很好的规避掉了以往观众和剧中人物消息不对等的问题，该有的颜料、手帕、手枪都给出了关键性台词和镜头的线索，同时也给出了很多混淆性线索，很合格，本格推理部分比上一部东方快车强。同时在主线进行的情况下，支线的波洛卸掉伪装走向幸福的成长线很不错。提问一个小问题：22口径的小枪能打穿两个人嘛…PS:阿加莎这不比剧本杀缜密多了，稍微改一改本土化提升日程
虽然对原著和78改编版无感，但这故事在对波洛大侦探行为驱动力上有一点刻画是比较清晰且有些趣味的，就是好奇心使然之于他的存在意义。这部无趣就无趣在波洛这个时而爱偷听时而爱窥探的怪咖，不再让脑中灰色细胞服务于他那不可遏制的好奇心，让未知解谜过程变成了毕其功于一役的己要任务。开篇的波洛一战“个人前史”交代要完成的无非就是对未来借他人情殇解自己心结的基本剧作功能而已，没有什么比这更套路更封闭更自嗨的文本改编方向了。记得17年看完新《东方快车谋杀案》的时候跟人聊过，肯尼.布拉纳是爱给自己疯狂加戏、愿使自己倾力演绎，也真正能让自己饱含情感沉浸其中的好演员，但视听语言能力和负有盛名的戏剧改编功力似乎较其演技相比差之不少。不知道这个观点延用于这部是否也依旧适用。
五颗星是为了鼓励本土的动作片。继续努力！！！
剧情和动作戏也就上世纪好莱坞或者香港的基本盘水平，咱们这君乐 宝同志还能吹成三星半？好好说你究竟收了爱歧义多少w才吹这网络大电影，还自诩自己每日一片专业看片的，害不害臊
2.盖尔加朵也老了
满满正能量，打斗很真实，动作很精彩，扫黑除恶势在必行、大快人心、务尽！加一星鼓励。
比预想的好很多，但比期待的差了一点。1，编剧没有深入生活，福利院的孩子除了本身有名字的，全部都姓“党”，因为是党在养育他们，所以不会出现李红旗这样的名字，有点想当然了；2，虽然考虑细节在最后有了拿弓弩和猎枪的小喽啰，但是他们从“看到杀人惊恐”到“与JC对峙”的转变实在太快，逻辑崩了。编剧再走点心，这片子能更高分。
这头重脚轻的结构真的不敢恭维，情感与人物关系是侦探类比较浪漫和深沉的了，但这流水制作能体现出来吗。这导演感觉个人风格真的很明显，就是那种纯纯的好莱坞👍；不确定是不是大陆上映包含最直白的同性关系的片子了，还好不多。
真的很浪费时间！这就体现了一个好的导演的重要性
IMAX看埃及景色赛高，放风筝和埃及艳后两处很有视觉效果，尼罗河上橙色暖调落日余晖胶片感十足。开头一战还以为是打开了《1917》。好久不见艾米汉莫，油了不少。
惺惺作态的表演，虚情假意的台词，矫揉造作的镜头。
但凡冠上“东北”二字，故事就有那儿味了。曾经的东北，黑社会猖獗，大家应该听过“乔四”。剧中的算是黑恶势力，地痞流氓，敲诈勒索。谢苗饰演的人民警察，正是施展拳脚的时候了。扫黑除恶，除恶务尽。
开头还以为看错了电影，看完前几分钟才明白是为了讲述胡子的起源。风景挺美，政治正确和夹带私货的地方不少，黑人女权LGBT都有涉及到，却不考虑这些在当时的时代背景下会不会如此和谐地出现，波洛🍍有动作戏分还有爱情戏份，竟然还是黑白配，最后案情揭秘却拍得毫无根据短暂苍白，我真的不想看老头子谈恋爱秀身手，我只想看波洛探长破案子
