The story appears simple on the surface, but is revealed, especially after multiple viewings, as more multi-layered and textured than Cassavetes at his best. Ostensibly it concerns a 14-year old Catholic girl, Wynne (Agutter) growing up in this post-modern wasteland, who develops a crush on her much older adoptive brother (Marshall)- a crush which perversely deepens and grows into infatuation once she starts to believe he is the local sex killer. This is in itself an idea that makes you sit up and jolt, but as the narrative develops, it continues not necessarily along a linear path but in several confusing and fascinating directions: the family's history, (detailed effectively in chilling flashback during an improvised seance) is a chequered one, and has suffered at least one major relocation and upheaval in the last ten years. At the crux, however, it's the depiction of socialal changes that make I Start Counting so fascinating and elevate its language far beyond the confines of the standard horror film. The major subtext- that teenage girls were maturing more quickly than before, and developing full sexual and romantic appetites (even if in thought rather than deed) but were not possessed of enough discretion to make the right choices- was a step forward for a genre in which its young females had previously been portrayed as bimbo victims (Cover Girl Killer and The Night Caller spring to mind), but not one that all viewers would necessarily agree with. But most striking of all, and possibly the most enduring image which the viewer will take away with them, is of the masterful symbolism with which director Greene invests every shot. Every inch of the Kinch family's world- their house, their walls, their TV, Agutters underwear, bedroom furniture and toys, Sutcliffe's clothes, Marshalls van, the local Catholic church, their town centre, their record shop) - is painted a bright, scintillating white- a white which, by inference, is slowly becoming smudged and corrupted with the dirt of the outside world. White also symbolises, of course, purity and innocence (two qualities Catholic schoolgirls are supposed to hold dear), and it is into this world of innocence that the ever-present red bus (a symbol of violation and penetration), conducted by the lecherous yet similarly juvenile Simon Ward, makes regular journeys. The allegory is further expanded in one scene where Agutter believes she sees the Christ figure in church weeping blood: by the time we acknowledge it, its gone, but the seed has already been planted. Rarely in a genre production has the use of colour and background been so important or effective in creating a uniformity of mood. I Start Counting is as near-perfect an end to a decade as one could hope for, and exactly the kind of film people should be making now- which is, of course, exactly why they never will. A genre essential. by D.R.
从头打到尾，真的比一般爽片的动作戏几倍还长，但是就是。。后期制作有问题吧。
韩孝周这个好好看，即使在剧中是这种造型，我觉得对影片故事质量要求不是很高的还是值得一看的。
也就最后一段还凑合，音乐和情节配合上了，然后能让我看下去的动力只有韩孝周。话说这位女神的颜值巅峰果然还是监视者们…当时盛世美颜，基本上就是把巅峰颜值的王冰冰和万茜融合一下就出来了…
就是说真的。。。好难看啊。。。两倍速都觉得太慢了
看不下去，为了两位男女主才看的，太聒噪的，演员们怕是拍完电影嗓子都哑了吧，剪辑混乱，经常有被剪片的感觉，主要是故事不好看，这是致命的。
断断续续看了两周才看完，原班人马全部换了，故事衔接不上。是挺搞笑，就是太闹哄哄了
前半部分剪辑太跳跃了，后半部分渐入佳境但是bug暴增。大场面都还不错但是逻辑死，感觉拍成爱情片更好看，是没看过的类型。感谢吴世勋贡献了美人神箭手的脸，从此小说主角都能动起来了、、这个love line 也很可爱🥺🥺最后合家欢还行 感觉属于朋友聚会无脑片
从头打到尾，人狠话不多，遇见一个捶一个，这么勇猛的公主太爱了！！！
动作戏再精彩一点就更好了，中世纪简陋版突袭，还是比较爽的
一开始其实还好，感觉动作逻辑都蛮真实，但到中后期就有点没法看了，你说你连拿剑都没力了还能打这么多壮汉？整个背景设定更是扯，从头到尾全是反派的兵，整个王国就两女的在蹦跶，这样的王国你抢它干嘛？
D記竟拍了套古代公主版「突擊死亡塔」。全片整體節奏爽快，不過動作場面稍失後勁，壓軸一段力度可以強一些。
之前的预告让我来看看布彻尔的，结果反派死于未注射5号化合物……
说真的如果说这片是为了推出迪士尼新设施 又或者是为了搞一个新的游戏ip而拍的 我是完全不会意外😂
爆米花电影，本以为纯喜剧没想到还有爱情，韩孝周又美又飒，爱了
和室友一起看的 三句不离吴世勋 看到一半我就去洗碗了
浪费韩孝周和姜河那的演员阵容。
没看下去。
纯纯的打戏很过瘾，但动作设计单一，看久了疲劳
看之前的预期有多低，看后就会有多意外，妥妥的惊喜之作，你以为这是个类迪士尼公主片，结果公主在城堡里打了个通关，用各类武器和日常用品杀了四十多个敌人，真是出乎意料的精彩
上一次看这么带感的电影还是《硬核亨利》。4星给直接。没有连篇累牍的文戏，上来就干，通篇流畅打斗。公主敏系定位，全程开挂，长镜头动作戏调皮又灵活快意，游戏感强，细节又足够R，真要说遗憾就是缺了个连续换装。要是《美少女特工队》、《花木兰》这么痛快，又岂会风评仆仆。
