Max is desperate – he knows there is a real chance that he might lose Nathalie and the children.Willing to put everything on the line to keep his family intact, Max makes the biggest sacrifice of his life. Then something happens that is the very last thing he could have ever counted on…
明明不是一个无病呻吟的故事，但是拍出来的感觉各方面都好无病呻吟啊……
在Netflex烂片水准之上，导演想表达的人物和信息太多，于是会觉得一些线索和场景其实没必要。本以为会和三个广告牌一样，但这部片子更加真实，人物的发展更加可信，亦母亦姐的身份反而增强了姐妹两人之间的牵绊，不是母女更盛母女，但除了警察兄弟之外：）。
（这中文名动不动给你来个不可饶恕……还不如叫无赦之人之类的）结尾的情感浓度够浓，烈度够高，而那个替五岁小女孩顶罪的信息如果放在前面第一幕就揭示出来会不会发展成一个更好的故事，因为就目前来看前面90分钟都相当平淡和无趣。
Sandra Bullock为获奖准备的片
非常简单直线的剧情，却被导演调度得大气磅礴，感人至深，又成为桑德拉的一部代表作。
老套剧情也是 奈飞破电影 真他妈好哭 ciao
姐姐为了妹妹顶罪已经不是新鲜的剧作手法但桑德拉布洛克的表演已经超出剧本限制，局外人的身份展现出间离感
对我而言最有意思的是他作为一个出狱犯的视角。这个世界像一个人的脑袋，然后这一部分人就会承托这个世界的黑暗面，而且黑暗，向他们聚集。
美国版《我的姐姐》，不过这个姐姐可比张子枫还要惨很多倍了，在美国连手机汽车大衣都买不起的人也是困苦到极致了吧。监狱内外的人确实没什么两样，不过这话要看你从哪个角度看。
布洛克演技在。
就叙事手法看还是美帝好莱坞那个成熟电影工业的产物，好在不煽情不做作，故事结尾还有一点小反转，让人看起来感觉节奏流畅，不拖泥带水。本片对于美帝的社会现实很准确写实，刑满释放的人永远被打上标签，就像那个假释官说的，你要适应你就是个罪犯。而红脖子与城市中产阶级的嘴脸依然就是那样，根本没人能改变其顽固的观念。社会的法则就是强者生存，loser永远就是被踩在地下摩擦。而曾经的生死时速女郎更加成熟和收敛，虽然全程死人脸一样毫无生气，倒是很贴切女主的人物设定，一个替妹顶罪的底层普通人，出狱后与社会格格不入，能有什么可开心快乐的呢?可以说桑德拉的演绎是准确可靠的。不过那个警长小儿子与嫂子通奸的桥段有点突兀，可能为了激发突显大儿子复仇的戏剧冲突吧。整体来说完成度不错，现在这种现实题材好像在好莱坞越来越流行！
这种救赎题材已经拍不出啥新意了，但女主演技大爆发真的像是圣经故事出来的人一样，其他就真的没啥了。
生活会好起来的，心中的罪孽有朝一日也会得到释放。
前面那一组故弄玄虚的蒙太奇一出来就猜到真相了，故事本身很普通，但是桑德拉布洛克的演技太强了，又是要拿奖的节奏。结尾那个拥抱总算是看到了一点温暖。
这样的电影 太痛苦 极其不适合在疫情时期观看 不不不不我看电影不是为了找虐的
故事不算复杂，女主演的很好
桑德拉演技炸裂。电影里每个人都有故事。警长的两个儿子，成年后的生活不尽如人意，把一切怪罪于那个夺走了他们父亲的女人似乎是最容易的借口。ruth替妹妹背下了杀人的罪名，妹妹的小妹妹又替他承受了被绑架。最后的拥抱，ruth不敢让自己太兴奋，荧幕前的我也是，多怕katie说出一句谢谢你救了我妹妹。多怕这只是一个感谢的拥抱。
苦情，不过是在亲情上。桑德拉演技是好的，心近如死灰，受尽屈辱和摧残，忍辱负重的样子还是很有说服力的。就是剧情本身的基点，如果当时不去顶罪，以妹妹的年龄根本无须承担多少责任，本来就是一个意外，隐姓埋名，带着妹妹远走他乡，陪伴和照顾她成长不是更好吗？
之前看《生死时速》就没觉得桑德拉布洛克好看，不过这部电影让我觉得她的演技确实进步很多了，赞一个！看到老外做木工活特想笑，一路全靠铆钉，就是打满了也木有咱的榫卯结石！😜😜😜
张弛有度，收放自如！
