演员演戏分外努力，然而盖不住故事的平庸
哦哦原来就是内特拉姆的导演我就说怎么这么熟悉。soundtracks很顶。toxic masculinity（什么新纳粹熊男…）的男性受害者

看了一下真实事件真是可怕
这些家伙就是想杀人，什么主持公道地下执法都是借口啦。全片最血腥的居然就是浴室戏了，不够看啊，我还蛮想看看他们怎么杀的Verna:D。强奸戏Jamie宛如一具尸体，也不够看啊（hhhh
甚至真实事件被轻描淡写了两个小时，没有什么看头，非常无聊
3.5，打个四星平衡下……分也太低了，到底是来了多少对这片抱有错误预期的观众。感谢推荐，确实是我喜欢的风格（Nitram和这部一脉相承）。Toxic masculinity的危害体现得特别好，这玩意儿可比毒品流毒深远多了
想起《佛罗里达乐园》，但对于底层生活的描绘，更多是野蛮凶戾的残暴，父爱缺失与性侵形成双重的情感障碍，在拉扯之间磨去遍体的懦弱和最后的良知，左邻右里在集体讨论时呈现出被社会法律秩序压榨的服从性，或许是刺伤施暴者神经的针。音乐、空镜与表演赋予氛围最大的支持，情节上的破碎有些过，暴力凌厉刺骨，杀狗、吞鼠、浴室虐待，每一幕都看得毛骨悚然。猝不及防的真实事件改编，让人觉得原来现实比电影恐怖万倍。
整挺好，跟《内特拉姆》一个路数但更松散更冷一点，有一些空镜但也可以忽略不计，没有什么情绪我喜欢这种处理。变态杀手养成记，杀人从杀狗开始，当然最喜欢浴室杀他哥那场戏，那个场景不可避免地让人想起《趣味游戏》，我相当满意。明天看下Discovery澳洲桶尸案
我在阿德莱德生活的时候没听说过这件臭名昭著的案件，最近才知道。电影很好，有种压抑感，很符合Jamie当时的恐惧又无可奈何的心里活动……
配乐出色 但有些依赖于配乐
B
约翰控制杰米的手段，实在是熟谙政客之道。杰米不肯看当初强奸自己的特洛伊那么煎熬，给了他一个痛快，影片一大半已经过去了，直到这时他还是天良未泯，可是人性竟然崩塌得那么快，那么快就麻木了。这个节奏很多人可能觉得不好，但我觉得相当不错。肯定是一部会令人不爽的电影，因为许多观众就和杰米差不多，甚至比他还要平庸。
又臭又长……………………
拉拉分 5.9实在太低了点｜浴室那场和男主有感同身受的体验
