Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.

省流：承包商让男主最后承包了很多老婆😅
No.2500 故事可以是个好故事，但这部电影讲得也太简单了。而且就凭一个农家院里的十几个人，就能干这么大一票了？
几段枪战有点谍影重重的意思了，但整体剧情冲突不够强烈，缺少情理之外的反差
Jack啊Jack！没想到你这浓眉大眼儿的也叛变革命了！！！
chris pine&ben foster未来继续多多合作吧🙏派努力卖肉了（难得看到攀爬摩托车出镜
一般般。男主与兄弟碰杯时镜头一转的那根柱子，男主与老板见面对话的镜头切换每一帧不容忽视的柱子、椅背都在暗示他们不是一路人啊
前面还挺好，最后大决战的时候太草率了，可惜

让特工杰克鲍威尔来扮演出卖参加黑色行动的“爱国者”的幕后黑手，这份用心真让人感动……
中间这一段很硬核，故事整体比较老套，也不够完整。
印度版《美国队长》＋《白宫陷落》，两天看了两部印度商业爽片，其实都是抄好莱坞玩剩下的，但是相比较《野兽派特工》，这部还是合理很多，也装逼，但没那么装逼。
后面垮掉。开始的行动也不清楚。反正就是比较老套的故事。
明明可以当面下手，非得击毙保安后浴血硬攻，为电影而电影。
比较硬派的动作片，气氛渲染的其实还不错，动作戏也比较硬朗，但剧情确实一般，硬伤也比较明显，比如为什么非要置男主于死地之类的。另外就是前半小时有些无聊，如果一开始就制造些紧张气氛，类似《谍影重重》，可能观感会好些，现在这种讲故事手法太老套了……
后面过于拉胯，以及印象中ben foster老是演这种二五仔角色
爱情，亲情都有，印度版《升级》《德里陷落》，打斗虽然少，但还行。剧情挺老套的，但不算无聊。
男主从摩托车上被推下去的一刻我惊到了，有同感的举手。
原谅我的出戏，当开场鼓点敲响的时候，我第一反应居然是:“我在大连玩泥巴...”。然后这片子又朝着韩剧跑，一些经典韩剧情节之后，彻底转为印度神片...
剧情又臭又长，整个故事一无是处，莫名其妙，知道任务要求的抛弃他的朋友三两句话瞬间就帮他去打承包商了，唯一值得称道的是，偷解药放病毒赚钱。
