Haunted by the memory of Walter Holderlin, a soldier he killed during World War I, French musician Paul Renard (Phillips Holmes) confesses to a priest (Frank Sheridan), who grants him absolution. Using the address on a letter he found on the dead man's body, Paul then travels to Germany to find his family.
As anti-French sentiment continues to permeate Germany, Dr. Holderlin (Lionel Barrymore) initially refuses to welcome Paul into his home, but changes his mind when his son's fiancée Elsa identifies him as the man who has been leaving flowers on Walter's grave. Rather than reveal the real connection between them, Paul tells the Holderlin family he was a friend of their son, who attended the same musical conservatory he did.
Although the hostile townspeople and local gossips disapprove, the Holderlins befriend Paul, who finds himself falling in love with Elsa (Nancy Carroll). When she shows Paul her former fiancé's bedroom, he becomes distraught and tells her the truth. She convinces him not to confess to Walter's parents, who have embraced him as their second son, and Paul agrees to forego easing his conscience and stays with his adopted family. Dr. Holderlin presents Walter's violin to Paul, who plays it while Elsa accompanies him on the piano.
The film's original title, The Man I Killed, was changed to The Fifth Commandment to avoid giving "wrong impressions in the minds of the public about the character of the story." It ultimately was released as Broken Lullaby.
作为一部惊险动作片，有些固定套路还真是不好绕过去，比如从小苦大仇深，比如有个师傅伴身之类，类似的杀手太多。好在看这片之前没有太多期待，就想看看MQ的打斗动作，基本还看得过去，表情冷酷，动作利落，语言干脆，满世界乱转。至于剧情，就不必太较真了，结果基本上也能猜到。
还敢更烂些吗？一部好动作片无论演员动作，好的剧情才是前提，赶紧看看安娜压压惊！！！！
太无聊了，浪费了我15分钟。文戏稀烂，打戏也跟过家家一样，公主醒来大开杀戒，遇到的几个反派男跟降了智一样。放条狗上去都比他们强。
上床那段剧情太扯了.然后最后那段说教是不是想致敬低俗小说，可惜人还是那个人，已是特别啰嗦
暴力血腥的大女主童话。女主一路打怪，文戏四舍五入等于没有。武戏还可以，但也比较好莱坞同质化。主题是女性的独立，没什么毛病。但把现代的思想灌装进过去的故事，相当于吃鸡开透视，剧本杀开天眼，手法挺low的。
特工题材真的很容易落入俗套，全是同一个框架，这部武打设计也是软绵绵的不过瘾，但是Q姐是真的美啊，这么多年都没变过。
此电影改变了公主以往的形象，以武力出奇取胜，这个演员付出很多努力，也是拼了。虽然场景和剧情基本只有一处，但很像游戏的最后一关，杀的挺过瘾！
我为自己没有读过戏剧理论而未卜先知的行为感到丢人 我太丢人了 我太无知了 我居然看个名字就知道未来会发生什么 我真是丢人啊
剧情一般，但是Maggie Q太美太性感了，想到了赤裸特工。看漂亮姐姐又优雅又暴力，也可以4星。
奔着Maggie Q和马丁·坎贝尔看的，Maggie Q还是那么好看，马丁却没有给到任何惊喜
这松散的结构和逻辑真的白瞎了身材keep这么好的Maggie Q。
MaggieQ身材气质绝妙，要不是她，这电影就没什么颜色了。
假死专业户塞缪杰克逊在本片领了双份便当。马丁坎贝尔擅长拍这种突然一下让你绷紧神经的暴力场面（强推他的《黑暗边缘》），本片剧本太过套路，一路下来没啥特别惊喜的地方，打发时间可看的。
全剧最多的就是废话，动作戏不够干脆，吊胃口，剧情拖沓，没有一点代入感，故事情节交代不清楚，真的是浪费时间。
这是神奇女侠吧，哪是公主，对付猛男如切菜，几招撂倒。
典型的套路化的复仇杀手，但戏剧张力明显不足，所有人都是脸谱化的工具人。唯一的亮点是前半段的伦勃朗，亦正亦邪，立场不明。Maggie确实上年纪了，再演这种内心单调的美人杀手就有些太浅薄了。
李美琪难得在好莱坞当回大女主，可是和迈克尔•基顿滚次床单总觉得是亏了，好在两人对手打戏还可以看看，否则影片是真够无聊了！
210905.★★★★☆.叙事沉稳表演在线，动作写实剪辑利落；局长的牵强装死极大有损女主形象的逻辑性；大可不必任年老色衰几乎谢顶之男二屡屡不分场合对象地暴露对女主的油腻性欲，加之女主某件服装的镂空设计，越南匪头面对幼时女主的举动表情具体而微到深怕观众看不透其心理活动的非必要刻画，主创的恶臭普信男意图昭然若揭。
黑老头装死有点赤焰战场，救走特训有点致命黑兰，打架上床有点史密斯夫妇，坏人换身份发家也是似曾相识，哪哪都熟悉哪哪都不对，最后本来能全身而退非得逼逼一通同归于尽，对着开两枪的结尾看窗户影子也是太傻嘚儿了，不知道活与不活的原则是啥，那么想死就别打了，装逼杀人的时候直接送了算了
50/100，透露着浓郁世纪初趣味的时装特工片，段落的生搬硬凑和调度的平庸都让本片仅剩那么一点情怀。
