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.
武侠类型的未来在动漫啊！
真人武侠电影止步了，对之探索是打算彻底交给动漫了吗？
打戏第一
除了建模过于粗糙之外，剧情和动作都非常不错，景物也很可以，但是最好的拳拳到肉的动感
罗通有帮他偷陨石的红娘，有打铁也看人的江渊帮他造无免戟，有生死看淡，难凉热血的龙顺帮他行侠仗义报仇雪恨。
这部电影的人物情感与含蓄表达都非常“日式”，前面有不少无谓的情节，叙述与节奏都比较散，但是后期父子情与姐弟情的宣泄治愈再次回到了韩国拿手的煽情上，加上影帝李星民的演绎，确实是拍得细腻动人，分数都加在这方面上了。
文戏平庸，雷点不少，毛病更多，唯一的亮点是武戏，但也只能说武打设计和流畅度不错，打击感还可以，但是感觉动作很飘没有发力的感觉。
父子情有些老套
银鞍照白马，飒沓如流星
来这世上一遭，
运镜不错，魄力十足，然后。。。没了（女主普通了点）
国漫威武，虽不如雾山五行细腻，也是精彩力作

经典！！难以超越！！国漫打戏天花板！！超过日漫了！！这打戏太猛了 拳拳到肉 够血腥 够暴力 够刺激~🔥🔥🔥
对这种琐碎的温情片彻底免疫，30多岁出演高中生太让人出戏，姐姐演成小恋人的感觉，只能骗骗粉丝。
打斗太爽了把，真的很细致的招式。但是剧情还有人物的一些台词内容撑不起来，还是动作抢眼很多。最后莫名那些手下就跟着主角混了。
时隔一年又看到更三的枕刀歌系列了，真的是太满足了，让我重温了我的武侠梦
彩蛋海盗日语说出的那一刻，整个人都沸腾了。第二部要抗日？
三星半。前3/4还不错，爸爸那条线的收尾扣半星！感觉创作者想要好多东西，爱情讲一段梦想讲一段爸爸讲一段，也因为姐姐的梗冲击力太强，后面很难再推上去了。场面和小情节的设计蛮好看。
最后，最后的打斗场面真的精彩，用真人拍确实拍不出来的。
