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.
迈克尔贝对电影的掌控一塌糊涂，完全没有商业片的节奏，只是几个车哐哐一通撞而已。剧情没有分步骤，既缺乏悬念又感觉乱七八糟。劫匪、警方和黑帮的利益博弈本来可以作为动态平衡来推进，从小黑到漂亮的消防员，都不知道动机在哪？
整部电影充斥着落后于时代的老旧创作思路和过于脱离观众的炫技桥段，及其鸡肋的文戏非但没有给观众带来深度的共情，反倒给了影评人以可乘之机，画蛇添足的兄弟情和毫无意义的对九十年代动作片的致敬，无疑是导演过于自大、热衷回忆往日的辉煌而如一潭死水般不愿随时代潮流进步、学习的表现。
这是什么狗屁的政治正确，黑人现在电影里都不能死了吗？最后开枪打死他哥，what the fuck？还有最后女医生让大家救威尔的片段，演得简直让人出戏，改名叫圣母总动员吧
看完要开车又赶时间，极带感，这是麦拷贝电影的实效，即便剪辑和控镜真是没啥。想着都奇怪，最后几分钟四平八稳的剧情交待让人无语，完全不及格。
痴孖筋的，无人机用得离谱，但还是传统大片那个味
剧本也就这样吧，竟然在电影里让我发现两处明显拼接痕迹，剪辑也太差了
3星，6.5
无意中点开，看了一个小时我就想：“这特么怎么弄得跟迈克尔贝似的？”hh
黑白兄弟在一次抢劫银行的行动失败后劫持了一辆救护车，车上有一名女急救员和一个负伤的警察，在洛杉矶市中心他们开始了一路疯狂的逃亡。
爆炸贝又拍了一部厄长且硝烟四起的电影，剧情上面大硬伤没有，但是小故障是此起彼伏，我在救护车上做手术，基本属于“空想科学世界”，只能说美国人编起来让人感觉天花乱坠！
还行吧 反正也不需要什么逻辑 刺激就完事儿 但是感觉爆炸场面还是不太够 换车这个桥段也没啥新意
兄弟俩的逃难之旅根本不在计划内，太业余的行动，
3.5。从粗糙的片头开始就带有上世纪好莱坞动作片的古早味，加上吉伦哈尔20年不变的脸，除了超夸张的无人机摄影几乎看不出任何2020s电影的氛围，还挺怀旧的。剧情就是too dumb to be serious，在完全的怀疑暂停中笑了两个小时。
爆炸贝镜头功力依然还是一流，什么才是艺术就是爆炸💥
卖拷贝导的飙车，撞炸大戏还算抓眼球
很有槽点的各种穿梭机，神秘客式略疯癫的帅老吉，咆哮戏神似丹皇的黑哥，警方和女主那些专业性的感觉很赞，值得一提的是吐槽了《勇敢的心》《GTA》等作品。而穿凉拖抢银行、枪战打中泰迪熊、老吉打不过就求饶、二人放声唱歌等几处反差萌和幽默的台词很有笑点，街头枪战戏很有致敬迈克尔曼《盗火线》的感觉了。
不知所云的剧情，唯一的亮点是大量使用穿越机的镜头，对于电影观众来说确实是新奇的体验，劫匪公路片却因为两个人质的存在异常的拧巴，而且有一万种逼停救护车的方式，但就是玩起来没完，咱扎个胎行不行，太难受了，枪战也远远谈不上过瘾
普通商业动作片。迈克尔·贝这次爆炸场面不多，追逐戏不少，使用了大量无人机拍摄镜头，很炫，也很眩晕。其实创意还是不错的，劫匪走投无路抢了救护车，车上有受伤的警察，所以哪怕全城警车都在这辆救护车后跟着，也不敢对这车怎么样。问题是也不能一直开下去，过程中得想办法让这场戏有趣起来，比如开车的过程中做个外科手术。残暴的人直接挂掉，善良的人不仅获救还能得钱，人美心善的人值得用漂亮的樱花衬托。总觉得这样的卡司应该更好才对，不过就这种水平也行吧，最近对院线片要求不高。
太gta了，可惜了画面和风格，穿越机角度晕，故事没内容，硬凑了两小时
味如嚼蜡，可惜了我最爱的杰克•吉伦哈！
