Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
跟鬼有区别吗？👻
这不是一部爽片，这一部反乌托邦的作品。
就算寒冷无比的冰海，就算分分钟钟在枪林弹雨中丧命，寻找女儿的母爱不息。
开始和结束挺随意，溜冰过海送生化武器，女主都是为了女儿，然而一切都是谎言，然后就带着病毒自爆了
noomi姐姐面部骨相很帅的，单纯人设比普罗米修斯里的帅太多了
一个人的武装表演。末日，战争，生化毁灭人类。情节还是闷。
这种片子赶紧死透吧，艹。
换汤不换药，比较老套的故事，不过故事发生在镖局，这倒是有点新意的，但整体故事没有什么亮点，而且小虎墩的性格也不讨人喜欢，太聒噪了。总体来说，故事流畅性还可以，小虎墩的性格也鲜明地体现了出来，算是合格但并不突出的国产动画了。
剧情：6
速滑完成战役任务，还是挺新颖的，整个一冰上的北欧两项。
那句话怎么说的来着？永远不要低估一个被欺骗/背叛的女人的怒火。
挺标准和完整的，就是动作戏还差了点。每年能有这种质量的国漫已经算不错了。
2.5星 拍的这么垃圾，试着回忆了一下，女主特别喜欢塑造这类角色，总是最后一个死，死得无可奈何，反正自己把棋走死了，爱咋咋地吧。
第1次看这种瑞典的动作片，而且是在滨海上滑冰的战争片，还有点新意，觉得女主还很强悍，为了爱，为了孩子爆发出所有的战斗力。最终发现被骗以后，做出了伟大的牺牲。整个人物的塑造和主题还是有些欠缺，但是自己竟然还是看完了。
动机和铺垫过于单薄，可惜了演员的卖力演出了。
这个片子在战争环境，人类的抉择，世界需要和平，这部片子值得一看，尤其是在冰面，上滑行那个效果确实做的挺好的，值得一看
或许真实的事情就是这个样子，不咋好看，但觉着比较真实吧
前半部分悬念迭起，后半部分轻松预测盒饭顺序。毫无悬念
总之，看看还是无妨。
这个故事很套路，我们已经看过无数遍了。技术也很不过关，特别是在看赔偿清单这一块，完全是凌空看书？树都是贴皮的，人物很脸谱化，没什么代入感。镖师是一个很辛苦的职业，恐怕是没法童趣和儿戏的。这个项目唯一的优势在于主人公的形象，再加上又是虎年。杨标师太路人了，二当家设定可以再讨喜一点。总之这个项目具备了成功的条件，纵使套路大纲也可以讲的有趣，可惜了很不用心。
