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.
1、朱一龙的第一部电影，演技在线。
今天看完点映，很感动，铁道兵yyds，朱一龙跳飞机很帅，老洪值得尊敬
很久没看电影了 狠狠满足了
作为一个从小在铁路单位大院长大的孩子，对铁路总有特别的情节，向那些前辈致敬。
虽然男主有主角光芒，但是上阵父子兵的情节还是让我感动。还有突然对铁道兵这个行业肃然起敬，太厉害了！
是因为有朱一龙才看的，但是就电影本身而言看得很感动。电影讲好了一个故事，略有点夸张的情节。
前面节奏还行，中间拖沓，后期结局完成性不够。
还真是有趣。一方面看着两个男主的斗争 你会慢慢发现 这一切的背后导演才是最大控制者。从坐到菲利克斯腿上开始 到和太子女热吻 到粉碎他们的奖 她一直都是处于一个“我是幕后但我掌控一切”的位置 其实想想 让两个人反目逼出他们的最高演技水平 到获奖 这不过是她的一场棋局。另外 换个角度想 电影会让人总倾向于利用菲利克斯靠浑水摸鱼上位的事情讽刺娱乐圈 但有没有想过 其实菲利克斯本身是真的有硬实力 只不过花边新闻太多 让人有一种希望看到退朝后他其实在裸泳但一直被他人生赢家的光环保护着没办法打他脸的感觉。怪就怪伊万命不太好吧。
单位福利换到IMAX券，一上来那个效果超棒，好像激流勇进俯冲下去。跟我看流浪地球一个感觉，当时还挺起劲，出来细想就没那么上头了。比如讲炸掉牛冠山也得男主提出来吗？工程部的人提出来，直升机过去发现锚点打不住，这时候洪翼舟接入说我可以，比现在这安排感觉合理些吧。多一颗星给朱一龙，小洪真帅啊，和小卢要永远在一起啊。
朱一龙躺在山洞里等死前跟焦俊艳通话的时候我哭得稀里哗啦，边流泪边准备迎接凄美结局。然而下一秒他暴起飞奔跳上了回首掏的直升机，我因为一种被欺骗的感觉开始愤怒。不如叫蜘蛛侠
21.9.26看完
威尼斯主竞赛第七场，之前看的都是虚假的主竞赛电影，这部才是真正的《主竞赛》！！！😂
2021.10.8观于fdu相辉堂。那位徒手攀岩的外国能人已经是攀岩界顶尖的存在，尚且要勘察地形、反复操练、养精蓄锐、装备齐全再徒手攀岩，而本片的男主遭遇大雨、岩体易碎、着力点极少，难度呈几何倍增长吧？！不过，必须向中国铁道兵致敬！这是本片的主旨所在，可惜着墨不多！
点映场看完，除文戏部分四星，算文戏三星
其实“不像人能干出来的事儿”的电影太多了，这种“怎么可能”的电影，之前韩国那个《极限逃生》连“非人类”的情况都差不多，但人家胜就胜在并不是一本正经讲故事，整个画风都很浮夸，所以他不拧巴。但这个电影，又要夸张人设又要正剧精神，就很难入戏。
伟光正风格和过度超越人体极限的剧情特别不搭，同样的不搭还体现在很多地方，超级出戏。
一言难尽。舆论各种批评一些“题材红利”、“类型红利”，这种片子也算吃了某种红利的吧，怎么就没人敢说呢……
果然、西安成都这样中原地带真的相对会很安全。
看了点映，国产灾难救援片，演员剧情都很优秀
豆瓣网友都这么严格吗……除了特效水平实在有点差，其他各种意义上都算是不错的片子。
