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.
啥节奏啊...断断续续一个星期都没看完 这么多实力派演员不应该啊
对于家庭心理和阶层问题都停留在表面，剧本比白开水还淡，除了克鲁尼以外完成的都挺不错，请克鲁尼不要想象自己能转型成一代导演了。。。
蝙蝠侠和美国队长各自都已经演过超级好的（梦想有个这样的）舅舅了。昂～
拖沓且故弄玄虚，只想快进，节奏奇怪。一个小时能讲完的得费劲吧啦讲两个小时……一星给全员没有掉线的演技。虽然是小崔的咱也不能无脑打高分啊……
就不难看，韩国类型片的及格水准。这类型啥时候能重振雄风啊，好久好久没有优秀之作了。
挺中规中矩的回忆录电影，流水账似的从小到大还真是没啥波折，背景音乐好听；画面质感上佳。我想开个雨果酒吧。
一个好平凡的故事 不知道有什么意义表达
好久没看这么暖心的电影了 查理舅舅在小侄子的成长中撑起来一片天地 弥补了父爱 也做了人生导师
赵震雄霸气侧漏，实力派一个稳字。题材比较新，内容有点飘
冲着克鲁尼和阿弗莱克去看的，Jr不管是小时候还是长大后都长着一张不讨喜的face....
但是配乐还是很好听
叔叔真棒，自学成才，小侄子成长道路上的永远的导师。
还要大赞永远的克里斯 罗伊德 一场在沙发上与女儿讨论小盆友未来的争论 一次正装参加小学生亲友聚餐 。。。不到10分钟的演绎 就让一个坏脾气 却热爱家人 受过高等教育 又固执别扭 老头子形象跃然屏幕
大荧幕真的厉害 肤质完全无滤镜 把小崔五官看的明明白白；剧类型有些审美疲劳 秘密森林太难逾越
一部比较生活的电影就像平平淡淡的人生没有啥大风大浪，就是继续生活温柔前行。没有太多打动人的点但也不矫揉造作，属于很平静的一部电影，有能够依靠的长辈有一起喝酒的朋友有自己坚定又不那么坚定的梦想，这样的人生何乐而不为。
小男孩JR的童年中虽然父亲缺位，但是身边有查理舅舅这么一位角色充当了其人生导师/朋友/家人/心理咨询师的位置，（but！绝不是充当了父亲的位置。）
配乐真的太多太吵了，哪有电影从头到尾都是配乐啊？也不是很搭，太喧宾夺主了，电影走向太好猜了，中规中矩，看在演员份上3星。
原著的内容太丰富线索也太密集导致两个小时很难条条是到的顾全所有，但完成度还是不错的，警界并不是非黑即白也一定不是正义为先，一个卧底的自我认知和自我抉择的推理故事。我个人觉得如果是警官老欧巴和小鲜肉的感情戏为“基”础那应该更有信服度，真的。
很带感！节奏紧凑不拖沓，作为犯罪片来说还是很可看的。全程磕到班长和忙内哈哈哈哈哈
不推荐，有一点boyhood的影子，有创伤的小孩长大，也没有多温柔
