A quick glimpse at the cast for this film would make any horror fan giddy with glee. The actual movie doesn't live up to those high expectations, but it's far from being all bad. Desi Arnaz Jr. (!) plays an author who makes a crazy $20,000 bet with his publisher that he could write a great novel in only 24 hours. To do so, the publisher gives him the keys to an old abandoned house where he won't be disturbed. Not true. Once he gets there he is interrupted by a multitude of guests including a family which consists of John Carradine, Sheila Keith, Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. They are gathered there in a twisted family reunion to release their brother from the room he's been imprisoned in for forty years. Even Christopher Lee drops by as Corrigan, the man who has just purchased the house. Soon, they realize that the caged brother is loose and out for revenge.
What a great plotline and what a dream cast! This movie should have been a hell of a lot better. It's hard to pinpoint the exact problems with the film, but I would venture to say that the lack of lighting was a major fault. Sure the house has no electricity but I think they took the title of the movie a little too literally. Scenes after scenes are barely visible and the actors' faces are undecipherable. Only the moments in the main dinning hall are well lit. Also, the great actors are given very little to do. Cushing gets a few chuckles as the scared brother but Price, Lee and especially Carradine are somewhat wasted here. Well, at least Price gets the best line of the film: `Please don't interrupt me while I am soliloquizing.' And on the plus side, the story has enough twists and turns throughout to keep one`s interest and the ending, while a bit of a cop-out, manages to surprise.
试图在谢霆锋这个人物的塑造上更厚重一些，可惜他的对照组甄子丹则完全是扁平脸谱化，加之大部分居然都是对个人的反省而少有对制度的诘问，导致文戏大规模坍塌。但后半个小时的动作戏又将本片挽回到另一个高度，不论是废弃教堂里面将近十分钟的打戏简直回光返照一样的精彩，尖沙咀闹市枪战更见导演对此类场面的掌控力，全实景的火爆大开大阖在如今的港片中实属难得。甄子丹的演技实在让人不抱任何希望，是怎么做到演了这么多年的戏一点进步都没有的？倒是谢霆锋，打戏也令人惊喜。3.5.
首先港式警匪片套路永远不会让你失望，然后因为疫情看了个包场，万达4D厅座位三个一联，自动识别有没有坐人，是啥效果呢？就是
港片经典套路 架不住就是好看且爽 谢大厨终于想起来他还是个演员 好变态好帅我竟然与反派共情了
总体还不错，香港现在一年能出一部这个质量的警匪片，那就心满意足了。不过看这部电影很容易让人想到《新警察故事》，只不过成龙换成了甄子丹，吴彦祖换成了谢霆锋。一看导演陈木胜，怪不得。
剧情多少有点无语了，除了剧情其他都还可以。甄子丹谢霆锋还是有一定的保证的。很传统的警察因为高层原因跳匪，昔日兄弟反目成仇，最后来一段势均力敌的打戏，尘埃落定之后警察姗姗来迟。群演很出戏，小孩子就算了，街头枪战，那些路人真的是…无了个大语…
动作场面还是很精彩的，小谢太帅了太帅了太帅了太帅了太帅了太帅了，别做厨子了回来演戏吧！！！
谢霆锋的镜头真的都挺好看的，只是这个反派人物的性格变化过程交待得太潦草。相比《拆弹专家2》，实在没有说服力。最后一场在施工教堂的动作戏令人印象深刻。整部戏的动作戏过多，个别片段看得有点儿累，也导致了文戏缺乏、逻辑不通。内地女影星又当花瓶老婆了。
奔着陈木胜导演给谢霆锋准备的打戏来看的，港味被甄子丹稀释了2333
有视频拍摄经验的都知道拍电影的不容易，拍动作片的难度很大的。
7/10分；标准港式警匪片，打戏诚意十足，但文戏一如既往简单，好在这种善恶分明的动作片图的就是肾上腺素飙升时那一阵爽快；作为陈木胜导演的遗作，充满兢兢业业的旧香港电影人的务实精神——话说有些导演你也不太关注但突然知晓讣告再回溯他的一生却发现那么多作品已然在你生命中留下了印迹；RIP.
除了匪帮的调性有点前后不一致（大概只能解释为身份暴露了干脆就放开玩儿），别的基本没啥毛病，整挺好。
謝霆鋒戲過了，甄子丹先生的表演依舊不敢恭維⋯反派設計到是覺得很過癮，就是主角太雙標了⋯這裝到天花板了，讓人反感。估計不是光環撐著早掛了吧⋯
剧情不咋地，这年头谁还会去银行抢现金啊，一麻袋能装多少？200万就46斤了，也就是谢霆锋帅
本来只是好看，但想想这之后再也没有陈木胜的作品了，就会觉得这部片子绝无仅有了。甄子丹打的还是漂亮，谢霆锋仿佛回到1998，很多让人兴奋的情节，这就够了。
谢霆锋演出了正常人的坚韧，血性这才是这种的人就像赵高一样而甄子丹更像是站在道德点上的易小川，没有经历别人的痛苦，又有什么资格说别人呢？
三颗星都给顶级帅哥老谢了，40岁还这么型还越来越能打。至于故事、人物、台词，非常可惜，一如既往的扁平、形式化，香港这类警匪片在故事和人物上这几年一直没有突破，甚至没有以前那么癫狂和浪漫了。
新瓶旧酒，打斗犀利，很多俯拍镜头特别有好感。3.6星
也就只有谢柠檬还能保持那股劲，虽明显有仿效joker的嫌疑。其他TVB的那帮老将们一个个泄了气，一口气上五楼都特别费劲。★★★/6.7
怒火，怒火，那是喷薄的戾气
能看粤语看粤语！能看IMAX看IMAX！听国语实在是太别扭了哇😢爱港片的朋友一定要去看！观感就是很爽，整体故事结构有点像拆弹专家2，套路就还是那个套路，中间有点tdk的影子（低配低配哈）但其实谢霆锋的反派角色塑造的并不饱满，教堂自杀的刻意升华也有点找补的意思。谢霆锋请你放弃你的厨房多拍点电影！太好看了！不过...他最后一幕个人镜头好像理发师...而且我不觉得他像是能单挑甄子丹的人...
