Haunted by the memory of Walter Holderlin, a soldier he killed during World War I, French musician Paul Renard (Phillips Holmes) confesses to a priest (Frank Sheridan), who grants him absolution. Using the address on a letter he found on the dead man's body, Paul then travels to Germany to find his family.
As anti-French sentiment continues to permeate Germany, Dr. Holderlin (Lionel Barrymore) initially refuses to welcome Paul into his home, but changes his mind when his son's fiancée Elsa identifies him as the man who has been leaving flowers on Walter's grave. Rather than reveal the real connection between them, Paul tells the Holderlin family he was a friend of their son, who attended the same musical conservatory he did.
Although the hostile townspeople and local gossips disapprove, the Holderlins befriend Paul, who finds himself falling in love with Elsa (Nancy Carroll). When she shows Paul her former fiancé's bedroom, he becomes distraught and tells her the truth. She convinces him not to confess to Walter's parents, who have embraced him as their second son, and Paul agrees to forego easing his conscience and stays with his adopted family. Dr. Holderlin presents Walter's violin to Paul, who plays it while Elsa accompanies him on the piano.
The film's original title, The Man I Killed, was changed to The Fifth Commandment to avoid giving "wrong impressions in the minds of the public about the character of the story." It ultimately was released as Broken Lullaby.
悬疑外表下的关于梦想、时代与人性的剧情片，只是人物塑造较差，人物动机和情感逻辑欠佳，最重要的是故事节奏很差，看完难免有拖沓之感，很多铺垫为了结尾的反转，但结果不仅不难猜，细品更是漏洞百出。又是一个执行力跟不上想法的导演，唯一喜欢的点就是该片的摄影了。
日本黑帮电影向来都有它独特的风格，本片黑帮主角塑造得非常立体，让人望而生畏，印象深刻。
完成度很高的作品。剧本、演员、配乐、摄影。全都在线，悬疑的铺设也都合情合理，堪称国产电影之光。只可惜总有人装逼打低分。有些人，一旦跪下，就再也站不起来了！！！
气死我了！
日本黑帮片让我觉得日本的警察一点用都没有，想杀人杀人，比起韩国和香港的黑帮片来说差距真的太大了，权力和武力甚至于谋划一点都展现不出来
为什么要用人石黑一雄小说的名字啊，明明一点关系都没有…
第一部还能说得过去，第二部真的不能理解
总是少了第一部分某一些独有的气质 同时置景和枪战 血腥已经沦为某种娱乐属性的意味了 警局内部的黑幕也是匆匆忙忙得赶制而写就的多余篇章 希望别搞个第三部出来了
整部電影純粹故弄玄虛，邏輯混亂，漏洞百出，很多情節經不起推敲，那個演章欣的演員感覺傻了叭唧的，那個刑警隊長一天到晚黑著一副苦瓜臉，見誰都大呼小叫，特別是對從上海請來的畫像專家章欣那種態度，我都恨不得把他從手機里揪出來爆扁一頓。全片無論男女，就沒有一個讓人喜歡的角色。甚至片名都是照搬日本的書。劇情挺俗套的，一上來就基本猜對全部內容了。感覺更傾嚮文藝片，但又沒到那個高度，不倫不類的。懸疑劇不能讓觀眾感覺到自己比編劇還聰明，那肯定是不成功的。
画面非常棒，有时甚至有油画的味道，剧情稍弱些
没有第一部塑造角色成功，反派恶的来源竟然是童年不幸？
最後玩起來肉體消滅這一套就沒意思了139min
松坂桃李不够役所广司的魅力啊，这个level有点不够2，不过1.5是有的
满足了，最后日冈丛林中寻狼的一幕已经令人满足。
风格还是和第一部近似，依旧是那么血腥，不过现实中黑帮的世界应该会更加残酷，相比第一部少了几分真实，相较上一部的大上章吾，这一部的日冈在为人处世上还是嫩了些。
有点血腥 确实没有1好看 反派有点太变态了
选角导演和声音设计已经尽力挽回这个把故事背景设计在1997年却和故事角色没有什么密切关系的1981年的刑侦技术连尸体身份都确认不了的以男性视角效颦重现《绝叫》的剧本了。
少了前作的精气神！不说狗尾续貂，也是差强人意…
时间太长，压缩到100分钟能更好一点，比第一作血腥度弱多了，还有也就西野七濑的屁股算个看点吧
可能是因为原创的脚本，逊色第一部不少，但还是期待第三部（
