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.
No.2393 还挺有意思的，但最后的结局是要传达摆烂的态度吗？
只要看过原版，自然就会进行比较——除了黄政民可能会胜出一些，其他都不太行
是所有人看了都希望犯罪份子不要有事的片子，拍的很舒服，犯罪女主们很拉好感，当然胖子探员也是好人，大家最后都朝着更好的方向前进，皆大欢喜，只是为何没细究黑客问题呢。
bebe rexha的出现比整部戏更让我惊讶
3. 最大输家：丈夫
我真的好喜欢这个系列~但是这一部有点……没太哥特的感觉？
还阔以，至少改编时花了心思，不像我们一帧一帧照着拍，都拍不好
康妮和邻居黑女闺蜜乔乔跑到印刷优惠券的墨西哥工厂，买通里面的工人和送优惠券的司机，获得大量优惠券，而后开网站兜售，赚了巨额美金500万！网店被封、账号被冻结后，找黑客删掉视频、网店等罪证，半年后账号解冻，取出现金，购买5辆兰博基尼、1车厢枪支用来洗钱，但只花去200多万，又花33万做了试管婴儿手术，剩余200多万全部存入纸箱。最后被FBI逮捕，但花钱聘请了最好的律师，最终只判了11月监禁且能保释，闺蜜只判10天，而200万现金保留完好，出狱后来了家正规公司。很完美，但这仅是艺术电影，现实的案例比这惨得多，不仅入狱、还得归还4000万的商家损失
看第一部动画片不明白为什么说“惨遭”迪士尼化，看完这部彻底明白了。就是说编剧你觉得这合理吗？你是不是还挺骄傲的？
虽然是喜剧，但这情节果然很米国，体验固然重要，不过从百万身价的冠军到局子里领盒饭的故事真不是一个好引领，米国人真想得开
喜欢1918年的信的段落编排。
难以想象这电影和昨天刚看的终极大闷片Beneath the Harvest Sky出自同一对导演之手（by the way，好奇他们哪来的渠道总能请到一堆蛮强大的卡司）。
黄大叔yyds！！！！连一部小成本电影都演技在线
轻松幽默 分寸把握得刚刚好 结尾也令人暖心
绑匪也挺蠢的，就是一帮变态佬。
小品级暖心励志犯罪喜剧 还不错~值看[吃瓜]
7/最后女主在考试院里陈列家具时我想美国也有这么小的公寓吗？然后发现its fucking jail
感觉题材挺有趣的
没有超越原版，原版四星，这部也就一两星，要没有黄政民都不会看
这跟黄政民有什么关系，你换个李政民也没问题，还不如同类型的电影好看，就是挂了个黄政民的噱头。这个反派头子好像nuguri笑死我了，演得好尼玛欠打，你装你妈呢！看到了仁显的汉东，鱿鱼的智英，还有我们身材爆好的小率。几个反派都太脸谱化了，毫无看头。警察一如既往的蠢猪，韩影到底跟警察行业有什么仇怨，塑造的形象总是这么弱智。
