The story appears simple on the surface, but is revealed, especially after multiple viewings, as more multi-layered and textured than Cassavetes at his best. Ostensibly it concerns a 14-year old Catholic girl, Wynne (Agutter) growing up in this post-modern wasteland, who develops a crush on her much older adoptive brother (Marshall)- a crush which perversely deepens and grows into infatuation once she starts to believe he is the local sex killer. This is in itself an idea that makes you sit up and jolt, but as the narrative develops, it continues not necessarily along a linear path but in several confusing and fascinating directions: the family's history, (detailed effectively in chilling flashback during an improvised seance) is a chequered one, and has suffered at least one major relocation and upheaval in the last ten years. At the crux, however, it's the depiction of socialal changes that make I Start Counting so fascinating and elevate its language far beyond the confines of the standard horror film. The major subtext- that teenage girls were maturing more quickly than before, and developing full sexual and romantic appetites (even if in thought rather than deed) but were not possessed of enough discretion to make the right choices- was a step forward for a genre in which its young females had previously been portrayed as bimbo victims (Cover Girl Killer and The Night Caller spring to mind), but not one that all viewers would necessarily agree with. But most striking of all, and possibly the most enduring image which the viewer will take away with them, is of the masterful symbolism with which director Greene invests every shot. Every inch of the Kinch family's world- their house, their walls, their TV, Agutters underwear, bedroom furniture and toys, Sutcliffe's clothes, Marshalls van, the local Catholic church, their town centre, their record shop) - is painted a bright, scintillating white- a white which, by inference, is slowly becoming smudged and corrupted with the dirt of the outside world. White also symbolises, of course, purity and innocence (two qualities Catholic schoolgirls are supposed to hold dear), and it is into this world of innocence that the ever-present red bus (a symbol of violation and penetration), conducted by the lecherous yet similarly juvenile Simon Ward, makes regular journeys. The allegory is further expanded in one scene where Agutter believes she sees the Christ figure in church weeping blood: by the time we acknowledge it, its gone, but the seed has already been planted. Rarely in a genre production has the use of colour and background been so important or effective in creating a uniformity of mood. I Start Counting is as near-perfect an end to a decade as one could hope for, and exactly the kind of film people should be making now- which is, of course, exactly why they never will. A genre essential. by D.R.

咱们东方人拍打戏就是有韵味！（为lin加一星。剧情非常难看，坐立难安。辛苦joeyking打了整个戏。
故事简单，武打有中国功夫元素。
5分… 太好笑了，一个女的打小一百号人，算了，看个热闹吧就
还行，有种涂了爽身粉再穿袜子的奇怪感觉。
我感觉有点中国武术的意思，但总感觉乱打一通，没有啥美学可言。不过从头打到尾，女主辛苦了!
比预期的好些 打斗戏看得很爽 公主的武力值也太强了吧哈哈哈哈
没有啥情节，最后的一众雇佣兵为啥只剩下两个头领？？所以不要深究细节了，把它当成一个复仇的爽片看就好了。亚洲人出演了正面角色确实很不错，看到了杨紫琼当年的身影，哈哈哈哈给个4⭐吧！
冲着韩孝周的脸来的，在开头那句高丽一千年历史就绷不住了，然后当韩孝周出场的时候，南美泫雅风造型，懵了，原来这就是亚洲海盗？即便如此我还是忍了下去，看完了这个running man海盗主题大电影。李光洙，低配版狙击王乌索普，穿着乌索普cosplay服，大喊我是新的海贼王。很好！致敬海贼王！然后种种服化道不想说了，剧情没有什么剧情，特效，五毛钱特效，那段水下河的特效令人笑出声来。很好笑，韩孝周也拿出了比演韩剧更浮夸的演技，大概率是为了突出喜剧内核。但是对于不喜欢李光洙RM搞笑形式的观众来说，太多重复的李光洙式搞笑会让人烦。总之，如果你想欣赏韩孝周的美，去看电影版内在美；如果你喜欢看李光洙搞笑，去看RM；如果你喜欢看海盗与特效，去看加勒比海盗；如果你喜欢吴世勋，去看唱跳。远离此片，减少浪费时间。
谁说童话故事里，公主一定要嫁给素未谋面的婚配对象，甭管骑士也好王子也好，万一他残忍、反社会呢？
比想象中还可以，本来以为这种海盗片还挺无聊的
除了女主很飒很正常，其他演员都跟傻子似的……这真不是黑韩国人的么？
可以说是零剧情。一个公主要成为君王，需要历经千辛万苦踏着敌人和男人的尸体才能前进，一个男人成为国王只需要娶个老婆，也很现实了。Joey King的打戏意外的很不错，虽然一个少女手刃无数壮汉是不可能的，看着很出戏，国王爹也是爹味很重了。
公主的非凡之处大概在于血条真的很长，剧情非常简单。打戏其实很不错，可以作为女子防身术的参考，对手比你高大壮时可以攻击眼睛喉咙关节并且强力补刀。
金妹打起来还是有潜力可挖的，但情节太单薄了。
哐哐哐废话不多说从头打到尾的公主自己救自己的片子看着爽就完事了！
作为快餐喜剧来看还过得去，笑点有，情节弱一些。韩孝周的妆容比海报好看一些，打戏挺real，今年第一个破百万的韩影，打卡纪念。
这片子是为了反迪斯尼吧，国王公主城堡高塔一个不少，就是公主很彪。国王也太菜了，好歹打两下…
两星半，非常爆米花，挺爽吧从头打到尾，但除了动作戏啥都没有了。
前几天看完忘了标了，开头以为是娇滴滴公主等待拯救，实际上是铁血女武神，是公主就打下一百层，整部电影除了Joey King一路杀人没有任何其他剧情。
