The story appears simple on the surface, but is revealed, especially after multiple viewings, as more multi-layered and textured than Cassavetes at his best. Ostensibly it concerns a 14-year old Catholic girl, Wynne (Agutter) growing up in this post-modern wasteland, who develops a crush on her much older adoptive brother (Marshall)- a crush which perversely deepens and grows into infatuation once she starts to believe he is the local sex killer. This is in itself an idea that makes you sit up and jolt, but as the narrative develops, it continues not necessarily along a linear path but in several confusing and fascinating directions: the family's history, (detailed effectively in chilling flashback during an improvised seance) is a chequered one, and has suffered at least one major relocation and upheaval in the last ten years. At the crux, however, it's the depiction of socialal changes that make I Start Counting so fascinating and elevate its language far beyond the confines of the standard horror film. The major subtext- that teenage girls were maturing more quickly than before, and developing full sexual and romantic appetites (even if in thought rather than deed) but were not possessed of enough discretion to make the right choices- was a step forward for a genre in which its young females had previously been portrayed as bimbo victims (Cover Girl Killer and The Night Caller spring to mind), but not one that all viewers would necessarily agree with. But most striking of all, and possibly the most enduring image which the viewer will take away with them, is of the masterful symbolism with which director Greene invests every shot. Every inch of the Kinch family's world- their house, their walls, their TV, Agutters underwear, bedroom furniture and toys, Sutcliffe's clothes, Marshalls van, the local Catholic church, their town centre, their record shop) - is painted a bright, scintillating white- a white which, by inference, is slowly becoming smudged and corrupted with the dirt of the outside world. White also symbolises, of course, purity and innocence (two qualities Catholic schoolgirls are supposed to hold dear), and it is into this world of innocence that the ever-present red bus (a symbol of violation and penetration), conducted by the lecherous yet similarly juvenile Simon Ward, makes regular journeys. The allegory is further expanded in one scene where Agutter believes she sees the Christ figure in church weeping blood: by the time we acknowledge it, its gone, but the seed has already been planted. Rarely in a genre production has the use of colour and background been so important or effective in creating a uniformity of mood. I Start Counting is as near-perfect an end to a decade as one could hope for, and exactly the kind of film people should be making now- which is, of course, exactly why they never will. A genre essential. by D.R.
刚从徐克的魔改狄仁杰过来，相比之下，这部电影明显在台词设计，镜头运用等很多方面显得稚嫩，但是比魔狄系列好看太多，中国武侠的文化是什么，初心是什么，不是叠加一堆特效就能显示的。
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。
“杀一个人要以命抵命，杀几千人就不用了，这道理你都不懂？”
盲眼“捉刀人”的设定真的很戳我，正所谓“侠之大者，为国为民”，成瞎子眼盲心不盲，怀揣一腔孤勇，凭借一身绝技，守着心中侠道，践行人世正义。一瞬间，竟让我感觉那个武侠百花齐放的时代好像又回来了。世间多心盲之人，笑侠者蚍蜉撼大树，但幸好还有成瞎子这样的侠者存在，他们在，公道就在。敬江湖，敬侠者。
很好很好的侠客电影，美术很好，场景很好，演员很好
作为网大，拍摄很精致了，尤其是开头，后期有些松了，雪中那个结尾，够院线感，但整体上，在摄影构图和层次空间上，还不够院线感，也许是拍摄设备和场景设计的关系吧，不够深广大宽，不够大银幕，但作为小屏幕也很精致，给三星是因为瞎子的对白太多，情绪感太强，要让瞎子做到冷，狠，话少且带有灭世之气，而剧作上，简简单单平平无奇，所以不够四星。谢苗的气场还是很足，是个演员的苗子。
天，我哭得好大声。我要给最后那段vlog十颗星。 （虽然嫁潮汕男真的要慎重 放大标红加粗 但是如果真的有正缘这种东西，就是无论如何都不会错过的那种吧
（仿佛看到了5年后的自己）
别的不说，这个外省离异媳妇让本不想结婚的我某些瞬间都有了想结婚的欲望。 地方宗族对女性的压迫与不公，以及陈旧守旧观念与现代都市的碰撞。
大家都这么喜欢简单粗暴了吗？戾气当前，跳过司法，直出的快意恩仇、杀人偿命是最让普通人接受的。片中的金句不少，比如“杀(骗一个人是犯罪，死(骗一万个人就不是了”……
武侠感很够，动作虽然还是有些慢动作的无聊，但整体还是流畅犀利的，场景有几处很美，谢苗惊喜了，4星支持一下吧。
难得一见的广东题材，后半段有些垮掉了，但是潮汕妈妈的角色真的要点赞
目中无人，心有公道。目中无人者，瞎；心有公道者，侠。网大瞎侠，小成本精品武侠，动作和台词都挺干脆，不差。
虽然很多地方也显得幼稚，故事简陋至极，倒是整体不错，动作部分还有惊喜，谢苗是个好演员，在这种网大里有些埋没人才了
3.5分。 谢苗的张涵予化，说不上演技到底多么高超，但的确适合他了，他找到了《集结号》里谷子地的状态，一个为了固执地不断追求某个信念的形象，看着还算过瘾。 不过这片子给人最大的感受，有两点，一个是对香港老派武侠片的复古，江湖与庙堂，草芥与权贵，公道与私利，这些极端二元对立的命题，在这部片子里再次得到重现。另一个则是香港黄金时期动作片里的“尽皆过火，尽是癫狂”的味道，用酒味来辨识方位，用刀刃来擦起火花，将琴弦用作杀人武器，皆是如此。
好座头市！以及，主演竟然是谢苗！我完全没看出来……
完成度很高，不过故事很平，没什么吸引力。时长这么短，其实完全可以加长的。
影像质感上要比普通网大强出一个身位，就是剧本没跟上，所以也没几场文戏，全靠剪辑和动作撑下来，谢苗饰演的捉刀人有日本盲侠的概念，结尾黑夜落雪也是营造出主角眼盲的万籁俱寂感。
故事简洁，镜头语言不错。虽然不是武侠爱好者，但是很喜欢其中的画面。尤其是雪夜一人一马，世界黑白分明。
首先说这片子还是可以的！很符合我对大侠的感受！但，虽说我对历史细节不是很了解，可这片子里很多地方，服饰，镜头，色彩，感觉，都是披着大唐名号的日本盲侠........希望导演少抖机灵，沉淀下来！脚踏实地！实事求是！.
