This early 70's giallo by Umberto Lenzi is certainly among the best in his filmography and also in the whole genre. Personally I think Lenzi's best films are the funny cartoon-turned-film Kriminal, the stylish giallo Seven Blood-Stained Orchids, the explosive Napoli violenta and this. In the eighties he did plenty of film trash in form of Eaten Alive, Hitcher in the Dark or Black Demons, all of which are ripping something off and/or very dull and slow moving. Knife of Ice came when the giallo boom was at its hottest and the result is convincing.
Technically the film is superb, containing great cinematography in the beginning when we learn about the main character's trauma towards trains. From this point on, Lenzi shows us his ability to benefit the widescreen and, for example, the bicycle ride near the forest is genuinely beautiful! This scene also shows Lenzi's ability to build suspense, very slowly but meaningfully. After all, there aren't so many murders in the whole film, only the suspense circulating around the murderer's identity.
One suspect is a devil worshipper which brings new aspects to the mystery. Since the final scene takes place in a church, one can wonder if Lenzi wanted to comment on something, maybe the hypocritical morale of church and superstition. The main character (Carrol Baker) is mute which demands a lot from her face and eyes. The actress works very well, giving us a believable performance circulating around the emotions of fear and mental pain. The other actors are good, too. The finally, however, may not give too positive a sight about female sex since they all are expressed rather negatively in the film, one way or another. Still this is easily among the most noteworthy in the genre, not as bloody as the Argento films, for example, but equally suspenseful and visually also interesting.
能看，但记不住，反正老爷子就是要干你，不过老爷子这么大年纪了，片子里基本次次都有一夜情或被暧昧、明示暗示，挺厉害的
看来是要彻底榨干尼姆老爷子啊，70的人了，还在干年轻人的活，加一星吧。阅片量少的可以看看
营救宇宙又一部，记忆营救？
不错啊 有点像荒野猎人 命运的轮转
硬是拖剧情啊，还把撞针搞掉了……亿万富翁家里没保安的嘛，随便就进去杀人了……
哈，死于不知道怎么节约用水和怎么跟陌生人打交道。也是活该。
一个患有老年痴呆症的杀手，对于一份杀手任务确投入了感情。导致洗心革面反杀罪恶集团！
现在看连姆·尼森已经不仅仅是审美疲劳的问题，而是真心无力吐槽，就跟看到《乡村爱情14》一样的感觉。不管你是想看不想看，他都会每年稳定的出。今年连姆·尼森正好70岁，连莫妮卡都58了，哎！5
分太低了，我个人认为很好看。卡司华丽，跟大叔以前的独角戏相比，群戏做得不错。患有阿茨海默的杀手太让人心酸了，而警探们的有心无力也刻画到位。最后还是靠黑暗的公正解决反派，我能理解老墨这么做的动机。
剧情七零八落的，为了跟片名记忆呼应上在最后硬生生来了一出靠记忆找到关键证据的桥段，我真是醉了。
慢慢看，有点像美剧，悲剧的结尾加一分，记忆和法律都是靠不住的
“Men like us don’t retire ”70岁了，连姆尼森还没退休。应该秉持传统，把中文名翻译为记忆营救。实际上全片都没怎么呼应老年痴呆这条线，远不如盖皮尔斯年轻时演的记忆碎片。名字像是印度裔的女警探简直就是印度杨恭如。
法律在金钱面前举步难行，不得不有人站出来扫除障碍，黑亦白时，白亦黑！
连姆大叔继承了杀手莱昂留下的传统底线：No women, no kids，为此跟雇主死磕。正义和记忆的联系实在有点牵强，最后的结尾感觉是实在没法收场了，又不能让观众不爽于是只能来个机械降神。
4、拿枪干架见人就打，不拿枪干架见面就被人揍
当制度不公时。。。唯有以暴制暴。。。PS：连大爷还是这么猛。。。
十多年前看连姆尼森是那样，前些年看营救系列还是那样。这次终于肉眼可见的衰老。莫妮卡也老成不成样了。墨西哥籍警察戏份完全多余。印裔女警也是酱油不能再酱油。纯粹为了叠buff。也难怪，没点buff怎么好意思跟人打招呼。
男主也是一种性格人类！无论如何，电影都值得7.1分。不能太低了。
连姆·尼森后飓风营救时代标准三星片，但这部要稍微好看一些。脱离了主角光环的尼森显然找到了更适合自己的路子，既然已经打不动了，不如做个穿针引线的配角助上自己的一臂之力。
剧情类似《边境杀手》
