长篇影评
1 ) Cinematic Hokum (By BOSLEY CROWTHER)
If somewhere along in the beginning of this patently fancilful tale about a man who can foresee the future the audience were taken aside and told it was just so much nonsense, it might be acceptable. And even if all the antique business which clutters up the ènd were put on a strictly burlesque level, it might wind up tolerably.
But no. From the very beginning to the very end of the film, we are asked to believe that a fellow might really have supernatural sight—that an ex-vaudevillian might forecast not only what horses will win but who will be killed in accidents and what attempts will be made on peoples' lives.
Now, this sort of thing could be charming — or funny, at least — if done in a spirit of thinly veiled fooling or out-and-out fantasy. But here it is done in somber fashion, with Edward G. Robinson playing the gent as a figure of tragic proportions, fatefully chained to a crystal ball. And Gail Russell plays the young lady whom he vainly forewarns against peril in a mood of distinct melancholia, with her face all the way down to here.

悬疑与黑色结合在一起的Noir，气氛做的不赖，有几处地方还蛮惊悚的。罗宾逊的演技很精湛。又一冷门佳作。
玄幻类黑色电影, 爱德华·罗宾逊演技依然过硬-进组第六部译
大多数人再回首往事时，都会看到命运触动他们生命的那一刻：一份新工作、一份意外的继承、一个快速的决定。命运不知不觉降临到我的身上，就像窗玻璃上第一滴细雨，但直到第三滴、第四滴或第五滴水时，我才意识到这场雨即将吞噬我的生活。
多年后你会知道是不能欺骗死神的～挺有趣。
就整个设定来说很吸引人，我太喜欢这种悬疑加超自然的题材了，跟同类风格的《玉面情魔》比起来，这一部走的更像是通灵神探的路线，主人公由原来的惧怕和逃避命运到最终和命运抗争，阻止了自己ex的女儿的死亡，短短的一个小时多的故事，充斥着大量的信息和内容，勾起了我足够的兴趣，Edward的演技毋庸置疑，直到最后，片子还是留下了一连串对于未知领域的疑问，让人意犹未尽
悬疑
EGR献出精彩的、haunting的旁白与演出，soothing的嗓音把一切讲得引人入胜，除了困惑与恐慌，更可贵的是先知empath带来的痛苦，也被他演绎得真实动人。前半段很好看，几场马戏和报童那场戏拍得好。后半段调查坠机事件开始剧本一路犯蠢，越来越像一个CW的单元剧。Gail忧郁的眉眼温柔美丽，John Lund的存在感还不如精美的摄影高。
3.5 骗子还是疯子，中后段在这悬而未决中没找着情节重心
这一切，真的有可能发生吗？
超能力黑丝，无法打破的宿命
作家范儿人文主义剧作的巅峰时期作品啊。男主悲剧，无辜的女性。来自日常生活的精致的转述和神秘化，很像化身博士的对科学有限性的思考。挺可爱的。
超能力系黑影，有the Twilight Zone内味儿了
天啊最后被女主和伙伴蠢死了行吧剧本安排的。
灵异神秘主义noir，强烈的宿命感！编剧牛逼！ 爱德华·罗宾逊演的太好了！
三星半。黑色电影引入超自然未知力量的题材挺少见。爱德华罗宾逊扮演一位能预知未来的psychic。既然是笃定发生的事，何不为爱人勇敢挑战一次命运？好可惜。。警探也太笨了，不相信他却又按他所说的“未来”放松了警力漏掉了嫌疑人。
神秘主义，罗宾逊把人物的焦虑、恐惧和忧愁演的入木三分。
氛围营造得很好，能预知未来却改变不了宿命，这样的能力到底是福是祸……
约翰·法罗营造的悬疑氛围很不错，灵异事件和谋杀吊足人胃口，罗宾逊这张老脸就是演技的保证，再说句题外话，即使是二流的黑色电影都很好看
与前一年的玉面情魔有着同样的职业背景——表演天通眼，与后一年的大钟有着同样的导演——约翰法罗，米娅法罗她爸。但主宰整部影片情绪和氛围的那个人叫作——爱德华罗宾逊。"there are things on earth still hidden from us, secret things, dark and mysterious."
想起许冠文《神算》里的青蛙灯，如何避免都逃不掉的命运。
