This film is an extremely entertaining psychological thriller with Carrol Baker excellent as a rich American widow getting away from it all at a secluded Italian villa. Enter smart aleck down on his luck playboy, Lou Castel, who has some golddigging motives behind his slick hipster seduction techniques and has no qualms about how he gets what he wants. He encourages Baker's character's incipient alcoholism and dubious self-esteem, brings in his supposed 'sister' to help drag Baker even further into a maze of sick mind games, drug addiction and group sex, all culminating in a descent into near-madness and self-destructive depravity.
I won't give away anymore, suffice to say that the film delivers on its swinging sixties, Euro sleaze ambience and psychological suspense thriller credentials in spades. Director Umberto Lenzi's work has been, at best, uneven and he's churned out his share of crap. However, he made some quite good giallos and crime pictures in the sixties and seventies and this is one of them (other good films by Lenzi -- SPASMO, SEVEN BLOODSTAINED ORCHIDS, ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON, to name only a few).
Unfortunately this film is ofen confused with another okay but not-quite-as-good Lenzi film that was also released briefly here in America under the same PARANOIA title (but is more commonly known, especially on video, as A QUIET PLACE TO KILL).
东木老爷子还是那么cowboy
剧情和小男孩演技只能两星，老爷子加一星，音乐加一星。老爷子依旧艳福不浅啊哈哈
晚年的东木，每一部都像在给自己写葬礼上的自述，一部比一部不屑遮掩。有一些很自我，投射自己永远是女性眼里的万人迷；有一些很溃败，当年的传奇迟暮，难逃被遗忘淘汰轻视；有一些很纯粹，坚持自我对电影的认知和审美，拍些自己喜欢的故事场景桥段。都很好，都很坦诚。来到倒计时里，一切兴趣 优势 软弱 局限 失落如果再去隐藏，那为什么还要拍电影呢？
有点儿老年版完美的世界的意思 老年的更平和更温暖 也更自恋 经得起诱惑 把的住情感 既有牛仔的骄傲 也有迟暮的姿态 虽然整体上是拉夸了点 但东木还是很迷人的 那种老牛仔的气息
高产之下，维持质量只是奢望。不过向91岁的老人的敬业精神致敬。
东木91的高龄仍然在拍片，他不知道怎样治愈老去，但每年仍为我们带来一个old school的故事，这就够了。
全年龄级温情西部片，希望老牛仔身体健康，拍到100岁。
最后那两个怀疑东木车里藏du的警察，是不是从《骡子》片场穿越过来的？
典型的公路题材电影，可惜没有多少闪光点，有点太过细碎和泛泛。
哪里哭泣了呢害我一直担心。太老了，实在想不到还有什么魅力让那个寡妇爱上这个真的老的老头。故事也比较平淡。一般般
故事虽不够厚重，但老爷子90+了，要啥自行车，还给自己安排了甜蜜蜜。超级喜欢他
优雅一生的的东木献上了一部温柔的童话故事。
东木老爷子的电影还是看着很舒服。这老爷子给你自己晚年生活整挺好
观后感:结尾出乎意料，我以为农场主欺骗了kid和东木，于是一老一少便留在了墨西哥小镇过平静的生活。
信手拈来的公路片，温情脉脉！不算经典，也水准以上！东木，保重，再来10年！
为报旧主恩而寻子，其崇高的、英雄式的意义却不断被稀释、消解，难掩英雄迟暮之意。虽然得出人生无意义的感慨，但同时对生活本身保持着热忱，比如美好的风光、跨上马背的感觉、孩童和女人。
老爷车没油了，但还在路上
沒想像中的差，但總還是希望東木爺繼續拍下去，就算只是這種簡單的小品也行...
劇情有點平淡，也沒什麼出彩吸引人的部分，中間部分氣氛挺好，結局有點蹩腳，整體來說沒有預想中來得好。
老牛仔最后的余热，一段忘年交之旅。老爷子有点拍不动了，平淡，柔软，温情。且看且珍惜吧。★★★☆
