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.
P.P.S. 小女孩的每一个场景都在无限出戏 真的不考虑下猫猫狗狗什么的嘛🐶
在漫威宇宙的成功或许让大家拔高了对罗素兄弟的期待，离开漫威后他们执导的几部电影口碑都塌了，本片似乎也只是在复制去年《红色通缉令》的模式化套路，尽管影片秉承着三分一小炸，五分一大炸的节奏，全程让影片处于高速运转之中，但回顾全片是否有一个让你记忆深刻的场面？我想我们要的不仅仅是这些。
最有意思的一段是吹散蒲公英后边的那部分，任何人都能闯入女主私人领地这个设定。
除了场景略浮夸之外，还是挺不错的嘛。Chris Evans很亮眼啊
（7.5/10）最明显的解读还是女性的困境。将女主那段夫妻关系化为一段恐怖的超自然经历再度呈现。咱的军情六处小特工分饰五角可以看作分别代表了男权社会对女性在生物的原始暴力/裸男、社会权力秩序/cop、信仰/神父、教育/儿童、经济/房东等方面的压迫，当然各个代表的准确含义还需商榷。需要注意开头女主在园子里吃了颗果子，伊甸园不一定是天堂，也可能是女性的地狱。另一个明显的意向是尾段男性的连续生产，也是值得留名的名场面。女主面对男权的态度演变也很有意思，从惊恐而寻求权力庇护到坚守再到反抗再到逃离再到平静回归最终到达坐在同一张沙发上谈判，当然是手握战斧在谈判。很多女性题材的终点是战斗，但仍局限于现有秩序的战斗。这部看起来力图超越战斗，瓦解秩序，进而平等地缔造新秩序。
See? They're all the same.
PS
又是中情局高层出卖自己特工，过河拆桥杀人灭口的戏码？美队的小胡子不错！
隧道回声，男体生育，女人心中的呐喊，男人噩梦般的纠缠，两者都如同被按下无限循环一般在周而复始。后面的恐怖感很高级，到底是A24看中的片子。
Super hero 想变super villain ，于是罗素兄弟给美队安排了一整个九头蛇。高司令业务能力强到堪比超人，暴力安娜可太美了。打戏争取每场打出花样，可就是很无聊
从头到尾的cliché. 哒哒哒哒沙沙沙沙，这么好的卡司，全部浪费。你哪怕显示一点点暴力美学呢？完全没有。
大陆的动作明星断代了啊，有那时间都用来上综艺去了
美丽的自然风光，契合的音乐，最关键的是淡定的女主，无需尖叫留着力气分析情况找武器自保反击才是正途。
没有遗憾的遗憾，只能说对本片自始至终没有报太高的期待。那些所谓“俗套”看着亲切就好，从路人的角度来看都还行，这就挺好。
虽然剧情老套得要死，但有高司令暴打美队倒也不算难看，Ana妹子美死了
内容上看得出：
虽然豆瓣里面一群装逼犯说模仿007和谍影重重的，但是这确实是这两年比较亮眼诚意满满的动作片了，无论是喜欢美队，高司令还是无暇赴死里面的古巴妹，里面都有亮眼的表现。有老牌（老套）动作片的味道，值得四星。
不错的爆米花电影，高司令还是很有型的。美队的形象和演技有点拉胯。
OMG…OM EYES… O Fxxk…怪不得改了译名… 真妙！
两男配一女，<红色通缉令>同款配方，用2亿刀预算堆砌烧出多场动作戏，布拉格街头飞车枪战最佳（据说花掉4000万），但文戏都是过场式，弱智程度可以说和CE演的角色半斤八两，纯到不能再纯粹的爆米花，打发时间爽一爽可以。之前网飞计划把电影打造成007式的系列，不过以他们目前的情况和影片口碑，以后还会不会轻易投资这种规模的制作，比较难说了。（罗素兄弟俩采访时也承认，之所以拍<灰影人>，是为了能把<瞬息全宇宙>拍出来）
