Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
片子的质感是不错的，比长津湖好，但人物没有新的关系，范伟哪怕一开始真的是懦弱做了汉奸，张涵予就死在他手里，或者再大胆点，张涵予根本就是叛徒，范伟被他害死，电影都会比现在好看得多。观众现在就是等着看日本人怎么反扑，然后怎么对决，如坐针毡。
周也安安静静当个电影里的花瓶还是合格的
马伯庸前脚刚说完日本直到1945年才研制出盘尼西林（离量产还远）后脚本片编剧就把这个不可能的茬当个麦格芬放火车上推动高潮戏了，范伟的表演还是稳，前面刚看过《不速来客》里的机智老贼，这会儿就给你上个站台王酒鬼，那个拔栓拉弦儿扔雷的动作一气呵成，然后不回头爆炸的真男儿演的活灵活现。至于张涵予，他一直都在演自己，或者说杨子荣，或者说谷子地，或者说闷三儿，或者说和战狼并列的主旋律专业户，其实这片文戏还行，比之老版铁道游击队对日本人的刻画可以说比较接近现实，编剧也明白一个基本的道理：反派不够强大凸显不出英雄的伟大。但一到打戏就有点露怯，特别是最后的炸火车高潮戏，实属拉跨，没啥看点，最后甚至非常俗套的反派话多，英雄就义，身上一捆炸药包的威力堪比一百吨TNT，直接进入了八百里开外射杀鬼子的神剧剧情。
不急不躁。鱷魚潭與閃靈斧還有藍色恐懼的浴缸，如若《Get Out》的富白人不能將靈魂移植年輕肉體。撕殺場面乾淨利落，高潮戲笑！翻！全！場！
比较写实的一部片子，男人味十足，配乐真的挺好听的。
广影 氛围质感不错，老王加分，可惜剧情没跟上。

范伟的个人演技秀，映衬得所有人都黯然失色。
此片问题在于编剧太弱，导演太重视构图、画面、气氛，忽视或缺乏讲好故事的能力。故事多发生在车站或工棚里，真正铁道上的戏不多，看不出铁道飞虎队的神采。范伟传递情报的手段太单一，最后炸火车的方式居然是队长上车去同归于尽，这其实都是硬伤，还有好些穿帮的细节就不多说了，可惜了好题材又给拍糊了。
中规中矩的主旋律电影，不至于6分以下吧！长津湖水门桥之类，多花点钱多花的zzzq的话题就值7分以上了？
范伟的演技真的是秒杀其他所有人 包括张涵予在范伟的映衬下都显得寡淡无味
因为有范伟的几个神级的微表情表演，张涵予酷烈的纯爷们脸，最后牺牲扣一下帽子的牛仔洒脱感，让本片可以处在及格线以上。漫天的飞雪，老火车的蒸汽巨轮，弥漫的老北方冬天感觉，脏兮兮被雪半遮盖的老街景，黑白杂间的支棱巴翘破破烂烂的棚户，扎实青砖垒砌的堡垒一样的日式建筑楼，冬日老城的氛围感做的还很触动。但是通篇下个没完的雪就显得调性太单一了。就跟剧情推进一样，好像没有流逝感。人物内心既没有成长和波澜，矛盾也没能进化和演变，大反派一来就是高智商的恶贯满盈，正派小弟们就得鲁莽一根筋，洪哥就必须淡定坚忍判断力超强，小护士也不知为个啥就加入了铁道队，连政审都不用；指导员就是伟光正化身，对推进剧情也没毛贡献；只有范伟塑造的角色还有点意思，追着小破孩让他管自己叫爸爸。然后照样的没完没了死不了。和风声与悬崖之上没法比
媳妇儿说的：一个当兵的，一个跳舞的，两个人身体素质都不错，所以还能东奔西跑一晚上干掉了所有人
星全给Uncle Wang aka 王桑，全片担当，男主角
喜欢铁路题材，喜欢枪战硬汉题材，喜欢历史革命题材，也喜欢范伟父子的演技，周也也是好看的，但电影本身拍的真的不太行，节奏和情节烘托都有点奇怪，感觉出导演很努力想要去学习悬崖之上吧…
编剧实在不行，有几个段落翻了白眼。范伟和年轻小伙子的戏有任何意义吗？结尾的高潮戏份也是很混乱。可惜某些镜头语言和画面质感还不错的。
A24
视听层面有想法，有点像追求70年代B级片的LowFi质感，但叙事方面有些差
范伟演技很好，张涵予天生的军人硬汉形象。
这么优秀的演员们，这么好的服化道，都没把故事撑起来。还请来刘德华还献上了片尾曲？？？买个好剧本这么难吗？这么耳熟能详家喻户晓的故事都拍的这么苍白！文艺工作者们啊！能不能虚心下来，朴素下来，给劳动人民好好写个故事~！
