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.
没啥新镜头，为了第二季补一波，感觉紧凑了不少
成功不是将来才有的，而是从决定去做的那一刻起，持续累积而成。
可能大残大暴看多了 觉得这片还挺特别的 荒诞中透着真实 可惜剧情有点隔靴搔痒之感 浅尝即止 哮喘式演技还是一如既往的浮夸 这么多年下来 倒也看习惯了
前两天吃饭的时候，断断续续看的。没有大家评价的那么差嘛，结局还是蛮出乎我意料的，别人都看五亿，我在想的是背叛的竟然是好友，另外的那个好友死得也太不值了
很有当下日影特征的一部犯罪片，悬疑只是幌子，实际说的还是经济衰退以及群体意识的悲剧，但最后收尾到并不意外的个人恩怨也转移了核心表达的方向，也就还好，不过藤原龙也的表演可以，国内鲜肉好好跟人家学学哭戏吧

年初看到推上铺天盖地的预告，还以为是夏日重现+大逃杀like，结果前半就是一股犯罪西部片的味道，虽然跟宣传预想不太一样，但还是蛮出乎意料的。但确实比起智斗悬疑，更像是掺杂政治元素的犯罪片，中段岛民与男主纷纷合作，只为了保留下男主这全村的希望，结果一回头自家妻子就在劝说“要不要离开这个地方”，就有种之前某部回到中东老家变国王的美剧的调调，用日式岛民乡土做这样的尝试还蛮不错的，虽然看到后半段才意识到他们没有什么特别的乡音。但可惜最后还是有点崩盘，反转来反转去，悬疑与温情元素就好像一边在批判着、又一边在赞颂着这种微妙的传统良序一样，就还是太乱了，表达相互撕扯。不过不知道为什么觉得很适合引进。3.5归4
前半段飓风大叔，后半段悲情大爷，节奏完全就是两段迥异。其实是可以讲的很好的故事。boss也死的太尴尬了。能看，但不算好。
非常可惜，没有看过原著，但漫画的剧作设定与展开实在是让人惊叹，也不知道是不是影片完全没有改编，包括结尾的处理，但全片看下来，直到警察自杀都相当让人拍案叫绝，把当事人的困境描绘到了极点，只可惜最后匿名短信感觉是败笔，而且这个短信发送人的处理也让人无法信服，演员真是全体出彩，不论是藤原龙也、松山研一、神木隆之介、黑木华还是余贵美子、柄本明包括永濑正敏都相当出彩，原来可以打个至少四星以上，因为结尾处理逻辑关系还是不顺畅，3.5星吧

前面一半还挺好看的，越到后面越拖沓，男主一把鼻涕一把眼泪的演技的确很好，但有点过长…
從意外犯罪到集體犯罪再到嫁禍犯罪……就犯了個寂寞。
老年痴呆是挺可怕的疾病，更可怕的配角领盒饭的速度。一开始以为小女孩会活下来，但是没有；然后以为酒店遇到的美女会活下来，也没有。最后连连森大叔自己都没跟到结局。被资本控制的社会真可怕，最后的正义依然没能靠正规渠道来伸张。
两大男神的合体足够情怀拉满了
告诉我们，犯了罪还是直接自首就好，当然不犯罪才是对的
还是熟悉的味道，而且塔奇克马很可爱；电影世界里的混乱源于米国的贸易战，也点出了日本被米国控制的问题。
乱七八糟，不知所云，每个人物的动机都很迷，这片子里没有正常人类
别玩了，虽然比前几部好一丢丢，也只是一丢丢。原谅我我没看完
剧情莫名其妙也很闷，战斗场面也很一般，可能对3d动画不感冒，看了一半没坚持住就删了...
属实不能理解这个故事后面的反转，理由倒是有，埋线不足…有点硬凑的意思….不过人物病态扭曲的心理倒是表现的很充分，比如镇长，看着就不适
