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.
几乎把美国社会最突出的矛盾都讽刺了一遍，政治作秀、有色人种、娱乐至死、意识形态撕裂、资本控制、社交网络......但电影喜剧元素并没有很多，只是觉得聒噪。等甜茶出场等了88分钟。可能是大表姐银幕形象最拉跨的一次。【Netflix】
8.3/讽刺泛娱乐化、泛政治化，荒诞不经，结局太棒了！
一堆好莱坞巨星打算唤醒世人。只可惜当下多数人会选择蓝色药丸了吧。片中的演唱会歌曲倒是蛮好听的。提醒一下，片尾有两彩蛋，必须看完字幕。
张铁林演还珠里的乾隆腔：他sexy在哪儿啊？！
反向《流浪地球》，全人类以有意或无意的集体主义形式亲手把自己送上绝路。在这个一切皆可标签化一切皆可成为意识形态斗争工具的时代，受限于它自己的立场，它最终也无法超越自己讽刺揶揄的对象，这种电影之上、现实之下的讽刺也许更为辛辣。
风格化不够彻底，后面垮了，稍微有点可惜。要是能把开篇那种荒诞贯穿始终就厉害了……
don't look up the truth and go hell...
当民主制度遭遇社交网络，在后媒体时代引发的反噬，是这个时代知识分子讽刺的主流思潮，不要总觉得西方为我们编织了一整套谎言（虽然是事实），实际上中毒最深的却是他们自己的劳工阶层。以及，American president is no longer the most powerful person on earth, for a looooong time.
遇难时：大难临头各自飞
很神奇，你把它当喜剧来看，完全笑不出来；但你把它当科幻看，omg，笑死。所以，我们这两年的生活也是这样，当喜剧来过，抑郁，当末日科幻大片来过，噢，genius！
6.5/10。不遗余力黑美国政府，黑社交媒体成瘾的世人，但我总觉得差了口气不够尽兴，《波拉特》做得就好很多。不要抬头=不要戴口罩，讽刺性很强。一直想到沈腾的表情包“累了，毁灭吧”，在地球被毁之前可以和甜茶约炮也死而无憾吧。A妹唱歌笑死我了。
该着急的时候不着急，来不及了才开始想后路。感觉疫情期间美国好莱坞还真是发扬了娱乐至死的精神。剧情是又扯又讽刺。这样一部扯电影竟然大咖云集。那个手机大咖是影射乔布斯吗？
2021圣诞电影，世界走到今天，一切看起来荒诞的不切实际的画面都已经变成了现实的真相。人生一世，尽力就好，珍惜眼前人，和家人呆在一起。
真的是一部非常非常美国的电影，美国人自黑起来 真的六亲不认。Don't Look Up，因为有颗彗星即将要撞上地球。莱昂纳多饰演的天文学教授 意外地发现了一颗巨星彗星即将在半年后撞击地球，他和学生一起向媒体、甚至总统呼吁末日危机，但是人们只把他们当作危言耸听的疯子。总统后来倒是承认了他们的这个末日论，但是她却只不过是把彗星当做了自己竞选连任的筹码，甚至联合科技公司开采彗星的矿石。本来以为是一部闹哄哄的黑色幽默喜剧、只不过借着世界末日的科幻外壳嘲讽一些社会现象，没想到最后却是反套路剧情，华盛顿的英雄主义这次以另一种形式出现在了荧幕上，试图拯救人类的科学家与家人挚友丧生在了温馨的家庭晚宴上，懦弱的美国总统带着众人在数万年的冷冻后到达了另一个适宜居住的天体 但一下飞船就被大鸟给啄死了 哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！
Excellent movie! I’m glad that they put this story on the big screen. Hopefully more of those who didn’t realize it now finally did. However I doubt that. Leave alone the incorrigible ones. It’s time for the intelligent people to reconsider it seriously: are we truly smart to let those stupid guys in charge and put us into such a situation?
现实世界跟这个电影一样荒唐啦，不要大惊小怪。
宇航员坐着飞船去炸陨石 我在想如果是王力宏 他这一航可以直接洗白所有罪名了哈哈哈哈 然后看着飞船掉头这 我拍案叫绝 不管其他 首先这个剧本是真的精彩至极。前面看到那些美国官员、一心娱乐的主持人和唯利是图企业家的丑恶嘴脸我真希望这个陨石可以选择性撞击撞死这些渣渣 还甚至害怕了好一会儿这危机真被解决了咋办 当然 那些简单明了不含糊的讽刺是这电影的关键 美国总统一切只为了选票企业只为了金钱媒体人只需要热度 看懂这些“黑”之后就会明白这陨石肯定会撞下来了 于是作为中国人就有种神清气爽的感觉。最后的聚餐看得人很难过 不过我想因为有爱 他们并不惧怕死亡 反倒是那些苟活下来的有钱人 他们没死 大概就是因为一下子死去的痛快他们不配拥有 他们会在新世界里被折磨至死！PS Leo演得是真好 大表姐造型不好看
What do I need to discover to get to see the president in the White House?
又贵又臭又长，有请广电局来剪下吧。黑到世界末日，结局好看。★★/4.7
笑喷了，讽刺的点都痛得让人拍手叫好，泛娱乐化的当下nothing serious，为科学说话的人就是现代版伽利略，群众所谓的话语权就是个笑话，人所到之处只有抓马
