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.
合格的大电影啦，剧版对Cai的描写的多一些，电影版是更细致的刻画了Gav的成长和经历，Gav的哭戏真的绝～重新又被baby洗脑啦～（俩人的吻戏真是笑死我😂也是万万没想到是互攻诶😂）期待第二季🎉
邪典黑色幽默，反传统，还有点恐怖，法国式的装傻充愣无厘头，耳目一新。
很可爱的……两个宝贝怎么一直在哭……不要哭了，第二季一定要在一起！！！
床戏真的蛮唯美，蛮有感觉。
Accurate, great performance, excellent direction. For audience, understanding of cultural context is required
两个傻男孩，疫情下温暖，大家stay safe。
深陷中老年危机的夫妻两人因素食者重回人生第二春，励志、泪目。
不错哈！没看过剧版直接看电影，发现两个演员都不错，镜头感导演把握得很好
还挺有意思的。 因财生意，最后因为良心发现停手。 看的那版翻译篡改杀人狂相关为“黄秋生”有点出戏。
原来一桌难求的高级餐馆的后厨是这么紧张又难熬。有点晃动的长镜头带来极强的沉浸画面感，时而模糊着光晕的画面也还原了餐馆昏暗灯光下的视觉效果，就是一个半小时看下来有点眼晕。😂
整片只有一个镜头长达九十分钟，货真价实的一镜到底。
塑造出了一个被各种事情分心以至于在厨房里一直处于状况外的主厨 出情况的时候只会说“我不知道” 哪怕不需要崩塌的情节 这也已经是地狱厨房了
剧版Gav在拯救Cai，电影版反过来了
8.5。演得真好，还是好喜欢这种社交媒体录屏结合的方式，疫情期间拍出的这个剧和电影都好赞，期待第二部
一镜到底，焦虑愤怒的情绪在餐厅内不断发酵，从后厨到大厅，仿佛绵延的战场。台词和表演都很出色，只是结局十足崩坏，差点意思。
什么玩意儿这是，尬的不行。果然不能接受这种一上来就甜的发腻，叫对方名字不比叫对方宝贝动人？搞得像两个陌生人一样。情节嘛基本没有，就一整个卖腐。结尾拖泥带水的告别也让我不适，过犹不及。
[Safety first before you thirst.]
素食主义者真够偏激的 这样那样都能扯上动物昆虫 那什么都不要吃最好了
感觉作为电视剧的衍生版电影来看还是很不错的，主角演技依旧在线，期待第二季！！！
卖肉高端玩家啊。情节挺有趣,but结局草率了 3.5星
