Haunted by the memory of Walter Holderlin, a soldier he killed during World War I, French musician Paul Renard (Phillips Holmes) confesses to a priest (Frank Sheridan), who grants him absolution. Using the address on a letter he found on the dead man's body, Paul then travels to Germany to find his family.
As anti-French sentiment continues to permeate Germany, Dr. Holderlin (Lionel Barrymore) initially refuses to welcome Paul into his home, but changes his mind when his son's fiancée Elsa identifies him as the man who has been leaving flowers on Walter's grave. Rather than reveal the real connection between them, Paul tells the Holderlin family he was a friend of their son, who attended the same musical conservatory he did.
Although the hostile townspeople and local gossips disapprove, the Holderlins befriend Paul, who finds himself falling in love with Elsa (Nancy Carroll). When she shows Paul her former fiancé's bedroom, he becomes distraught and tells her the truth. She convinces him not to confess to Walter's parents, who have embraced him as their second son, and Paul agrees to forego easing his conscience and stays with his adopted family. Dr. Holderlin presents Walter's violin to Paul, who plays it while Elsa accompanies him on the piano.
The film's original title, The Man I Killed, was changed to The Fifth Commandment to avoid giving "wrong impressions in the minds of the public about the character of the story." It ultimately was released as Broken Lullaby.
第一次跳舞就能腻歪成那个样子，骑到人家脖子上！我震惊。人女友还在场呢，真开放啊跳艳舞。
在伪纪录片中突然出现配乐是一件很出戏的事情，个人感觉为了烘托气氛可以用背景噪声来代替，如《老无所依》里的火车的经过声和气流声，所以很喜欢the empty wake在这里非常巧妙了运用了外面的警报声和逐步逼近的飓风噪音。个人认为最差的是第三个（貌似还是最多人喜欢的😂），廉价的3d游戏视效实在有些无法忍受了，那位特警大哥子弹都停了你为啥还继续抖呢😂
在杜比全景声厅看了个风光片。居然想去埃及了。加朵入场好浮夸的演技。
真希望有高人能教教肯尼思·布拉纳怎么拍电影。
节奏有点问题，体现在内心戏太多和揭露真相时毫无过度，为了悬疑而营造的悬疑气氛太喧宾夺主，不如把故事娓娓道来比较好，服化道太过美式复古，没有了前两版的英式典雅，有些人设的变动是为了紧跟时代潮流和创新嘛，有点没必要。再说演员表演，尤其是被好友抢走未婚夫的演员和老版对比起来那种歇斯底里的愤怒和脆弱完全没有表现出来，太过平凡，以至于结局说她是罪犯甚至是她出谋划策都没有之前的强烈反差感，这版本的波罗太过自大和严肃，没了之前自带的萌，甚至比同演的东方快车谋杀案还要过分。另外实景拍摄更好看，剧本细节也不够严谨，所以还是老版更好。优点是贡献了几句关于婚姻爱情真相的金句，还有就是提示有钱女人远离男人。
还有波洛的感情线
居然是一部彻头彻尾的爱情电影。应该是第一部在中国大陆公映的有直观表现同性恋剧情的电影？不由想起当年《异形：契约》引进时删掉的法斯宾德亲吻法斯宾德的镜头（误，那俩其实是没有性别的仿生人虽然没过审）……
节奏过于拖拉，上流社会穷奢极欲纸醉金迷的风情画+BBC:走进非洲。黑白配+蕾丝边，政治觉悟满分。点22口径的手枪不能穿透两个人的身体，喷溅的血液应该是长条状的，而不是墙上的点状。感觉整条船的人都在教育波洛什么叫做“爱”:U know nothing Poirot! U TMD know nothing!
服装，布景都很拉垮，没啥时代氛围。以及，大概是为了新鲜感改了剧情，换了偷项链的人。还是喜欢贝蒂，老版阵容也更强大。
看原著前不要看！！！除了关键诡计基本都被魔改得毫无气质可言。Simon选角太失败了，好难看好脏，汗味突破屏幕了，完全不“孩子气”。演热烈的爱情跟演porn是两码事。GalGadot毫无新意，EmmaMackey小惊艳但戏份少。最后一幕原著是浪漫且决绝，电影是仓促而狼狈。少了原著那些细腻的情感表达和缜密的逻辑推理，只剩下埃及神秘瑰丽的视听影像：风筝在金字塔边缘飞舞，巨石自神庙轰然落下，尼罗河水悠悠向天边铺陈。
虽然一直在剪切但还是感觉节奏太慢了。那应该是叙事的问题了
例外布拉纳应该注意一件事情那就是他拍的是一部侦探片，不是历史电影。波洛最后对于真相的揭发缺乏铺垫，他是怎么意识到凶手是xx的?他是怎么看穿xx试图谋杀?都没有什么铺垫。
这机械风老铁们像不像生化危机8的海森伯格的机械工厂，那杀人机器就像单钻头行尸～
好难看啊，从头到尾love love love也不腻吗？太傻逼了……而且都加上种族同性议题，怎么还在两女追一丑男呢？令人不适。感觉都没东方快车谋杀案好
……咱就是说，这片子如果不带上阿婆的名头，大家能打几分？虽然阿婆每次都喜欢乱点鸳鸯谱，但不是这么点的啊！关键这次还改得棒打鸳鸯，我不能接受！波洛缺的是假期不是老伴儿啊！！！我也不懂为啥要专门解释波洛的胡子，人家就喜欢打理自己的胡子不行吗，非得弄个胡子前传，这样狄仁杰是不是也得解释一下为啥自己那么在意自己的胡子了？另，肯总为啥是actor/actress，他除了波洛还演谁了>_< 没看出来啊……
还可以吧，推理悬疑感没那么丝丝入扣，但是观赏感还是合格的。绿幕感有点强，不过整体美术服化道还是不错的。其实才疏学浅的我也没太懂为什么大家对Kenneth的风评这么差。加朵凹了一下埃及艳后Cleopatra造型有点突兀了，与那位演歌唱家的女演员曾经在话剧舞台上表演的Cleopatra相比那真是相形见绌（就怪不得看电影的时候觉得她那么眼熟呢）。
「Corinthians had it wrong on every point. Love isn't patient or kind. It envies and boasts and doesn't care who gets mowed down. It angers, it is irritable, it keeps record of every transgression against it, and good god, it fails. Sure as a face ages, love fails.」
没了胡子的波洛不是波洛！
没看过老的版本，反正现在也没啥好电影好看，仅供解渴吧
看之前已充分调低预期，所以结果是可以看但满足度不高。
