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.
3星。剧情是有点一般，紧张得不刺激，温情得不感动，调动情绪的手法总差一些。但是肖央的演技真的可以，镜头特写给的表情处理都很到位，有些不怎么煽情的片段他演的也很感人。任达华更不用说，只是这个警察的角色太憋屈了。总的来说，剧本跟不上演员的演技。
最后，重获自由的人们纷纷走上街头，他们欢声笑语，燃起烟花爆竹，庆祝这来之不易的抗争结局。怎么样，像不像平行时空下的上海？（电影还是很无聊，相比85版把主要矛盾稍稍改了一下，人物转变也更立体了点，场面更大了，但还是没啥意思，两星半吧）
萤火之光只有在黑暗的地方才被发现，不等于可以被黑暗吞噬。
借用影片中的那句话∶是多么丧心病狂的编剧才能写出这样的剧本。
不及格的分数我觉得是功利的命名引发错误的期待酿成的后果，很想说一声活该。。但其实主题还好，演员的表演也称得上真挚。
12月15点映场座无虚席。但“误杀2”照比“1”差了十万八千里，而且影片和误杀没有任何关系。总体框架还行，但具体情节完全经不起推敲，尤其女记者私闯器官捐献中心那场戏太过儿戏，bug无数。导演功力差到尹子维和李治廷还有女记者那演员演成那样都能收货也是够可以的！跨年贺岁片第一枪开的不怎么样。3分都多。2点几分吧
我特么因为错过开头二十分钟觉得悬疑片还是看完整所以又特么买了两张票啊！！我现在就去反诈APP举报啊！！！封心锁爱了家人们啊！！！！跟误杀有一毛钱关系啊？？？还不如拍成医生为了救孩子偷偷换了心脏结果被老婆去世了的人杀了没来得及告诉肖央结果是肖央误杀了自己本能得救的孩子来的正常啊！！
太烂了。剧情离谱没逻辑，台词相当之尴尬……不知道在演什么。。
得亏是遇到黑幕了，不然借的高利贷都能让你全家万劫不复…
原版有一个很精彩的剧本，通过人物间的互动，人物的行为，四两拨千斤地暴露美国蓝领的生存困境，每个转折都是美国“系统性”的问题，Denzel细腻柔韧的表演塑造了一个教父式的人物，很精彩。
全员几乎没有大恶，一众看似反面角色居然都向着伟光正进化，乌合之众还是人云亦云的存在。boss在对方毫无筹码的时候都心怀善念这就不符合常理，个人对抗公权力《沉默的真相》双方立场才是合逻辑的人性，太理想化就会显得虚无拉胯。医院中的群像功能性偏弱，有篇幅的人物出场，应当都是给故事情节起到作用的，但这里并没多少。
得亏是遇到黑幕了，不然借的高利贷都能让你全家万劫不复…
平庸，与误杀1相比过于平庸，不管是选角还是剧情，都是公式一样的套路，煽情也过于刻意。
歌颂一些并不存在的东西，以及最好笑的是，在讲泰语的地方歌颂中国父爱。
很拉胯很民粹--狗尾续貂，比一差五条街--女记者气质就像个神经质变态杀手
3】场景置景简陋，灯光好想也没舍得多用，2个女主 基本花瓶，背着台词演，全靠肖央和任达华来撑。
好久没进电影院了，包场的感觉真好。有原著打底，真是破船也有三根钉，有趣的部分全是藤子·F.不二雄的，改编部分实在毫无必要（你说你搞一个姐姐形象干啥，原作本来就有无性别的象征意味，隐喻最广泛的人被压迫），不如老老实实出个重制版。不过，幼时看只觉得有趣，现在看才发现左翼艺术家的笔法。这本质上还是一个走向gh与恢复dz角力的故事（这样得故事如今是越来越少见了），流亡总统和将军真是怎么看怎么眼熟。异星人依靠人类确立了天赐的权力，如今人类自己却身处两难的岔路口，看不到未来……
怪不得要在泰国拍，这电影在中国拍能上映吗？后面几个反转，确实没想到，每个人物都在自己的功能。这部续集很容易提高了期待感，和第一部没有任何故事上的延续，但是说的确实是电影名字面上的意思。估计叫误杀之叉叉叉也行。
任达华和肖央演技爆炸，和误杀1没有任何关系，完全没有第一部好看，前半部份很空洞，甚至很多情节能猜到，本来以为会很反转，但并没有，好在结局还算感人，好人好得莫名其妙，很多情节并不合理
最后林日朗给儿子写的那封信里有句话我很喜欢“每个人都会死的。死并不可怕 ，可怕的是没有尝试为自己的生命而奋斗”
