The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
内心里免不了跟不可饶恕比较，衡量半天也只能在下不才搪塞过
超出预期，归隐的神枪游侠死于宵小之手，令人惋惜
3.5。没有抑制不住的个人英雄主义情结肆意飘散，没有令人称奇的类型语汇频频闪现，甚至在这个短篇体量的文本结构内也不存在十分巧妙的强劲戏剧冲突，有的只是对《不可饶恕》式西部片未能彻底终结的“救赎式悲悯”角色形象的反动，和《暴力史》架构所呈现出暴力循环之于人负面作用的观点不完全认同。比之这两部被后来者时常效仿的佳作，这部学生作借鉴后的视觉呈现实在是太平淡了。幸运的是，也正因为这份因技拙而带来的平淡，让它在气质层面看上去没有太多蛮荒之地滋生出的荒蛮戾气，以及在技巧上供他人效仿的可能。有的时候真的会不由自主的想起，这个时代已然没有遵守老派格式规范和传统意识形态需求的西部片了，剩下回炉重铸的机械运动过程之余也就多了些大伙吐槽锻造业的自由空间。这勉强也算是一种运气使然吧。
拓荒精神下的孤胆英雄，有些科恩兄弟《大地惊雷》的影子。事了拂衣去，深藏功与名。想起戈达尔说的那句：一部电影只需要一步枪和女孩就够了。我也超想拍酷女孩枪手的故事。
拍得太英雄主义了就不现实主义，太现实主义了又没多大传奇意味，难难难
西部片大概就是追求一种情调，旷野，粗糙，野蛮，传奇，秘密。前面所有的蓄力，就是为了最后的砰砰砰。敌人全倒，谜底揭晓，这个老实巴交的农民，原来就是传说中的谁谁谁。
节奏有些拖沓了，高潮部分“快准狠”还行，就是爽的过程着实太快
质感还行，就是可能看着节奏有点慢，西部片是电影产业不可或缺的一部分啊
故事情节简单，不用太费脑，老爷告诉你老爷毕竟是老爷
有点装。坏人都得死，曾经的坏人也得死，看来老美也讲政治正确。
当代电影太需要回归这种朴实无华风了，哪怕有剧情瑕疵，它也是个正经电影啊！
节奏太喜欢了 特别棒的沉默寡言的柔情故事男的西部Home Defense的故事
2021耍酷的电影比较多。。。但不妨碍观影！
扮猪吃老虎+西部题材，男人不得不喜欢。
片子足够完整，但是都普普通通，而且极其老套。感觉就像是看了部几十年之前的美国西部片的重映版。
老爹传奇暴力史，宿命结局悼孤胆。
镜头的设计很见功夫，可惜人物不够丰满，戏尾收得太快了。
长枪，旷野，牛仔帽，骑马，血浆，苍凉的音乐，西部片元素齐全。法外狂徒所有的柔情都给了儿子。The world is changing.You go see It’s a place I don’t belong in no more.I’m hoping …..you do.结尾儿子怀亚特向着远处离开的背影好苍凉啊。
中规中矩的西部片，画面唯美，结局也意料之中
不是复仇爽片~对西部片没啥情怀的，就算了，很拖沓~
