The story appears simple on the surface, but is revealed, especially after multiple viewings, as more multi-layered and textured than Cassavetes at his best. Ostensibly it concerns a 14-year old Catholic girl, Wynne (Agutter) growing up in this post-modern wasteland, who develops a crush on her much older adoptive brother (Marshall)- a crush which perversely deepens and grows into infatuation once she starts to believe he is the local sex killer. This is in itself an idea that makes you sit up and jolt, but as the narrative develops, it continues not necessarily along a linear path but in several confusing and fascinating directions: the family's history, (detailed effectively in chilling flashback during an improvised seance) is a chequered one, and has suffered at least one major relocation and upheaval in the last ten years. At the crux, however, it's the depiction of socialal changes that make I Start Counting so fascinating and elevate its language far beyond the confines of the standard horror film. The major subtext- that teenage girls were maturing more quickly than before, and developing full sexual and romantic appetites (even if in thought rather than deed) but were not possessed of enough discretion to make the right choices- was a step forward for a genre in which its young females had previously been portrayed as bimbo victims (Cover Girl Killer and The Night Caller spring to mind), but not one that all viewers would necessarily agree with. But most striking of all, and possibly the most enduring image which the viewer will take away with them, is of the masterful symbolism with which director Greene invests every shot. Every inch of the Kinch family's world- their house, their walls, their TV, Agutters underwear, bedroom furniture and toys, Sutcliffe's clothes, Marshalls van, the local Catholic church, their town centre, their record shop) - is painted a bright, scintillating white- a white which, by inference, is slowly becoming smudged and corrupted with the dirt of the outside world. White also symbolises, of course, purity and innocence (two qualities Catholic schoolgirls are supposed to hold dear), and it is into this world of innocence that the ever-present red bus (a symbol of violation and penetration), conducted by the lecherous yet similarly juvenile Simon Ward, makes regular journeys. The allegory is further expanded in one scene where Agutter believes she sees the Christ figure in church weeping blood: by the time we acknowledge it, its gone, but the seed has already been planted. Rarely in a genre production has the use of colour and background been so important or effective in creating a uniformity of mood. I Start Counting is as near-perfect an end to a decade as one could hope for, and exactly the kind of film people should be making now- which is, of course, exactly why they never will. A genre essential. by D.R.
艾米汉莫的演技使整个剧情非常具有迷惑性，简直无法辨别是他演得太差还是真的很可疑。😅
平平无奇且冗长的两个小时，最震惊我的是，女同性恋那段好像没有任何删改，台词翻译好像也没动。
（这一部影片是我抱着极高的期待值去看的，因为这一部影片是改编自阿加莎的同名小说） 但回到正题，我只能说这一部影片仅仅只是及格的。首先说优点影片服化道十分精美，完全符合我对华丽风的追求。影片中出现的蒂芙尼黄水晶项链真的很戳我心。影片会出其不意地制造惊吓点。（我真的有被吓到）但除了这些之外，这一部片其实就是典型的密闭空间杀人案，推理过程真的很烂，完全就靠嘴说的。所以这一部片如果有时间无聊的话可以看看，但不必抱有太大期望。
很难看，特别是我还看过78版的，难看加倍了
整体感觉偏无聊，主线故事和第4个故事都挺拉的，故事3一开始不吸引我但结尾人性的叩问有一丝触动。1、2俗套但氛围佳，就是2的鬼显灵有实体后恐怖感骤减，瞬间丧尸片既视感而没有那种毛毛的感觉了。
不说和1978年版比了，就是和肯尼思·布拉纳2017年《东方快车谋杀案》比都差了一截，缺少气氛，剧情散漫拖拉，尤其是开场黑白影像那一段，真心觉得画蛇添足。唯一值得称赞的是它的服化。
把破案片改成又臭又长的肥皂言情剧，还真有创意，糟蹋经典的创意。一星只给画面。2
一些情节也是很奇怪
一些情节也是很奇怪
开场十分钟先来一段一战，搞得我以为进错场，不知道自己看的是什么，看完之后我才发现，全片最好的部分居然是那十分钟。
还可以吧，推理悬疑感没那么丝丝入扣，但是观赏感还是合格的。绿幕感有点强，不过整体美术服化道还是不错的。其实才疏学浅的我也没太懂为什么大家对Kenneth的风评这么差。加朵凹了一下埃及艳后Cleopatra造型有点突兀了，与那位演歌唱家的女演员曾经在话剧舞台上表演的Cleopatra相比那真是相形见绌（就怪不得看电影的时候觉得她那么眼熟呢）。
书粉、阿婆粉、推理迷千万别去！这部电影就是垃圾，谁能想到波洛会说出“谁没吃过爱情的苦”这种台词，这种ooc程度简直跟老邓跟伏地魔谈恋爱差不多了。
需要重刷旧版洗洗眼睛。整个节奏都有问题，前面拖拖拉拉一个钟头才开始正文，解谜部分匆匆带过，那么可爱的波洛被塑造成怒气冲冲的大情种
盖尔加朵真的和taylor swift长得一模一样……平铺直叙，台词现代，质感奇怪，差点意思。
阿加莎·克里斯蒂和她的《尼罗河上的惨案》，在推理界的含金量不言而喻。我已经几乎忘了幼时读《尼罗河上的惨案》的细节，索性就当一次非原著党 重新跟着阿婆来一次埃及探险吧。据说，1933年她和女儿、丈夫沿着尼罗河旅行，成为了《尼罗河上的惨案》的灵感来源。看了一些原著党的评论，其实故事整体框架没变、杀人手法和细节也没变，但即便如此，也无法改变这是一部平庸的推理电影。看完之后并没有通快到要拍大腿的感觉、更没有对案件或人性揭露的惋惜遗憾，很平静地花了两个小时看完，然后轻呼了一口气：「It’s finished.」一艘行驶在尼罗河上的豪华游艇，原本承载着一趟充满亲友祝福的蜜月之旅，可未曾想却酿成了一场连环杀人案。船上的每个人看似都有杀人动机、但似乎又有巧妙的不在场证据。排除了所有的不可能，剩下的无论有多么荒谬 都是真相。
我觉得三星差不多 把埃及跟尼罗河拍的都极美 有好多对称的手法让电影看起来极有艺术感 只可惜改编有点拉跨 优点都被缺点掩盖了 我以后不会再看黑人和亚裔女主的电影了 审美无能
AMC DOLBY 3.5分，非原著书迷喜欢上世纪初这种调调的可以当犯罪悬疑片看，演员和服化道都十分用心，部分人可能会觉得画面不错。感觉是最近院线唯一能看的商业片。我不反感他对波洛进行新的演绎，对称强迫症和少量感情线都能接受，但最大的问题就像影片里黑豹妹妹对他的评价：自命不凡且冷酷。阿婆小说里的波洛也自视甚高，但他十分可爱且关心他人，心怀正义和大爱。Kenneth的演技很不错，但导演水平不怎么过关。给盖尔加朵强行加的片段十分尴尬，继而造成叙事头重脚轻，探案完全沦为陪衬。从我个人观点出发，看似华丽的画面实际上空洞廉价，至少在Dolby荧幕上表现不佳，导演审美或者CG和摄影都很有问题。
比起78年版剧情上的刻意还能忍的话，那这版人物太刻意了就不能忍了。省略吐槽，我是去看我头像的，小动作还是那么的俏皮。
为了盖尔加朵来 才发现这个电影的最大亮点也不过就是她 一开始以为走错片场了 故事比较平庸 在埃及的特效看出来预算是不太够 即使有侦探最终刮了胡子走出过往情伤的呼应 也还是觉得为爱付出一切这个点讲得太普通了
以前因为觉得加朵长得好看口音性感还算是个路人粉，现在全毁了，大屏幕（投影仪而已，都不是电影院）里看她演技是所有女性里最烂的，再加上各种浮夸的male gaze 特写，尴尬癌都犯了。肯尼斯自导自演的时候真的太差劲了，不知道加了什么滤镜，拍得他的眼睛特别蓝，一个破案的片你那么突出侦探的眼睛干啥啊……自恋狂，HP的Lockhart一定是本色出演才演得那么好。
