Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
浅浅的剧本，重点在于导演能将它实现，以及演员在艰苦条件下的顶级演技
其实我对这类影片挺无感的，可能是观影之中比影片之人感到更寂寥，大片大片的荒漠充斥，人到底图个什么。扎克埃夫隆也是努力转型之中，不过还是喜欢参演歌舞电影。
确实前戏铺垫太长，高潮好像没有开始就结束了，影片节奏很慢，文戏很多，什么父子间的羁绊，家人的羁绊，兄弟的羁绊之类的套路，还有就是退役老兵复仇记其实好莱坞拍过很多次了，这次加入了关于病毒和疫苗的桥段，非常切合现在的真实背景，不免令人联想现今已经发生两年的疫情是人为造成，至于背后的凶手，估计将会又是世界未解之谜。
有些部分转折让人莫名其妙，一脸懵逼，最后也是匆匆收尾！
还不错 简单又不简单 视觉风格有辨识度 当然不管是好是坏 故事有些平但是剧情走向没有办法 人物和人物关系之类的不必追求 题材和空间已经决定了上限 台词和诉求不必追求 本来也就是图一乐
荒野求生的氛围渲染的很好！只是男主有点弱智，怎么可能留下守黄金，司机不回来，不就活活的饿死他了！男主荒野生存的技能弱爆了！数次机会都不去选择，他不死谁死呀！飞机庇护地不去，偏偏守着现场，电话、女人、路过的汽车、风暴........活该死掉！
纯真人的变化到自食其果，大胡子也没好下场，人为财死，鸟为食亡，很多细节没有，场景层次不是很好，但是可以一看
男主的演技我觉得可以，几乎就是一个人的独角戏了，就是整部片子太不知所云了，不合理的地方挺多，很好奇故事的时间背景，应该是未来的末世设定？
男主又瘸脑子也不好使
不够精彩
想起了当年的《活埋》，小成本固定场景，深挖人性不自觉就代入到主角的心境，从希望到绝望的变化，信任比水更难能可贵，更别说黄金了。
whaaaaat看完才发现居然是扎克埃夫隆
派恩 和小强老了好多 以为本福斯特 又跟机械师一样成了25仔 错怪他了
又臭又长的前奏，莫名其妙的兄弟抛弃，莫名其妙的复仇，什么破逻辑啊，商业垃圾片，唯一的收获就是打工还是要去有品牌的大公司。
真特么应景，对没错，H5N1就是美国人放的。
这化妆技术 让我知道了被晒脱皮是什么样子
柏林枪战那段最好看，后面的剧情简直槽多无口和闹着玩似的，结尾派望着家人的微笑也格外老套…
总体感觉还行 B级片做的还算可以了 低预算 子弹的音效我特别喜欢 人物刻画做的挺细致 就是故事没意思 兄弟情义你来我往 三方火拼多好玩
我们总会站在高处指责人们的贪婪、狡诈、不择手段。如果面对巨大利益，我们会怎么办？
近期一口气看完的佳作，埃夫隆是有野心的演员
