Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

可以鼓励鼓励其实全程无尿点，只是我们看过电影太多了，类型相似，有一点bug就不高分
一部不用靠猜猜凶手是谁，用细节剧情来推动故事发展的好电影。饰演达比的亚裔小姐姐演的太棒了。要知道亚裔在欧美电影里当主角，真的是太难了！希望以后能多点这样不是你追我逃，我追你死的低成本佳作
一个刁蛮的有钱人家的女孩被绑架了，一群人被飓风封锁在一个游客休息站。故事开始了。
这片子的编剧还是有点东西的，在一个半小时的规格之内将“暴风雪山庄”模式运用到了极致，不断制造各种危机和揭露（反转），几乎是将戏剧张力做到了极致。简洁无废话的开头，以及干脆的行动，都是电影的加分项。本来想给四星来着，看到结尾主角和反派双双降智，有一万种解决方式非要用最不合理最麻烦的一种，一怒之下扣一星。
杀手不好当，杀手的搭档也难做。看这电影有点浪费时间，不过毕竟看了部电影，所以也不算纯浪费。如此而已。
反派执着于碎叨叨+总要把女主留到最后杀+创造条件给女主反杀机会。成本小，逻辑差，故事线刻意不合常理。差评。
3.5 man of Tokyo竟然是山下智久？？？
这扑克玩法是富坚义博发明的，幻影旅团玩的。
比想象中好看，用心的小成本制作，女主演技不错，故事情节紧凑，反转也在情理之中。7分！
还可以，小成本犯罪剧情片，剧情有起伏，没什么硬伤，滑倒那下太好笑了
让人惊喜的小成本电影，女主为了看望生病的母亲，漆黑的夜里，一人驱车前往医院，路上遇到了暴风雪只好在服务站等待雪停，一群陌生人在此相遇。女主发现他们其中一个人的车里有被绑架的女孩，想尽一切办法解救女孩，电影有几次小反转很精彩，比如玩牌游戏和女主发现坏人不止一个的时候，电影演到中间我以为黑人大叔是救兵，谁知他原来是来打酱油的，靠男人拯救一切还是算了，关键时刻还是要看女人，女主智商一路在线（女主手腕被钉钉子还是挺疼的）与坏人搏斗到底，电影有小刺激也有小心思，全片完成度挺高。推荐。
垃圾剧情，为了一个渣孩子送了五条命，不值不值不值。
最像反派的黑哥居然是唯一的好人 可惜挂得早
本片無疑是流水線式小本驚慄動作片，但這是當中的上佳之作，最適合周末夜晚觀看。
反转紧张刺激 全员演技在线 尤其是亚裔女主小姐姐 钉枪恐惧 疼得心脏受不了看得直皱眉 红蓝警示灯下的仰视雪花镜头
故事不赖 演技都很棒 特别是这个亚裔的女主小姐姐 就是不知道这剧组是太缺钱了还是怎么的 最后决战的这个血浆也太太太假了吧 明明就是番茄酱
女主的智商持续在线，这在犯罪电影中还是比较难得的
我们小时候，经常玩电影里面的打牌游戏，我们这里叫吹牛。
观感很痛……亚裔女主身手干净利索，小空间的紧凑张力，处理的很好，但影片有给毒品正名之嫌。
6.5/10 还可以，磕药💊的威力这么大吗
