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.
其实剧情还是不错的，就是太磨叽，几层反转也处理的挺紧凑，女主角没找好，说白了就是太老了有点不搭调
特别简单的一个片子，说悬疑推理什么的都谈不上。大概也就一个短篇故事的内容量，单薄了点。但是拍的还行，几个阶段的各种穿插回忆时间线非常清楚。让我充分认清了，对……我就喜欢派派现在最成熟的这个阶段。最大的问题是我觉得这俩人真的不来电，cp感差点
女主太老太普通。
这么多个拍微信聊天界面的镜头，拉的全是远景，完全看不清微信聊天的内容。
这是什么魔鬼价值观，为了一己之私牺牲一飞机小孩和无辜的人
派派演深情不减的昔日旧爱有一手，比在神奇女侠里当工具人耍宝男友顺眼多了
很特别的特工谍战，反转又反转，不是我想的那种剧情刺激快节奏的电影，派结尾真惨
一看就是男人拍的，找了两个完全没cp感的演员，俩人感觉各演各的，激情戏像动物世界，完全没有浪漫美感。好好的剧本，前半段又臭又长，后半段干得稀碎，导演是不是拍电视剧出身的？控制不了节奏啊？
只是眼馋Chris Pine的脸和身子..
结构上还蛮讨巧的，双主角表现得都不错，劳伦斯自从黑客帝国以后几乎没有出彩的发挥，这次的配角也还行。
以为是谍战片或者反恐片，结果是爱情片，只是没有想到。
能把劫机案都拍得如此拖沓无聊，二倍速都嫌慢，太多的感情戏份，人物情节动机都太薄弱，情报工作又小儿科有感情用事，各类大忌都来了个遍。有些演员就总是缺乏主角气场和眼缘，比如本戏男主。唯一亮点是落日餐厅，太美了！Amazon影片还是差点意思。
好一个相爱相杀，所以说有句老话叫做打开天窗说亮话，误会太深了呀。最终还是女人狠嗬。
这么多个拍微信聊天界面的镜头，拉的全是远景，完全看不清微信聊天的内容。
但，女主却意外发现男主就是造成此次飞机营救失败的内奸。
太难看了，没看到结尾的时候没想到那么难看。女主太丑太老了，男主和女主都怀疑对方是二五仔，但是在两人都决定就算对方是二五仔也不出卖对方的情况下，为什么就不互相问一下呢？问一下是你吗？是你干的吗？结尾是有一点小反转，但结果竟然是为了爱情？就离谱，感觉很牵强
猜到了开头没猜到结尾，爱情和悬疑气氛一波三折还是很浓很有看头的。
一部各方面都可圈可点，甚至还有露点的剧本杀电影。都爱《扬名立万》，还不许人家《宝刀不老》吗？
摄影美，音乐美，派派的眼睛也美，冲着惊悚或谍战来的当然要失望，是我的菜，片尾曲好好听，可是识不出。
《宝刀未老》：All the Old Knive翻译成这个标题，简直让我误判了电影类型，还以为是反恐动作片，结果就是一爱情片。不过悬疑感还做得不错，大概类似于国土安全三集联播的感觉。整部电影在回忆部分的风格冷峻，在现实部分简直是各种加州海岸的绝美风光大片。但也正好展示了电影的内核，就是光鲜之下最后的落幕。
