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.
如果说毒品是百害而无一利的话，那它唯一的好处也许就是让服用者忘记疼痛吧。
这是干啥呢啊？动作和惊悚？惊悚搞哪呢？惊悚拍丢啦？
警察必定便当定律，有点麻了。开放式悬念集大成者，设计密室推理并不难，设计单纯的血浆追杀片也不难，难的就是把这种观众全知视角、部分角色有限视角的悬念尽量延长，譬如《悬崖之上》
明知大雪封山走不了，坏人是谁都不明确何必急于拆穿，除了这点其他还算正常吧，女人时刻怒目圆睁的样子吓人
莫斯科男子😄😄😄
反派最后话多，这种桥段我猜在电影学院里肯定会有个什么学术术语的，比如“找死吟唱”之类的。
最像反派的黑哥居然是唯一的好人 可惜挂得早
女主如果不是后期武力值爆表，她那把“我的天啊我发现了车里的小女孩到底谁是绑匪是不是你是不是你”心理活动刻在脑门上的眼神表情真的挺讨厌的
黑白黄人种都有了，政治正确合格的小成本惊悚片。
暴风雨山庄模式的经典套路，看多了，只能给6分
爆米花电影，典型美国英雄主义。搞笑一般，无脑剧情。
少见的小成本悬惊悚佳作，半封闭环境下的亚裔女主智勇斗悍匪，全片节奏紧凑，逻辑合理，观赏性娱乐性俱佳，三星半值得一看。
还可以 有几个小反转 女主有几个角度和镜头竟然跟蒋勤勤很像 好神奇
其实是非常老套的犯罪加反转闹剧，最后的长镜头打斗是唯一亮点，不过凯文哈特的片子向来是这样。ps:大爆炸的潘妮出场
故事短小精悍，多次反转也让观众倒吸一口凉气。在场的人没有一个不是罪人，是低配版的《八恶人》，但是每个人的形象依旧立体。只是觉得这个片名我不是很能理解……
so boring,so many stupids
2022.03.02一个人在蓝湾看。车内身亡→Larse→Ash→Sandy，波浪不大，但却有推进。PS. 女主第一眼有5分像巩俐。3星。
挺搞笑的，就是后面剧情拐的太全家欢，有点拉
女主很可以！疼痛发出的声音很真实了！拔出钉头这种事也是对自己狠的亚裔才能做的了😂
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
