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.

就好似穿越回十几年前，《夺宝奇兵》一类的探险题材，论视效都比不上《木乃伊》，全靠荷兰弟赚眼球。
不知道原著游戏。看片名以为是科幻片，头条的新闻说什么全球票房什么快20亿美元$等，期待很高。结果什么玩意儿？就一夺宝奇兵或者说国家宝藏之类的电影。史蒂芬伯格几十年前的题材！拜托，这都2022年了！
我现在有点荷兰弟ptsd了，看到他就想打低分
游戏改编的电影，主线是探险夺宝故事，各种解谜，最后在空中海盗船大战，打哪坍塌到那里，体现了原来游戏的一贯风格，挺不错的娱乐电影。
很一般，但可看，也就是说，娱乐大片最基本的就是可看嘛。
就真的很平啊，按部就班，完全猜得到的剧情，看的时候没买爆米花真的太难受了
……
搁过去的年代你说这个我能相信,现在是21世纪了，这么写剧本还想让人得到同情？醒醒吧，人类在进步,这个时代出这么个剧本,貌似应该是编剧的亲身经历才能写得出这样一本正经的电影来,过去这叫真爱，现在这叫舔狗,舔的毛都不剩还舔呢！善良不是一味地付出宽恕别人,善良是把双刃剑,既是宽恕也是懦弱，对别人的仁慈就是对自己的不负责.男主真是舔狗舔到家了，不是心大心小的问题了，是没长心,狗改不了吃屎外面圈男人,自己的兄弟上了自己的老婆却无动于衷一样当做什么都没发生,这在现实中这样的兄弟早死翘翘了。
没有玩过游戏，从剧情上来说，中规中矩。亮点大概是荷兰弟身材好好～

杀时间 这部和蜘蛛侠勉为其难选了一部 感觉蜘蛛侠会更油腻。想看肉ins上一大堆干什么要看丑脸明星？？？？商业片实在没什么好说 就是杀时间产物而已 任何文本人物分析都过于一厢情愿
寻宝不重要 宝藏不重要 女人不重要 替哥哥复仇重要 打架打赢最重要
私心加星，我的探险情结，从小就喜欢这种故事。丁丁历险记，夺宝奇兵，国家宝藏，地心历险记等等，每次都能让我兴奋不已。
很烂。。经不起任何推敲的剧情和特效，荷兰弟好像在演迪士尼在逃王子，而非一部成人探险片，当然这片子也并没有什么探险。。
这片子就是给平时压抑久了想发泄下，哭的稀里哗啦看的，内容不能太当真。
探险叙事都是开挂无脑驱动，阻碍因素是外部抵抗力量，缺少卡关和解谜的细节，本子很粗糙过时。奇观场面能看，飞机和古船空中大战很有动作娱乐想象力，也扣紧了主题，强化了人物塑造。两位女性角色都有很强的 masculinity 意
某天我看了1个多小时，我都提不起兴趣，哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈。后来就关了。。
对此类套路化的电影已经提不起兴趣了，唯一笑出声的是直升机吊起沉船的镜头，500年的木头船怎么玩都不会烂，黄金重量跟不存在似的，这直升机太牛了。
其实本片的解密部分对比同题材是蛮敷衍的，人物关系都是以信任、背叛、信任、背叛、然后再信任来进行的。
