This early 70's giallo by Umberto Lenzi is certainly among the best in his filmography and also in the whole genre. Personally I think Lenzi's best films are the funny cartoon-turned-film Kriminal, the stylish giallo Seven Blood-Stained Orchids, the explosive Napoli violenta and this. In the eighties he did plenty of film trash in form of Eaten Alive, Hitcher in the Dark or Black Demons, all of which are ripping something off and/or very dull and slow moving. Knife of Ice came when the giallo boom was at its hottest and the result is convincing.
Technically the film is superb, containing great cinematography in the beginning when we learn about the main character's trauma towards trains. From this point on, Lenzi shows us his ability to benefit the widescreen and, for example, the bicycle ride near the forest is genuinely beautiful! This scene also shows Lenzi's ability to build suspense, very slowly but meaningfully. After all, there aren't so many murders in the whole film, only the suspense circulating around the murderer's identity.
One suspect is a devil worshipper which brings new aspects to the mystery. Since the final scene takes place in a church, one can wonder if Lenzi wanted to comment on something, maybe the hypocritical morale of church and superstition. The main character (Carrol Baker) is mute which demands a lot from her face and eyes. The actress works very well, giving us a believable performance circulating around the emotions of fear and mental pain. The other actors are good, too. The finally, however, may not give too positive a sight about female sex since they all are expressed rather negatively in the film, one way or another. Still this is easily among the most noteworthy in the genre, not as bloody as the Argento films, for example, but equally suspenseful and visually also interesting.
牛逼闪闪，热血沸腾，对白宛如加特林机关枪。
艾伦索金的台词像子弹，字字句句冲击到脑门。政局的荒唐、司法的不公正、流血冲突到底为了什么……一遍遍质问。当最终海登念出4572个牺牲在越战泥坑的士兵名字时，答案揭晓：就是为了最初的正义，反对战争，一切政治手段不该到良心面前扯浑水。

不给此片打5星好像不够pc，但标准得如同教科书的好莱坞优等生拿奖片……是试图唤醒21世纪观众对60年代的回忆吗，还是对逝去时代的无声悼念。确实导演给了左翼分子们绝对优势的展示，但说不出为什么，还是觉得并没有预示着更好的明天。可能因为我就活在这个明天中吧
起承转合都很标准的电影，这代美国左派缺少了锐意进取的反思，更多的是对反抗的歌颂
三星半。总体而言群戏还是不算出彩，几乎好的段落，是有意的凸出了个体，众人之间没有再形成一个好看的整体性的东西，当然这个整体也只是为了这个事件服务，庭审戏除了对白的来回之外，大多戏点都在藐视，这就是一种韩影式的处理方式了，反而那些游行，甚至接电话的女孩的戏被对比得更好看。这部电影对比艾伦索金之前的作品失去了一种精致机巧的美，原因是背后的这桩暴乱事件，也因为此事此事写就了全片最后的高潮戏。
NetFlixe再一次交出一張工整優越的成績單。
好久没有看到剧本这么好的纪实电影了，简直为之一振！尽管我政治倾向保守并且像Cartman一样反感嬉皮士运动，但丝毫不影响我被这部片子打动。当鸡蛋义无反顾地撞上高墙，当"blood flow all over the city"，愿你的自由高呼，全世界都听得见。
真正艰难的不在于与谁抗争，而是坦然呈现自己。交叉剪辑叙事，人物也不少，略凌乱。即便大家都知道在推的圆石会滑落，至少别让它变得太大太重，否则推不动会被压死。
Take nothing for granted.
恭喜网飞拍出了一部美国版《辩护人》。我被感动，不是某种价值观又或者某种壮举，只是因为自己的懦弱。

艾伦索金越来越左了？No. that’s not true.是这个世界正在变得越来越麻木、自私和不仁。

比预期好看，庭审戏能显出索金的优势，整体比较工整，但题材如此也难有花样，剪辑还挺犀利，Sacha最佳。整个审判就是一场political show，被告是chosen ones，不同群体可以在相同的外部压迫下站在一起。再看看当下，希望不灭吧，the whole world is watching
给6星。今年白宫暴动又上演了。1.在麦卡锡出现前黑豹党没有被肃清时，也是难得一见的想要copy我们国家红色政权的革命组织。2.爆炸头其实非常聪明。3.居然看到了金斯伯格出境。青春期最喜欢他的诗《howl》了。4.美利坚想要缓和资本集团利益和无产阶级的矛盾，就对外发动战争，把无产阶级搞到前线去牺牲，然后抢夺来的利益部分分配给无产阶级以缓和阶级冲突遭到了强烈反抗。5.以列侬为反战斗士被枪杀落幕的时代。垮掉的一代。6.穷命贵。7.在西方的海洋强盗文化里永远找不到答案，在东方文化里有了回答。

劇本及剪接強大，編導功力也比前作《莫莉遊戲》好得多。
公知笔下的灯塔国🇺🇸可真是老police state了，民主沦为政治工具since forever。
