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.
好久没有看到这么节奏紧凑的剧情片了，开头短短几分钟交代故事背景，剪辑衔接得也十分自然流畅，还不时穿插一些小幽默。
历史总是会自动重演。但有些时候，没有目击者。
历史总是不停重演，抗议是个说不清的复杂话题
respect for 69.
两个多月没有看电影，享受每一分钟。跳出电影的话，对选举的热爱有点迷信了？

工整，利落，好看！雏菊和鲜血背后的爱与勇气。亟须永志莫忘
“我从未因思想受过审判。”在乌云蔽日的世间里只有勇气和信仰能带你走下去，愿今天的美国人依然未忘记开国之父们的初心。
最后一幕我整个人大哭，每一个人都值得被纪念。反抗无罪。
最后的庭审群像仿佛油画
索金比《白宫风云》和《新闻编辑室》表现得更左更偏激，半个月后川普是否还能连任。
感受到索金大神找到了自己的节奏，输出爆炸却张弛有度，内容多到这个地步却没有落入冗杂。撕开黑夜的人在结尾都渐渐露出了另一个自己，Tom的强硬、Abbie的肃然、David的挥拳、Schultz的敬意，只有傲慢与固执从一而终，永不变形。2020看起来很适合这部电影，50年后世界，侮辱与损害还在，壁垒与龌龊还在，硝烟与热血也还在。
小小的法庭，完整描绘了整个社会的撕裂感，老法官代表了极其迂腐傲慢的美国官僚制度，年轻一辈繁多的面孔都让人振奋不已。
索金的剧本和剪辑依然出色，密集的信息量依然带来了等量的爽感，外加这样的全明星卡司拍法庭戏真的好奢侈。最后有点《辩护人》那味儿了。敬佩这样的一群斗士们。
美国的一些总统，一些议员，一些法官可能并非善茬，美国政府制定的外交政策也常常不符灯塔之名。但美国的宪政，民主，法治将会万古长青，美国的建国理念和国体原则将永垂不朽
不得不说，艾伦索金的剧本功力太了得了，美国人拍这种题材也是出神入化。 整个电影张力十足，最后的结案陈词差点看哭。为什么一直用理想对抗不公，为什么一直没有放弃，因为全世界再看！
一种非常当下的东西，剧作极佳，导演工作平庸
相當精彩的劇本和調度,角色設計立體演員也非常出色,由頭至尾相當緊湊,當中不乏很多精彩對白和對於社會上的批判,在此段時間播出,無論在美國或者是對此相當熟悉的香港,真是別有一番體會,Give me a moment, would you, friend? I've never been on trail for my thoughts before
挺振奋人心的，民权🙂虽然朋友看到一半无聊的开始玩手机，但是我好喜欢这类电影啊！
讲真，小兰是不是被PUA了，新一这种动不动就玩消失的臭男人怎么这么容易原谅的！墨迹死啦！本柯南死忠粉从小学追到现在都特么奔三了他俩居然才亲上，救命好吧！而且这集真的推理是什么鬼？拿注射器喷到天花板上这种鬼点子我用脚趾头都想不出来……而且不会溅到自己身上吗？注射器又跑哪去了！fine！我知道不重要……anyway，即便如此，已经比近几年的剧场版都要好看了……
