这么善良的勒索犯上哪找？
好别扭
纵使James Mason这个人物是个悲剧，其内心转变也不太说得通，剧情走向十分神奇，很匪夷所思，这个讨债人表现得实在是风度翩翩，由原来的催债到放弃催债牺牲自己，大可以用所谓伟大的爱情来解释这发生的一切，或者因为Joan Bennett这个母亲形象确实很积极正面，代表了中产阶级家庭一种健康向上的道德风范和良好的家教，不由得感动到了催债人？基于这两点的心理过程描绘都有，只是还是不够自然，除此以外，这是一部不错的黑色情节剧。
漂亮的镜头之下，是爱情片套路的黑色质感。
一般
比我想象的好多了...令人耳目一新的黑色电影
Indicator; 平淡
后三分之一没劲了，但还是值得看看。
感情来的有点突然，如果这方面做的更足一点就好了
donnely的转变没道理
看过留痕
父亲的缺失所带来的是母亲所要承受的双份压力和责任，这个角色塑造的算是出色，但是剧本问题还是很大
只能说爱情就是不讲道理吧…… 要不然完全解释不了为啥男主突然爱上女主，甚至为她去杀人并在死前坚持背黑锅。理解不了，于是我只能高呼：哈利路亚，爱情万岁。again，能不能把黑色电影的标签去掉，不是说一些表面的黑色元素和情节剧结合起来就黑色电影了，黑色电影至少是反家庭的个人主义啊亲……
蛇蝎原配，救赎的第三者。
