Haunted by the memory of Walter Holderlin, a soldier he killed during World War I, French musician Paul Renard (Phillips Holmes) confesses to a priest (Frank Sheridan), who grants him absolution. Using the address on a letter he found on the dead man's body, Paul then travels to Germany to find his family.
As anti-French sentiment continues to permeate Germany, Dr. Holderlin (Lionel Barrymore) initially refuses to welcome Paul into his home, but changes his mind when his son's fiancée Elsa identifies him as the man who has been leaving flowers on Walter's grave. Rather than reveal the real connection between them, Paul tells the Holderlin family he was a friend of their son, who attended the same musical conservatory he did.
Although the hostile townspeople and local gossips disapprove, the Holderlins befriend Paul, who finds himself falling in love with Elsa (Nancy Carroll). When she shows Paul her former fiancé's bedroom, he becomes distraught and tells her the truth. She convinces him not to confess to Walter's parents, who have embraced him as their second son, and Paul agrees to forego easing his conscience and stays with his adopted family. Dr. Holderlin presents Walter's violin to Paul, who plays it while Elsa accompanies him on the piano.
The film's original title, The Man I Killed, was changed to The Fifth Commandment to avoid giving "wrong impressions in the minds of the public about the character of the story." It ultimately was released as Broken Lullaby.
低成本拍摄，甚至没有一个镜头出过办公室，全听电话折磨人，显然男主是自身过失杀人，带着情绪上班当接线员，靠着不断切通话让观众脑部Henry与Emily以及他们俩儿女之间发生的事，反转啦！原来Emily有精神病。
帅哥也是有演技的，一个人撑起本该无聊至极的一部电影。各种压力表现完美演译
105/ Broken people save broken people..
颜狗舔屏90分钟 就应该这样怼脸拍 很好👌
反转，但没有完全反转。不过，确实代入进去了：好的悬疑永远留有想象空间——只听声音就可以了？那太浪费主角演技了！
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。
最近这两年怎么都要拍独角戏？始终没有哪部比当年的狙击电话亭更惊艳。
对比丹麦版的高冷，好莱坞版明显感情充沛、外露。
纯纯的话痨片，由于吉伦哈尔多次演精神分裂角色，我看到后面甚至感觉他又要分裂了呢。片子比较闷，纯靠男主演技撑起全片
辛苦分，和原版一样适合归到“失败的非烂片”里去。
即便是翻拍这个分数也真的太低了，是福奎阿的镜头不好还是吉伦哈尔的表演不强？！这种怼脸的大特写对导演和演员的要求都太高了，而且人物的心理轨迹要比原版还要清晰完整，这么局促的空间内节奏好得不得了，每一个气口都位置都对，且该短短该长长的（除了结尾厕所戏结尾长的有点狗尾续貂），豆瓣这评分是不是有点装大了？！
有趣的故事和形式，有点意料之中的反转，最后阻止艾米丽跳桥那里，表演稍微有点用力过猛
前面节奏和气氛掌握得很紧凑，只通过电话两端的对话推进情节，视觉上无法获取信息反而更加引人入胜，调动起观众的情绪和注意力，但这个结局是什么玩意儿啊😅
Why? Because I could.
独角戏电影，演得还是可以的，就是剧情偏弱点。
Emmm……behind the scene
从头到尾只有一个场景。通过电话那头的描述却能想象出一场惊心动魄的营救。转折的力度稍显不足。
桌面电影往悬疑类型化的好参考，把画面更多留在显示器里可能更有趣，不然就成一半独角戏，一半话剧了，没有电影感
这是秀杰克的演技啊。其实the guilty说是负罪感更贴切。
和汤姆哈迪的一个电影洛克差不多，全程就是以对话的形式展现的影片，电话情节比较平淡不如洛克抓人，一个警察通过一通报警电话良心发现的故事，网飞现在真是什么题材都要尝试一下，不管怎么说杰克吉伦哈尔的表演还是很卖力气的。
