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.
用镜头掩盖尴尬的对话，照太阳让观众提神，加上这迷的结尾，不知道要表达什么
很舒服。叙事的节奏，日常的活动慢节奏一幕幕地过，不是在交代什么，呈现一种状态，然后出来一种节奏，这种节奏是导演想给出的东西。导演也喜欢节奏一下来个突变，他不要起伏，一层层铺上去再滑下来，那种，婉转的东西，他就是突然来一下，开一枪，然后立马回到原来的慢节奏，这很有意思。
很一般，看出韩剧的即视感，知道男主唉就是玩儿还是看着没多大感觉。tim roth都祛不掉角色的油腻
创意类似于《血溅13号警署》，一群badass级别的人齐聚在一个小小的警察局，悬念营造得还不错，不过主角间的互动没有预想的有意思，结尾也是相当潦草。
黎明终将到来，是泡沫也好，是希望也好，总要去面对。
回过头来才意识到原来男主就是当代有钱人版默尔索，Tim Roth表演到位，但导演的表达功力比加缪差太多了，过程既然已经放弃了一切解释，结尾给虚无赋予缘由就实在有些多此一举。中段因为不解释而强行制造出的悬疑和反转唯一的作用就是分散观众注意力，如果导演想拍的是局外人，那这部电影无疑是失败的
看到最后也没搞清楚，被袭击死去的女的，跟男主啥关系……
3星半，很喜欢的度假题材电影，放松自由的度假却伴随着隐藏的沉痛秘密，以及面临着死亡的危机，意外与命运共同袭来，无人知晓，无所依存（自认为改成渣男的情节会更有意思一点 【立青映画字幕组翻译】
【一个吻引发的血案】露西亚娜曾为一位著名小说家工作，因为作家的一次冲动，强吻了露西亚，羞愧的女主告知了母亲，随后被告。却因为传票被身患忧郁症的妻子看到。从而酿成妻子女儿自杀身亡的噩耗。而拿到200万和解费的露西亚一家开心的前往海边独家，随即噩耗将诶二连杀的发生。她确信家人的悲惨死亡由此人一手策划，于是求助一名记者揭露事情的真相……
前期的悬疑和多线配上这个结局就变成了故弄玄虚。

这是部空间较小、戏剧性很强的影片，当成舞台剧演也没问题。整体说，故事很集中、流畅，悬疑感也很强，人物个性非常鲜明。黑人女主给人耳目一新之感，虽然有点稚嫩，但挺有气质，比较硬气、勇敢，也有些机智聪明，与大牌一起表演并不逊色。
感觉剧本和其他制作部分是剥离的，使得电影作为filter套上任何其他的故事也能成
猫になったんだよな君は
无所谓但就是很喜欢，除了最后医院的段落。羡慕这种自在随意的电影感和表演，这群人演的可真屌。
4.5分。除了女主的颜和身材，一无是处的烂片，男主老头那一脸欠扁的装叉样和无敌的o型腿倒是让人记忆深刻！好故事烂编剧的典型！
最后两男成功劝说女警放走自己，成就了三男对决，转变于第一个被主场男人的不诚实，说好解决完来救助女警结果自己吃饭去了，最后呢，和女警对决，故事也就随着该死的都死了，巴特勒成为唯一一个逃脱的人而结束。
挺好的剧情最后居然啥都没讲就结束了 女主妹妹难道是幕后操纵人吗
片子影调和谐又不舒服，一个这么简单的海岛风光片也被赋予了这么多含义，最后尼尔和妹妹孩子一起签协议的镜头，到底是自我救赎，还是死前的良心发现，弗兰克真是能持续关注的导演
this is fun! few movies not winking at the audience.
