Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
设定很经济，过于经济导致后期拉垮，纸片人是撑不住感情戏的，就不必，一爽到底不好么。哪吒造型好评
又一部大女主杀手电影，同样亮点与槽点齐飞，亮点集中在动作设计方面，槽点集中在剧情和人物身上，当然最大的问题是女主过早的受伤和中毒这一设计，让后面女主的一系列的打戏设计都难以令人接受和信服。
杀手女主要金盆洗手，然后就跟别人随便一夜情，然后就中毒了还有一天活头。然后就跟黑道老大的侄女寻找老大。最后终于找到老大。其实就不是老大下毒的，当时那个佐藤就说不是了，观众也猜到了，但是女主当时开枪打死了佐藤都不给人家说的机会。实际上都是女主的师傅和老大的顾问在搞鬼，女主真是打不死的小强啊，最后跟老大合作，各自都报了仇。女主各种受伤还中了一枪中毒太深还有一小时的命居然还能把师傅干死了，虽然故事禁不起推敲但是当个血浆爆米花看看还不错
全程快节奏，快餐式网飞爽片，女主复仇遭到背叛继续复仇 剧情简单 枪战动作场面挺火爆 在东京拍摄在霓虹灯下还有种赛博朋克的风格
真的是很一般，简介上还说要做成「杀死比尔」的风格，搞笑呢，给比尔提鞋都不配！动作场面不算多但一味的追求暴力血腥，一点美感也没有，而且女主是金刚不坏之身么，知道只有一天时间存活，还全程打了鸡血，被中弹好几次依旧跟没事一样，这主角光环也太夸张了，真的不符合常理！还有剧情也是很随意，逻辑性不好，最后反派死的也太快了，还没到高潮的就仓促结尾了。总体来说，各方面都比较粗制滥造，比较差！
剧情老套，动作设计差，不够利索，反派不但弱智话多，还喜欢抓美女头发，就像一个初中小屁孩
网飞搞了好几部女版John Wick了吧？真的是比好莱坞还会投机。但几个女主角怎么打都感觉不够凌厉，拖泥带水的很，真是遗憾杨紫琼她们早生了二十年。这片子日本元素用得算地道的了，上来就是“バーニラ バニラ バーニラ”😂
热血黑帮杀手复仇……无脑动作片的基本元素都有了，配得上爆米花的价钱。
感觉是赛博朋克2077拿掉了所有的赛博元素。

多少平庸的电影都要靠杀人之前说话才能拍下去啊，得感谢发明这个桥段的人。武力好有武德才行，动歪脑筋的，一般都人菜瘾大，会像浅野忠信一样死得特别难看。
大女主爽剧。戴着眼镜叼着烟去解救小女孩复仇的时候简直吊炸天。
一般般吧
无脑爽片，复仇片拍来拍去都是那几个剧情套路，能做的也就是不断刷新暴力尺度。
怒火攻心式杀死比尔，但都没有那两部拍得好，中规中矩的爆米花式动作片
全片以一个几乎命定的悲剧为主基调，基本没有转折地一路下行，最终以至绝望，这片子大概不想做纯粹的爽片，只是全程debuff的主角，越打越弱的动作戏，实在不是讨喜的选择。
全程半死不活，打半天不如老头那三刀干脆拉轰
看看动作挺爽！看样子应该有续集！坚持下去，下次换个地儿，日本黑帮真是拍的够够的了！特别是今年上映的某部电影！
东京是个空壳子，这东京夜景跟洛杉矶长得一模一样，地标符号完全没有凸显（不是放些霓虹灯和二次元就日本了啊喂，真正的好的地标应用见金城武《不夜城》），只是一种光影效果的噱头。
展现女杀手内心柔软的部分太直白粗暴令人心生厌恶，完全不如囧威客来得含蓄有力量，看得很难受
