Siskel and Ebert once ran a special show entitled "Movies I'm Embarrassed to Admit I Liked." I suppose that if I composed such a list of guilty pleasures, this one would be one of them . . . but upon reflection, it's really a lot better than that. Fifteen year-old science prodigy Mitch (Gabe Jarret) is recruited by ambitious college professor William Atherton (in yet another of his patented roles as a loathsome character) to work on the professor's prize laser project, not knowing that the prof is really developing a government weapon. Along the way, Mitch is befriended by Chris (Val Kilmer), another prodigy a few years his senior who teaches the Mitch how to loosen up.
This could have degenerated into nothing more than just another teen revenge comedy, but there's so much more: the dialogue is laced with sharp wit; there are some lovely scenes that have nothing to do with the story yet are carefully set up, almost as blackouts (e.g., Mitch goes to a lecture at which a few students have left tape recorders instead of attending; later, at another lecture there are more tape recorders than students; and, in a final scene, one large tape recorder gives the lecture to a room populated by nothing but other small recorders!); and throw-away scenes that make you want to stop and back up the tape (e.g., Chris off-handedly cutting a slice off a bar of solid nitrogen to make a slug for the coffee machine).
It's also one of the few movies to boast the presence of the memorable Michelle Meyerink -- as Jordan, the "girl-nerd" who made being smart and female something to be emulated. And there's Tears for Fears great song, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" providing the perfect coda as the closing credits begin to roll . . . . Yes: really now, what's there to be embarrassed about?
女主的确一比就下去了
太好看了呜呜呜，反转又反转我爱了。安雅真的好有魅力啊。情节让我想起了一个记者的照片，拍到了战场上的医生救死扶伤但没拍到有人用枪指着医生
体会不了影片所宣传的60年代怀旧感，也体会不了本片所谓悬疑的气氛。。。
光影镜头配乐都绝赞！惊悚版午夜巴黎，谁又能拒绝夜晚的大伦敦呢？
算了，以上是我瞎说的，这部电影就是一团杂乱又精致的空洞。
才发现这导演的每部片都看过，真是个人风格越来越强化，不像同样有MTV质感名气更响的盖里奇那样踏步
1960年代西洋經典匯聚於一場電影，用驚魂迷亂還有託夢的方式來盡情揮霍。
没什么新意的故事几乎可以用一句话剧透 结尾更是拉胯 除了一贯的音乐和视觉风格在线其余乏善可陈 脱离了铁三角的埃德加赖特纵有鬼斧也砍不出什么神功
养眼的复古时尚MV，“前程似锦女孩”的同病相怜，凶杀为灵感的时装秀本是个不错的点子，但影片中这种直白复制远不如去看看McQueen的开膛手杰克和Highland Rape秀。
3.5 很喜欢前半段，以房间与睡梦为媒介，漫游伦敦光影觥筹的浮华名利场。尔后一盆冰水兜头而来，一瞬坠入深渊。后半急转直下，铅黄霓虹中导演与双女主俱灵气散尽，迎来一个不尴不尬的大团圆结尾——这点倒是也很"retro"。选歌依然很好，很好。
以恐怖悬疑片的形式，来包装一个怀旧片，满片的六十年代歌曲，像极一个大MV。而贯穿全剧的各种元素，就是一部可笑的大杂烩，更是令人生厌。片中有一句台词还不错：旧时代伦敦的味道，已经渗透到每一堵墙壁之中。确实。
好难看。虽然是个恐男的故事，但一切过于刻板印象，一看就是个男的拍的……这么精致的制作水平拍出来这个，不客气地说，是敷衍时事的讨好之作，浪费人生的半个小时后及时止损了。而且两位女演员的演技实在浮夸。
剪辑和镜头是美的 复古的。剧情是烂的不行的。

Oh no…这次埃德加赖特失手了，前半部分还可以，后半段的僵尸段落简直惨不忍睹，只有那些金曲串烧，以及凌厉剪辑能找到赖特以往的风格。以为能看到如《阴风阵阵》的铅黄气息，《冷血惊魂》的心理恐惧，没想到看了一部网大…当然托马辛妹妹和安雅的颜还是可以撑全片的。
低於預期。結尾怎麼會這麼溫馨治癒啊，整個基調就怪了。情節是很老套，但Right的個人風格和服化道場景演員都很吸睛。燈紅酒綠繁華迷幻之下到底還有多少這樣悲慘的故事呢？「男的不行」的內容真是太能引起共鳴。看完回家路上聽了一路的The Kinks。馬特史密斯你走這個路線就對了！
文本内容差强人意，风格还有回味的空间。熟悉的埃德加·赖特式转场，不过作为恐怖片，这部电影的剪辑节奏反倒比早期几部慢了许多
太难看了，想不到埃德加赖特也拍浪费资源的电影，这部电影最大的优点，也是最大的浪费，是正确选择了两个好女主
前半段很有ALL THAT JAZZ的潜质，且因为前面太抓人导致后面画风转变让人觉得龙头蛇尾。不过Edgar Wright的Visual还是很值得一看，McKenzie和Anya也是双厨狂喜了。
丧尸般的集体无意识拍久了，自己也会变成丧尸吧，一到致敬和怀念就变得了无生趣。建议同SOHO、伦敦时装学院合作改编成沉浸式戏剧
