Walter Williams (Brian Donlevy) is a take-charge captain of industry who has worked his way up in a San Francisco steel company from a position as a sheet metal worker. He loves his wife Irene (Helen Walker) very much and they have planned a vacation drive together. Irene cancels at the last minute claiming a toothache, but asks that Walter drive her cousin Jim Torrance (Tony Barrett) as far as Illinois. Walter agrees and he and Jim take off together but later Jim knocks Walter unconscious and takes the car only to be hit himself by a truck and killed, his body burned beyond recognition. Walter comes to and suffering a concussion and deep confusion from feeling betrayed by Irene hides out in a small Midwest town until guilt and peer pressure force him to go back to San Francisco and tell his story to the Police. But by the time Walter returns to San Francisco a clever detective Lieutenant Quincy (Charles Coburn) has uncovered some facts about Irene and her cousin' Jim. The police have been holding Irene for the murder of her husband Walter but release her considering that Walter was hiding out because he had killed Jim. Along the way to uncovering the truth in Court Walter realizes some hard fact about what he holds valuable and the trust he has put in those around him.
受不了Bradley Cooper这个油嘴滑舌本油，前段clut马戏团的情节加一星
1.只有我觉得凯特和布莱德利之间一点性张力都没有吗 2.理解马戏团的个人趣味大展演，但是全片两个半小时确实用不着
看到kate和rooney又共演了就买了票去看，还以为能看到些基情，有些小遗憾。电影的话就感觉没什么意思。当能刚好又让我思考一下欧美那个年代所共有的马戏团回忆，还是蛮有趣的
玩弄人心的把戏终将被戳破
黑暗，致郁，主角的一切上升，都是用带血的利刃抢夺而来，最终必将走向毁灭。貌似原版更好，有时间看看原版。
影像考究且精致，但解构层面的表达不尽如人意。剥离了原版的内核，硬生生的灌注了吉尔莫德尔托罗的恶趣味作者风格。
前面有点拖沓，但是复古质感是真棒
前半段马戏团部分有让我想起小时候游乐园里看到过的畸形秀，长大后再也没有了。
第一个小时的剧情和后面太不相关以至于我总觉得像看了两部电影
中规中矩，整体上就是讲述了命运的循环（geak出现的第一眼，我就猜到这是未来的男主），剧作没什么太大新意，更像是一则有点过时的社会寓言——咱们做人还是得诚实，别搞偷摸抢骗，妹有好果汁吃。
然而反观其内容本身，又一定程度上为其概念化、系统化的主题结构所束缚，其体量本身不足以承载如此繁杂的人物象征，亦难以在兼顾其系统的同时维持戏剧现实的节奏，故而在一些段落（由以高潮戏为甚）的处理上略显琐碎，繁杂，反而缺失了力量。
I like how fate has bounded the characters together. The final act is gripping to watch. The shots in the film look beautiful, but Mr. del Toro has failed to impress me with his yet again thinnly written characters.
只想特别说鲁妮玛拉真的很美。
快进看完的。男主一开始就有原罪啊，活活冻死了自己的父亲，然后放火烧了房子。请问动机是什么？就是为了说明这个男子天生是坏蛋吗？但他在马戏团的表现有好像温文尔雅，不像是个能杀父亲的人啊！！！还谈了一段浪漫的恋爱。然后画风突转，马上变坏了。原来重头戏在后面。但前面已经放了一个小时了！！铺垫太长！后面事情败露后，女律师栽赃的戏份，太过于明显了。那样直接在办公室暴露自己，只怕是会死得更快！男子前面聪明的不行，后面居然如此糊涂。。
前半段马戏团部分有让我想起小时候游乐园里看到过的畸形秀，长大后再也没有了。
剧本本身很硬，所以故事线看着很吸引人。几大主演的表演发挥正常，所以整体片中很具观赏性。
没看过原版，但Cooper和大魔王对手戏有点东西，所以后半段i住。前半段马戏团的剧情太长了，废戏挺多，删个半小时就好了
陀螺你奥特啦！但你还是魔法小王子。（原来是翻拍片为啥要翻拍上个时代的黑色电影？？）
前半部分太长了 结尾渐入佳境 陀螺还是nb的 copper真的不错
I thought this was going to be Guillermo del toro's The Prestige but no
