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.
戳爷颜两分，友亲情一分，致夏日BE,三个月的等待、浪漫和友谊，夏天真是个美好又遗憾的季节……
画面很美 特洛耶希文美如画 眼睛的颜色很好看 印度小哥乍一看不好看 看久了还挺清爽的 南佛罗里达景色不错 很有夏天气息的电影 海边 阳光 高三少年 新恋情 男主等待感染结果的日子 这三个月太煎熬 结尾很虚无 以为遇到了一段爱情 但这是短暂的 “时间不可能永远停留在这个夏天” “我只是你奔赴美好前程前消磨时光的玩物” 让美好都停留在那个令人紧张的夏天 都需要乐观地向前走
md 导演你自己去感受一下 爆米花倒在全是毛的胸上吃一口连着毛一起进去的感觉好不（本人没试过）但能想象到了！太难受了 可恶啊
我感觉我又相信爱情了！！！！
感觉像是专门拍给女生粉们观看的偶像片。戳爷的颜值的确很高，但演技还有待打磨。加油加油
作为莎翁最狗血的大悲剧之一是一篇野心巨大的习作，表现主义形式的框架但过分极简
念白很舞台化，背景很表现主义，光线是最棒的。华盛顿和麦克多蒙德的表演就中规中矩吧。整体文本的内核和构思没有太大新意。如果能移植到舞台，复刻光线和背景，我觉得感受会更好。
是不是每个天才导演都想挑战下莎翁剧，不过有黑泽明的珠玉在前，科恩这个形式感玩儿得稍显呆板，完全把精力压在了构图摄影这些技术层面上，文本和人物就没什么创意，华盛顿挺卖力但不对味，身上没有暴君感。
一部合格的青春教育片，电影色调很美，虽然剧情和主题都有点老套，但是还算值得一看。另外一提，戳真的很绝。

凌晨1：42看完，故事挺有趣的，戳爷还挺可爱，我更愿意定义为青春成长片，拥有美好的友情和亲情是最幸福的事情，爱情就算啦（只有泰勒斯威夫特的世界受伤了哈哈）
戳爷的颜 故事也跳脱得不错 z时代的青春 所有的青春
戳爷的眼睛简直就是ocean eye 但是他怒吼起来真的很自带喜感…
D— / 和「曼克」一块儿打包去世，没有说这两部很像的意思...
一般拍summer romance都不太容易出错 鲜艳的配色清爽的少年加上恰到好处的配乐 氛围就出来一半了 剧情确实是很常规但也流畅 讲爱情友谊家庭实际上都是在讲个人的成长 唯一不足的就是最后那段everyone leaves me 的煽情略刻意 整体上戳爷演得还不错 青春就是等待与未知 重要的是你是否能以“raise your fist in the air”的姿态等待…
哈哈很好看啊！虽然是小糖水、有点单薄，但总归来说很灵的，尤其戳婊婊贱贱的表现很惊喜。戳肯定成不了甜茶的，但他有点像甜茶的双子星版本，可爱
印象中是第一次看莎翁舞台劇形態的電影，覺得演釋得比一般同樣改拍的戲劇好些，但也不見得有什麼令人激賞之處。
好舍不得呀！Leo 和Fiat 之前的爱情还让人羡慕，陪伴是最长情的告白🥹可是请告诉我，为什么弟弟和学长没有HE！！！
有事吗？这部比刻在你心底的名字评分低？好夸张……整体逻辑自洽，中间还是有戳人的点，镜头也很好看…我觉得算是中上了吧…是不是因为AIDS题材共情少呢…（所以影评有人说男主“无情”？我无语先…）（看完后马上下单了艾滋病检测试剂…）
