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.
不选盖尔的都是脑子有坑!
第一次看恐怖片这么好笑，除了画面很cult外剧情好迷惑
Linnet不够女王，Jacqueline不够聪明，Simon太丑，Poirot不够萌，选角大型flop，故事吧看着就更闹心了……之前看了04版已经觉得不行了，真要看就看78版的吧，至少故事完整风光绮丽，干脆要不都别看了直接看书吧……
充满了让人反感的做作和匠气。好比如一定要给手枪一个特写，一定要设计棱形玻璃门窗并透过它拍人物关系，仿佛学到的每一个技巧都要运用进来。还夹杂着黑人议题，同性恋内容，阶级差异，但是都浅尝辄止，透着投机的意味。所有表演都很表面，盖尔加朵除了赚钱以外也该考虑自己选片的角色定位了。
It is not bad.
评论区要求有点高啊，这个系列本来就是轻剧情重恐怖效果，故事2、3的表现力已经相当不错了
阿婆原文的优雅从容以及背后的诡秘荡然无存，只剩为了悬疑而悬疑的叙事。看完气的想给导演两个大逼兜。
窒息为什么把我可爱的小老头搞成这样！！！滚啊！
创新太难，命题作文更难。可以理解，无法原谅。
这版波罗目前出了两部阿加莎最有名的两部小说改编的电影，实在改编的太烂了。波罗本来就是主角，没必要再给自己加那么多戏了。导演是鬼迷心窍了还是表现欲太强了？
阿婆的故事即使情节烂熟于心，还是每次从头看到尾。感谢摄影技术的进步，美丽的尼罗河风光。人物及设定有改，也加了新的迎合时代的情节和表现形式，但是主线和内核没有变化。前后两部看下来，还挺喜欢这个版本的波洛，虽然最后给他安排的些许感情戏份有点…，也算是一种创新吧哈哈。
好难看啊，从头到尾love love love也不腻吗？太傻逼了……而且都加上种族同性议题，怎么还在两女追一丑男呢？令人不适。感觉都没东方快车谋杀案好
味同嚼蜡。开篇的战争画蛇添足，前一小时可以用一句话概括，一部悬疑片没有任何解密的快感，哪怕我只想静静地欣赏埃及美景，也被船两边“精致”得像CG的画面劝退，更别提每个角色都好似自带舞台剧打光，Rose Leslie这么多年演技毫无进展，Gal Gadot也是迅速衰老且毫无吸引力。
中规中矩，略优于上部，但还是犯了《东方快车谋杀案》的毛病，就是叙事杂乱，不必要的场景太多，前几幕衔接的问题很大，既要在前几幕给不了解故事的观众构建波洛的人设，又没有合理的将人物关系介绍清楚，拍摄悬疑片却把钱一味的往服饰道具和布景上砸，肯尼斯.布拉纳真应该考虑下自己是否要继续拍第三部了。
加同性元素，加种族元素，还给侦探也加了感情戏，最后结尾十分潦草，又给侦探加戏，我真的不理解😅
能做到从头错到尾没一场戏是“合格”的也是挺厉害。
女神好美，女同幸存，阿婆泉下莫怪，继续多拍多拍为敬，票价十五块IMAX版周六晚八点黄金场。
虽然没看过原著的人表示风光还行，但是推理的那部分也太敷衍了，感觉是没预算了要一下子拍完...即使老年版的柯南也不带这样的。而且后面比前面要好看些，作为纯路人，为什么要让我们知道波洛的胡子的由来？（疑问脸） / 2022.2.20 SFC 港汇 RealD Cinema 4K Atmos
大调度，风光美，蓝调好听，观光片感觉＞悬疑片，铺垫太长，导致后期疲软，但有我喜欢的梅芙，医生很sugar dady，我可以
