A brief trip back home turns into a longer stay when Eric finds himself caught between catching up with his two sisters and conquering his old poker group. The more Eric extends his visit to prove that he is still the best poker player in town, the harder it becomes to steer clear of the old fault lines in his relationship with his sister Rachel. As their little sister Maggie attempts to recreate the intimate world they once shared, Eric and Rachel are faced with the divide between their childhood selves and the adults they have now become.
Displaying all the sensitivity and wicked humour of his previous works, Dustin Guy Defa’s new film is a shrewd study of the pitiless condition known as adulthood. After growing up in a family unit that constitutes your whole world, with its particular set of habits and a shared language, crossing the border into the realm of adults can feel disempowering, even terrifying. A sense of loss may be difficult to ever really overcome. The film’s meticulous structure and novelistic depth lay bare this fundamental fear, but also the resources that exist to fight it. Setting about this treasure hunt deep within as individuals and as a family is an admirable trio of actors whose interpretation is as nuanced as it is poignant.
小成本悬疑片，虽然快到最后猜到了结局，但还是看的很过瘾。美国一些比较敏感的话题想警民关系、医疗保障都有一些涉及。但电影毕竟是电影。社会并不会因为一部电影而改变
多一星给老吉吧，确实是看老吉花式炫演技，几处情绪的处理都很有感染力。但除此之外剧本还是欠打磨，又或者是改编版本加入的细节本身干扰了主线……有空品品丹麦原版。
这几年看过叙事最抓人的片子了 全片只有一个场景 十几个角色都没露脸 都是通过电话塑造人物形象和故事 最后反转反转再反转
帮助他人也是对自己的救赎，没几个场景大部分都是电话，依旧很精彩
以这种小格局的悬疑片来说，本身在有限时间内调度节奏就很有难度，这片还要把大段的时间往主角救赎这个主题上凑（甚至临近结尾你才明白导演的意图），导致主线剧情完全沦为次辅、剧情输出匮乏、张力完全不够，玩深度咱换个类型片玩不行吗。
比許多臉譜化的說警察不好的影片強上一萬片 短小精悍可以做到拔高立意值得鼓勵
Broken people save broken people.
老吉的独场秀，有些暴躁，情感复杂。略微有些too much？ 紧张感是有的。落魄之人拯救落魄之人。
一个场景就把戏演了，太厉害了... Emily 只有声音也挺厉害的。
对比丹麦版的高冷，好莱坞版明显感情充沛、外露。
有《狙击电话亭》和《洛克》在前，这部片在人物刻画到表演，到剧情张力上都远远不如。
不得不佩服吉伦哈尔的演技。我们看起来是911的接线员在和对面通电话。但是实际拍摄不是我们看到的这样。只是吉伦哈尔一个人对着镜头假装在打电话。剧情方面好跌宕起伏啊，以为只是个简单的求助，随着剧情可以说是神展开了……
broken people save broken people...
杰克•吉伦哈尔表演Master Class。
要说剧情Bug，这个年代，指导对方打开地图软件实时定位一下，比一直追问着让对方描述位置要合理得多。瑕不掩瑜，谁让岁月的杀猪刀把 Jake Gyllenhaal 脸上的褶子和抬头纹都刀得这么耐看呢？
还算有意思的惊悚小品，上一次看Gyllenhaal演惊悚电影还是the prisoner，很高级的摄影和剪辑。此片是独幕独角戏，摄影就全剩下近景和特写，Jake的表演虽然撑得起这种拍摄方法不过也略显吃力，紧张的氛围渲染地不错。
场景不过两三个，人物也就四五个。省钱啊，神经病拯救神经病？老美的价值观越来越觉得恶心。片子太压抑
电影很无聊，三星全部给演技，老吉一个人hold住全场
如果结局不那么“真善美”时长缩短至30分钟，我相信会更精彩。独角戏撑下来实属不易。打光灾难。
典型的雷大雨小，故作玄虚，结果就是罪恶感这老套的事，啥元素都没用上，啥都没记住。
