New York private detective Duncan "Mac" MacLain is blind but has keenly developed all his other senses. He pursues his work assisted by his faithful guide dog Friday, his butler, Alistair, and his assistant, Marty. Retired actress Norma Lawry, an old friend, comes to Mac seeking advice. Her headstrong 17-year-old step-daughter Barbara, herself a promising actress, is enamored with her leading man in a small theater production, the much older Lothario Paul Gerente. Paul, who had once been Norma's lover, has convinced Barbara that Norma actually wants Paul for herself and has only married her father Stephen for his money. At Mac's urging, Norma tried to reason with Paul, but he insists that he loves Barbara and laughs her off. Barbara is equally disdainful of her and agrees to meet Paul for dinner that night at his apartment.
Norma's husband Stephen Lawry is a scientist leaving that night on a trip to test a secret invention on which he has been working for the government and the war effort. Worried about Barbara, she uses a pretext not to accompany Stephen and goes to the apartment. When Barbara arrives, she finds Paul's dead body and thinks that Norma has killed him, even though Norma insists that he was dead when she arrived. Barbara threatens to call the police unless she leaves Stephen. Fearing that a scandal will hurt him, Norma agrees. Norma then turns to Mac, who goes to Paul's apartment with Friday and Marty, only to find the body and the rug under it missing. A man arrives to replace the rug and Mac hides in a closet, overhearing a telephone call to Norma's number from "Gabriel" to "Vera." Mac accidentally gives himself away, but with Friday's help overpowers Gabriel, who refuses to talk. Mac has Marty hide him to keep him under wraps.
Norma returns to her country home unexpectedly, which discourages an espionage ring that includes her butler, Hansen, from breaking into Stephen's safe and stealing his plans. They have killed Gerente, who was also an agent, and hidden the body. Mac arrives with Friday at Norma's house and pretends to be her curmudgeonly "Uncle Mac" who has come for a visit. His blindness lulls any suspicions Hansen might have about him. Shortly thereafter, Barbara comes home from an "emergency rehearsal", called to get her out of the house by her director, Cheli Scott, who inveigles an invitation to spend the night at the Lawry home. Unknown to Barbara and Norma, Cheli is the ringleader of the spies. Cheli ordered Paul killed because his affection for Barbara was beginning to limit his effectiveness, and she immediately suspects Mac is not what he seems.
Gabriel's wife Vera, the Lawrys' maid, is also a part of the plot. When Gabriel does not return home, Vera becomes hysterical with worry. Mac secretly asks Vera to meet him in the greenhouse, using her worry about Gabriel as a lure. She is observed by the others, however, and is killed by Hansen before she can reach Mac. The spies cut the house's telephone wires so that Mac and Norma cannot call the police, and Cheli has Mac locked up under guard. Using his blindness as a distraction, Mac overpowers his guard and releases Friday out a window with instructions to "go home and get Marty." Stephen arrives home and Cheli threatens his family if he does not give her the final step in creating his invention, which was not in the safe. Barbara finally realizes how much Norma actually cares for her. Mac tries to stall for time, but is locked in the cellar. When Hansen goes to kill him, Mac has broken the light bulb and his advantage of total darkness helps him overcome the spy. Marty and Friday return with the police. When Friday is spotted by a lookout, Mac overpowers him and is saved from being shot by another lookout by Friday. After the spies are captured, Stephen and Norma are off to Washington, D.C., with Barbara remaining behind to care for her new "Uncle Mac."
原意或许是拍成Why Patrizia Kill的黑色喜剧，但成品在女性视角的豪门抓马和品牌脱胎换骨转型历程间头重脚轻，以至于Gaga被复仇火焰点亮的面孔在TF总监首秀光影下闪现之时，只有不知惊悚还是严肃的氛围突袭措手不及的好笑。导演显而易见地机械制造，巨制和星光的顶级平台背后是项目定位自身摇摆不定的心虚，就像七八十年代缺失新血暮气沉沉的家族企业，服装化妆打光摄影场景调度无可挑剔，因此四平八稳的工整手法加上绝顶刻奇的意式英语才让包装成巧克力的屎尝起来更糟心。表演的各行其是和剧本的重点模糊都很突出，古典摩登交织的配乐却与剧情配合绝佳。结尾字幕浮现时联想此前似有若无的暧昧线索，难道这竟是一部暗暗歌颂Tom Ford和Domenico De Sole的伟大合作力挽狂澜成就今日Gucci的时尚宣传？
整部电影除了lady gaga和偶尔出镜的GUCCI包包你不知道该夸谁。不像电影更像纪录片。冲突戏太少剧情过于平淡。
turns out我没有预期是对的，要是观影期待Lady Gaga的stardom或者是豪门家族的八卦或是犯罪动机的分析那肯定会有点失望。
因为知道G家族的故事，所以看的时候没有任何intrigue，看到一半的时候觉得自己在看一个美剧。LG的表演前后几乎一致，看久了就视觉疲劳严重。AD也演的平平，Leto演的最有意思～其实全片最赞的应该是production design-ArthurMax~配乐偶尔不错偶尔很差，口音的选择不想说了，总体问题太多，能回本就不错了，这么大一个制作。
在电影院看的。人为财死，鸟为食亡，欠债还钱，杀人偿命。
我嘎的文戏虽然烂得姑妈都被气复活了，但是床戏超级经验丰富和专业嘛！
很特别的人物变化线路，结尾不知道是什么主题，但就是莫名好笑。喜剧无疑了。
哎呀好久没看过这么古典手法叙事的电影了，果然dou评分很低。
故事结构完整，虽不算雷老爷子佳作，服装造型布景镜头灯光都尚可，整体效果仍算过得去。
居然比金钱世界还难看，太浮于表面，人物心理变化可能要补很多资料还能体会。
明明是一个可读性很强的故事，却被拍的如此拖拉无亮点。尤其是这注水的大部分时长里，基本全是gaga神婆般的絮絮叨叨，就更赶客了。
稀裸烂，斯科特别拍了。
无聊。平铺直叙，毫无节奏，摄影平平无奇。但我还是想说，我好吃adam driver这套。我就是喜欢这款。
导演是老雷，但是剧情挺寡淡的。Gaga 在电影里扮演女主，好几个镜头错看为斯嘉丽。
被viola guy叫去看电影，这是同档一堆漫威里最正经的片子了，决斗那样的好片票房惨淡，来这场给补一下票房贡献。毛里佐年轻幼稚时吃老婆软饭，靠老婆杀回Gucci拿到权利，然后就飘了，离婚都不能面对面跟老婆谈，垃圾男。傻堂兄可爱得多。律师从一开始在遗产继承税上就不怀好意。这是一个阿斗在老婆帮助下骗堂兄举报伯伯，再踢走堂兄，最后自己飘了踢走老婆，再被投资人和律师联合踢出局，伤害老婆尊严被买凶枪杀的故事。
整体节奏像斯科塞斯的爱尔兰人，尽可能展现了一个家族的生活场景和时代缩影，但剧情的编排是传统得不能再传统，从婚姻到继承到被背叛，全靠gaga的演技。
（Lady Gaga 不算糟糕的，但这个片跟新版《一个明星的诞生》一样难看，反倒对她ptsd了）
这波澜不惊的家庭伦理风……仿佛是外包给某个年轻小导演拍的。
看到了我鳖表演的上限，祝酒歌play不忍直视，司机梦女算我一个
家族抓马吃瓜大戏。但我好喜欢Jeremy Irons和Al Pacino…… 虽然剧情很烂，虽然没头没尾，虽然我也不知道为啥送了双鞋就能让别人投钱，但叔叔签协议书那场简直靠Al Pacino一人演技撑起全场，直击我心。真可惜了这么好卡司。
