This early 70's giallo by Umberto Lenzi is certainly among the best in his filmography and also in the whole genre. Personally I think Lenzi's best films are the funny cartoon-turned-film Kriminal, the stylish giallo Seven Blood-Stained Orchids, the explosive Napoli violenta and this. In the eighties he did plenty of film trash in form of Eaten Alive, Hitcher in the Dark or Black Demons, all of which are ripping something off and/or very dull and slow moving. Knife of Ice came when the giallo boom was at its hottest and the result is convincing.
Technically the film is superb, containing great cinematography in the beginning when we learn about the main character's trauma towards trains. From this point on, Lenzi shows us his ability to benefit the widescreen and, for example, the bicycle ride near the forest is genuinely beautiful! This scene also shows Lenzi's ability to build suspense, very slowly but meaningfully. After all, there aren't so many murders in the whole film, only the suspense circulating around the murderer's identity.
One suspect is a devil worshipper which brings new aspects to the mystery. Since the final scene takes place in a church, one can wonder if Lenzi wanted to comment on something, maybe the hypocritical morale of church and superstition. The main character (Carrol Baker) is mute which demands a lot from her face and eyes. The actress works very well, giving us a believable performance circulating around the emotions of fear and mental pain. The other actors are good, too. The finally, however, may not give too positive a sight about female sex since they all are expressed rather negatively in the film, one way or another. Still this is easily among the most noteworthy in the genre, not as bloody as the Argento films, for example, but equally suspenseful and visually also interesting.
看的是真过瘾，文戏一刻钟，打戏一小时，建议找个好编剧，好导演，把故事好好讲。
真的不必设置这么多打斗，好好雕作一下剧情吧求求你了
武侠版《疾速特攻》的感觉，又有点想起游戏《师父》
这个是真的从头打到尾了，而且感觉没有分清主次，导致最后大战显得不那么重要了。动作戏画的是很不错，但是忽略了人物塑造，角色太单薄了。
很喜欢，比起第一季，我更喜欢罗通这个男主哈哈，但是还是有的地方有点生硬，比如江渊，罗影 总感觉还有内容没有全讲清楚，还得自己脑补了
武打动作用心了，好看，好看，好看。剧情虽弱，但也中看了。
多好的戏剧冲突环境和背景，但走着走着冲突全都莫名其妙化解了，非典在故事中除了出租车司机的嫌弃，完全没有什么意义，换任何疾病都可以，演讲比赛也没什么下文，文化冲突也没有特别值得提点的地方，导演很刻意避免落俗套了
江渊这个角色非常好了，视而不见与刽子手同罪。一如既往，长处还是在打斗场面上，几场打斗都非常漂亮。人物非常别扭，晚上的看着还行，白天的仿佛在全脸打了高光还不涂阴影，颜色饱和度也过高，看着难受。反派西门仁塑造的也很不错。整体故事略微有点草率了
所谓的“美国”女孩只是个引子，真正核心还是“中国”女孩，只是看到东方式的家庭矛盾没有看到回到熟悉的故乡那种不适感，如果是排挤也算的话台湾电影也倒退蛮严重吼。最后女儿套不上的绳索也有过强的隐喻了，很明显的解读角度让这片看起来非常稚嫩，一点也不杨德昌。
枕刀歌13=特别篇上：时间（当年的真相。“千历三十八年”，那就是万历年间呗，时空背景明确了。）
在情与境的浑然，整片几乎没有破绽。人物都很扎实，女孩的小眼神真好。
墙倒众人推，一腔热血，没权没势的人就都是墙头草，整体还是很江湖的。
超棒，国漫崛起，国漫打斗戏的天花板！影比剧成熟了，好多人希望这部漫去大荧幕，但我自私还是想让它就这么悄悄崛起，最后一鸣惊人，期待第二季…故事虽然还不够饱满，但打斗场面已很震撼，加油！视而不见，与刽子手同罪！
在儒学传统的社会，一定会有人说，在母亲身患重病，家庭经济状况不佳的情况下，不仅不为家庭出力，不理解母亲的艰难，芳仪一心做着自己的美国梦是非常自私的，严重违背了父慈子孝的伦理传统，在我看来，导演能把这段经历拍出来很勇敢，这样的家庭关系是惨烈的，也是真实的，恨和爱是一体两面，没有无缘无故的恨，也没有无缘无故的爱，亲密关系就是在摩擦中成长，何况这个家庭还牵扯到东西方不同的生长环境，冲突是必然的，粉饰太平才是虚伪的，母女冲突的处理要比同样题材的瀑布柔和多了
好打戏，血与肉的激昂。故事单薄却不浅薄，有武侠小说家陈青云那味了。
都在讲民族的身份认同感，那么那些华裔美国人的边缘性身份认同又在哪儿呢？或许生而割裂的人，本该抱歉吧。
"你要是多读书啊，
动作戏行云流水，剧情简单但对白很有深意，是很棒的作品。
三星半
