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.
气死我了！
没看过第一部，奔着娜酱看了这部，印象最深的黑帮条子恩怨，人物间的背叛仁义信任，枪战砍手指挖眼睛之类的血腥场景。整体故事够老派，看着很爽，而且关西腔？从混混嘴里讲出来太对味了。几个槽点：娜酱那段哭戏，感觉情绪没有宣泄出来，演技确实捉急；桃李跟反派最后的单挑，那枪战真就人体描边…最后找狼那段在表达什么，桃李就是最后的孤狼—仅剩的黑帮人物？印象中桃李演的角色都很温文尔雅，这么硬汉？的角色还第一次看到，抽空把第一部补了，毕竟我太吃他的颜值了
上半场对脸盲患者极不友好。硬伤肯定有，别往文艺上靠，别煽情，但拍得比较努力，还是支持！
某些地方略显牵强，不够合理。
比第一部更差，人物就几个，来来回回的，想拍出无间道没那个本事，黑帮的戏份也写的不完整，不是很好看
执着从暴力的角度刻画上林的恶魔形象，对人物故事的雕琢有点跟不上。电影中上林执念为老大五十子复仇，却缺少和老大之间感情的交代。至于挖👀，不得不说极道电影中的暴力美学，《极恶非道1》确实是天花板了
悬疑是外壳，这是一部诚意十足的剧情片啊。在最后的舞台上，严华看着林音的感觉一切文字都无法形容，光凭这一场戏，这部电影就已经无法被时间抹去它的价值。
色调构图和取景故作文艺，但根本的剧本台词寡淡无味故作矫情
第一部不记清了，所以没办法做比较。反派很出彩，因为除了结尾一定要死以外，其他时间就是疯狗一样不怕疼不拍打、死不了的“超英”，男主相反除了结尾打死反派以外，几乎全片弱鸡。常规的日系黑帮电影，各种大喊大叫比嗓门，还有必不可少的切手指，这个日本黑帮电影第一主角绝对得是“一根手指”啊！6分
前半部几个反转还是有点意思的，最后失控了有点崩
要是不是孤狼之血续集可能会更高分，主要前作太厉害了，这一部就显得平平，幸太这个演员很有灵气，很显眼，妈妈桑太不妈妈桑了，桃李还是适合前作菜鸟警察，但还是很帅
第一部都基本忘记了，这一部剧情太无聊了，闷，6.2
断崖式下滑续作，前作的缓慢节奏可以靠演员的魅力弥补，这一作只剩下反派疯狗人设，又臭又长。最后一幕泄愤般的暴力也显得没那么爽快
中国商业电影要是都有这种水准该有多好，中国电影加油吧！
优点很明显缺点也很明显的一部国产网大悬疑，其实三星是按照悬疑片类别打的，如果是按照文艺片打甚至能达到4星。以悬疑片来说有一些强制逻辑和为了推动剧情的刻意设计实在是不能忽视的bug，尤其是很多观众也提到的开篇怎样能把一个目击者口中的烧伤脸的人画出模拟罪犯画像问题。但是以文艺片标准来，一句“我来了，时代却走了”真是把全片这种小人物在时代洪流中梦想与人生被击溃的苍凉感拿捏住了，尤其多次提到的上山下乡支援三线建设问题。再就是片子里出现过的三个主要的女性角色命运也让人喟叹，某种意义上说，这片男性角色看完没感觉，尤其男性人民警察们，都是推动剧情的工具人，反而女性角色刻画得让人怜惜共情。这个意义上说这片也是可以打4星的。
非常喜欢这个风格的电影，遥远而真实，故事丰满镜头语言也很美，既有真实案件又有动人的情感，看到最后有些感动! 可惜没有在影院上映!
没有第一部塑造角色成功，反派恶的来源竟然是童年不幸？
喜欢风格 喜欢看“拍那个时候”的中国电影；拍的很好 不输同风格日韩 剧情略逊色
两个丧家犬的战斗：01.一个为了自己所谓的和平；02一个为了所谓的荣耀；时长过于冗长了，故事根本撑不起来两个小时，90分钟足够，有些拖沓，拔高评分的点几乎都是在第三幕强行解释，前面没有铺垫。
大上警官去世以后，日冈接过权棒，在广岛两大社团绷紧的钢丝线上游走，纵横捭阖的表象背后实际上是靠自己八面玲珑的手腕换得一方地下秩序的安稳。一切从上林出狱开始，平衡被打破了。日冈在广岛黑社会之间的游走，让其他同事和上司产生了不满，最后自己也成了政治权柄下的棋子，在女朋友的弟弟惨死之后，他决定愤起反击，以暴制暴虽然不可取，但是却是最直接有效的方法。
