New York private detective Duncan "Mac" MacLain is blind but has keenly developed all his other senses. He pursues his work assisted by his faithful guide dog Friday, his butler, Alistair, and his assistant, Marty. Retired actress Norma Lawry, an old friend, comes to Mac seeking advice. Her headstrong 17-year-old step-daughter Barbara, herself a promising actress, is enamored with her leading man in a small theater production, the much older Lothario Paul Gerente. Paul, who had once been Norma's lover, has convinced Barbara that Norma actually wants Paul for herself and has only married her father Stephen for his money. At Mac's urging, Norma tried to reason with Paul, but he insists that he loves Barbara and laughs her off. Barbara is equally disdainful of her and agrees to meet Paul for dinner that night at his apartment.
Norma's husband Stephen Lawry is a scientist leaving that night on a trip to test a secret invention on which he has been working for the government and the war effort. Worried about Barbara, she uses a pretext not to accompany Stephen and goes to the apartment. When Barbara arrives, she finds Paul's dead body and thinks that Norma has killed him, even though Norma insists that he was dead when she arrived. Barbara threatens to call the police unless she leaves Stephen. Fearing that a scandal will hurt him, Norma agrees. Norma then turns to Mac, who goes to Paul's apartment with Friday and Marty, only to find the body and the rug under it missing. A man arrives to replace the rug and Mac hides in a closet, overhearing a telephone call to Norma's number from "Gabriel" to "Vera." Mac accidentally gives himself away, but with Friday's help overpowers Gabriel, who refuses to talk. Mac has Marty hide him to keep him under wraps.
Norma returns to her country home unexpectedly, which discourages an espionage ring that includes her butler, Hansen, from breaking into Stephen's safe and stealing his plans. They have killed Gerente, who was also an agent, and hidden the body. Mac arrives with Friday at Norma's house and pretends to be her curmudgeonly "Uncle Mac" who has come for a visit. His blindness lulls any suspicions Hansen might have about him. Shortly thereafter, Barbara comes home from an "emergency rehearsal", called to get her out of the house by her director, Cheli Scott, who inveigles an invitation to spend the night at the Lawry home. Unknown to Barbara and Norma, Cheli is the ringleader of the spies. Cheli ordered Paul killed because his affection for Barbara was beginning to limit his effectiveness, and she immediately suspects Mac is not what he seems.
Gabriel's wife Vera, the Lawrys' maid, is also a part of the plot. When Gabriel does not return home, Vera becomes hysterical with worry. Mac secretly asks Vera to meet him in the greenhouse, using her worry about Gabriel as a lure. She is observed by the others, however, and is killed by Hansen before she can reach Mac. The spies cut the house's telephone wires so that Mac and Norma cannot call the police, and Cheli has Mac locked up under guard. Using his blindness as a distraction, Mac overpowers his guard and releases Friday out a window with instructions to "go home and get Marty." Stephen arrives home and Cheli threatens his family if he does not give her the final step in creating his invention, which was not in the safe. Barbara finally realizes how much Norma actually cares for her. Mac tries to stall for time, but is locked in the cellar. When Hansen goes to kill him, Mac has broken the light bulb and his advantage of total darkness helps him overcome the spy. Marty and Friday return with the police. When Friday is spotted by a lookout, Mac overpowers him and is saved from being shot by another lookout by Friday. After the spies are captured, Stephen and Norma are off to Washington, D.C., with Barbara remaining behind to care for her new "Uncle Mac."
自反是个可以有效但危险的方法，因为如果在戳穿观众幻想的同时不回报以真诚，最终必将陷入虚无的深渊。当一个类型开始自反时，就说明它巅峰已过；而当一个创造者只会用对自己过去的解构来叙事，就说明他已经江郎才尽。全片看下来除了“无能狂怒”四个字之外，完全看不出龌龊司机还有什么想表达的
前面1.5倍速，最后30分钟2倍速看完，不要有太大的期待，再多的明星，再多的老戏骨，本质上还是抗日神片。网络上免费看看也就拉倒了，去电影院看得多糟蹋钱啊。
剧本糟糕，节奏缓慢。平铺直叙，昏昏欲睡。非常非常糟糕的电影，因为浪费了好演员。
张涵予热爱毛主席，热爱红色经典，热爱老物件儿，从谷子地开始，杨子荣到老洪，红色英雄演得形神兼备就要算他了，因为他信！ps，对着窗上的党旗宣誓，几乎落泪，这是最动人的入党宣言；最后老洪点燃身上的炸药，喃喃自语，哥儿几个，备好酒，一会见，眼泪流出来了；有信仰真好，何况这信仰有着民族主义、道德优越的加持，当然，最动人的永远是兄弟情，只是影片里抽没有过滤嘴的香烟实在诱人，还好没有谷子地吃喝的镜头（真他妈香），否则回到家，也忍不住整两口了；影像音效的质感极佳，相对于此片，昨天的扬名立万真的是小品啊！
虽然剧情老套，反转也早在意料之中，但我就喜欢这样的电影。
这导演真可以拉黑了
「以前的艺术、电影、书都要更好，那时候还有所谓原创。」不难解释莉莉的缺席，所幸拉娜用部分的创作自由，打破第四面墙，让女性觉醒，完成那身份转变的飞翔。
国产编剧已经不会写人了，没有一个人物立得起来，范伟好点有限。魏晨从铁道上起来，斗篷飘扬，张涵予列车窗口，镜头一推。还有集体宣誓入党。范伟上火车前五花大绑，跟日本长官谈判时，连个手铐都不戴，旁边一个卫兵都没有。
看完没有能记住的角色，摄影构图看着还行，片尾有点过于儿戏。
这种题材不好拍，太写实就平，夸张了又出戏。
黑客帝国三部曲已是巅峰，不得不承认，那个故事结束了。
最遗憾的是这个题材可以挖的地方那么多，最后就落到这么小的格局上有些浪费，不过作为新人导演拍成这样已经不错了，毕竟对标悬崖之上的话，整体实力还是差很多的
各种传统电影手法用得娴熟，娴熟到出现一个什么场景和细节立刻可以预知下一步会出现什么。剧情逻辑交代和衔接的很差，煽情特别尬，但是就所观察，还是有不少爱国观众看的直流眼泪。范伟走路姿势跟小品《卖拐》一模一样。
沃卓斯基姐妹的创造力终究还是不如沃卓斯基兄弟
情怀分都只能打到三星。不过人家上来就开宗明义了：华纳恰烂钱，可不是我自愿要拍的啊
不如就按照海报设计的意思去搞个视觉系演唱会。
还有说是反派死于装逼的典范，当时的力量对比下，日本人这点傲娇都没有吗？况且他们本来就是狂妄。一整个抗战背景下的一小段传奇故事，上来就给你突突了，那就没有后续了。
本以为是烂片，出乎意外地好看。途中哼起过好几次《弹起我心爱的土琵琶》。
范伟老师塑造的老王撑起了本片，其他人物性格塑造基本都不成型，氛围差不多就是个低配的《悬崖之上》
不把前三部看10几遍的人是看不懂这一部的。Matrix是我永远的神
