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.
这样的片子在院线序列里竟然只配三星么……我看的非常爽了。服化道美极，波洛探案的全员皆可疑预设也够有噱头，只不过事不过三，东方快车和尼罗河之后再玩一次就腻了。It's always all about money.
虽然截至现在的这两部翻拍反响一般，但已树立了统一的风格。
你别说，嚯，谢苗的动作和一言一行在这部剧里还挺潇洒的。
如果你还没去过埃及旅游，那么《尼罗河上的惨案》倒是一部不错的旅游宣传片。
拖拖进度条看看打戏能看完，大家可能是被烂片荼毒久了，稍微提升一点点质量就叫好声一片。其实剪辑、配音、尤其是剧本都基本上是普通网大水平，不过导演很聪明的从动作写实下手。不能说马马虎虎，只能说马马虎虎了
我愿称Kenneth Branagh为闭塞型filmmaker，真是永远在自己的世界里创作啊，叙事、台词、运镜、剪辑，导演的个人喜好一览无余。比上次的《东方快车谋杀案》稍好些，但不管布景摄影还是妆造都充斥着一股廉价感，就更不用说咱们朵和锤比着谁演技更烂，后半部分他俩基本下线后整部电影表演的质感都提升了不少。肯爹当演员比他当导演好太多了！
很ok，低配东北黑社会版《导火线》，能打的老二老三，分别有一场封闭空间打斗戏，医院戏好于大巴戏。三十岁以后的谢苗，状态对了，配上合适的角色和硬派的动作设计，好评。
後面反轉有點生硬。
写实风格扫黑片，网大中属于不错的，最后一场在狭小空间的动作戏设计的不错，但是演员表现的痛感不足，也就让看的人觉得不够真实。。谢苗以后估计能上大荧幕
这个狭小空间格斗动作设计和摄影调度比怒火重案那种浮夸风格好，就是网大通病剧本弱、预算少、服化道简陋，故事格局也有待提升。还有谢苗这样拥有一身真功夫的男演员值得更好的制作，而不该一直在网大里打滚，国产类型片探索前路漫漫，光靠吴京一个人怕是不行滴！
电影质感还是美的，但是有点空洞。
影片的前半段的确有些拖沓，但实际的案件和探案还是很有娱乐性的，实际上片子也的确没有必要那么长，但片子里那么多人被cancel或者在cancel边缘，估计都已经删了不少东西了。
特效格外出戏，角色形象各种单薄，添油加醋的剧情狗血胜于悬疑。不知道真凶是演技问题还是剧本人设太明显，即便淡忘原著走向也能快速定位到就很无趣，而作案手法和推理过程的演示也是平平无奇，更别说试图升华什么关于爱的理解了，简直毫无触动。P.S. 印象中上一部《东方快车谋杀案》还更好看些。（不排除有德普滤镜加成）
看电影的时候完全没想到啊……………………
没看过原著、没看过老版，感觉案子有点简单，真凶单从动机上就很容易判断，就一个会计表哥稍微会有些许干扰。可怜的妈宝男可以说是被他妈逼死了。觉得回头还是看看原著吧。
3星半吧，很喜欢阿加莎·克里斯蒂，这个故事从小说到之前的2个电影版都看了，甚至去埃及旅游前还复习了一遍，这个当然也不能落下。首映当天看了IMAX，作为悬疑侦探片来说偏文艺了，对波洛进行深挖，导致节奏不是太好，推理环节上略弱，不过盖尔·加朵好美啊~~
6.2/10，动作戏不错，作为一部网大，已经好于不少今年的院线电影了。
被疫情困得死死的，只能看看电影意淫一下远方了；这帮人都被爱情冲昏了头脑……
看过旧版也看过书，但印象真的不深了，一边看着一边回忆起来。虽然侦查过程确实弱了，波洛的性格形象也被大大改动，但是拍得太美了，整个色调与构图美得让我毫无抵抗力。
挺好看的，boc笑的真阳光啊。。我也坐过尼罗河的游轮
