Siskel and Ebert once ran a special show entitled "Movies I'm Embarrassed to Admit I Liked." I suppose that if I composed such a list of guilty pleasures, this one would be one of them . . . but upon reflection, it's really a lot better than that. Fifteen year-old science prodigy Mitch (Gabe Jarret) is recruited by ambitious college professor William Atherton (in yet another of his patented roles as a loathsome character) to work on the professor's prize laser project, not knowing that the prof is really developing a government weapon. Along the way, Mitch is befriended by Chris (Val Kilmer), another prodigy a few years his senior who teaches the Mitch how to loosen up.
This could have degenerated into nothing more than just another teen revenge comedy, but there's so much more: the dialogue is laced with sharp wit; there are some lovely scenes that have nothing to do with the story yet are carefully set up, almost as blackouts (e.g., Mitch goes to a lecture at which a few students have left tape recorders instead of attending; later, at another lecture there are more tape recorders than students; and, in a final scene, one large tape recorder gives the lecture to a room populated by nothing but other small recorders!); and throw-away scenes that make you want to stop and back up the tape (e.g., Chris off-handedly cutting a slice off a bar of solid nitrogen to make a slug for the coffee machine).
It's also one of the few movies to boast the presence of the memorable Michelle Meyerink -- as Jordan, the "girl-nerd" who made being smart and female something to be emulated. And there's Tears for Fears great song, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" providing the perfect coda as the closing credits begin to roll . . . . Yes: really now, what's there to be embarrassed about?
桑德拉饱经打击，阴沉凝重的脸色要到结尾才知道是何等的忍辱负重，为了爱做出多大的牺牲。从一出场就为她揪心，不知如何才能开始新生。喜欢她强韧率直的性格。无辜警长大儿子与小儿媳的偷情时间和地点太莫名其妙了，明知道弟弟在等着自己去接班监视仇人，竟然还在弟弟家与弟媳出轨，无脑之极。
为什么有人可以把委屈和痛苦演绎的这么真实啊，上次看到这种教科书级的演绎还是《海边的曼彻斯特》，让我看看是谁这么厉害，哦原来是我的女神桑德拉！
结尾姐妹相拥，不用铺垫就直接拥抱，姐姐瞬间明白妹妹都记得知道，却安心接受。细思极恐，鸡皮疙瘩一地。
虽然把我整破防了，虽然桑德拉演技炸裂，但不妨碍这破剧情看得我血压特别高！
后半段确实…崩坏得很严重…五岁小孩怎么拿起猎枪的…女主演技很好
剧情有点老套，不过导演功力不错，情绪调度好。不过说实话无论她是否是凶手，这个故事都一直成立甚至会更有讨论价值，因此后来那个twist有点没必要。
所以家里有枪的要把它锁好，小朋友拿了很危险的。
在社会认知愈发扁平化、标签化的当下，个体的阶级、过往往往代表了他人眼中的全部。我觉得原因既是阶级差异、也有信息时代对社会意识的重塑。She's unforgivable, because they won't. 一众卡斯虽然算不上大明星，但个个都是实力派。Sandra Bullock这绝对是影后级别的表演，开场一个眼神就写满了牢狱之灾与精神折磨的苦楚。
一切为了不给5岁小孩抹黑值不值得，因“血浓于水”而含冤受苦的自我感动伟不伟大？大女主的冲奖片，竟然提名也没有
当所有人都在谈论和解的时候，片中反复出现的“you're a cop killer everywhere you go”才是世间的真实吧/女主演技值得加一星
结局那一抱出乎意料，但喜大普奔是否就是最好的结局呢？
桑德拉这真的是向影后冲的啊，演技太到位了，无依之地可以，为什么这个不可以！想到之前燕外之意的一集，原谅的成本是多少呢？愿意原谅的人永远才是最勇敢的。而犯罪呢，如果社会拒绝接纳，那为什么不一开始设下死刑，监狱的意义又在哪里呢？有时间再翻翻福柯
2022-13。开头的镜头还算干净清楚，节奏不紧不慢。水产工厂的追求者有点跑题，养父母的态度相互转变和最后的喜相逢就很突兀。本不复杂的故事，非要加入很多其他情节，让它看起来有点复杂其实无关
3.5吧，桑德拉演技牛逼，但是剧情太一般，看前面就猜到后面，最后是不是都怨枪…
故事没有太大创新，朴素镜头挖掘人间大爱，想当然的用残酷的真实来触及观众的内心，这一切也都因为桑婆的非凡演技变得合理。努力公关一下，奥斯卡提名不成问题。
博同情故事，秀情感大戏，女主整容后时代来临，有点变形的假面看起来肥肠难受
生活碾压我们一次还嫌不够，还要持续性的，是嫌我们还不够苦逼吗？
女主表演很投入，但剧本不太现实，试问五岁小孩开枪杀人也不用坐20年牢，女主这是用自己20年换妹妹一个好前程？未免有些扯

桑德拉演技炸裂。电影里每个人都有故事。警长的两个儿子，成年后的生活不尽如人意，把一切怪罪于那个夺走了他们父亲的女人似乎是最容易的借口。ruth替妹妹背下了杀人的罪名，妹妹的小妹妹又替他承受了被绑架。最后的拥抱，ruth不敢让自己太兴奋，荧幕前的我也是，多怕katie说出一句谢谢你救了我妹妹。多怕这只是一个感谢的拥抱。
