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.
暴力动作爽片，剧情可忽略不计～ 女神老了，但身材保持得很好！3
冲着尼基塔去看的，赤裸特工，已无法超越。40多岁还是这么打斗，不容易。多一星给辛苦。
我好久没在电影里见到Maggie Q了，没想到四十多岁还依旧能打。不过本片有几处节奏有点疲软，感觉导演还是剪辑对一个动作片的叙事把控欠点火候。最后，mf侠还是那个味儿，蛮有意思。
前面还可以 上床了以后 大脑就自动屏蔽后面剧情了 Maggie Q还是很美
差强人意，老套路，作为对手的男女必然上床。话说杰克逊居然没有爆粗口，有点不适应，哈哈哈
女权爽片了，公主一点都不白瘦幼，战斗力超强。
Maggie Q looks gorgeous, but.. that would be all for this movie
爆裂，动作枪战暗杀，节奏紧凑，幸好给了安娜一个好结局，便宜那会背爱伦坡的小子了。为什么非要杀老头没看很明白
感觉没看明白 不得不说李美琪 迈克尔基顿和杰克逊这个阵容很吸引人 但故事讲的有一说一确实很烂
Mr Cool的这嘴，干净过吗哈啊哈哈一帮老戏骨了真是蛮搞笑的～～～Samuel Jackstones 的basement floor也是惊艳的不行！我也好喜欢Maggie‘s house！“在London买下一家古书珍藏书店”、还有比这更愉快的人生吗！！！这部片子美翻了！！各个景和设定；美琪女士拍戏维持状态也是够狠哎。
白老男人和Q见两面打几下就干床上了?然后一秒，就躺平了...
唯一亮点可能就是少数几场比较有力量感的打斗戏份。
老黑假死，当年老白雇佣老黑杀自己假死，现在被老黑查到儿子想灭口，最终老黑在地堡炸毁老白，最后，女主和老白保镖举枪对峙，女主走了出来
武戏还不错 但故事能不能走点心？ 基顿特别像个憨憨
简直瞎了我的眼，这玩意儿也能拍成电影？女拳？整治正确？拜托你们也找点好的剧本来宣传这种垃圾行不行。
近两年女权风潮渐盛，女杀手类型片也开始量产，但真材实料的不多，至于片中两位杀手从生死相斗直接滚到床单，着实有点莫名其妙。本片总体而言过于平淡，传统，没啥太大亮点的。
讲了100多分钟的玄学故事，就是不把越战遗产主题给点明。我有时很疑惑，这些不算差的技术团队围着一个装腔作势、不知所云的本子转几个月，是为了洗钱吗？这是温克认真写出来的本子吗？还是将写在便签上的零散创意拼出来的本子？
有些老牌无聊的动作片 演员都是90年代巨星 放在现在脸上有一些难以掩盖的痕迹 动作场面设计的没新意不怎么好看外 剧情实在太不合理 来回切换三个演员 拿老掉牙的复仇传承猜忌往上按 有些不那么合适 也会很违和 不知道meggie q担当主角与她的肤色有多少关系 但效果其实很一般
刚开始感觉还行，越来越发展成装逼犯。Maggie Q真老，演技属于内心戏很重哪一路
典型的套路化的复仇杀手，但戏剧张力明显不足，所有人都是脸谱化的工具人。唯一的亮点是前半段的伦勃朗，亦正亦邪，立场不明。Maggie确实上年纪了，再演这种内心单调的美人杀手就有些太浅薄了。
