Whenever I see La Paura I think of it as a companion piece to Eyes Wide Shut, or maybe it is the other way around. Adultery makes both films tick but in different ways. I think Phillip French was right on the money when he pointed out a Wizard of Oz thing in Kubrick's last work. Like Dorothy, Tom and Nicole go through fantasies and nightmares and at the end Dorothy's reassuring childish motto "there's no place like home" is ironically updated to the adult circumstantial adage "there's no sex like marital sex". Kubrick's take is intellectual, he never leaves the world of ideas to touch the ground. He taunts the audience first with an erotic movie and then with a thriller and refuses to deliver either of them. He was married to his third wife for 40 years, until he died. Rossellini was still married to Ingrid Bergman when he directed La Paura; they had been adulterous lovers and their infidelity widely criticized La Paura is a tale, a noirish one. The noir intrigue is solved and the tale has a happy ending. The city is noir; the country is tale, the territory where childhood is possible. The transition is operated in the most regular way: by car, a long-held shot taken from the front of the car as it rides into the road, as if we were entering a different dimension. Irene (Bergman) starts the movie: we just see a dark city landscape but her voice-over narration tells us of her angst and informs us that the story is a flashback, hers. Bergman's been cheating on her husband. At first guilt is just psychological torture but soon expands into economic blackmail and then grows into something else. From beginning to end the movie focuses on what Bergman feels, every other character is there to make her feel something. Only when the director gives away the plot before the main character can find out does he want us to feel something Bergman still can't. When she finds out, we have already experienced the warped mechanics of the situation and we may focus once again on the emotional impact it has on Bergman's Irene. In La Paura treasons are not imagined but real, nightmares are deliberate and the couple's venom suppurates in bitter ways. Needless to say, Ingrid has another of her rough rides in the movies but Rossellini doesn't dare put her away as he did in Europa 51, nor does he abandon her to the inscrutable impassivity of nature (Stromboli). His gift is less transcendent and fragile than the conclusion of Viaggio in Italia. He just gives his wife as much of a fairy tale ending as a real woman can have, a human landscape where she can finally feel at home. Back to the country, a half lit interior scene where shadows suggest the comfort of sleep. After all, it's the "fairy godmother" who speaks the last words in the movie.
有些老牌无聊的动作片 演员都是90年代巨星 放在现在脸上有一些难以掩盖的痕迹 动作场面设计的没新意不怎么好看外 剧情实在太不合理 来回切换三个演员 拿老掉牙的复仇传承猜忌往上按 有些不那么合适 也会很违和 不知道meggie q担当主角与她的肤色有多少关系 但效果其实很一般
老套的情节，没有新意就算了，主角人设还有些懵懂
场面还不错，可以看看。就是故事太绕弯，解释太多，影响心情和电影进度。
怎么说呢？女神复仇记这一类片子近年来非常多，但都跪在《超体》鞋底下。一动不动。
干净利落的动作，Maggie Q的颜值身材还在线，几处反转还算可以
原来Maggie Q还能担当如假包换的大主角片，还有两个大卡配戏。
暴力动作爽片，剧情可忽略不计～ 女神老了，但身材保持得很好！3
过时与复古之间是当有一条清晰的界线的，在此基础上去探讨所谓西方后殖民时代的创伤与反思只能是彻底的牵强。
毫无CP感，能不能找年龄相差不大的。谈人生，谈理想太磨叽了
Kill me or fuck me一个想上床一个想杀人
大无语，好无聊，为了看maggieQ而看，但是剧情垃圾
过时的大女主杀手片，还喜欢玩点烧脑和文艺，绕来绕去的也不算有趣，70岁的迈克尔基顿演这个角色是认真的吗，褶皱的皮肤和稀疏的头发，从头到尾的油腻感，在说出kill me or fuck me 的时候，这部电影彻底毁了。李美琪还行，没完全老去。
真的很难得还能看到MaggieQ主演的电影了，不过剧情真的一言难尽，非常混乱，前一秒还你死我活，下一秒上床做爱。
里面有我最讨厌的杀手装读书人桥段，表现方式是，随便聊起一本书，可以背诵其中的段落，另一个还能接力背诵。

一言不合就开打，从头打到尾，废话文戏少而短，金妹妹辛苦了
没有多少可圈可点之处，纯粹是为了看Magie Q，有意思的是如此俗套的戏路，竟然还能吸引“鸟人”来参演，难道也是为了美人而来？
这个剧本的故事和角色端的是“羚羊挂角无迹可求”。
