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.

翻拍得不行能不能起码找几个比原作漂亮的演员……
冷静下来看待自然是很难令人满意，哪怕不提谢幕之作的噱头，以平常系列新作来说大部分时候也相当的乏味和普通——福永在片场敷衍了事的传闻似乎不再是谜。但作为自幼的007死忠，真的无法不为克雷格喝彩，在他之前最爱的康纳利，以及拉赞贝、摩尔、道尔顿、布鲁斯南，五人皆在扮演同一个“邦德”，一个近乎神一般无所不能的存在，而克雷格的“邦德”，明显是另一个人，一个只属于他自己的“邦德”。十几年来他失去了同僚、身份、真爱、家人，不再是不死之身的铁金刚，于一次次伤痕中逐渐成为一个鲜活的人，而当寻回这一切时，“我从未离开”的他也只得告别。这十年的好莱坞，终于不再迷信英雄不灭，杰克曼、唐尼、克雷格，我们不再好奇下一位继任者，或相互比较历代的不同，因为他们被永远定格在这独一无二的时刻，哪怕一路坎坷，也足以被铭记和致意。
温情搞笑，结尾不是情侣挺好、脱离了俗套。简单的片子看着不用动脑筋又乐呵，多来点
实在无聊，片荒的可以看一下，挺轻松的，但是不搞笑
时间不会死去，邦德终将归来。
2022年看的第19部电影《替身演员》：现在的主流zz正确是去批判“躺平”、“佛系”、“安于现状”的人群，似乎加入内卷才是版本正确，可生活真是如此？，男主一家的生活，是心存善良地努力生活，这样的生活，普通又美好，这样的生活，是向往的生活。——选角都很耐看，剧情推进有点无厘头，但是温馨而有趣，很温暖的一部电影。
我更喜欢旧版，旧版五星，这部四星。这部比旧版长了半个小时，人物更多，故事场景更多，台词也更多，但没给我留下太多印象。更喜欢旧版的演员，男人有趣女人超美，这版比较一般，也不是很喜剧。
对，不是你以为的替身。安东尼奥差点迷失在明星的光环中，坐在豪车使他能看到很多以前没注意到的小美好，甚至穿越后厨时，同乡的欢呼声好似在宣告一个种族的胜利！当大家都为男主感到幸运时，却发现救赎是双向的，不可靠的情人和充满温情打大家族，聪明人都知道选哪边。所以，凡人有凡人的烦恼，神有神的烦恼。女主老婆真是个贱B，分居着了新欢，发现老公勾搭上了明星，又开始吃醋要回来，知道真像又说还是离婚吧……
就是那种俗得要死，但很好看的替身电影。剧情老套的不行，看了开头就能猜到结局，白日梦一样的展开，但是女主太美了，配角也都很可爱，轻松无虐小甜文既视感，打发时间很好。
更怀念老一辈的007们，交棒时不用被无脑写死。
不好笑也不算精彩。只是偶尔需要这种童话故事一样好坏分明的故事。
很久没看过这么放松的电影了，搞笑妹夫是快乐源泉。
只有文森特受伤的世界达成了~
我管这种片子叫飞机电影和陈思诚看了买版权电影，男主属于墨西哥的黄政民，演技上的信念感特别强，调和了爽片剧情和女主角小妞电影演技，特别是几场多方人物身份冲突的群戏也处理得特别和谐，韩国爷爷的戏份是一个妙笔，让观众视角提高到了拉美文化中的多文化融合。
男主家庭，估计在当代慢慢也很少有这种大家族的氛围了，就当怀念；结局男主女主没有在一起，这一点不错，而是一种朋友的视角慢慢相识

过瘾的部分还是很过瘾，败笔是太长了，最后都看困了，而时长搞那么长剧情却还是很崩。令人叹息的是，007的最终也是老婆孩子热炕头——所以他宁愿去死？而不过是作为代号存在的007的接班人竟然是黑人女性，有必要这么正确吗。
这画面风格变化有点大适应不过来了…如果是只有古巴篇的小短片，我给五星😍
