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.
上半段的铺垫够扎实，也不沉闷，人物的出场，剧情的发展设计的都很好。下半段就太赶工了，光情绪宣泄了，不顾剧情了。犯罪分子的盛衰转变细节不够，赶快打，赶快结束高潮，赶快进入大团圆伟光正的结局，急躁泄力。哪怕多10分钟的预算，再打磨下剧本，完成度会更好。不知有没有续集。
和我童年回忆差得挺大的……主要的是这个polo怎么是个emo暴力狂？？？波兰绅士去哪里了？所有的角色都好片面好拉垮。
导演把波洛演绎得太自恋了，已经戏多到令人反感的地步。一审问就用环轨，加很多内心戏，不喜欢。但是演员选的很到位，埃及风光很美，去电影院看不亏
没在2月14日上映真的可惜 特别的“感人肺腑”呢。（中心思想：别吃爱情是的苦。）
没看过原版，这一版感觉服化道很讲究，估计比原版讲究很多吧。但是这节奏确实太慢了，可以压缩到至少1小时40分钟的。波洛的爱情故事短暂，但开头就点明了电影主题：人为了爱是可以做任何事的。加朵演这样的角色总感觉有点儿格格不入，虽然她演的很好。波洛这个演员&导演真是让人频频出戏，虽然他演的也是很好，但是总让我想起信条里他演的那个心狠手辣的坏蛋。
也不能说有多烂，但确实很平庸，现在5,8分的构成，果然接近60%打出的都是中规中矩的三颗星。聚集一众演员，最后就是个名侦探柯南的剧场版，只能说这类经典推理题材，翻拍真不如编新的故事，出力不讨好。唯一惊艳的不是盖尔加朵，反而是饰演女二的艾玛·麦基，好像小丑女玛格特·罗比，总是出戏，以为下一秒就要为爱变身了。
不好看，3/4内容毫无意义，侦探推理过程完全没有，完全不知道剧本是怎么写成这样的。
神奇女侠、《傲骨之战》女主、《老友记》Emily的妈、锤哥、《性教育》女主……这么多优秀的、知名的演员，拍出来个这？男主你不说是侦探我还以为是咆哮帝呢😅
因为疫情无法出国拍摄，但特效也太廉价了点，卡司也弱，没有顶级大咖，两位女主平时看都是女神，可这片里怎么就没那么美了问号，服装化妆也极弱，这片本来是应该如一场T台大秀+大咖云集+异国风光的，结果搞成这样，LGBT的政治正确算是一次进步，但开场那段导演也太自恋了些，对比一下78版，哪哪都不行。看完这片，倒是勾起了再看82和78那两部的欲望，太太太经典了，建议有预算的女生直接照着这两部里面的裙子随便来一条就能亮瞎十条街
出乎意料之外，特别接地气，好看得很，我喜欢这样风格的警匪片，比怒火重案好。
绿幕感如此之重以至于没法好好看风景（？）为何要魔改……
看这导演的东方快车和尼罗河之前
没看过原著和前一版，觉得还挺精彩的。开头的波洛背景交代，对新人来说很友好，很容易代入波洛的人生。 埃及实在是太美了！！尤其是在紧张的，暗流涌动的氛围下又不自觉的被美景感染还是蛮好的。唯一的缺点是推理的部分不足。只感受到了波洛的想象力，没感受到严丝合缝的推理过程。
比想象中好点 一开始我以为是"it's always the husband”结果是“romeo and juliet” 正如艾米锤的career一样已经被打死了🚬推理略弱 片头的一战戏我觉得啃泥爵非常适合拍war film
很ok，低配东北黑社会版《导火线》，能打的老二老三，分别有一场封闭空间打斗戏，医院戏好于大巴戏。三十岁以后的谢苗，状态对了，配上合适的角色和硬派的动作设计，好评。
上次看谢苗的电影还是新少林五祖和赤子威龙，没想到现在已经都38岁了，还挺精神的，依稀可见小时候的模样，他是真会功夫吗？
垃圾导演，恶心死了，我真的是从电影开始一直骂导演骂到结束，剧情改编得超级垃圾，演员诠释也是糟糕，尤其是导演扮演的波洛，简直就是在侮辱原作，导演赶紧退出电影圈
这部电影真的不至于6分这么低。光是风景的拍摄，把它当成埃及旅游宣传片也是没有问题的。服化道也还不错。可能豆瓣上原著粉太多了，电影很难完美呈现小说里的细节。加朵的造型没有我想象的美，女二倒是吸引到我了。
推理和证据确实很牵强。开头一战的戏完全莫名其妙不知所云，我还以为放错片子，把《尼罗河上的惨案》放成了《1917》。大表哥长得像印度人，医生长得像中东人。
1.非原著党，所以也没有原著党的愤怒，甚至觉得IMAX版作为旅游宣传片还特别爽。
