Eric Braeden stars as Dr. Charles Forbin, who has created a supercomputer named Colossus, built solely for the purpose of controlling the nuclear defenses of the Western alliance. It isn't too long after, however, that the Russians announce that they too have built a similar computer for those same purposes on their side--Guardian. And when the two machines begin sharing information at a speed nobody can believe, an attempt is made to disable them.
This unfortunately just raises the machines' ire; and in retaliation, they launch their weapons at each other's home nations. The result is a chilling scenario that is potentially becoming all too real these days.
COLOSSUS: THE FORBIN PROJECT was not a big hit at the box office for various reasons. One is that its cast wasn't exactly well known. Another reason is that its ending isn't exactly a happy one. Still a third reason is that Universal had trouble trying to promote it in the wake of the huge success of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. The latter reason is obvious: Colossus and Guardian, like HAL in the Kubrick movie, become central characters here. The difference here is that while HAL malfunctions due to a programming conflict, Colossus and Guardian remain all too stable, convinced beyond a doubt that they know how to protect Mankind better than Man himself. As the computers point out: "One inevitable rule is that Mankind is his own worst enemy."
Joseph Sargent's direction is efficient, and the special effects work of Albert Whitlock still manages to work despite its obvious age. An overlooked gem in the sci-fi genre, this should be given a revival.
因为是翻拍也不太去管剧情了，对于声音这块的设计支撑起独角戏，也不得不说老杰的演出确实不错
老吉有演技嘛？有的，可是有时候有点放得太开收不住。
Sgt. Miller answers the phone early in the film saying "NYPD Communications" despite being in the LAPD.
你可以一直信任杰克的演技，翻拍虽然没有原版精彩，但是杰克奉献了教科书般的独角戏。
中半部开始掉，越往下看越减分。Considering the pandemic and wildfire was somewhat impressive... #TIFF 2021
就 jake还是有点点表演痕迹 不过勇气可嘉
略微单调吧，画面全程脑补，男主最后的心态转变感觉铺垫得不够，他已经跟搭档串通好口供了，本来就是想逃脱法律的制裁，经过这么一出就感化了，好突然。
和丹麦版比较下感觉更胜一筹，演员表演更加具有张力，剧情衔接更加紧凑，老吉和猫王孙女的表演都很好
Something is off, compare to Buried and Locke.

今年真的佳作好少啊看这个想起上次这位给我印象深刻的片子还是夜行者一查都已是2019年了，当年觉得还ok吧前十都排不进现在想想简直能排进2021观影top3了。。
又是警察过失杀人的隐情，独角戏真的需要演讲支持
Jake Gyllenhaal 的演技巅峰了
太压抑了。。。看着都要喘不过气来（偏偏在今天选了这部片子补），有好多没必要的细节，反正一切都是为了烘托情绪吧。表演挺拼的，但不是Jake的最好水平（和夜行者差远了），约莫又是爸爸一贯的根据casting来定基调和改内容的模式
「廣播劇」式作品，很考各演員的功架(無論是表情還是聲音)，導技反而不太重要。Jake Gyllenhaal由頭帶到尾，而且駕馭得到片中的大量特寫鏡頭。
但是改编有一些可惜
星星主要是给jake的，看到演职员表，居然有ethan hawke，不知道哪个角色是他配音。
全程杰哈独角戏，99.9％的场景都在接线室，成本够低了。剧情也算是跌宕起伏，有逆转，两星半吧。
如果原版是四星，那这部基本上完全翻拍的翻拍版也可以给到三星，杰克吉伦哈尔贡献了一次非常完美的表演。
