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.
6.5/10 中规中矩，警局内的一段枪战戏+0.5
比第二部好，但是也没有好到哪里去。前一个小时的节奏非常非常拖沓，后边稍微好一点，但是兴奋点依然非常有限，只有邪气的拉斯普丁算是小惊喜。恶搞历史的部分足以让某些人血压升高，不过对我来说，这种程度的恶搞也没有啥太大的意思。
现在的米国片是不是必须得有各种肤色的人搁一块拍才能ZZ正确？
有几个地方还可以、但大部分地方都很垃圾、警局的人真的是智商堪忧.尤其是最后死在卫生间的那两位.笑死我了
看到陷落这两个字，都不用看海报，我脑海里第一个想到的就是杰拉德巴特勒……
《警察局(2021)》 （2022.1.24） 5
源起，选了至今依然非常隐晦的历史主题，一战前共济会(资本和银行的力量,片中的shepherd)扶持深层政府的崛起，与世界的旧秩序皇权的对抗，消灭皇权建立世界的新秩序，彻底释放资本的力量的这段秘史。正如片中列宁所言，资本深层势力不惜将左派魔力释放出来，右派是否还能制衡？虽然最终英国皇权得以留存，但也是名存实亡。贵族和皇权最终全部退出历史舞台，沦陷于资本的膝下(二战极左和极右两大势力崛起，从资本扶持到对抗资本是后话)。再提列宁一段，众所周知的只是德皇提供了金马克送其回国，但共济会的资金支持，甚至不惜武力干预，才是大家津津乐道的秘密和传言。
设在荒郊野岭的警察局，改成监狱或许更合逻辑。骗子、追捕者和杀手在警局大开杀戒的设定是很合观众胃口的，可惜拍烂了……
骗子，杀手，黑警，疯子，好久没看到这种犬牙交错黑吃黑的爽片了，不过这种爽是建立在整体行业内卷标准随之降低的当下大背景上的，也无法要求太多了，再，有些黑色喜点真的可以
警匪无脑片，故事背景设简单，但是来头不小，骗子掮客、FBI、坏警察、好警察！超级职业杀手，女警察很酷，角色塑造分明，看的出编剧导演水平在线的，流水线片，看一个打打杀杀，低成本，有这样效果，还不错。
坏人表现的非常“好”，好人也表现的非常“坏”。配角的暗讽、背景乐、番茄酱、几个机位还是有挺多有趣的地方…
这个警局是离室内有多远，郊外吗？啥啥都孤立无援的，里面的人物其实性格都很鲜明，最喜欢最后俩人同时收听那首神经病唱的歌。
14-098 美国《警察局》
神勇女警之我的队友都是猪。典型的「有个好点子但方方面面都执行得差口气」：如开篇引出巴特勒片段，摄影不给多处中弹的警车镜头，不给醉汉镜头，不给警察镜头；所以我们既不知道那是警车，也不知道他醉了，更不知道那两位是警察——全靠台词。知道沙漠夜景很美，但必须让位于视觉叙事，不可喧宾夺主。神经病杀手属于典型的「炸裂」式伪演技，同时耍的也只能算「伪笑话」；反复靠冷枪反杀只会暴露编导的无能；为了高潮部分的两次绝处逢生，前面的送女儿枪和比拔枪快均属为了埋伏笔而埋伏笔，没扣住核心故事，太散且篇幅过长；三人对峙时画面被监狱栏杆割裂，无聊正反打看得缺乏霸气，好歹学着用用镜子吧？集中两大动作片主角，但只有末尾撑住了场面，其余部分废话多得让人恶心，装逼起范儿也慢到夭寿，剪到 60 分钟以内正好。尾声反转拙劣而无必要。
本系列的招牌之一就是一直对动作戏非常有想法，在这一点上，中段将哥萨克舞蹈融入打斗之中，配上恢弘的民族音乐，令人拍案叫绝，恍惚本系列的风采归来；但实际上本片的动作戏也就到此为止了，结尾雪山一段出来的效果意外地略平凡，你会发现拉叔和反派俩人加起来的动作戏都不如脸叔一个人打得好。文戏方面，特工学院曾经着重强调的打破阶级壁垒在本片中已经彻底被抛弃，从设定到核心，全部都是贵族们的游戏，倒是正面战场部分，那种英雄理想伴随着荒谬残酷，的确达到了一定程度的反战语境。中段神奇地有一段反派与拉叔的pwp，我瞳孔地震直呼卧槽马修沃恩会玩，饰演儿子的迪金森一张公学脸不是不好看，而是不够sharp和charming。总体来说还是比黄金圈更加无聊，头半个小时简直想玩手机，不能指望两段戏就扭转乾坤。2.5.
可以收录「一些同名系列要看完的强迫症害我看烂片」系列
ralph主角我不行。故事莫名其妙配乐太大声。goode的颜还是那么棒。brutal for no reason特别烂生气，化用历史part也很低能。回想kingsman第一部，就知道mv不行。拖到现在不知道还能拍几部。还有aaron。审美也差，beachrat的小哥也不好看了。最后开会把每个人名号按上那里有点回归第一部想念我merlin有一星。goodie一星。
及格分，前期塑造花费太多功夫，搞面对面念白实在是很拖沓也让人很费解，到后期的枪战稍微提升了些，一直到最后的一系列转折才有电影的样子。女主独自撑场，其他人来回整活，角色性格是鲜明了，节奏却是错乱，最后30分钟好看些
一会儿写篇文章， 王男的老味道，够戏谑够叛逆，视作严谨电影而言解构有硬伤，但是这种缺陷也可作为其特征的一部分
格局小了点，人物个性诠释的还行就是意图不明。然后空间场景都有局限性，动作部分也一般
