Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
电影虽然反转很多，但后面大部分都是靠新的线索推动剧情，而不是前面埋下的伏笔。
三星半。非线性结构的悬疑片。范伟演技没得说。窦骁算是个惊喜。
人人都有动机，但又好像所有人的动机都不是那么充分。
励志 认定自己与别人不同就不同…没什么要过自己那一关
真正高明的悬疑片，是你看到最后突然发现前面全是铺垫，而不是你之所以没猜到结局，是因为前面没有任何铺垫。
最重要的是设置太简单了
和《疯狂的石头》《疯狂的赛车》有相似的地方，尤其爆炸场面，《疯狂的赛车》中有相似的。
感觉没有那个集成线索真相大白之后的类型爽感 但是怎么说 仿佛一切又都符合逻辑 制作上能看到一些优点 总之 不是很喜欢
丧偶式育儿，爸爸除了在关键部分出现过几次外再无镜头。永远不要因为一个孩子而决定去生另一个孩子。做好孕检很重要。
人人都有动机，但又好像所有人的动机都不是那么充分。
老套的结构回溯一个俗烂的罪案故事，男主浮夸的演技也无法与几位出彩的配角相抗衡
一个非常普通的故事，被编导讲述得花里胡哨的，一点也不闷。可是经不起回味咀嚼，而且这片一定程度上挑衅了观众，反转太多是有风险的，能力不足就会玩砸。这片口碑两极化就是这个原因
一部演员演技和剧情都在线的电影。剧情充满了黑色幽默，最先想到的的是宁浩的疯狂系列，最近一部类似的是《人潮汹涌》，各种闪回反转。
残疾运动员确实在大众的眼中是一个盲角，对于提升残障人士的生活品质方面，我国确实还有很大进步空间。
要看粤语版。
情节之处有两个大的硬伤，一个是在于警察的突然倒地和结尾的突然复活，是极其不合理的，更何况既然这个为了追捕拐卖自己孩子的张颂文身份是个离职警察，他为什么不首先报警而是独自一个人行动呢？第二个点在于开场的警察已经自己一定知道那把枪是假枪，为什么还要去和小偷争夺这把枪呢？还有诸如此类的小bug就不列举了。开头的视听语言是不错的，第一幕的代入感很强，第二幕的剧情展开稍有点拖沓，没有那种一环扣一环的感觉，第三幕的拐卖儿童交易戏是最大的悬念，看起来反而是有点黑色幽默的味道在里面。外卖员的人物塑造最后的反转虽然看起来意料之中但其实是不太合理的。再者那种冰箱冷却液引起的爆炸、外卖员偶遇自己的亲戚、范伟的儿子排肾反转都是有点过于偶然以至于看起来不合理。如果对类似悬疑类型片更看重氛围感的话，这片子是值得一看的。
几乎每十分钟一个反转，不过都是在补充新的剧情，而不是基于现有伏笔的解密，导致观看的时候少了些“原来如此”的快感。换句话说，电影之所以有些可看性，完全是因为这个故事是倒过来讲的。如果按时间顺序讲，就真的没什么可看的了。
老套的结构回溯一个俗烂的罪案故事，男主浮夸的演技也无法与几位出彩的配角相抗衡
反转太多就没意思了，中后期有好几个反转没有必要（尤其是干姐夫那个），最后的伟光正不是不能拍，而是插入的略显生硬。除了范伟张颂文两个戏骨，最后结尾的bgm不错。
可以看出来导演对这部电影的掌控是在失控边缘徘徊的，剧本并不出奇，而且导演还把这个本不出奇的故事讲的拖拖拉拉的。
