While surveying a telegraph line in 1861, Western Union engineer Edward Creighton (Dean Jagger) is severely injured in an accident. He is discovered by Vance Shaw (Randolph Scott), an outlaw on the run from a posse. Forced to travel on foot after his horse was hurt, Shaw at first considers stealing Creighton's horse, but changes his mind and takes the man with him, saving his life.
Sometime later, following his recovery, Creighton returns to Omaha, Nebraska and plans the construction of a telegraph line from Omaha to Salt Lake City, Utah. Facing considerable opposition to the line from Confederate soldiers, Indians, and outlaws, Creighton elicits the help of his sister Sue (Virginia Gilmore), foreman Pat Grogan (Minor Watson), and assistant Homer Kettle (Chill Wills).
Looking to put his outlaw past behind him, Shaw arrives at Creighton's Western Union office looking for honest work and is hired as a scout by Grogan who is unaware of his past. Creighton recognizes him among the men and allows him to stay despite his suspicions. Creighton also hires tenderfoot Richard Blake (Robert Young), a Harvard-educated engineer as a favor to Blake's father. Shaw and Blake are both attracted to Sue and vie for her attention, but their romantic rivalry is cut short when construction of the telegraph line starts on July 4, 1861.
After work commences on the line, one of the men is killed apparently by a mysterious band of cattle-rustling Indians. Unconvinced that Indians are to blame, Shaw rides out to investigate and follows the rustlers' trail to the camp of Jack Slade, a former friend and cohort, whose gang committed the killing disguised as Indians—the gang Shaw left following his last bank robbery. Slade reveals that they are working for the Confederacy to disrupt Western Union because they believe the telegraph service will help the Union. Shaw rides away and returns to the line. Not wanting to turn in his former friends, Shaw tells Creighton that a large band of Dakota Indians stole the cattle, and recommends that they simply replace the herd and not risk a fight with the Indians.
Sometime later, a confrontation takes place between men working on the forward line and a band of drunken Indians. When one of the Indians tries to steal some equipment, a nervous Blake shoots him, ignoring Shaw's order to remain calm. After word arrives that the main camp is under attack by other Indians, the Western Union men rush back to help with the defense. At the main camp, Slade's men, who are again disguised as Indians, steal the Western Union horses. The company discover the ruse when one of the wounded Indians turns out to be a white man. Forced to buy back their stolen horses from Slade, Creighton becomes suspicious of Shaw's involvement, especially when he admits to knowing the gang.
Soon the U.S. Army arrives and announces the Indians have now refused to allow the telegraph lines to go through their territory in response to Blake's shooting of the drunken Indian. Creighton, Shaw, and Blake ride out to convince Chief Spotted Horse to allow them to build the line through Indian territory, even though the man Blake wounded was Spotted Horse's son. Creighton is finally able to persuade the Indians to allow them passage, and work continues until the company approaches Salt Lake City.
Sometime later, Shaw receives word that Jack Slade wants to meet with him. On the way to see Slade, Shaw is captured and bound by Slade's men. Slade says his group is going to burn down the Western Union camp and they don't want Shaw to interfere. After Slade and his men ride off, Shaw escapes from his ropes but arrives back too late to prevent the fire. He helps rescue some of the Western Union men from the flames and burns his hands in the process.
After the fire, Creighton confronts Shaw for an explanation, but Shaw does not reveal what he knows and is fired by Creighton. As Shaw leaves the camp, he tells Blake that Slade is actually Shaw's brother and that he, Shaw, will find Slade's gang and stop them from interfering with the telegraph project. Shaw rides off and finds Slade and his men in a nearby town. At the barber shop, Shaw confronts his brother, whose gun is concealed under the barber's sheet. Slade shoots Shaw through the sheet. Shaw fights back in spite of his wound, killing some of the gang members, and then dies. Blake arrives and continues the fight with Slade who dies from his wounds. Soon after, the Western Union line is completed and the workers celebrate. When Sue laments the absence of Shaw, Creighton tells her that Shaw can hear them.
距离第一部过去都五年了，这五年短视频飞速发展，带动了类似爽片的热度，加上极度不景气的电影行业，期待这种片子的人就更多了。各种电影解说把片中人名换个外号，随便剪剪其中的动作场面都能获得几万赞。说回电影，延续了第一部的情节设置，一拳超人马东锡独挑大梁，干翻杀人不眨眼的暴力罪犯，从越南追回韩国。饰演大反派的孙锡久（有点像我的一个前同事）之前在《恋爱缺席的罗曼史》和《我的解放日志》里演的都是斯斯文文略带腼腆的男人，在这部里，一百八十度大变身，一言不合就砍人，胸前还纹着汉字“不惧xx（没看清）”，结局肯定逃不过要被马东锡暴揍。
什么会计啊，厨子啊，裁缝啊都尽量不要去惹了
开头节奏有点慢，绅士风拿捏了。总体没有特别惊艳不过还是蛮有意思的妹子来历不清不楚，老头目的是当和平使者吗？
一如既往地干！往死里干！马东锡10年终于混出来了！看到的是重拳出击，估计也得上百磅吧？忽然想起之前说泰森和成龙打，谁会赢？泰森的拳头好像有几百磅吧，一头牛都能干死，别说人了。在绝对力量面前什么套路都是白搭！马东锡加油啊
硕大的裁缝剪在布料上穿梭游走，一如形似木讷的老裁缝在黑帮内斗中灵活腾挪——九成依赖里朗斯大叔精湛演技撑起的准独幕剧。
同样是裁缝，同样搞地下活动，如果《Kingsman》能拍成这样也比现在吃老本走下坡路强啊。全片被浓缩在一个小小的裁缝店，背叛、窃听、谋杀，一样不少，不过感觉反派们吃亏在“录音机”刚刚问世、尚未普及，不然这一计谋从一开始就要被拆穿。男主不慌不忙地下套、使绊，随机应变、信口开河的功夫确实了得，人生经历的设定也着实起伏，曾经的花臂大佬拿起了绣花针，但关键时候照样可以心狠手辣。
令人惊喜的年度黑马作品，把“裁剪”这个元素做双关伏笔，串起了50s西装笔挺的芝加哥黑帮古典暴力和一个精心拼接的故事。久违的舞台剧式的回转结构，Mark Rylance演技依旧顶级。
略有bug不过整体不错，悬疑拉满，演技精湛
拍得没太多出彩的地方
难得看了一部又新 又正常 又好的电影。拍的不完美，尤其是结局，但是显然已经很不错了。小场景悬疑片。
一间小裁缝店，一个晚上，挺舞台剧的感觉，全靠演员飙演技。（最后大花臂什么的，完全没有感受到力量啊哈哈哈
“我是哈尔滨的张谦，小兔崽子！”“我们55分”“谁拿5？”哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈笑不活了。整体还是第一部的套路，但反派没有张谦塑造的完整个性。虽然也有搞笑，有点人情味，但比第一部还是弱了点。整体还是保持了1的水准。
硬反转太多，单一空间设置没有充分利用空间，逻辑硬伤颇多。
2022-4-15. 动机不足、剪辑多余、黑帮太蠢、反转生硬。
全片最好的段子是：“我们五五分吧？”“谁拿五啊？”
拍得没太多出彩的地方
可能期待太高，觉得也不过如此。一个想做好人的黑帮大boss的故事，反转和悬念都比较平平无奇。但摄影风格实在是很喜欢，特别是那泛黄的色调，爱了爱了。
韩国流民也是一个臭德行啊，出国专坑自己人。
略有bug不过整体不错，悬疑拉满，演技精湛
没有那么好，但也不算糟糕，算是日渐萧条的好莱坞，重新拍了一部合格的室内悬疑片。
