This film is an extremely entertaining psychological thriller with Carrol Baker excellent as a rich American widow getting away from it all at a secluded Italian villa. Enter smart aleck down on his luck playboy, Lou Castel, who has some golddigging motives behind his slick hipster seduction techniques and has no qualms about how he gets what he wants. He encourages Baker's character's incipient alcoholism and dubious self-esteem, brings in his supposed 'sister' to help drag Baker even further into a maze of sick mind games, drug addiction and group sex, all culminating in a descent into near-madness and self-destructive depravity.
I won't give away anymore, suffice to say that the film delivers on its swinging sixties, Euro sleaze ambience and psychological suspense thriller credentials in spades. Director Umberto Lenzi's work has been, at best, uneven and he's churned out his share of crap. However, he made some quite good giallos and crime pictures in the sixties and seventies and this is one of them (other good films by Lenzi -- SPASMO, SEVEN BLOODSTAINED ORCHIDS, ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON, to name only a few).
Unfortunately this film is ofen confused with another okay but not-quite-as-good Lenzi film that was also released briefly here in America under the same PARANOIA title (but is more commonly known, especially on video, as A QUIET PLACE TO KILL).
叫掘金不如交守金,完全是人为作死,最后螳螂和蝉都有天收
本片除了老年痴呆失忆,其它与记忆毫无关系,人物塑造尤其弱,尤其男二警察矛盾的心理的纠葛完全没有展现,结尾也没有最终自我升华,反而墨西哥警察变成了杀手。还有连姆大叔真的只能演这种角色了?不是特工就是杀手,不是保护就是复仇,题材无新意剧情无新意人物无新意。还有反派也太弱了,这么有钱居然请不起其它杀手和保镖。打斗场面也很敷衍。
我不理解,一个疑心同伴会独吞金子进而选择留下来守金的人,居然会放心地把自己的生命交到这个不信任的同伴手里,好似完全没有考虑过被伙伴放弃的可能性,剧情的每一环我都有很多的不理解
看完了,比上一部 Blacklight 好很多,我觉得可以给7分。
Alex Hugo Vincent. 导演会取名系列。老套路爽片,阿尔兹海默症晚期杀手的绝唱。Justice has no use.
有时候这个世间还真的需要那些隐匿在阴影中的暗夜骑士…
连姆是奔着杀手大叔终身成就奖去的,这个适配角色故事都可以连上了
男主杀手因阿尔茨海默病失忆的设定不错,心中最后的善恶信念也算合理,剧情上不功不过,但卡司们都上了年纪,亮点少了很多。电影简单来说:善恶难分,弱者最后的正义或许只能以暴制暴~
A colossal waste of time
②莫妮卡·贝鲁奇,曾经的美丽传说…
打斗片段依然干脆
A colossal waste of time
女神都多大年纪了还不显老呢,最后一个镜头确实有点血腥了
开头结尾都很工整,中间的叙事完全是业余水平,除了演员表前四个人剩下的演员甚至连基本的演技都没有
一部可以看看的电影。
有一种感觉,英雄迟暮,深感惋惜,但内心的正义没有老
没那么落俗套,有一些创新之处。可惜,不能说太多,要不然这部电影就没法儿看了
建议跳着看看动作戏就好了,有两段还是挺过瘾的。
阵容豪华,全是老一代 的经典影星. 感觉现在看各种动作片,突出一个字,无脑.
一单两命留雏妓,黄雀旋踵添血债。
