This film is an extremely entertaining psychological thriller with Carrol Baker excellent as a rich American widow getting away from it all at a secluded Italian villa. Enter smart aleck down on his luck playboy, Lou Castel, who has some golddigging motives behind his slick hipster seduction techniques and has no qualms about how he gets what he wants. He encourages Baker's character's incipient alcoholism and dubious self-esteem, brings in his supposed 'sister' to help drag Baker even further into a maze of sick mind games, drug addiction and group sex, all culminating in a descent into near-madness and self-destructive depravity.
I won't give away anymore, suffice to say that the film delivers on its swinging sixties, Euro sleaze ambience and psychological suspense thriller credentials in spades. Director Umberto Lenzi's work has been, at best, uneven and he's churned out his share of crap. However, he made some quite good giallos and crime pictures in the sixties and seventies and this is one of them (other good films by Lenzi -- SPASMO, SEVEN BLOODSTAINED ORCHIDS, ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON, to name only a few).
Unfortunately this film is ofen confused with another okay but not-quite-as-good Lenzi film that was also released briefly here in America under the same PARANOIA title (but is more commonly known, especially on video, as A QUIET PLACE TO KILL).
生命中的矛盾无处不在，生命中的倔强难能可贵。编剧导演奉献了一个深刻的故事，Mark也奉献了精彩的演出，除了Mark的少部分情节和台词过于硬以及吉布森老爷的角色气质不对之外，整部戏故事走心，音乐用心，演员费心。评分可以更高。
这个故事转折太大，Mark看得出来想演好，甚至为此增肥，但还是不容易，除了敬业外，没有太多亮点
斯人已伏恩主怀，奇迹感人思悠悠。
没有太多的波折，能在这种情况下熬上2年多，已经是壮举。
前四十分钟控制的还是很好的，可惜全片两小时，太长了，后面八十分钟就差很多。
信仰的力量，特别是在面对困境时。两个男主演技很是出色。
真粉丝三原则：1）当偶像为了理想执意前行时要一路陪伴左右。2）当偶像出远门鲁莽不留纸条时一定要坚持己见，即使会让偶像难堪，毕竟妈妈说出门一定要留纸条。3）当偶像心理奔溃时一定要竭尽全力鼓励偶像重新振作。
月经片。马克演什么都是吊儿郎当的样子。220605//
从一个拳击手变成神父，从打击他人变成救赎他人；这是一个安稳的家庭故事。
还一段，是stu说给父亲祈祷，父亲追出去骂他。
还不错，欧美人的冒险精神值得学习。我们安逸太久了。
bitch和drama的程度，跟我性格很像。
结构安排不太好，剧情设计也欠妥，总感觉重心有点偏。

既然圣母给了他希望，他决心重新开始把主的荣光洒满余生之路，任何时候都要坚信自己可以重新开始，哪怕其他人充满了误解
为什么分这么低？开篇以为又是一部讲拳击的搏击片儿，慢慢慢慢在不知不觉中我被拖下了水，后面就泪目了，估计这就是神和美国人民信仰的力量吧……
Narrative is fluent and the performance of the two leading roles are good enough. Still the main issue is about the script. As a documentary movie, clearly it wasn’t realistic enough. When there’s a challenge comes to them, the audience wants to know the whole process of how they dealing with it in such a awful situation not a frame of days number.
好几次都差点睡着……这片子真是又臭又长难以忍受……而且前女友真是倒了血霉了……信仰不能让你肌肉不萎缩，但是可能可以拯救迟来的父爱。优点其实还是有的，男主体脂从20%到50%的体脂的化妆是令人信服的。
我知道这部没有那么好 但是我就想打五星 我就是爱看这种有千禧年元素的青春电影 是该和十几岁的自己和解啦 青春万岁 现在也很好
一开始的情景以为是倒叙，其实是故事前段没交代完全。
