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.
彻头彻尾的爽片，想要隐居田园的杀手凯特准备做完最后一单，一夜情被下放射物204，生命倒计时24小时，寻找黑帮复仇，全程暴力，一言不合就开枪，收获小跟班一枚。柠檬炸弹的广告很硬核～作为杀手居然不能看淡生死。
有的地方还挺惊喜（讨厌的地方也很多）永生的诅咒/Peter Pan和wendy/折翼的伊卡洛斯，看到了一点在叙事和角色刻画上的努力，不过关于永恒族和人类更多近似一种人对宠物的怜爱而看不出更深的bond所以很多剧情就还是就流于表面。还挺喜欢Ikaris的，对于遥不可及的世界像是宿命又或者是诅咒一样的追逐，流泪麦登登简直我见犹怜 💦后面有一段以为你们mcu把大超广场大战女侠小闪又拍了一版，以及I love you Sersi这句台词从Kit嘴里说出来真的好恶趣味啊
复联没了就按复联模式再整一出，但是从内部因价值观矛盾对立到协力对抗宇宙天神（神力越来越高无止尽），有任何新鲜之处吗？如果这是漫威最后一部电影并且真接受人类不值得拯救把地球毁了我还会打个高分。没想到看的第一部赵婷是这个。
开头是超低配2001太空漫游，中间是ai反叛之x-men.ver.妇联内战，核心是电车难题——要不要牺牲小众，拯救大众，feat一堆历史神话reference，sersi、rob和snow之间极强烈的GOT即视感，简直是一个sick joke，宝莱坞的歌舞后加bts的插曲，印度人刚说完family，出来的是friends，直接让我加了0.5倍速，再加上著名的黑gay哭广岛，buff叠满，稀烂到我无话可说，btw, sprite的孤儿怨线很恐怖ok?一点儿都不好笑。总结：浪费我人生的2个半小时半生不熟大杂烩
这片能过6分就离谱，比疾速特攻差了不是一点两点
在上面那个灵堂不远处，写着几个大字。是拉贝说的：
女主的动作片有个最大的问题，就是看着不够厉害
二五仔可还行；
很多年不看漫威，因为电影把太多的笔墨都放在奇观，笑话菜单和宏大的世界观上，都不能好好塑造一个人，就更不可能去塑造好一群人。弑神的故事蛮感人，但没有说服性，活生生的人类像蝼蚁被怜悯，是Serci等人的弧光，不是人类的弧光。朱莉状态太好了，美炸了。
小女孩的演技赛爆了。这部电影才是女性帮助女性啊，厌烦那些大叔拯救萝莉了。
接下来的吸血鬼电影项目也是情理之中，最后表态下，这部我是不买账的。关于真相、虚无、人文、创造与毁灭这类的思辨性的都过得太浅了。够野心的话可以借这次机会用极简主义给超英电影探索新的出路，不需要那些花里胡哨的特效，甚至是讲英文的长着地球人模样的演员，懂我意思不。★★★/6.8
杀手都是悲剧的，不冷的杀手更悲剧，里昂是，凯特也是。很好的杂糅了《杀死比尔》和《这个杀手不太冷》。
miyavi！我特么少年时候的偶像！有人记得这个人吗！
在日本这个国家停止为法西斯暴行遮掩洗刷并且进行彻底反省之前，广岛的废墟不配进入这个维度的艺术创作。
你能理解全片最有演技的是安吉丽娜朱莉是一种什么样绝望的感觉吗……赵婷老师啊……不要靠近漫威 会变得不幸
无愧的良知排行第一。
全片最好看的是片尾可还行
平平无奇的美式快餐电影 整体来说没有一点出彩的地方
没想象的那么难看。不过就是文戏逻辑有点怪，战斗戏没啥新意，还有各种全球种族平等大融合五六的。还有克鲁苏那个造型咋和EVA里那个使徒长那么像？
多主题、多人物，赵导演是真用150分钟踏实在7000年人类历史里塑造10个人物角色，想要的非常多，所以势必不完美，可能最大的意义就是给MCU破局，过去20多年来，MCU就像全世界电影的天神族，不断创造，也不断毁灭。。。
