The film opens with a narrated disclaimer over footage of an opening coffin. The narrator explains that the film's climax is so terrifying that it may kill the viewer, and reassures the audience that if they die of fright while watching the film, they will receive a free burial service, and it closes on the casket which has a card inside reading "Reserved for You."[1]
Newlyweds Jenni (Peggy Webber) and Eric (John Hudson) move into Eric's palatial country home. Jenni is Eric's second wife; his first wife Marion died when she accidentally slipped and hit her head on the edge of a decorative pond on the estate. At the home they meet Eric's friends, the Reverend Snow (Russ Conway) and his wife (Toni Johnson), as well as Mickey (Alex Nicol), the developmentally disabled gardener. Eric privately mentions to the Snows that Jenni spent time in an asylum following the sudden death of both her parents, and Mrs. Snow reveals that Jenni is very wealthy.
Jenni is disturbed both by Mickey's belief that Marion's ghost wanders the estate and by Marion's self-portrait inside the house, which Jenni believes resembles her mother. When she begins to hear unexplained screaming noises and see skulls around her house, she believes that Marion is haunting her. Though Eric speculates to Jenni that Mickey, who was a childhood friend of Marion and thus dislikes Jenni, may be behind the trickery, Jenni worries that she is going insane. Eric then suggests to remove Marion's self-portrait from the home. Eric and Jenni take the painting outside and burn it. While they clean up the remains of the painting, a skull emerges from the ashes. While Jenni panics at the sight of the skull, Eric denies that the skull is there. Jenni faints and Eric withdraws the skull and hides it, revealing that he was responsible for the trickery all along in an effort to get hold of her wealth.
Believing she has finally lost her sanity, Jenni resolves to be committed. She tells Eric that the entire property will be meticulously searched for the skull as a last resort. Before Eric can retrieve it, Mickey secretly steals the skull and brings it to the Reverend, revealing Eric's plans. That night, Eric prepares to murder Jenni and stage it as a suicide. Jenni sees Marion's ghost in Mickey's greenhouse and flees back to the house. When she enters, Eric begins throttling her. The ghost then appears and chases Eric outside and about the property; it finally corners and attacks him, drowning him in the decorative pond.
After Jenni regains consciousness, the Snows arrive. Mrs. Snow comforts a hysterical Jenni and the Reverend discovers Eric's body in the pond. Some undisclosed time later, Jenni and the Snows depart from the house. Reverend Snow declares whether or not Marion's death was an accident will remain a mystery.
比较硬派的动作片，气氛渲染的其实还不错，动作戏也比较硬朗，但剧情确实一般，硬伤也比较明显，比如为什么非要置男主于死地之类的。另外就是前半小时有些无聊，如果一开始就制造些紧张气氛，类似《谍影重重》，可能观感会好些，现在这种讲故事手法太老套了……
豆瓣分好低，其实还行，不是无脑砰砰砰，退伍老兵的悲歌，被背叛两次
[1]我的男二号啊，能不能夜袭之前先在外套里面穿个防弹背心，然后再提前给手枪装个消音器，你死得太冤了吧。[2]粘贴三条我很中意的网友评论：(1)我没看懂那个头头的用意何在……(2)前半小时的铺垫太无聊了，到了柏林才开始好看起来。看完了也没弄明白为何非要杀死男主。(3)走位有一定问题。
本片是派派Chris Pine和本福斯特继《怒海救援》、《赴汤蹈火》后第三次合作。派派年纪大了也开始接自己的《John Wick》了，类似基努里维斯、连姆尼森的中年硬汉，希望能够通过动作片再次向好莱坞证明：我还没老，我还能打！剧情来说依然是美国退伍老兵被坑然后复仇的故事，但是节奏把握的非常到位，103分钟毫无拖泥带水，重现了谍影重重般的追杀、反侦察？真实肉搏，让我这个动作片爱好者大呼过瘾。最后赞一下亚马逊，这片子本来美国时间4月1号上线的，但是资源提前一天流出了，今天就能在家同步北美院线爽上流媒体4K真是太爽了哈哈哈。
爽剧的同时还不忘了讽刺一下官僚，连议会大厦都敢炸，程式、节奏、政治，某些方面已经超过我们了
最近少有的枪战电影，细节很真实，火力掩护包抄，战术换弹，cqb。里面所体现的美国老兵待遇问题值得深思。当然了，文青是不懂的。不要被评分骗了，值得一看。
后面的剧情比较紧凑。
老套的退役失落老兵复仇记，再配上本·福斯特一口“嘴里盘了核桃”的生硬口音，毫无观感
6分 男主破产替军方干脏活，直接受总统授权，绕开国会，在柏林执行非法行动。中途发现杀的人是科研药品拯救世界的叙利亚穆斯林好人，反派自然是美国政府释放病毒祸害几十亿人。最后男主带着好友把下命令的上司等几个人干掉了，但这么大的事情不可能就这么几个人，最后也没交代。也就白左写得出这样的剧本。
典型的想法大于能力，能感觉出来很努力的想拍一部好电影，但是，剧情硬伤太多，推情绪的节奏感又混乱，还是那句：烂编剧不分国界
大体上和好莱坞类型片没什么区别，只是在行进节奏上显得稚嫩，热闹有余，精彩不足。影片最大的问题是，虽然角色战斗力大幅提高，但人工智能这个影片主打的元素还是描述和展现的太少，远不如类似设定的《升级》有趣。另外，这个男主外形身材可以，耍帅扮酷也挺在行，但演技这一块，基本是没有的，一点也没有。
后面的剧情比较紧凑。
承包商 2022.6.25 看了一星期，逻辑有硬伤，还是挺好看。无论发生了什么，都要认真对待。
男的个顶个英勇神奇 不死之身 哈哈
克里斯和反恐局长都透出浓浓的憔悴感，还是年纪大了？
芯片植入跟升级一个套路，杂糅进去的桥段太多，看着热闹，没有爽感！
虽然是个大杂烩 但其实不难看 每个方面都差一点 好在没有一言不合就跳舞 4星

公司老板就抓住这个群体的痛处，用不对称的信息让这群老兵为自己干脏活，然后卸磨杀驴，可怜美国大兵，自相残杀，客死他乡。
确实，咋一看还像那么点谍影重重，后来却有种东施效颦的感觉，比如剪辑缺少了凌厉，机位也没有那么多，配乐是更加的差，只是刚到柏林那种冷峻的画面感才稍稍有那么一点谍影的感觉。最拉跨的是剧本，逻辑上根本不成立，为啥男二可以安然回家，而男一必须被灭口，这应该是最大的bug了吧。但是为啥还给3星呢，主要是电影的中心思想还是可以的，反思美国军队，反思美国资本，单纯就反思退伍军人处置这一块有第一滴血的味道
