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.
坏蛋挺能打的，那么有钱的富翁派那么多杀手居然干不掉两个土匪。马东锡很搞笑，跟甄子丹李连杰的潇洒动作片不同，马东锡就是靠猛靠壮靠力量。警察里面能打的也就是马东锡了。
反派长得有点帅的 但打还是哈尔滨张谦会打 | 220725 with Ken
这种片子就是要无脑爽，没想到世界影坛的动作爽片好看韩国的了
受不了了……我今晚就要和马东锡睡觉！！！！哭出声。
没有吹嘘的那么好，剧情实在过于简单，为了变态而变态，坏蛋跟主角的即战力也差距太大了。
能看到神·马东锡暴揍对方，就已经很爽了不是吗？还要啥自行车呢
这部的反派毫无魅力，张谦蛋能全方位吊打……
晚上整理网站无意间点进这个电影页面，然后就看了几分钟发现还蛮好看的，就索性熬夜刷，打戏很精彩，拳拳到肉，马东锡依旧那么能打，毕竟吨位摆在这，打的姜海尚想哭都哭不出来，这姜海尚也是挺狠的，见一个捅一个，砍人利索，下手快准狠，脑子也好使，唯一的缺点就是砍人没有特写。。
音效顶满了，听着比打上去的重好多倍，笑死
三星半，很纯粹的喜剧犯罪动作电影，好适合马东锡，这个反派太变态了
我这一巴掌下去你可能会死，动作戏纯粹干净利落
相比第一部更显平庸一点，只剩下超级英雄马东锡。
橘子精外传哈哈哈，谁看到马东锡这外形敢跟他打啊，那个非法偷渡者的选择才是最明智的
这部的反派毫无魅力，张谦蛋能全方位吊打……
《罪恶都市2》整体都很好，节奏明快递进自然，调皮、幽默、暴力，邪恶融合的相得益彰，但最大的败笔就是把这个反派写得还不是太坏，或许因为太帅，如果这个《我的解放日志》的孙锡久足够坏的话，这次反派应该能赢，可惜了！QJ
真·一拳入魂了。奈何孙锡久这么魅力罪犯，遇到马东锡也只有挨打的份儿。较上一部更具喜感，剧情更简单，甚至有些无脑。不过动作戏还在水准，虽然没有上部更凌厉明快，有个一镜到底的单挑戏还算可以。
从出场就在宣告马东锡已等同于超级英雄的存在，暴力实施抓捕，群众围观拍照，同行从中阻挠，这都是复仇者联盟一般的待遇。包括结尾制伏孙锡久后又再一次还原这份特殊性，停在了一个人走出行车隧道远离事发现场的画面上。而回归最本质的动作场面，也延续了第一部的爽感，壮硕的身材换来的绝对压制还是更能带来分分钟高潮的感官享受。
非常标准的韩国商业动作片。制作水平依旧在线不拉垮，节奏张弛有度娱乐性很强。马东锡以不变应万变，即便是在模板式的韩国类型片里，创作者们依旧在人物设计和一些细节上力求新意，比如睿智冷静的被绑架者夫人、马东锡拳拳到肉之外的粗中有细的动作设计等等。和第一部少了些惊艳和名场面，孙锡久饰演的反派虽然精彩但少了些层次，碍于剧本上所有角色都提线木偶完成注定的功能属性，所以可惜了正邪对决上没有第一部的立体爽感。看优秀的韩国商业片时总在想，如果香港电影如今还保持活跃和高产，会是一番什么样的景象呢。
还是那位嫉恶如仇的暴力刑警：神马东锡！依旧打打打！照样爽爽爽！最惨莫过于队长莫名中刀、开枪卡壳。。。那老规矩，7分、3星吧。
这一部的反派实在太弱了，无论是智力，武力还是组织能力，和第一部的张谦根本没法比，像一个不听话爱惹事的b崽子。
