Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
即便是翻拍这个分数也真的太低了，是福奎阿的镜头不好还是吉伦哈尔的表演不强？！这种怼脸的大特写对导演和演员的要求都太高了，而且人物的心理轨迹要比原版还要清晰完整，这么局促的空间内节奏好得不得了，每一个气口都位置都对，且该短短该长长的（除了结尾厕所戏结尾长的有点狗尾续貂），豆瓣这评分是不是有点装大了？！
谷阿莫打卡，这个是翻拍的丹麦电影吧，一模一样的剧情
男主角这种偏执狂，扔到人群里，就是一颗随时要炸的手榴弹。他还是一个警察，那就是颗导弹了。剧情实在给男主开了太多光环了，一个神经病会听他歇斯底里的语无伦次？通讯中心就任由他上蹿下跳？其实老美是很在意对方情绪管理的。如果没有剧情加持，可以想象这样性格的人会在自以为救人的情况下伤害多少人。实在无法共情男主。吉伦哈尔演戏时候的度如果再不收一收，就快成为马景涛了。
不因主演的话，我是不会看这部电影的，感觉奈飞的好剧/电影不多。
一个场景就把戏演了，太厉害了... Emily 只有声音也挺厉害的。
基本复刻丹麦版，加上去的细节有些多余，全靠杰伦哈尔的演技撑住。
是蛇吗？这句话，我不知道丹麦版是怎么讲述的，但这部电影里总感觉少了点什么，但只要记住蛇是精神病患者艾米丽对杀人的代词，做出错误的正义
911接线员 这工作太stressful了
别人基本没有出镜啊，只有他一个人，半夜三更在911呼叫中心接电话，以为一个女人被绑架了，却是一个丈夫在制服一个精神病妻子，还有两个可怜的孩子，小的儿子被妈妈"从肚子里取出了蛇"，而大一点的女儿在打911，事实的反转也逆转了他自己：he was wrong, broken people save broken people, 最后，那个崩溃的他知晓那崩溃的一家子还有希望时，内心应该是释然的，还有那放纵的哭，终于不打算撒谎了，放弃了那个所谓的plan，或许他也承认自己deserve it！
What an unpleasant character in an unpleasant film. Couldn't wait for it to be over. Poorly executed.
这是秀杰克的演技啊。其实the guilty说是负罪感更贴切。
7分。丹麦版本的翻拍，没啥新意。一些细节上的修正也没什么特别的。不过Jake Gyllenhaal的表演还是很不错的，基本上，也就是靠他的表演撑起这部小成本片了~~~
7/10。主角缺陷极多，所以看似反个人英雄主义叙事，实际还是个人英雄主义。剧作严谨，台词细腻，不过，故事魅力在于反转却并不高明，因为主角的一切缺点反而过早地暴露了反转的目的，观众一猜就中。如果换人来演不一定及格，老吉演技实在太突出。片尾Credit出人意料，没想到一批大腕以voice形式出现在了电话的另一端。
broken people save broken people. 特省钱系列电影
一星杰伦哈尔的睫毛，一星杰伦哈尔上翘的嘴角，一星……就这样吧
紧张感做的还不错，吉伦哈尔表演感觉微微过于用力了。
吉伦哈尔的表演课。
吉伦哈尔演太过了，虽然还没看原版，但是这个故事从丹麦搬到美国就意味着俗套的情节不可避免的上演。其实丽莉·吉欧的声音出演也很不错啊，大量哭戏，情绪凭借声音就烘托出来了
老吉独角戏，一个人撑起全场。没看过原版的前提下，已经觉得男主角处理方式很不对劲，但报警人的电话的确让人听得不耐烦，不知不觉情绪就跟着主角走，越来越烦躁。
broken people save brken people。从一开始就目不转睛，代入感太强了。源代码老铁演技也是太强了。毕竟全局都只有他，但渲染的氛围却历历在目！强！
