Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
好剧情被拍成这样，还有莫名的感情戏。冲着剧情去被吃了一嘴毛呢风衣和外套的安利。
感情戏真的是无聊且不必要 不如多给两个男主一点chemistry来的好嘛 毕竟一部电影聚齐了两位Mr.Darcy what are the odds!
一定要对的上电波才能看进去的电影，杀手少女们的日常，风格非常漫画，打斗不是很好看武打设计不够干净，不过看点不在这里，看点还是日常，挺不错。
😂只有我是先看了小约翰的视频知道了这个事，才看的这个电影吗。
科林叔帅炸了，我还以为他会写信给老婆离婚，没想到直到最后都没写，好美的一段恋情啊，甚至有点日本的感觉了
脸叔是真的帅
很多人不知道，战争的背后也是有很多人在默默付出，甚至倾力付出的。剧情节奏比较惊心动魄，很多人说感情戏没必要，我倒觉得挺好，一开始剧情也提到了，生活也是他们执行任务的一部分，太难太难了，最后的胜利背后，不光是前线战士的牺牲，还有很多背后的付出，尤其是那具尸体，他只是个流浪汉，也为了国家奉献了自己
基本上延续了不靠战争场面而靠文戏推动的英国二战片路线，双男主的微妙关系和女主的感情戏虽然略显狗血，但也反应出战争时期人们普遍渴望感情慰籍的心态。一具尸体一封情书一张照片最终推动了战局的发展，成就史上欺敌行动的典范。英国人还是很爱写小说的，“这个故事的结局最终以光明收尾。”是对二战最恰当的评价。
真实历史应该会更惊心动魄吧，可惜电影没有拍出紧张感，后半部分对于行动是成功还是失败的拉锯过程刻画过于轻描淡写

感情戏其实大可不必，脸叔即使是大叔了也依然帅
如果把那些讲三角恋的笔墨花在西班牙和德国人的反应上，这片子可以打五星。很遗憾没有如果
唯一亮点 驻西班牙的海军外交专员真不得了
现实事件比电影更精彩。中途睡着醒来后还在播。故事呈现方式不佳，前半段主线不清晰
看到宅女们带着冲锋枪骑自行车去公园跟黑社会火拼，就觉得很燃了。黑帮女也很有意思，感觉像霓虹国哈莉奎茵的设定！虽然是部SB三星片，但枪斗术、近身肉搏和换弹夹居然都巨帅，为这三个元素再加一星。另外剧组是因为太穷了吗？现场收声的效果堪比80年代港产枪战片，还是当年在录像厅看到的录种效果。
故事性很完整，剧情也很紧凑，情报部的行动两边夹击，尤其是在登岛前出现的小插曲，让人心又悬了起来。没有什么战争场面，看的是如何揣测和布局。以及该发生的终归会发生的剧情。
居然把所谓"欺敌行动史上最精彩的篇章"拍成了这么一场油腻不堪、莫名其妙的三角恋。I may vomit too, literally
整个计划部署还是很有意思的，卡司也非常强大，但是故事讲着太温吞，这段三角恋也有点奇奇怪怪，Colin叔和Kelly的柏拉图恋情诠释得细腻可铺垫不够……两位Mr.Darcy同框戏份很好看，任何计划都会有意外，那位三重特工可真是付出了太多（色相）~
英国宁，侬是真想的出哦；德国宁，侬是真好骗哦；西班牙宁，侬是来办家家呃。（感情戏毫无必要，看看就当补个历史课）
