Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
继地心引力之后，桑姐第二次掉到水里然后重生！
爆米花片，一路“尴尬”到结尾，“我太怕再次被生活伤害，我就停止了生活”这说的不就是现在的我吗？皮特结尾还出来一趟是着实没想明白
很明显是因为看了正面才开始正眼看模特的。不辣的皮特又双叒叕笑死我了。哈利波特 a little boy with full beard
不知道为啥钱老板前两年片约突然少了，今年终于发力了。题材挺有趣，可惜剧情编排很平庸
这种没有乱七八糟ZZZQ意识形态的电影真是令人身心愉悦，我真的好喜欢肥查啊
完全冲着丹尼尔去看的，中间看困好几次，插科打诨也没啥意思，而且我真的get不到桑姐，男主虽然傻白甜了点，但是很清醒，勇于说自己是feminist，好评~
太好笑了😂钱老板贡献了本片最大看点，皮特便当领的过于草率。丹尼尔真的，典型疯批无脑反派。
钱老板出场用了赌神的背景音乐，尬住了……说真的，尽管看过很多桑德拉布洛克的电影，也曾为她的美貌倾倒，但不得不说58岁的她状态确实已经难以称得上好。典型的爆米花电影，动作喜剧加上冒险元素，卡司也不差，看到特种兵是布拉德皮特开心的笑了。以为是配角正在抢戏阶段，结果是龙套被一枪秒了。问题在于整体节奏是真的拖沓，完全不用2个小时，唯一值得欣慰的大概是看到钱老板结实的屁股和性感的背脊线。
我觉得不带脑子看的话还是挺好看的……喜剧爱情动作商业片 看看美女挺好 虽然故事一窍不通…..
就为了皮特那一小段看了这么个烂东西，再加上机翻字幕，没看完直接删了
看的很开心，有冒险，有浪漫，有风景，有钱老板的屁屁，养眼养眼。
PS：本片能让人唯一记住的高光时刻，应该就是布拉特·皮特所出场的这段时间内，虽然最后的彩蛋又是极其的鬼扯。
也就值个三星的分，不过皮特的乱入和贝壳的寓意有点打到我的点。
嗯符合烂片出好歌的定律 就是说 一把年纪了都别这么为难自己了好不好
喜欢的几个明星表演都还不错，笑点也还可以，钱宁又露臀了，对现在的RC电影来说，算合格了。
又是找几个大牌过来随便糊弄一下的电影，好随意的剧本
虽然字幕有些错了，但也不是特别影响，有挺好笑的地方，也有无聊的地方，最佳肯定是布拉德皮特了。
几小时前才刚重温 第六感生死缘 立马就看到了打酱油版brad 差距之大难以适应2412
查宁一个猛男非要装逗比，关键是皮特的串场让人莫名兴奋和突然死亡的拉胯，直到结尾的复活，搞得莫名其妙！丹尼尔可有有牛逼的飞机，却带着1-2个随从拿着气死风灯勇闯神秘岛，不知道中国产的LED大灯吗？正反角色逗比套着一个冒险的故事做着想引人发笑的台词表演，看的毫无兴奋点！
搞笑戏、寻宝戏、解谜戏、爱情戏、动作戏……都没有可圈可点之处，全片观感很平淡，演员表演全部沦陷，4个大角色合在一起干了一个不入流的片子！除了男主的腚！差评！
