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.
男主是为了剧情需要也好，为了逻辑靠谱也好，长成这样，实在是想扣分。别的都很好，女主太有戏了！
这就是钢铁侠的套路啊（再讲多就剧透了）。丹尼尔真是很适合这个角色，无法想象下一张脸是什么样
反派是诺博士的变奏。最后的结尾把我镇住了，但没有达到钢铁侠的煽情值。如去年上映，就和康纳利先生同生共死了。
No time to die，but time to love.
4.4 pretty good for its genre
导演编剧是用了心
剧情的衔接，丰富的情感，旧角色新演员，老对手新反派。既有对过往彻底地颠覆，暗中又隐
163分钟太长了。前面一个半小时还是享受，后面就是煎熬了。
007感情线的最大问题在于转化没有完成好，要破坏建立在他一以贯之的完美形象，赋予人性，就不要把感情写得像拖他后腿一样啊。又臭又长，连台词都不再连贯迷人，果然是日不落帝国太阳下山还不愿看落日的缩影吧。这么收尾真叫人遗憾。
难以想象我居然差点要给我最爱的Daniel Craig的007系列大结局打两星。我觉得除了很多错过的台词导致我没办法完全理解剧情发展的逻辑外，各种奇怪的感情戏码也是极大的减分项。如此精彩的《皇家赌场》居然一路下滑到现在这个地步。
更怀念老一辈的007们，交棒时不用被无脑写死。
迟到了两年，一个时代的谢幕，谢谢你，dc十五年邦德生涯落幕 we have all the time in the world 2021.10.29 in寰映影城零点首映
一部意外的好片。很俗套的剧情，却拿捏得很恰当，没有程式化，剧情也相当连贯，在轻松中又带着家庭的温情。
女主很一般啊，剧情倒是比较老套，细节到位。
这年头，一个有逻辑的编剧就像一个有层次的反派那样稀有，而《007：无暇赴死》显然两样都没有。拉米·马雷克浮夸到宛如不存在的演技，衬托得蕾老师睁不开又长含泪水的眼睛都仿佛有了神采。拉米再次用实力证明了：他就是没有最水、只有更水的奥斯卡头号水帝！！！！！！
这个剧本真是太庸俗了，制造绝情散的反派棒打鸳鸯感觉是武侠片里的剧情。美女都是走马灯工具人，古巴大美女打完就消失了？风景也乏善可陈，挪威那么美拍出来就这? 唯一的亮点是终于给Q摆正了取向，茶具加蒸笼深得我心。
点映，私心加分。丹尼尔版本007系列的传奇落幕，他所诠释的邦德毫无疑问的历史最佳！其角色本身魅力十足无需多言，同时也塑造出普通人挣扎、羸弱的一面，而不是一味脸谱化的特工机器，冷血杀手，有血有肉，十分立体。非常有幸见证了这个时代最好的007系列电影，感慨万分，也继续期待新一代詹姆斯·邦德的全新故事。
男主家庭，估计在当代慢慢也很少有这种大家族的氛围了，就当怀念；结局男主女主没有在一起，这一点不错，而是一种朋友的视角慢慢相识
做什么美梦呢？女明星爱上你，还是醒醒起来搬砖吧。
These are very judgmental times. You can't just be a good actress. You have to be a good person too.
