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.
大儿子全程一脸懵b，苦兮兮中夹杂着笨拙打斗，数次主角光环的死里逃生，纪录片式的镜头语言没有沉浸只有沉闷。
坎妹好黑啊，节奏和配乐太慢，不过很接近真实场景了
橙婷影院
本来冲着坎妹看的，结果戏份很少
3打不过就不能好好躲吗？
在柰飞投拍的电影里算是不错的，有点《亡命天涯》的意思，普通人逃避黑警追捕寻找真相，比较偏写实风格，男主全程跌跌撞撞矬的要死，逃跑连抢个路人摩托车都抢不到。前面悬疑感营造的不错，可这结局有点不懂了，所以这到底算政治惊悚还是黑帮犯罪片？ps:去希腊旅游都这么吓人的吗？
这是什么啊，而且有些情节和构架过于政治正确了
前半段悬疑感十足，但故事本身并没有太强的逻辑性和说服性，最后的揭秘部分也不够透彻，对观众来说前面把好奇心高高吊起，但答案却有些无力，让人失去了“原来如此”的顿悟感。给了个好问题，却没有好答案
男主越看越像《信条》那个，然后又觉得矮了壮了，不是他，看完看一下演员表又是同一个。也许，白人和黑人觉得黄色人种也都一个样吧
错误的人出现在错误的地方。选的主角倒是挺政治正确的。
有亮点，但细节逻辑有些不忍直视。而且最后我个人觉得仓促。
前面一半还行，虽然剧情老套也还能将就看，后面就扯淡了，这么多训练有素的特工打不过一个零基础的主角，子弹打穿了肚子屁事没有而且还能从五楼跳下来正好落在快速行进的车上而且自己还能没事还能收拾一个特工，这特么简直拍成了科幻片！

最后小黑连克美国大使馆官员和希腊警察，主角光环过于强大，反倒让人不信服
不能理解坎妹为何选这片子，头半小时都撑不过，昏昏欲睡，无聊透顶~
我以为是个爱情片最后感觉看了个低配蝙蝠侠。
剧本挺扯犊子的说实话，但还是有挺多创新的东西的，不同于其他的逃亡类作品，朴素的镜头和坂本大佬独树一帜的配乐竟然营造出了传统同类型作品里几乎不可能出现的梦幻感，算是今年看过的较眼前一亮的作品了，冲这点我认为可以给四星
【3】联想到了罗泓轸的《黄海》，也是委屈的男人跑啊跑，同时主角战斗力也都比较高(不然不好走剧情)。
“Do You speak English？”Oh My god，美国🇺🇸人来欧洲旅游还是多学一门外语吧，别见人就问“Do You speak English？”英语的普及度虽然遍及全球，但不至于每个人都能跟你说，你怎么不问，“Do You speak French？”“Vous parler français，oui ou non？”别回头卷入外国政治阴谋都还听不懂别人在说啥。
出国旅行却卷入政治阴谋，语言不通如何逃脱追杀并救下人质？这就是美国游客的fantasy
