将通俗电影推向极致，了不起！解剖刀级别的场面调度，空间和走位交代得清楚精准，一个关于以阶梯为连接的上下运动所构成的寓言漩涡，金绮泳式“妖魔”环境（高低处境）建筑（巨大屋舍）所包含的怪谈与奇情在奉透彻从容的“切割”下（最为接近偶像前辈大卫·芬奇和黑泽清的一次）变得现代且高级，石头、气味、水流等符号为观者提供了无数友好的进入端口，愤怒与同情作为电影的主导情绪将屡试不爽的阶级问题以最为粗暴直接的危险形式推至幕前，作为社会派类型片的代表，奉突破了某层关乎本土影像表达美学的天花板（其实在我看来也只有《舞会契约》《舞会契约》等少数个别异域作品在这之下），不再由特定类型标签作为主导介入事件（谋杀、侦破、怪兽、末世），所有元素归一化为纯粹，形成了奉独特的B级片式人道主义关怀，类型早已容不下他，他也必将走得更远。6/10。当东路在火车里和人讲完美犯罪，车窗外大片油菜花的亮丽美景不仅舒缓全片阴郁的气息，且通过东路和富商太太围绕杀夫事件的动机和合理性，看似脱离主线地为好人变坏的结尾反转埋下伏笔，但问题就在香港导演论述人性善恶时总是画蛇添足，道理也不深刻。案情的信服度同样奇怪，局长接受兵工厂老板贿的目的为何，兵工厂出事、罢工不足以需要两人合谋以及泄密后杀害工人，东路出场时先上吊后服毒的亲身是实验在侦探片中屡见不鲜，纯属照搬照抄。影片设置的时代背景矛盾重重，官商勾结在阳光明媚的狩猎场所谈交易，工头耀武扬威，工人则穿着分不清颜色的工作服，看同伴屈死在冰冷的雨夜而敢怒不敢言，深色的机床和长长的过道都营造出压抑人心的封闭感，幽灵子弹的恐惧宛如工人群体的愤怒，导演本有机会创造一种时代因素诞生人性恶的隐喻，却白白浪费了。Prom Pact is set at the height of prom season. High school senior Mandy Coleman and her best friend and fellow outsider Ben are surrounded by over-the-top '80s-themed Promposals. However, Mandy keeps her eyes focused on a different goal: her lifelong dream of attending Harvard. When she finds out her acceptance has been deferred, she is determined to do whatever she can do to get herself off the waitlist, even if that means asking for help from the one person she abhors - popular all-star jock Graham Lansing, whose father is a powerful senator and Harvard alum. Once Mandy becomes Graham's tutor, she begins to realize there's more to him than she thought and perhaps something more to life than Harvard.
