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).
the whole world is watching，望尘莫及
集中的群像实际只有三个半在线，唇枪舌剑没有实质性内容。
好久没有一场表演能同时带来两种眼泪了。
Newsroom里的索金改变了立场 因为世界也变了
Davis 本人对索金的人物塑造持保留意见 缺点或者说窠臼还是有不少的 但让我个人兴奋的 reference 也是不少(别再吹 Eric Clapton 了 Ginger Baker 比他好到不知那里去了) 结尾的煽动性和喊话够直接 —— The Whole World Is Watching 但同时也要看到：Of course, there are very decent police officers in every state but the systemic racism in the police department just can’t be denied. 好歹是本方队友加一分鼓励吧 希望索金还是意识一下自己太白了的缺点 这种白化简直是可怜了的骑墙感
“与政府对我的蔑视相比，我对政府的蔑视不足一提”需要二刷 4.5
艾伦索金这个表达溢出的臭毛病怎么还没改，有没有人管管了
电影四平八稳。但，真心羡慕美帝人民，可以通过电影来扇老爷们的嘴巴。 羡慕那句“全世界都在看着你们”
历史中发生过的事件，重演过的、近些年又上演的...只是吧不同的对待方式，能让人看见其中的各不同。有的政治审判，还让人看见还有一丝光，还吐露过真相...有的连审判都没有，政治与权力就是审判...这是与我们不同的时代，不同的世界。

节奏和台词太好了，在今年这种全是shi的环境里简直让我感动。无论是每个角色的不同性格冲突还是庭审本身都非常好，而在现在的环境里无论对国内还是国外来说都意外的合适再重新这个历史事件。有时候会觉得那个年代充满了理想主义的梦幻，但他又真实发生过，于是带给人力量。

人家的主旋律电影……结尾交待，霍夫曼法官在年度评级中，被78%的芝加哥庭审律师评为“不合格”！
“我们只不过带着某种思想穿越洲际”开篇短短六分钟间就将情绪推向高潮，几乎一直延续到末尾的高强度故事节奏却不显地凌乱，人物形象如洋葱般饱满真实，各有立场且互不相让，带智商的针锋相对才是永远的万金油，最后众声齐口的“The World is Watching”同点睛之笔。（Jerry Rubin你闯什么马路
奈飞在美国大选期间推出的60年代著名历史事件改编的政治法庭戏，挺有意思。人类现代社会是需要法律的，法律也是在不断地实践、反思、辩论、修正中进步。所以能拍、能看到这样题材之影片，很有意义。
近年来左派电影高峰，三观淋漓，结构紧凑，剪辑犀利，信息密度极大。整部电影就如同俯冲轰炸般发人深省，岂止是美国，整个世界都在经历一个新的60年代。
音乐剧真是各种艺术元素的集大成者，诸多巧思，触动心弦。好久没有这样沉浸的体验了，观赏音乐剧的每一分钟里，生命似乎都更值得一些。

片子拍得很好。但有个角度更好：原来美国人如此反感越战，仅仅是因为死了太多美军士兵。难怪现在不上街反战了呢，感谢无人机和导弹，让美国人民对被侵略国家的成千上万死难者眼不见心不烦。越战时越南平民死了多少人呢，哦，统计不出来。
