The story appears simple on the surface, but is revealed, especially after multiple viewings, as more multi-layered and textured than Cassavetes at his best. Ostensibly it concerns a 14-year old Catholic girl, Wynne (Agutter) growing up in this post-modern wasteland, who develops a crush on her much older adoptive brother (Marshall)- a crush which perversely deepens and grows into infatuation once she starts to believe he is the local sex killer. This is in itself an idea that makes you sit up and jolt, but as the narrative develops, it continues not necessarily along a linear path but in several confusing and fascinating directions: the family's history, (detailed effectively in chilling flashback during an improvised seance) is a chequered one, and has suffered at least one major relocation and upheaval in the last ten years. At the crux, however, it's the depiction of socialal changes that make I Start Counting so fascinating and elevate its language far beyond the confines of the standard horror film. The major subtext- that teenage girls were maturing more quickly than before, and developing full sexual and romantic appetites (even if in thought rather than deed) but were not possessed of enough discretion to make the right choices- was a step forward for a genre in which its young females had previously been portrayed as bimbo victims (Cover Girl Killer and The Night Caller spring to mind), but not one that all viewers would necessarily agree with. But most striking of all, and possibly the most enduring image which the viewer will take away with them, is of the masterful symbolism with which director Greene invests every shot. Every inch of the Kinch family's world- their house, their walls, their TV, Agutters underwear, bedroom furniture and toys, Sutcliffe's clothes, Marshalls van, the local Catholic church, their town centre, their record shop) - is painted a bright, scintillating white- a white which, by inference, is slowly becoming smudged and corrupted with the dirt of the outside world. White also symbolises, of course, purity and innocence (two qualities Catholic schoolgirls are supposed to hold dear), and it is into this world of innocence that the ever-present red bus (a symbol of violation and penetration), conducted by the lecherous yet similarly juvenile Simon Ward, makes regular journeys. The allegory is further expanded in one scene where Agutter believes she sees the Christ figure in church weeping blood: by the time we acknowledge it, its gone, but the seed has already been planted. Rarely in a genre production has the use of colour and background been so important or effective in creating a uniformity of mood. I Start Counting is as near-perfect an end to a decade as one could hope for, and exactly the kind of film people should be making now- which is, of course, exactly why they never will. A genre essential. by D.R.
猜到了挺多地方，比较喜欢中间三分之一。优点是匠气十足精致平稳，缺点是有些逻辑上的问题不太经得起推敲，看了诸多回答仍不能被说服，理解为“电影仅展示一种可能”是唯一解决方案。
依旧延续了上一部杀气腾腾的架势，但是仍稍逊上一部一筹。人物刻画相较于上一部偏扁平化，配角们都沦为工具人，整体说是动作喜剧比较贴切；孙锡九的反派算是亮点，造型狠辣，演技加分，希望这个系列能继续打下去
反派的计划好傻…让同伴绕路，绕着绕着自己老巢被找到了…反派逼格感觉没上一部强。韩国也开始要当世界警察了吗？

精彩啊，这反转，也就电影敢这么拍，高潮迭起。老逼登会的多，这局做的，高手！
一个套娃的故事，小成本电影，室内戏为主，反转和表演都很精彩。
一部真正好的悬疑片剧本，就像阿加莎的剧本一样，反复给你念叨线索，让你有时间仔细琢磨；而一般的悬疑片，就会快速滑过高密度信息，来回翻转让你云里雾里，忘记一些脑洞太大导致的漏洞。本片显然属于后者，所以就图一乐吧。
不错的小空间电影，门廊、前厅、后室，故事就在三重空间里三重展开，主演的精湛演技撑起了整个电影世界。
比第一部还要好，主要是孙锡久的反派太炸了，只可惜最后的对决有点潦草。喜剧元素融入得很自然，从头到尾的阿西吧。

想看的孙锡久就这么点内容，孙锡久的表演进入一种类型化
教科书级的复古小成本电影，杀人全靠嘴炮，一个场景干了两个小时，全靠演员撑着。
是西装暴徒就靠嘴杀人。1沉迷伦敦腔。2话剧小品。3无脑黑帮。4老子才是Outfit。however，老祖宗说君子不立危墙之下，老裁缝你看似运筹帷幄，实则步步险招：只要有一人不听你叨叨，有一人上来就放枪，有一人还想对峙一番，有一人给你来个虚与委蛇你就交代了。
仿佛看了一场话剧，谁能想到普通的老裁缝其实是个“扫地僧'呢。整部电影如同片名和全程的独白一样，适当的剪裁，细密的针线，把零散的线索缝制成套装。马克·里朗斯的演技于细微处见波澜，最后的动作戏再多发挥一些就好了。果然干裁缝的都是狠人
整部片子的場景都在裁縫鋪之中，無需槍林彈雨，也無需豪華特效，僅僅憑借人物間對話露出的豐富信息，便足以讓人膽戰心驚。電影質感更突出一種老電影獨有的味道，昏黃的光線，細節到位的服化道，都猶如一杯咖啡回味無窮。電影將一個人畜無害的老紳士外殼，套在了一個歸隱從良的黑幫屠夫身上，更借由“套裝”，將幾大黑幫之間的明爭暗鬥全部收納在一裁縫鋪中。導演在講述的不僅是一個剪裁匠退隱江湖、等待復仇的故事，更是將這種技術完美的融合進電影之中，測量、剪裁、熨燙，正是劇情節奏的把持，謊言真相的契合。
爽到我了！小成本封闭空间戏，几次反转都极其合理，情节走向贴近期待视野，但马克·里朗斯的影帝级表演着实超出预期。相比于黑帮电影更偏向悬疑，在紧张感爆棚的同时还不失英国人式优雅矜持的气质，精彩。
孙锡久 Sukku Son很适合演这种角色，眼神就很坏，杀人不眨眼，是个狠人。马东锡 Don Lee是不是又胖了，上肢力量无敌，一拳击飞。韩国人拍近身肉搏戏拳拳到肉，力量感很真实。抓连环杀人犯需要理由吗，上去就是干。偷渡，绑架，杀人。暴力执法？
一般吧，就还是太没什么悬念了，更像个舞台剧
明显看到人口五千万的韩国在嘲讽人口一亿的越南。故事有明显的逻辑硬伤，别看打了半天，几个人主角光环太多，配角一圈到，主角砍半天砍不到。干脆直接被设定搞得冷兵器时代算了，动作设计也有很多缺陷，跆拳道？算了，也就这样了
