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.
20220722，怨痴gay男美队全球追爱高司令。
大制作爆米花，剧情毫无新意，怕是经费光花在动作场面和大牌明星上了。
有几个无人机镜头也太卖拷贝了，恍惚之间还以为是卖拷贝掌镜。
本身就妥妥一部三星动作谍战不带脑子爆米花电影，剧情基本复制《谍影重重》，没什么太多新意和亮点，罗素兄弟的招牌徒手格斗戏依然质量在线，中间几个片段特效和角色智商都不太在线。但！是！Ryan Gosling和Chris Evans的演技啊！先不说颜值，就说演技，直接让这部变成今年最过瘾动作电影了，看着两个大帅比飙演技真的很爽。
整体上平淡无奇，中规中矩，没有特别出彩的操作，作为大成本的商业片，看看各种腺上激素飙升的动作大场面也就可以了。
动作场面生猛凌厉，爽片，006比007更能打，不过阿汤哥和伯恩类的特工稍微现实一点，006一个人可以干翻30人
真的是無腦片，無腦到劇本完全沒打算要好看，就人帥場面大就好，如果沒有雷恩葛斯林真的是大爛片，但無奈的是他真的很帥，只看他就值回票價。
娱乐性远不如红色通缉令
就这水准还敢标榜《碟中谍》？罗素兄弟的脑袋怕不是秀逗了吧。人物行为动机不明，动作戏一盘散沙，剧情推进全皆是似曾相识的情节套拍，这种电影出现在2022年还想征服观众完全就是「痴人说梦」（远不如同日出的《犯罪都市2》更有诚意）。高投资（两亿刀）电影为什么总是令人失望透顶，高斯林+美队的组合几乎让人完全失去欲望甚至看着难受，除了文本之外，Netflix是不是该思考些什么呢？目前看来，就这拉胯的玩意，还是别拍2了。
美式爽片吧……看的过程中还玩了一把数独，一边打着瞌睡。
啊啊啊啊啊好格式化的片子！网飞：要风景给你风景 要美女给你美女 要动作戏给你动作戏 要大场面给你大场面，各项都饱和以后就是平庸至极
这么精彩紧凑的追击场面要什么剧情！这就是影院爽片吖！
哈哈哈一点都不无聊啊 无脑到好笑啊哈哈哈哈 不过我现在真的是 看到安娜就开心也是没救了
明明是随便拍拍都不会太难看的特工题材，偏偏这部拍得很无聊很中庸。白瞎了炸裂的卡司，最近好莱坞爆米花大片堆砌明星有点厉害啊，可惜这部高司令+美队+邦女郎也救不回。高司令的角色还算ok，美队的角色真的坏得莫名其妙而且完全没有任何铺垫描述来丰富人设（小胡子造型差点不敢认），安娜没有007里那么惊艳但还是美的可惜只是个工具人。看在带我云环游世界的份上，勉强三星半吧。PS唯一比较喜欢的是It's just another Thursday.
三星半：要他执法、还要他杀人如麻，让他牺牲、还让他交付灵魂。选择让谁死去，却无法保证如何过好人生；甘愿身陷囚笼，就能够解开贪婪逐欲的绳结。视人命如蝼蚁，便只能坠入虚妄的虫洞；为女孩而搏命，延续了冷面杀手优良的传统。生命进入倒数，依旧可以手握致命的引线，无法优雅老去，就去引爆对抗世界的决心。这世界太多灰色地带，重要的是记得自己为何而来。
足够过瘾，动作场面拍得不错，Ryan Gosling绝对的酷！
不是我喜欢的style。。高斯林为什么不帅了呢
两星送给颜值。也给观众看到去掉超英滤镜的罗素兄弟，包括之前的钢铁侠、蜘蛛侠这些演员，去掉滤镜之后都。。。。BC是少数的两条腿都走的演员了，不管奇异博士怎么差，人家还有艺术电影这条路。
当男主和众人在飞机上开打后，我就想“一会儿是不是要子弹打穿机舱空气失压把敌人吸出去是吧”，然后就……等主角也跳出机舱后我就开始想“马上就要自由落体去抢敌人的降落伞了是吧”然后就……行吧
非常老土的故事，这大概是罗素兄弟应聘下一届007导演的样片吧。哈哈casting是要Gray Man 2049吗？
