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.
几处反转很是惊喜，虐杀也十分给力，双方战力平均，你死我活。就是作为续集有点牵强
比上一部略微不足，但是还是惊呼编剧可以继续讲下去！老头开始变成好人了吧，弱势群体值得关注，发起狠来什么都不怕！结尾彩蛋貌似会继续拍吧！
续集冲突设定不错，可惜削弱了惊悚感，变成了纯动作片。
这与第一部差太多，完全不是一种东西。细节没有丝毫的缜密可言。但是影片做了一次人性的颠覆，小女主的价值取向瞬间改变。她杀了父母！
完全没有第一部让人屏息的感觉，变成套路硬汉动作片，想模仿但动作设计又不如约翰维克，最好的是部分场景视觉效果设计，以及盲人依靠环境作战的细节。与第一部视角不同，更让人同情这个老人，代入更自然了
救命超出预期！完全没有第一部蠢货主角团的降智表演，而是设定为黑吃黑，当然作为其中一方的老头已经洗心革面重新做人了，彪悍的狗子依然是他的好伙伴！蓝色波纹和红色烟雾那两场戏我看了三遍，确实如开挂般帅，有一种杀意若隐若现，视力正常的人绝对看不到，说的就是老头吧！最开始女儿巧妙躲藏的时候我还以为她有点东西，会成为得力助攻，虽然最后砍手和补刀开了点火力，但整体还是差点气势，也许不是一路人🚬第一部带来了新颖设定和密闭之斗，第二部从家宅走出来又何尝不是一种进步？关爱盲人，从欢迎他们踏足户外开始👍
老头在这一部实力浮动很大，也丧失了第一部的冷酷邪恶劲儿，洗白就更无语，而且洗白为啥要立马搞死，立不住的。后面闯毒贩老巢马马虎虎，最精彩的还是前面屋里捉迷藏。
没人觉得小孩子是个累赘呢？真尼玛话多的小孩
《屏住呼吸2》——这个瞎子不太冷，且致敬豆瓣消失已久的“父母皆祸害”小组。
【2022-013】韩国电影，女版大叔，过程个人觉着非常爽，单眼皮女主看起来很可爱，故事剧情流畅性非常高，只有部分地方不太合理，不过也可以理解，女生的过去应该多阐述一下，也许是为了不拖沓剧情，只有一句话带过，脱北者这个词，也许韩国人更能够理解，超赞的车戏，紧凑的打戏，血腥味十足，个人评分7.5分，这种题材的片，非常迎合我喜好，推荐一下。
反转真是没想到。捉迷藏的长镜头张力十足。狗情义的刻画很不错。其它部分执行得一般般。硬蹭了第一部的流量，剧情其实可以说毫不相关，以至于“盲”这个属性编剧已经懒得去圆，主人公的刻画直接是照着健全人的模式套。
看完这个电影，我真心觉得吴京说的太对了。一个美国瞎老头都能打一群人，吴京又不瞎为什么不能打
从猎杀者，到反抗的猎物，靠盲老汉的卖点，也到此为止了
这一点上狗子全场三观最正。
我认为第一部的亮点就在于老兵的那句：“There is no God.” 第二部的设定和故事整个就和这个设定脱离的太多，剧情从老兵说出：“God is fair”开始，就朝着狗尾续貂开始一路狂奔……
还真的比第一部好看诶，神秘… 不小心迟到30min不过还好不影响理解……不过系列就这样结束收尾了感觉还是有点令人遗憾……卧槽结局居然有彩蛋！！！
片尾有彩蛋。……续集来说，节奏很好，又是爽片，还有点血浆，足够好了。……想想老头也算很可怜了，海豹出身，瞎了，女儿被撞死了，肇事者有钱，赔偿了事，结果钱被小偷给偷走了，还差点打死他（首部）。捡了个女儿，养了8年，结果被毒贩团伙把孩子抢走，家也烧了，最后救了女孩，却也被打死了（也可能没死）。……被杀的女配角斯蒂芬妮阿西拉很好看。老头的扮演者依然是阿凡达的将军史蒂芬朗。
太过了。这男主哪里是个盲人，分明就是一只蝙蝠啊……
不及第一部给人的紧张感，最佳段落是水波感应，就有点普通。
故事比1复杂化，导演很喜欢反常理。盲人袭击敌人的方式倒有几分禅意。
