New York private detective Duncan "Mac" MacLain is blind but has keenly developed all his other senses. He pursues his work assisted by his faithful guide dog Friday, his butler, Alistair, and his assistant, Marty. Retired actress Norma Lawry, an old friend, comes to Mac seeking advice. Her headstrong 17-year-old step-daughter Barbara, herself a promising actress, is enamored with her leading man in a small theater production, the much older Lothario Paul Gerente. Paul, who had once been Norma's lover, has convinced Barbara that Norma actually wants Paul for herself and has only married her father Stephen for his money. At Mac's urging, Norma tried to reason with Paul, but he insists that he loves Barbara and laughs her off. Barbara is equally disdainful of her and agrees to meet Paul for dinner that night at his apartment.
Norma's husband Stephen Lawry is a scientist leaving that night on a trip to test a secret invention on which he has been working for the government and the war effort. Worried about Barbara, she uses a pretext not to accompany Stephen and goes to the apartment. When Barbara arrives, she finds Paul's dead body and thinks that Norma has killed him, even though Norma insists that he was dead when she arrived. Barbara threatens to call the police unless she leaves Stephen. Fearing that a scandal will hurt him, Norma agrees. Norma then turns to Mac, who goes to Paul's apartment with Friday and Marty, only to find the body and the rug under it missing. A man arrives to replace the rug and Mac hides in a closet, overhearing a telephone call to Norma's number from "Gabriel" to "Vera." Mac accidentally gives himself away, but with Friday's help overpowers Gabriel, who refuses to talk. Mac has Marty hide him to keep him under wraps.
Norma returns to her country home unexpectedly, which discourages an espionage ring that includes her butler, Hansen, from breaking into Stephen's safe and stealing his plans. They have killed Gerente, who was also an agent, and hidden the body. Mac arrives with Friday at Norma's house and pretends to be her curmudgeonly "Uncle Mac" who has come for a visit. His blindness lulls any suspicions Hansen might have about him. Shortly thereafter, Barbara comes home from an "emergency rehearsal", called to get her out of the house by her director, Cheli Scott, who inveigles an invitation to spend the night at the Lawry home. Unknown to Barbara and Norma, Cheli is the ringleader of the spies. Cheli ordered Paul killed because his affection for Barbara was beginning to limit his effectiveness, and she immediately suspects Mac is not what he seems.
Gabriel's wife Vera, the Lawrys' maid, is also a part of the plot. When Gabriel does not return home, Vera becomes hysterical with worry. Mac secretly asks Vera to meet him in the greenhouse, using her worry about Gabriel as a lure. She is observed by the others, however, and is killed by Hansen before she can reach Mac. The spies cut the house's telephone wires so that Mac and Norma cannot call the police, and Cheli has Mac locked up under guard. Using his blindness as a distraction, Mac overpowers his guard and releases Friday out a window with instructions to "go home and get Marty." Stephen arrives home and Cheli threatens his family if he does not give her the final step in creating his invention, which was not in the safe. Barbara finally realizes how much Norma actually cares for her. Mac tries to stall for time, but is locked in the cellar. When Hansen goes to kill him, Mac has broken the light bulb and his advantage of total darkness helps him overcome the spy. Marty and Friday return with the police. When Friday is spotted by a lookout, Mac overpowers him and is saved from being shot by another lookout by Friday. After the spies are captured, Stephen and Norma are off to Washington, D.C., with Barbara remaining behind to care for her new "Uncle Mac."
PS：最后来个复仇情节属实没必要。
法庭对质，对簿公堂的情节内核类似于十二怒汉，着重去探讨法律的意义，何为正义。背后更加深入的真相揭露，又无时无刻不在讽刺政客们的肮脏手段，转移矛盾，操纵舆论，这都是维护权利的手段。宿敌不止是人与人之间，也会是阶级与阶级之间，印度导演又用他们独特的价值观为我们重新定义了革命的含义。本片镜头语言一贯的印度风格，情节上的首尾呼应也是可圈可点，中途不乏歌舞情节。要说到不足之处就是剧情漏洞太多，经不起细细推敲，不过足以超过国产大部分影片，非常值得一看。在我们天天忙着拿《长津湖》《战狼2》这种中式爱国情怀电影的时候，这个国家已经拍出了这么多直击社会要点的现实电影，我们国人很多甚至直至今日不肯正眼瞧他们，我们要看的到别人的优秀，而不要因为傲慢付出代价。
不知道是我的要求变高了，还是大家的要求变低了，真的觉得很多情节是在充时长，设计感很明显，有点拙劣，Justin还是请不要拍影视剧了吧。
中文翻译成宿敌是什么鬼，直译过来应该是人民的名义才对嘛！
“我的出生是一个错误”在这个国家，他们唯一的错误就是出生在这个体系里，他们的出生确实是个错误。 虽然不怎么喜欢这个结局，但2022目前最佳😭（昨晚复盘电影，越想越觉得后半段为了反转而反转，使前半段很多内容显得牵强；但我还是很受震撼，也许是这部电影或多或少有点最近一些新闻的影子
自从有政治，人就在说谎，没一个皇帝不说谎，没一个总统不说谎。在这既短暂又永恒的风云变幻中，我们要反省自己有没有作为其中的一份子，促成了这个风云变幻。电影鼓励有独立意识的人去积极行动，而不是消极等待。在这场游戏中，我们无法取胜，但某些失败强似别的失败，仅此而已。
野猫知道哪家的剩菜香，吃完就走；
一堂社会学教研课，期待第二部
确实敢拍 我们所有能看到的消息都是想让我们看到的
涉及面广，女性，学生运动，黑社会，私刑道德，媒体舆论，种姓，毒教材，政治大腕。但是我觉得伴随着这种程度的反转，前面讨论议题的力量就被相对地削弱了。
讽刺隔壁翻拍电影，调侃导演北电毕业卖电子烟，让徐峥代表中国男导演向女人道歉，更重要的是，让他在十几年后再续《爱情呼叫转移》，却已经改造成彻底当下的——不仅让女性意识大抬头，更有意让男女处境互换。可能真是国产片离伍迪·艾伦最近的一次，台词写得几灵光，你来我往全是机锋和化解，沪语和取景则大方强调地域性。老克勒周野芒老师不拿个最佳男配角真说不过去了呀，那个推拉长镜全靠他的独白撑起，人物弧光拉满，亦真亦假点了片名的题。最后投影放费里尼，不迷影也不自我感动，电影看不懂，爱情也摸不透。美中不足是插曲有点满，长片首作用力稍猛，再自信点可以砍掉一半。
没有人在上海和你聊费里尼。/ 纽约独立电影的外衣，包裹几位主演十多年来交错饰演过的国产电视剧内核，打磨出一个豆瓣&小红书（重叠）用户趣味的都市爱情小品。那些常见的文艺中年，如老乌不合时宜，似老白不忍断舍离，不管「为谁辛苦为谁忙」，仍渴望「红拂」「夜奔」，拼命抓住罗曼蒂克的尾巴。取景地亲切，全程沪语是特点也是牢笼。（如果主演设定为沪漂，人物故事更加多元立体，或许会更好。）吴越真实自然；倪虹洁在KTV唱歌到关门一瞬的黯然神伤，呈现了可能目前为止最好的演技。徐峥演上海中年男人，已是炉火纯青。周野芒完全沪上「白相人」爷叔本叔，餐桌独白太惊艳！那年跑去法国留学，没有说出口的事儿或许比爱情更神话？ 结尾似《维莉蒂安娜》，也像《访谈录》，用俗世消解神话，延缓罗曼蒂克的消亡，一种“爱具体的人”之诠释。6.5
不得不承认，阿三和棒子一样敢拍敢放，对本国的政治体制，社会弊端可以批得体无完肤，种姓歧视、教育腐败、政治阴谋、媒体失责、舆论导向、社会不公、权力滥用这些人类社会逃不掉躲不脱的垢病你可以在一部电影里面都看个够。普通的谋杀案可以被政客利用，可以被民众误读，可以被舆论误导，人类的智慧的确就是会利用“工具”，乌合之众永远存在。而法庭上正义律师抽丝剥茧地丝丝入扣地揭开事件的真相这个反转设计得很高级，这让观众的思考可以更加深邃，电影本身的立意与内核顿时提升了一个档次。近3个小时的片子没有歌舞却能让人深陷其中，这相当考验创作方的能力。但阿三和棒子一样，虽然敢于自揭其短，但并不能改变现实，也不能推动社会的进步与发展，西方所推崇人口最多的“民主”国度其实依然摆烂，民众已经麻木，这样的片子出得再多也于事无补。
“因为你的沉默就是他们的通行权”看前面就想道我们的唐山事件，面对不公总有人选择站出来
导演水平太差没想法，不过脑子的直白镜头比比皆是。部分戏声音设计奇怪，任务说话像配音，画面平静配乐狂起带情绪，人物都还不认识音乐在响能有个毛的共鸣啊！？还是一股印度神剧风范。
量太大太撑了，印度电影就这点让我有点水土不服
层层递进的反转，以为是站在更高的正义，但离真相越近就越丑陋。其实你我都只是棋子。
歧视女性、操弄舆论，印度社会的问题很多，但至少法律还是管用的。
