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.
01:21:22是个尿点，在尿点之前其实都很不错，最高级的食材往往只需要最简单的烹饪方式，俗套的团伙劫案犯罪也是为了衬托这个锁匠和保险箱谜题，节奏很利索，很好入门，后半截却急转直下，在解谜之外注水狗血剧情，从神偷军团变成了我和我的神偷女友，重心偏移不看也罢。
我说女主咋这么美呢 就是权游里面那个美好肉体
6.8 除了第二部分稍稍有点意思外，其他的都过于平淡，整个偷盗开锁过程那可谓是既不惊险也不刺激…
Interpol只监控踩点却不提前了解保险箱位置，不同情自己却同情被同伙抛弃的男主，听到“录音”就信以为真，降智得太不合理！之后三人行动更扯，完全感受不到这三案递进的难度。
这部电影票房要是还行，活死人里他在金库里就不会死（狗头）
《活死人军团》是一部纯粹的丧尸片，可这部前传的主线可以说是跟丧尸一点关系都没有，像这种情况在系列电影中还是比较少见，大多数成系列的电影都会选择在自己的舒适区向外拓展，譬如恐怖拓悬疑、推理拓动作，但是像这部这种，扎克·施耐德拍了一部标准的美式丧尸片，马提亚斯·施维赫夫却拍了一部犯罪片，让人意想不到。
作为前传型小故事，已经足够了，独立电影就小家子气了，哈哈😃
作为纯粹的商业爽片明显比《活死人军团》有趣多了。但是作为智商犯罪类型片干货不足，噱头倒是挺唬人的，三个保险箱只为了六袋子钱，毫无爽度。无论偷窃、开锁、黑客、车技都是乱吹一通然后点到即止。
我不知道拍摄地在哪，但是好好看！
电影名字描述有点不太准确，既没有辣妹也没有刺客，倒是有两个高中生萌妹子真寻和千里。两人的人设是高段位杀手，杀人肢解就跟吃饭喝水一样随便，却偏偏真寻有社交障碍，千里像是有狂躁症，两人生活自理能力都成问题，也经常处于失控状态，这样的杀手组合也是挺新鲜的
败笔是前两次的开锁前都太偏于喜剧化了，这时候的氛围应该严肃、紧张，而不是耍宝。
还行呢。。。
剧情荒谬但无趣，搭配上好多固定机位的无聊长镜头，看得我直打瞌睡。都说长发妹子可爱，我反而觉得黄发妹子不错，因为本身就是特技演员，全程本人上阵，动作相当利落。
应该叫开锁匠(上)，另一部活死人军团叫开锁匠(下)。
画面不错，这个年代了拍这种组团偷盗的还这么多问题，也真是勉强三星了。
开保险柜开要洗手，放歌剧，并且激动的叨念着保险柜的绰号与歌剧剧情的关系，感觉像是日漫。
这种电影应该是有趣味性的，没有趣味性那肯定就是垃圾电影了
这伙盗贼开保险箱跟闹着玩一样，闹矛盾也跟小孩子过家家一样，你打我一下我不跟你玩了，，真可笑，到最后还以为Nobody先生要觉醒了，不当平凡人了要创造丰功伟绩了，结果就结束了，，？！
他如保险柜制造者一样，都娶了保险柜。
还行吧，打三星。前面一直套路，唯独结尾没想到没套路。小感动了一下。懂你的人才会惺惺相惜，灵魂相见。看完忍不住又想把《活死人军团》最后开地下金库“诸神的黄昏〞保险箱那段再看一遍了。这德国小哥到美国发展，能导又能演，前途无量啊。
