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.
是进入SAO第一层的内容，桐人和亚丝娜的相遇。味对了。
怒火重案 5星/100分 如果今年要让我选个国产片最佳，我选。怒火重案 ！太拳拳到肉了！看得我太紧张了！谢霆锋的反派演的太帅太霸气了！很有DC《小丑》小丑里的感觉，他没有人性，因为他心理完全变了！甄子丹则是一个老好人！影片有大量的动作戏，看的你喘不过气来，大量的血腥的场面，看的心惊胆战，一言以蔽之！这是给动作戏迷献出的一份情书！动作戏之密集让隔海相望好莱坞瑟瑟发抖
不错吧，让我们重新温习了刀剑神域的基础设定，而且是从女主的视角，建议看完之后可以重新看看刀剑第一集，加强学习
五年之后《无间道》的绝响，模糊也挑破了杀人放火和修桥补路的边界……
我靠我靠我靠！谢霆锋太帅了！太狠了！嘴角的疤有Joker的感觉，最后他们知道走不了吧，为啥还要背着一袋钱跑呢？最后的对打，我看到钢琴就在想，求求了求求了，别给我整一排音符出来！尼玛，果然有，我不管这是不是致敬，严重不搭，简直最大败笔。另外，受不了配音与画面脱离，为啥台词不能现场收音，港片都这样吗？
就是后面到第二层的情节和第一部有些不一样。如果记得没错，第一部桐人应该是在人群之外换的斗篷，同时和亚丝娜解除了组队（？）
是不是吹得太过了？这不就和现在的港片一个水准吗？是有多高的立意还是多深的功力？充其量多炸几次多开几枪。主演的“演技”很见仁见智，角色性格也有点立不住啊……就soso吧。ps，吕大猫还是那么帅！但是他一出场我就知道是来领盒饭的了！
港版就叫《怒火》，对陈木胜来说，是非常完美的谢幕之作了。（谢霆锋刑期四年，可以说相当港人笔法了……）
还行，在预料之内。但精彩和娱乐程度略不及序列之争。
动作戏结合实景，增添了写实主义的城市色彩。打斗之外，文戏也很扎实。现今的港产警匪片的警与匪不是非黑即白，而是让他们游走于是与非的边缘。甄子丹的警有很多丰富立体的内心博弈，可是风头却被谢霆锋的匪的复杂盖过了。陈木胜导演对霆锋是有心底那份爱的。
粤语版。IMAX国语版二刷，看的很爽，暑期档终于上了一盘硬菜，真的是我看过的近几年最棒的港产动作片，兄弟反目的主线下蕴含对警队体制的讽刺。但是与相同主题的拆弹专家2不同的是，陈木胜把落点还是放在了他擅长的兄弟情谊上，谢霆锋的反派塑造尤其突出，他的邪魅与疯狂让人难忘，而结尾他的那句台词，充满着一种银河映像式命运的无常，动作戏上陈木胜和甄子丹把看家本领都使上了，大到尖沙咀警匪对射加飞车爆炸，小到九龙城寨的追逐加枪战，给人酣畅淋漓的观感，而结尾甄子丹和谢霆锋的教堂对决，无论是双刀对警棍的兵器对决还是近身搏斗，力量感和疼痛感都给到了，谢霆锋的腿功真的看到了当年《男儿本色》里吴京的影子，总而言之，陈木胜导演在生命的最后尽头，仍然贡献了一场动作盛宴，向远在天国的他致敬。（9/10）
就动画版越走越远，我初心始终是喜欢sao的。但怎么说呢，除了情怀在那边，实际也没太多让我觉得很精彩的地方。桐姥爷出场让我激动了一下下之外也可以说没什么亮点。一开始的百合也…有点生硬。
香港警匪片现在老得已经像上个世纪的故事了，打个情怀分给时代的落幕吧
謝霆鋒chok到出汁，宇宙最強似乎有些疲態。感情分一定是有的。第一部在戲院看的benny導演的戲是《衝鋒隊怒火街頭》，學校後來包場看了《我是誰》，高中畢業那年和同學一起看了《雙雄》⋯⋯想起來，他的戲我幾乎都是在戲院看的；多年後來了香港，常常在bc看完戲在散場時撞到他，他總是單肩背個包笑笑口；最後一次的緣份，是拍短片時製片從他那借了warrant card和道具槍。看到片尾他的畫面出現時，不免觸動，想起了那些看他電影的日子。
怒从不公起，火向权贵烧。认输但不认命，复仇即是复生。港味十足，品质精良。谢霆锋时隔多年终于在银幕上再次闪耀，香港电影需要你出一份力，人生也没有几个黄金十年可以浪费，还是少做点菜吧。全片最大的遗憾是“反派”误杀可乐的动机不足，出狱后的某些行为也极端越界，疯癫过火的人设在一定程度上削弱了共情，与片名中特供的“重案”形成双保险，进一步坐实了恶人的形象。然而世界本就不是非黑即白，没有亲身经历过，谁都不知道自己会在灰色地带中走多远，凝视深渊过久，深渊将回以凝视，如此想来似也无伤大雅。若非陈木胜导演骤然离世，这部遗作的完成度或许会更高。在可预见的未来，港片必将日渐式微，这样的作品也越发难以得见，呜呼哀哉！
疯批美人我很喜欢，起初有点担心谢霆锋不会里面有感情戏吧，原来一出监狱就把未婚妻杀了哈哈哈哈。
世界向前走了，港片没有，作为港片影迷，看到这些预期之内的熟悉节奏，亲切感是有的，而看到一切都在预期之内，失望感也是有的。最要命的是，上次看拆弹专家2就感慨，为什么三十年过去，香港电影的主角还是刘德华刘青云谢君豪，那么今天也是，二十年了，依然是甄子丹谭耀文任达华吕良伟，希望他们活到老演到老，但也希望有些新的面孔吧！
7.0 / 和拆弹 2 有太多相似点，但也看得出陈木胜无意邱礼涛那种春秋笔法，同样「警队背信弃义，用完即弃」的故事，放在这部就是一个纠结于警队内部小恩怨乃至有点架空的故事。因此谢霆锋的「怒火」跟隔壁青蛇的「执念」一样就是个悬浮的口号，甄子丹的「怒火」更无从谈起。唯一值得玩味的是双雄的名字，「崇邦」（崇的是什么邦？）和「刚敖」（谐音港澳？）一出，你就能知道他们两人的身份绝不可能对调。好在，这部的动作戏确实是近几年最佳，拳拳到肉足够生猛，难民营和结尾教堂的打戏都可圈可点。以及，谢霆锋是少有演邪魅类反派而不显油腻的人，这部确实是他自七年前《救火英雄》后的回春之作了。
aso篇 这次真泪目
这次我挺匪徒，没有甄子丹这个搅屎棍的话，一切就完美了。一个复仇的故事，就是该快意恩仇，而所谓的正义感却连一句善意的谎言都不愿说。正如谢霆锋最后说当初我俩换个任务，是不是人生就此不同，甄子丹居然头也不回就往前走，好似说中了内心的黑暗。电影最后一幕完全致敬盗火线，但是枪战却是逊了一筹！特别诟病的地方是为了证明谢霆锋死的不冤，他说出狱就杀了未婚妻，真的没必要。
