This early 70's giallo by Umberto Lenzi is certainly among the best in his filmography and also in the whole genre. Personally I think Lenzi's best films are the funny cartoon-turned-film Kriminal, the stylish giallo Seven Blood-Stained Orchids, the explosive Napoli violenta and this. In the eighties he did plenty of film trash in form of Eaten Alive, Hitcher in the Dark or Black Demons, all of which are ripping something off and/or very dull and slow moving. Knife of Ice came when the giallo boom was at its hottest and the result is convincing.
Technically the film is superb, containing great cinematography in the beginning when we learn about the main character's trauma towards trains. From this point on, Lenzi shows us his ability to benefit the widescreen and, for example, the bicycle ride near the forest is genuinely beautiful! This scene also shows Lenzi's ability to build suspense, very slowly but meaningfully. After all, there aren't so many murders in the whole film, only the suspense circulating around the murderer's identity.
One suspect is a devil worshipper which brings new aspects to the mystery. Since the final scene takes place in a church, one can wonder if Lenzi wanted to comment on something, maybe the hypocritical morale of church and superstition. The main character (Carrol Baker) is mute which demands a lot from her face and eyes. The actress works very well, giving us a believable performance circulating around the emotions of fear and mental pain. The other actors are good, too. The finally, however, may not give too positive a sight about female sex since they all are expressed rather negatively in the film, one way or another. Still this is easily among the most noteworthy in the genre, not as bloody as the Argento films, for example, but equally suspenseful and visually also interesting.
一部真狗意淫正义的电影、一帮假狗舔的不要不要的、不谈那让人作呕的塑料主旋律、光是剧情逻辑也是漏洞百出、很明显、反正是糊弄狗的、编剧压根就没想好好写！😂
好看。100分钟左右的电影但内容丰满极了 数次反转所隐藏的信息若隐若现实在是高 那个女接待员 那把剪刀 那些纹身，到底是大火还是蓝色牛仔裤 在炉火纯青的电影节奏中都讲得让人觉得津津有味！宛如裁剪一套西服 不到最后一刻你都不知道成品会怎样 但一针一线 哪里转角哪里笔直却一切了然于心 这份游刃有余就像这个英国佬一样！马克里朗斯一战封神 超神那种神。
（❶本片最致命的剧透就是“转折”二字，一旦知道是以转折为主，什么都不意外；
为了大叔多一颗星，太喜欢北野武了，真实，不做作
三星半，明知道答案但还是喜欢看这紧张的周旋。
merry chrismas
所以也就是看个乐吧
北野武生の日おめでとう
完美之所以是最后必要的步骤，是因为它根本无法实现
真的，少爷死的时候还觉得这剧平平无奇。但后面的剧情还是蛮惊喜的，除了老爷子纹身有点假，另外如果能演出后面判若两人的感觉就好了，现在就觉得最后的反转怪怪的
编剧就像是主角裁剪师一样，精巧地剪出一部小而精巧的剧本，片尾的⭕渐隐字幕也暗示着一种周而复始的结构吧——黑帮烧死了他的妻女，他最后也用一把火来结束这对黑帮的覆灭之计。
但你说这个故事反转惊艳吗？其实也不至于。只能说剧本挺巧妙的，却还是故弄玄虚的成分更多。
低成本小场景悬疑电影，这类电影很吃剧本，本片剧本有些生硬
除了一些詭異段落剪接，其他都很好，以為再講北野武，其實再講北野武的師父，比想像中好看很多，很多細節。
“不要讨好观众，你要教他们欣赏。”
抱着我可不是电梯小弟我是天才的想法的小子，法兰西座的好心的卖票大妈还有脱衣舞女郎，其实也就这些了，后面我们知道他会火。师徒的感情真好，后面闪回太没必要了，影帝演技真好，但是北野武年轻的时候也不是面瘫啊，现成的一堆的故事，为啥还只是这样。
剧本很棒，前半段低智三人组搞笑，后半段多重反转精彩，结局足够高潮且没有刻意，但都比不上Mark叔叔神仙演技，每个小眼神都让人尖叫嗷嗷嗷。超喜欢女主，聪明，独立，潇洒，不是太美但独有风情。摄影和配乐都是imitation的翻版，唯独前半段的剪辑好多地方非常突兀…有一种刚毕业的广告导演拍猎奇mv的感觉…
上一次看到剧本这么硬、舞台这么小的电影，是《这个男人来自地球》。
Chicago Outfit即芝加哥黑手党，卡彭曾是领袖；Outfit双关有些刻意；黑帮A竭力蚕食黑帮B，双面秘书拉FBI入伙并坐收渔翁之利；男主假扮黑手党煽风点火，之后见招拆招，借刀灭A，再送B入狱。特别说明：秘书将真磁带交给FBI；男主谎称上层线人，数月投信拱火，再将假磁带寄给A；秘书通风报信，B出手抢假磁带，FBI围剿A；片末是第三盒。对A少爷小肚鸡肠和杯弓蛇影的刻画不可或缺，为内讧铺垫。情节依赖两个巧合：1.B赶在A少爷播放假磁带前设伏；忽略卡式磁带1963年才出现的bug，也是靠谱的，因为1956年磁带录音机还未普及。2.A少爷中伏后返回裁缝店；若B在裁缝店附近埋伏，也没毛病。否则，B会抢走假磁带，A仍被FBI剿灭，B继续做赌场，秘书出国，男主无事，第三盒不用上场。里朗斯真神！
美国黑帮风云仅是悬疑反转的残渣，伦敦学究发音为犯罪镀上优雅的金边。背叛的废土上长出迷幻的玻璃球，脏污的钱箱里交换干净的异国梦。用洞穿腰间的子弹浓缩一场盛大的械斗，以裁剪布料的剪刀制胜满城枪火，用录音带的长卷布下贪婪的圈套，让缝纫店的怒焰将无情都市燃成灰烬。为人父母有时便仿若是那套高高悬挂的样衣，但是否合身依然需要自我去剪裁。
