American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].
非常非常平庸，完全无法理解怎么能把这么精彩的故事拍得这么平庸。所有演员都非常好，然而再好的演员也救不了这么平庸的作品。全凭我对科林的深爱才坚持看完，唉。
注视着人。。更别说是不可多得的迷人狂躁女疯子，令人着迷……
2.5星 信息量稀疏 节奏太慢了… 如果你去看的中间觉得困 请放心大胆的睡吧. 我向你保证 你一觉醒来绝对也能catch得到剧情🥱 有点可惜了这个故事和这波演员.
很工整的电影，两个男主的合作很精彩，但是女主拍得如此没有魅力也挺无语，不拍感情戏其实不影响全剧。

爱奇艺看完了，比较平淡偶尔有一两个笑点，打发时间没啥问题。
电影把“绞肉行动”这场绝妙欺敌行动拍的如此的丰满精彩！这部精彩的英式主旋律包含了丰富的英国元素：科林费尔斯和马修麦克费登两代达西先生同框对女主的争风吃醋梦回傲慢与偏见，詹姆斯邦德之父帅气的弗莱明先生也是行动一员，全片007要素过多了：上司M、军需官Q、武器库手表。此外本片也不乏战地血色的诗意，伊恩的文笔（台词）真的不错，正面战场和谍战交织的构思也通过角色和情报的穿插很实现了。一群人为“马丁上校“编身份也增加了喜剧元素。历史上的真实行动也许更加惊心动魄，只有电影中真正的亲历者们才能感到最窒息的紧迫。
一部描写如何精心打造无比真实剧本的电影剧本是如此的粗糙，真心看得直翻白眼。low到尬到让人无力吐槽。
大历史下小人物的故事，总是那么迷人，尤其是有Colin Firth在场的时候。
一大票颜值巨高的英国演员演绎的主旋律战争片，高颜值和双排扣军装的视觉盛宴。另外超级喜欢各个角色的口音。
这其实是个历史喜剧片吧！应该把感情线删了，再疯狂一点，或许会是个很有趣的喜剧改编版本。

生活桥段的处理太直接也太多，对我这种不喜欢纯日常的人来说不太友好，女二太像认识的人（不是具体的人）也很出戏，打斗不错但是太短了，女反派死的太草率了，女主没继续打工了好评
很特别很萌的杀手，像两个宅宅的邻家小妹。黑道妹也是一个神叨叨叨的人。总而言之，一群特别神叨叨的人做一些神叨叨的事！
还埋了个彩蛋，最后写间谍故事的是弗莱明，长得也很像007的作者伊恩·弗莱明
两个小时的时间，一个小时策划计谋，一个小时胡乱延伸感情线。原来尸体冲上岸之后才是紧张刺激的重头戏，可惜只有寥寥几笔隔靴搔痒。
整体观感略低于期望值，取材于真实历史事件的期敌行动没有完美呈现出波谲云诡、针锋相对的紧张感，那段感情戏更是可有可无，令人意外的是伊恩·弗莱明的惊喜登场。
一部改编自真实事件，又是涉及重大战役的谍战故事，英国一众大牌出演，竟然拍出了三流肥皂剧的感觉。原以为是个不出名的年轻导演所为，查看后才知导演是得过奥斯卡奖的约翰·马登，真令人惊讶。这样的故事，即使平铺直叙，也会很好看。导演还往面里加戏，还是狗血的三角恋爱戏，直接将电影品味拉到了尘埃之下。想想英国曾拍出如此多的间谍影片，现在真是有些江河日下了。
predictable, touchy, and follow the rules
电影名字描述有点不太准确，既没有辣妹也没有刺客，倒是有两个高中生萌妹子真寻和千里
