Novelist Joseph Shearing specialized in using real cases which took place in Victorian England, altering them for fictional purposes. MOSS ROSE in 1947 was the first film to be made from his novels, then in 1948 two of his works were adapted for the screen, this film and THE MARK OF CAIN. The movie stars Todd as a recently widowed missionary returning to her home in England from Jamaica. During the voyage, she meets Milland, a charming though dangerous rascal who is wanted by police in connection with some unsavory dealings. Milland contracts malaria while onboard the ship and Todd nurses him back to health. In London, Todd settles into her home, taking in boarders to make ends meet. Milland arrives, moves in, and proclaims his love for her. Todd is thrilled, but it seems rather obvious that Milland is only toying with her. Milland finds some letters written to her by her friend, Fitzgerald, in which Fitzgerald reveals some of her sexual indiscretions. Since Fitzgerald is now married to the wealthy Huntley, Milland believes he can use the letters to blackmail Fitzgerald. Todd's love for Milland is so great that she goes along with the plan. Huntley, however, learns of the scheme and also uncovers details of Milland's shady past. Fearing for her lover's safety, Todd poisons Huntley, then remains silent when Fitzgerald is arrested for the murder. Milland has by now genuinely fallen in love with Todd and the two make plans to leave England. Before they can depart, one of Milland's former lovers shows up and Todd, in a jealous rage, kills Milland, then turns herself into the police.
This is an intriguing film, although a little on the talky side. The performances are excellent throughout, with Milland shining as the cad, the type of role in which he excelled. Though he spent most of his time making films in the US, he occasionally returned to his native England for a production and this was his first British film since FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS in 1939. Director Allen was also an Englishman who chose to work in the US, this being his first directorial effort in his homeland. This was the fourth and last time Milland and Allen would work together, their pairing having begun in 1944 with the wonderfully eerie THE UNINVITED.
可惜现实里既没有良心发现的杀手，也没有法外义警，只有那些有钱有权的恋童癖一手遮天。
这几年看的连姆·尼森的电影，都像是面对一个不愿意承认自己已经ed的男人，靠着吃药一次又一次强行勃起。
第一季剧场版，没有任何新的内容，全新场景和画面调色也并不明显，甚至少了银行那一集。只能起到为第二季预热和回忆的效果了 @Netflix
恋母尼森老胳膊老腿了，节奏很慢，但还是可以看的下去，面对有钱人的犯罪几乎无解，如果这个人还有权就是无敌了。
躺了一屋子尸体那个片段，真的很日式疯逼。猜到了结尾的反转但没想到剧情真这么走反而有点弱了，可能编剧就是单纯想看L把夜神月送进监狱吧。
比连姆大叔前两部《Honest Thief》和《Blacklight》要好不少，但是并没有出彩太多。剧情老生常谈，动作戏缺乏紧张刺激感，莫妮卡·贝鲁奇和盖·皮尔斯都加盟了，一种“廉颇老矣”之感还是扑面而来，三星给不再年轻的三位演员
原作漫画也是开篇优秀，可惜中途被腰斩，草草结尾，但是蕴含的优秀电影属性被找到并影视化。从本片的超豪华阵容就可以看出来制片公司还是想放开手脚大干一笔的，但是凡事都有连锁反应。导演的镜头语言非常老辣，用笔很珍惜是优点，但是对于剧本的把控能力还是存在问题，最后的反转非常莫名其妙。在请来了核心两个大咖后，又发现不能向原剧本那样拓展然后戛然而止，只得生硬的用最简单的影视剧逻辑来加一层反转，这样可以让松山研一不那么配角，毕竟花了这么多钱请来的。而这样的创作使得人物很不成功。而原漫画中的妻子也是有不少的出镜的，在电影里被弱化，结尾又拿出来，是比较失败的视角转变。总之在制片层面上如果更好的把控剧本，选出适合的演员而非纯粹搭配豪华阵容，最终的收入产出比可能更为合适一些。
【2022.05.21】刚看的时候对画面还是有点不习惯的，不过看了一会还是能接受的，虽然看着动作表情有点生硬，但还是好看的，这个IP很早就知道了，也很喜欢，也看过好几部，这部的剧情深度还是可以的呀！挺有意思的，有时间想去看看TV版的。
贝鲁奇出来打了个酱油，白种人真的是不耐老，连姆大叔也老了。
飓风营救之后，一个不如一个z
卡司很强+密集打酱油 松ken的脸演心机男还是不能接受 ，各种男人他都演了！还是最爱他的「蓝」。这次的角色，突然想起「扭曲的波纹」 ，又帅又机智……
很有当下日影特征的一部犯罪片，悬疑只是幌子，实际说的还是经济衰退以及群体意识的悲剧，但最后收尾到并不意外的个人恩怨也转移了核心表达的方向，也就还好，不过藤原龙也的表演可以，国内鲜肉好好跟人家学学哭戏吧
作案动机很浅显
杀手迟暮，要的是情怀，退休是不可能的，即使老年痴呆也得干下去。

其实各方面表达的都不够深，看似讲了实则没有涉及太多，守护小岛的理念压在男主身上这点矛盾结局都没突出来，我寻思着男二最后应该是自杀了，但是因为羡慕男主嫉妒他拥有的东西才出卖他这点实在不够看
阵容强大，就是不知道要讲啥，老年人互砍，最后反杀不错
人性的恶，在利益面前，表现得淋漓尽致！！！
大友良英写的口琴ED还是不错的。做凝结伤口的疮痂。基于漫画底本的故事尚算流畅，《东方快车谋杀案》模式（误），封闭岛民的无原则团结意识和不顾一切的振兴期望（可视为对“修宪”的隐喻），就是结尾毫无必要性的反转太无聊了。
营救哥，廉颇老矣！不过美哥墨的贩毒和贩卖儿童确实是人间毒瘤。
