Constantly on the hunt and suffering from hallucinations that drive his violent nature, an unnamed man is capturing women and savagely beating them to death. Meanwhile, a woman is luring men into a violent end, by way of her knife. Driven by the same force to make the opposite sex suffer, the killers’ fates intertwine. The two must face off in a battle to the death, in which they are forced to reveal the horrible truth behind their addiction to murder.
“Brutal” takes an interesting approach to its visuals, drawing heavy influence from Western “Grindhouse” films, using a filter to make the footage appear grainy, damaged, and with light and color fluctuations. Unfortunately, the visual styling ends up feeling misguided, as other than applying the filter it does not imitate any other aspects of the “Grindhouse” genre. Despite trying to dirty up the film, it is apparent it was shot on digital. The cinematography is also a step above most “Grindhouse” productions, with Takashi Hirose proving he has talent behind the camera. Exterior shots to those taking place in small spaces are all competently framed, lit, and transition well. The decision to add an effect on top of the work hurts the film’s imagery and even gives a sense of desperation to try to capture a certain type of nostalgia with the audience, instead of relying on its own strengths. It is unfortunate when one creative choice can hurt a production so much.
The story of “Brutal” is simple but effective, it does attempt some sort of social commentary about the violent nature of men and women, but it does not offer enough depth into the subject to justify the amount of violence on display. The film does end on a strong note with an interesting twist, with a reveal that is bound to gross some out, while giving others a chuckle. In spite of its simple nature, those who enjoy films that make them somewhat uncomfortable and enjoy the challenge of getting through some ultra-violence, “Brutal” poses a fun and entertaining challenge in that regard.
一个小时了, 才短暂的见过arek在日光下的脸
男主身手还不错，不过应对力量型还是吃亏；在警局冲出去叫着Arek的名字，看到局长下了暗杀指令又冲出去救Arek，这还不是爱？我不会丢下你的。-我会去找你的。居然没有final kiss，好可惜。
巨大的阴郁和悲剧的背景下，单个人很难跳脱，也总会有挣扎留下的水花。一部电影的容量讲述这个故事，完成度已经很好了。
文艺，细腻，写实，有种2010年前后的滤镜感，譬如无尽的天空与人高的草原，阴雨天，干燥的雷声，回响的枪声，悠扬的bgm。共同暗示了这位传奇人物落寞的收场
对这个世界，同性恋们请永远保持清醒，永远保持警惕，有些东西可不一定不会再来一遍。
男主审讯eric有几个性伴侣的时候，eric看着男主眼睛说最近只有一个🤣🤣 我天
7.5，做人不能什么都害怕，尤其不能害怕自由..……
没有什么太大的惊喜，总归也还是不难看。前面三分之二的铺垫还挺不错的，最后的结局不是特别喜欢。
21年拍的西部没有一点违和感，👍
镜头色调很喜欢，但是剧情抛开背景，真让人恶心
杀人王就是杀人王，当了农民，生了儿子也是杀人王。
剧情展开转折都还不错，但是跟踪那块有点扯（也太不专业了）…另外还纠结是掰弯还是深柜…男主怎么跟桑总这么像，还都叫Thomas…
比预想的好看一点，不过太容易猜到下一秒剧情了，床戏还可以。
台词很有力量
其实 我们现在这个时代也没有多好...虽然没有暴力 但是歧视无处不在 冷漠也是
男主的造型，尤其是发型与小胡子有点像老塔。
最感人的还是那段艾瑞克被抓到警察局里面，小胡子审他的时候 。
愿乌云压过来时我也仍能勇敢地捍卫自由 看完开始循环David Bowie的Warszawa
整体很闷很平，调查戏不刺激……同性爱也没什么亮点，甚至未婚妻部分也是草草带过，让人憋屈。除了罗伯特长在审美点上之外，台词设计都让人提不起兴趣。整部片还有点装深沉，实际上内容根本无特点。
我看的版本是112分钟的。男主眼珠很漂亮。超想看那盘录像带！！艾瑞克为什么不开枪！！蠢零！！结尾感觉好无力。
