Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

挺好啊 轻松愉悦 动作戏也够味儿 这种片要求那么多干嘛
有点像春晚小品，又尬又蠢。Kevin Hart作为一个人站那儿我觉得是讨喜的，但是只要一看他演戏我就尬的难受，可能他的表演方式对我来说太陈旧。故事就是烂梗，吃饭时候随便看看可以
一看有Kevin Hart就知道不是正经片子哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈…性别中立梗玩得太棒
情节很扯，Kevin Heart不好笑，除了打戏运镜OK之外实在没什么看头…Harrison一把年纪了还来上动作戏好敬业。
劇本不好但演員都還不錯。
凯文·哈特我没有感受到他作为小人物对支离破碎的个人生活仍然保持热情（而这应该也是编剧想要塑造的方向），只是觉得他说着不好笑的台词非常的烦。伍迪·哈里森只是一个反衬工具人，好在是通过演技抗住了三分之一部电影。写到这里我突然反应过来，如果我想看这种组合，我为什么不选择《尖峰时刻》？
一个涵盖全世界的杀手组织，为了两百万就倾巢而出，老大娘都亲自下场耍大刀也是让人叹为观止。

非常无聊的话唠爆米花“动作片”，被预告片下面的好评骗了。
前面还行，虽然男主演技全程飘忽不定，靠女主的表演还是很稳的推进剧情，观众不至于跳戏。但是，那是什么烂结尾，男主毫无诚意的轻描淡写二句，就糊弄过去和好了，结尾太草率了，本来还很期待。
m22113：多伦多杀手很冷酷，搭档很呱噪。
有趣更胜《王牌保镖》，性感不输杰森·郭达。
另外，别把车停在铁轨上
为孙锡久而看……剧情我不喜欢……最后应该告到坐牢然后变身监狱糙汉哈哈哈哈
劇本不好但演員都還不錯。
电影的前3/4挺有意思的 结局强行圆满 快速结束有点意犹未尽 男主女主都好像猫 男主缅因 女主像黑猫
因为男主来的，电影本身实在太俗套，电影语言也十分一般，两位演员的演技都体现不出来，女主在燃烧里的灵性也没了
好玩，准商业喜剧，就是最后boss竟然会为了一次任务的钱就亲自下场的安排有点太不符合设定了
久违的兄弟动作喜剧，误打误撞的“蠢货”和人狠话不多的真大佬相爱相杀的犯罪片，作为周末爆米花电影很合适了，中间很多情节确实都大笑出声。
本以为是经典的人在囧途双人组人设配置，没想到这个杀手关键时刻还有那种为爱所困的可爱。爽片真的有笑到！！
