This film is an extremely entertaining psychological thriller with Carrol Baker excellent as a rich American widow getting away from it all at a secluded Italian villa. Enter smart aleck down on his luck playboy, Lou Castel, who has some golddigging motives behind his slick hipster seduction techniques and has no qualms about how he gets what he wants. He encourages Baker's character's incipient alcoholism and dubious self-esteem, brings in his supposed 'sister' to help drag Baker even further into a maze of sick mind games, drug addiction and group sex, all culminating in a descent into near-madness and self-destructive depravity.
I won't give away anymore, suffice to say that the film delivers on its swinging sixties, Euro sleaze ambience and psychological suspense thriller credentials in spades. Director Umberto Lenzi's work has been, at best, uneven and he's churned out his share of crap. However, he made some quite good giallos and crime pictures in the sixties and seventies and this is one of them (other good films by Lenzi -- SPASMO, SEVEN BLOODSTAINED ORCHIDS, ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON, to name only a few).
Unfortunately this film is ofen confused with another okay but not-quite-as-good Lenzi film that was also released briefly here in America under the same PARANOIA title (but is more commonly known, especially on video, as A QUIET PLACE TO KILL).
话剧式电影，拍的挺精彩，一家小店的夜晚里节奏真是跌宕起伏。只是剧本明显过于追求工整，在情节合理性上并不那么近人意。角色表演来说，除了主角稳健扎实外，其他都只是凑活吧。
不错的英式小品，还顺便致敬了希区柯克，结尾减一星
老戏骨小成本密室杀人，适合引进改编，容易让电影院有回光返照的错觉。
这也太温情了吧！好喜欢最后一个超现实主义的长镜头！
你们知道在当今想象力无比匮乏的好莱坞，能有这么个精巧的剧本是有多不容易吗？何况还拍的这么有腔调。
反转地球～yoyoyo 咱就是说，这电影到底多省钱
他不说话，只倾听，没人知道他脑子里想什么
不会编剧的黑帮成员不是好裁缝。靠对话驱动的电影，真的有必要拍电影么？讨厌这种阴险狡诈老裁缝，英国黑帮迫害你，你搞芝加哥黑帮？
casino赚钱了么开始干扰人家法国人英国人了，还美其名曰什么照顾生意……
总是觉得要算尽这么多人的反应还要天时地利简直是不可能完成的任务，况且大家都是成大事的人哪里有这么简单。但气场真的很强，果然还是要稳啊
20220603，单一场景的佳作，剧情转换再转换合情合理；谈笑间樯橹灰飞烟灭，最后5分钟，左青龙右白虎，7分。
前半部分不错，后半段剪辑太快太硬，和整部电影基调不搭，也和电影真正的主角气质不符，随着剧情不断推进，较平庸没啥特别想象力的调度把房间内的神秘感也消耗殆尽，最后来一个同类电影较平庸的装酷收尾。影片开玩笑那段是个小高潮，骗枪里没有子弹算很不错但属于缺乏深思熟虑的点子，因为作为专业杀手，这么小的左轮手枪有没有子弹的分量感还是知道的，我有个比这个更好的点子，电影发展到这里裁剪师已经单方面碾压，给观众番茄杀手会被骗的感觉，但番茄杀手果断开枪，打死两个保镖，同时强化了该反派角色，不至于主角给人一种不过是走个过场扮猪吃虎罢了。
如此这样讲诉故事的高手是昆汀和科恩兄弟，本片只能是个弟弟

英国演员真是充满惊喜
让我受触动最大的是老裁缝的道德坚守，他提到作为好人的有两个最突出的特点：第一个特点是，具有人性中极为罕见的、可遇不可求的反思、悟性或洞察力。第二个特点是他在自甘边缘状态而获得的自由境界。不是历史专业，但这样的人真的在史料上存在吗，善恶也并不分家，所以这个评价对我而言也具备很强的自审意义。
北野武应该更突破的演一下自己的。
神秘裁缝卷入了黑帮争斗，他沉着冷静操控局势，从而一次次绝处逢生，slay全场。
柳樂優彌真的不愧是影帝⋯⋯演了一個長得很好看的北野武（笑）這次終於被大泉洋圈粉了⋯⋯演技讚讚。這部喜歡北野武應該不會錯過才對。
