Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
就只想看一部让人热血沸腾的爽片，这部电影正好满足我的期待。
现在中国内娱这个空中粪坑，任何不屎的作品都值得五星。我欠这片子六块钱。
和朋友去吃部队火锅迟到了半小时，进去电影院他们已经在汕头了。不刻意煽情，不刻意搞笑，这两点让我很快就进入故事。也许留白比全方位的娓娓道来在短时间里更适合用来推进剧情，有了生活经验后，在背景音乐和空镜头里，便能读懂人物的内心。很喜欢最后vlog视角里的妈妈~
瑕疵当然还有许多瑕疵 但是近年来这种简单干脆的故事已经不多了 这本是华语武侠电影的方向 直接 纯粹 却夹杂了太多桎梏 没有了资本的束缚 反而可以空手一搏 谢苗本是童星出道 原本和释小龙是有望接班国内动作明星位置的 可是时运不济 一直没能再次出圈挤入一线 不知道该说是资源不好还是运气不佳 但愿未来能有所转机
还原我们潮汕家庭的婚姻观念，他妈简直跟我妈一模一样
一眼丁真，鉴定为：平庸及格。
一语双关的片名在打出的瞬间就将影片的形与魂直接苍劲绘出。导演的这种心思与美术功底注定了这片子不会差，不过粗糙简单的故事底子使得影片有些像证明自己能力的学生作品。不用故事征艳，而是用审美、技法、配乐、调度来向资本与观众证明自己不俗的实力。杨秉佳也确实做到了。继徐浩峰之后国产能够让人眼前一亮的兵器打斗，杂糅进John Wick式流畅杀戮搭配上黑白色调的写意背景，让观众着实酣畅淋漓。急促鼓点也让影片的质感上升了一个台阶，希望爱奇艺能够多多营销这部影片吧。
问一旁的我妈"你能接受我娶外地而且离过婚的回家？""接受不了""那你还说人家封建？"
真不错哈哈，民风民俗也有，家长里短也有，小家的故事透着国情，确实是挺有意思的小故事…
受限于成本，场景不大，属于箱庭式的格局，但表现出的场面不小，再加上动作顺畅，观感还是不错的，打光和场景设置都不错，有质感。一个小时左右的时间正好，不多不少。
武侠爽剧，剧情简单但不拖沓。打戏流畅刺激，果然这种打戏还是得请专业人员上场。瞎子的造型总让我想到了雷佳音的张小敬，但是雷佳音的打戏应该是不太行的。
22年6.10号唐山烧烤店几个壮汉骚扰、围殴女性事件，现实里可没有电影里的功夫大侠。悲哀啊！气愤啊！鲁迅:今日我若冷眼旁观，他日祸临己身，则无人为我摇旗呐喊！
这个结局其实不咋现实，但其实也不无可能，我爸就娶了个江西老婆，以至于我从小没少被叫“外省仔”。
一部标准的动作电影，放在网大里就成了拔尖，可见观众被粗制滥造的国产网大荼毒成啥样了……动作戏用心了
功名无趣，坛酒散千金；
在娱乐片冲刺着流量面孔，浓妆艳抹的影视中，该片充斥着真实感，事件，人物，习俗，爱情等与现实接近，这一点很难得。
真实又温暖的一部片子，从头感动到尾。浓浓的潮汕味道，传统、团结，开头车子追尾的情节，就打到了我这个“外省”的。片中母亲勤劳坚韧，令人动容。不止潮汕，我认识的客家女性、他省女性亦如此。关于婚姻，从反对到包容，习俗虽不尽相同，终究敌不过强大的母爱。
鼓励这部电影远超预期。故事可爱又有点辛酸但是更可爱。演员们的质朴表演完全把我拉入潮汕生活。之前潮汕朋友常常在我耳边提及他们当地严苛的传统风俗，对于缔结婚姻的百般讲究、家庭里的男女角色、兄弟姐妹的地位责任关系等等，非常overwhelming。好在电影用轻量的喜剧来表现外省女友与潮汕当地社会意识的冲突，把潮汕人的家庭信仰和可爱面都表现出来了，看到了文化隔阂些许融化的可能性，人的柔软心底是共通的，「理解」是人与人之间得以平顺的最终答案。潮汕的节俗文化也有非常有趣丰富的呈现，给心中想去潮汕旅行的那把小火，添燃了薪柴。看过的人还是不够多，五颗星弥补性支持！
m22108：雪夜窗台，摄影光影很赞。人瞎心不瞎，苦命人互助。故事需再打磨打磨。
真不错！素人带着市井气走上荧幕，细腻的情感，浓浓的生活气息，鲜活的潮汕风味。真实接地气的风土人情方言片在刻意做作的虚情假意的文艺泛滥的年代，真是一股清流啊
