Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
这才是武侠片该有的风格，剧情有些降智的地方，但瑕不掩瑜。
张彻内核的复仇武侠片，有座头市的影子，故事简单，一路杀杀杀，可以说是网大制作天花板了。
畅快淋漓很过瘾。氛围营造的不错，构图和剪辑也比较讲究，侠客精神表现得不错，火焰刀帅我一脸。
功名无趣，坛酒散千金；
前半段节奏很好，让人特想去潮汕旅游，后半段垮了点，整体还不错，结尾伪自录多余
非常好，都能闻到汕头咸咸的海风。多来点这种地域风味浓烈的片子吧
剧情简单，打戏勉强一般，不过这样一个及格电影能成为今年武侠第一，那确实也蛮讽刺的。
大城市中年女性困境——家庭不错学历很高工作优秀人品上乘仍然要被方方面面配不上自己的婆家挑剔：你各方面都能找个更好的本地人。（说实话杭州比潮汕差吗，江浙明明地图炮开得也很厉害😊 但作为民俗片看我很喜欢。最近国内的民俗片各地开花（上海代表爱情神话，台南代表俗女养成记，重庆代表作品太多了不表…）希望越来越多的这种片出来，让我们感受到中国各地丰富多彩的文化特色～骂这个片封建的大可不必了，事实如此，这本来也是传统文化的一部份特征，强行闭眼和抹杀和强行把全世界变成纽约大都市的人有什么区别？
切葫芦擦刀起火那个还不错，网络作品还是一如既往的搬运，看到《一代宗师》和《绣春刀》的影子；圣人不死，大盗不止
7分。好久没看到这么爽利的武侠电影了。简简单单的一个快意恩仇的故事，瞎子捉刀人为被灭门的酿酒女报仇。时长只有74分钟，剧情一点圈子也不绕，前因、经过、结果，完事。动作设计还算不错，打斗场面干净过瘾，雪中复仇那段挺美。捉刀人功夫太高，最后通过暗箭伤人给捉刀人带来一点点难度。不同兵器的对抗是花了心思的，肉搏的设计看得有点疼。推荐一看。男主谢苗是跟李连杰演《新少林五祖》那个童星，现在挺帅。
取景和调色不错，后期剪辑过关，但是故事简单漏洞太多，也有矫揉造作的情节，作为网大及格。
《疾速追杀》的腔调，《伸冤人》的风格，但骨子里是最正统的武侠内核表达，目中无人，心执侠义。
拍得挺认真的，就是对这个故事毫无兴趣。谢苗身手不错，就是形象太吃亏了，不帅也不酷。
讨一碗酒，讲一个公道。手起刀落，短小精悍。
一个很不错的开始，但是仅仅是个开始。剧情简单，没什么可挖的地方，但是服化道以及武打设计都还不错，人物颜值也算在线。谢苗这么多年的电影就这个还算好看。其实我建议谢苗将这个做成一个系列电影，你这辈子吃这一个背景就足够了。这个切入点很好，往前是安史之乱中最惨烈的睢阳保卫战，张巡南霁云加上成乙三五个电影就有了；往后可以继续写捉刀人的故事，成乙是如何行侠仗义的也可以继续说，希望谢苗可以好好打磨这个背景，千万别浪费了……
堪称自徐浩峰新作被雪藏以来难得的武侠佳作。
不错，配乐增色太多太多。
7分高了点吧 制作动作还行 选角一般 剧作也是简陋 会不会是被改了很多 最后成片也剪得急短
人设显然是抄的盲侠座头市。座头市是日本剑戟片时代的代表人物，拍了数十部，还曾大战独臂刀。几年前就有一部国产电视电影山寨过。
2022春节档以来最好看的电影。就是外地媳妇去见家长的簡單故事，情感真实的电影。可以看得出导演有点小企图，虽然有些镜头稚嫩但还是蛮用心。和爱情神话一样是一部方言电影，因此除了故事本身，影片地域感也带给我们不一样的体验。在什么都严重同质化的现在显得非常的珍贵。
