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.
劫匪兄弟不分场合的亲情和打斗看不懂。
开场15分钟就被Bayhem转晕。Toooooo stupid, even for Micheal Bay. 都啥年代了，还有舔棒棒糖的villain，梦回九零。美国林家栋演的居然是真警察？他那伙人怎么看都是黑吃黑嘛！Micheal Bay's worst film, 100%.
最近好莱坞好像失去了创作能力一样，都在玩安全牌，除了不停地拍超英电影就是翻拍，上一次看了郭达的《人之怒》就是法国翻拍，这一部是丹麦翻拍，可惜没找到资源，只能先看翻拍，什么时候有资源了再去补看一下原版。前1个小时真的是稀碎，以为是一个很精明的劫匪，结果手下一群只能靠吉伦哈尔吼叫才能干货的废柴，黑人兄弟还算是个退伍老兵，遇到状态像个新人菜鸟只会鹌鹑叫。1个小时40分钟，终于等到第一场爆炸戏，然后就没然后了……爆炸贝，你就给我看这个？！结尾就更离谱了，一死一伤，还连带着把出手的另一伙人给弄碎了，这是怎么样离谱的剧本啊！搞了半天，只有一个主角就是这女的。
最后段落甚至有点来自梦与理想年代的一丝涟漪，还不错嘛。
今年春节档之后看过的最纯粹最不瞎搞的商业院线
镜头挺有特点，剧情也是一目了然，既然能引进，那结局就注定了。属于能看一遍但肯定不想再看那种类型。最近电影院里实在没有能看的，这部就算可以了。
要是不拿无人机搁那炫还好，银行战斗还挺好的，后面一塌糊涂，有些地方还剪辑快速又混乱，直接开晕
“我们都迷失了自我……”
在政治正确领导下的爆炸贝名不虚传，穿梭机拍摄动作场面好刺激
开局还行，后面太扯淡了吧！内讧掐架，完事同唱一首歌，路上又和解？大哥，严肃点，抢劫跑路呢…
3.5。从粗糙的片头开始就带有上世纪好莱坞动作片的古早味，加上吉伦哈尔20年不变的脸，除了超夸张的无人机摄影几乎看不出任何2020s电影的氛围，还挺怀旧的。剧情就是too dumb to be serious，在完全的怀疑暂停中笑了两个小时。
本片可以说是近期或者说疫情以来真正的好莱坞大片，虽然故事没多少亮点，但不会沉闷，抢劫枪战家庭情，爆炸追逐兄弟义，该有的都有。
普通商业动作片。迈克尔·贝这次爆炸场面不多，追逐戏不少，使用了大量无人机拍摄镜头，很炫，也很眩晕。其实创意还是不错的，劫匪走投无路抢了救护车，车上有受伤的警察，所以哪怕全城警车都在这辆救护车后跟着，也不敢对这车怎么样。问题是也不能一直开下去，过程中得想办法让这场戏有趣起来，比如开车的过程中做个外科手术。残暴的人直接挂掉，善良的人不仅获救还能得钱，人美心善的人值得用漂亮的樱花衬托。总觉得这样的卡司应该更好才对，不过就这种水平也行吧，最近对院线片要求不高。
4月22日国内上院线，国外上资源…如此谜的操作，票房真的需要救护车抢救一下了

应该是最近低迷电影市场上比较能看的电影了。在丹麦原作的基础上，迈克尔贝带来了视觉技术上的革新，用了大量的无人机、穿越机镜头，再加上眩晕的剪辑和手持运镜，让整个电影几乎都处在运快速运动中，让人看起来颇感吃力，另一亮点就是借此展示了LA的都市风光。不过贝导的大场面调度依旧发挥稳定，但也改变不了本片只是众多B级片中较为平庸的一部。剧情上也就完全放飞自我了。到最后发现竟然是一部歌颂医护人员的主旋律，贝导把急救员小姐姐拍出了梅根福克斯的热辣感觉。作品证明，像艾默里奇、迈克贝这种曾经的大牌导演真的在走下坡路，迈克贝要是能有《危机十三小时》的那种发挥已经是难得了。
一部翻拍片，把原来的白人兄弟，改成一黑一白两哥们。吉伦哈尔的表演还是挺给力的，女主也挺耐看，表演很自然。只是有点扯，那在颠簸疾驰的救护车上远程遥控指导做手术的情节，就是胡编了。整体来说，看个热闹就好了。
现在的我，再回去看石破天惊，我都不知道会不会给好评了，爆炸贝风格不是万能的，好的时候挺好，差的时候是真的拉。最令我诧异的是，杰克吉伦哈尔为啥要接这片，疫情期间活不好接吗？
好多逻辑硬伤，结局救人质杀大佬也是醉了，尼是真的正确。
开头抢银行，劫匪和警察枪战那段很迈克尔贝。逃出银行后，电影就没法看了
