Whenever I see La Paura I think of it as a companion piece to Eyes Wide Shut, or maybe it is the other way around. Adultery makes both films tick but in different ways. I think Phillip French was right on the money when he pointed out a Wizard of Oz thing in Kubrick's last work. Like Dorothy, Tom and Nicole go through fantasies and nightmares and at the end Dorothy's reassuring childish motto "there's no place like home" is ironically updated to the adult circumstantial adage "there's no sex like marital sex". Kubrick's take is intellectual, he never leaves the world of ideas to touch the ground. He taunts the audience first with an erotic movie and then with a thriller and refuses to deliver either of them. He was married to his third wife for 40 years, until he died. Rossellini was still married to Ingrid Bergman when he directed La Paura; they had been adulterous lovers and their infidelity widely criticized La Paura is a tale, a noirish one. The noir intrigue is solved and the tale has a happy ending. The city is noir; the country is tale, the territory where childhood is possible. The transition is operated in the most regular way: by car, a long-held shot taken from the front of the car as it rides into the road, as if we were entering a different dimension. Irene (Bergman) starts the movie: we just see a dark city landscape but her voice-over narration tells us of her angst and informs us that the story is a flashback, hers. Bergman's been cheating on her husband. At first guilt is just psychological torture but soon expands into economic blackmail and then grows into something else. From beginning to end the movie focuses on what Bergman feels, every other character is there to make her feel something. Only when the director gives away the plot before the main character can find out does he want us to feel something Bergman still can't. When she finds out, we have already experienced the warped mechanics of the situation and we may focus once again on the emotional impact it has on Bergman's Irene. In La Paura treasons are not imagined but real, nightmares are deliberate and the couple's venom suppurates in bitter ways. Needless to say, Ingrid has another of her rough rides in the movies but Rossellini doesn't dare put her away as he did in Europa 51, nor does he abandon her to the inscrutable impassivity of nature (Stromboli). His gift is less transcendent and fragile than the conclusion of Viaggio in Italia. He just gives his wife as much of a fairy tale ending as a real woman can have, a human landscape where she can finally feel at home. Back to the country, a half lit interior scene where shadows suggest the comfort of sleep. After all, it's the "fairy godmother" who speaks the last words in the movie.

吉伦哈尔真是太牛比了，绝世好演员了，为了角色豁出去的演员，独角戏也能如此精彩，整局全靠他撑住
现在越来越流行这种一两个人就能演完的片子，讲的是一个神经病救另一个精神病的故事
典型的雷大雨小，故作玄虚，结果就是罪恶感这老套的事，啥元素都没用上，啥都没记住。
剧情和2013年哈利贝瑞的剧情差不多，前者一个女主角撑起一部戏。后者一个男主角撑起一部戏。
这部电影作为杰克•吉伦哈尔个人表演值得一看，结局一切都定好了，奥利弗还活着，他也承认自己犯的错误，但这看完无法引人长时间深思。
杰克的演技一如既往优秀，本片的多次爆发戏也给他充分的自我展示空间。但面对几乎原封不动的故事，相较于原片以平淡见真章，从冷静到压抑到解脱，本片的好莱坞式三段表述还是落于下成，就像片中新增的洛杉矶大火背景，喧嚣吵闹、灰尘扑面。
这个独角戏看着挺紧张的，后半段开始快进看了，实在是剧情太无聊。
No.2410 相较原版，吉伦哈尔饰演的警察更加情绪化，甚至感觉是有精神疾病的，所以每次他情绪爆发时，都会有不适感。
心碎人救心碎人。以为是恐怖片，其实有点像恐怖直播，都是在演播厅，还不错，最后反转的时候有点惊悚。
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。
多一星给老吉吧，确实是看老吉花式炫演技，几处情绪的处理都很有感染力。但除此之外剧本还是欠打磨，又或者是改编版本加入的细节本身干扰了主线……有空品品丹麦原版。
一张桌子一个人一小时一场戏，只能通过电话那头的信息抽丝剥茧地制造悬疑推理案件，这份匠心独具该归功于本片翻拍的 2018 年丹麦原作。跟《无间道》当时的操作一样，美版改编风格更急促，主角新增了哮喘、PTSD 等极端症状以及歇斯底里的嘶吼来强调情绪气氛之焦虑紧张，本作无疑较原作镜头风格更两极分化。短板在于男主个人支线剧情的节奏插入得很怪，越往后台本造作感说教感也越重，全靠吉伦哈尔的演技撑完整场。在才能有限的剧本范围内，这个全美国我最喜欢的男演员又一次超常发挥了。
谷阿莫打卡，这个是翻拍的丹麦电影吧，一模一样的剧情
我愿意看90分钟的特写在Gyllenhaal的大脸上，虽然已经快残了，但还是让人心疼。
我饶有兴致地看了一个精神病和另一个精神病扯了一个多小时，我可能也是精神病。
心理的变化和救赎表现的不明显，全片给人刻意的感觉，转折较生硬，可以看出导演对这一题材能力不足，又一个好故事被平庸。男主演技还是可以的。
欣赏不来。。。 还以为剧情和画面会很精彩，结果就这？
但故事还是没有讲好，警察的心里转变与故事的反转都显得太过突然。
整体表现非常一般的翻拍，要不是因为看到Jake Gyllenhaal主演，我真的不一定会点开。
