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.
剧情很拉，不过这种电影有俊男靓女就够了，在假日看就很舒服
没端住的架子-09/18/21 at AMC Garden State 16
里面有一闪而过的我喜欢的实验代餐，好久没看到了有爽到。这个故事走向，还好是拍成了这个没有人味的冷淡风格，不然我真的看不下去
是大脑的电影，而不是手的。这对玩牌的手，虐囚的手，杀人的手，在荧幕上近乎隐身。是禁止运动的电影，停滞的电影。布列松的手凿，摸，偷，是欢愉的手，冲动的手，而施拉德的手是冷漠的。大张旗鼓地包起所有家具，简朴到铺张，也背离布列松本意。刻意低调的表演不过是一种赘饰。
主演这两人火花是真的chuachuachua剧情太拉了
无功无过爱情片，彼此顶嘴的话术还是可以学一学的。
男女主的化学反应真是没得说。好久没看过这种俗得我很喜欢的电影了。
cliche but I still buy it
虽然剧情离谱可是看这种爱情喜剧片真的很轻松，男主散发浓烈的荷尔蒙
老套的题材，帅哥靓女，职场内外的较劲、斗嘴，典型的＂爆米花影片＂，看着不累，纯属消磨时间的不妨一看。
这片子唯一的作用就是为我科普了不同颜色的蓝色衬衫。
这片评分只有六分?算牌人虽然没有保罗施耐德前作第一归正会那般狠辣，但还是保留了其延续至今的创作理念——自杀式袭击是否能真正挽救一个人的过错以及实现社会的进步，这一点立意的阐述要比把暴力运动粉饰成平权运动的sb片妇女参政论者强太多了。除此之外，算牌人还讽刺一些无脑幼稚的青少年无法看清矛头来源(类似第一归正会和玉子讽刺极端环保主义者)。反派戈多有一句话说的没错，在这里无需要分辨黑白对错，获取一切有利于人民的利益(假借国家二字)[/狗脸]
不明觉厉，但是情感上给不了高分，感觉有点雷声大雨点小。整体克制的调度挺提升逼格的，一些特别的情况的镜语，比如虐囚监狱的类VR感的场景，非常有冲击力。音乐我很喜欢，选的很托氛围，其中有些好像是奥斯卡伊萨克自己唱的？
不过也算是没有快进的片子，6.9/10 21/09/20
在凝炼的整体之下，以与人物目光拥有较多对视时刻的方式逐渐建构起独属于我们与主角的空间。对比文本溢出的前作明显话少的情境才能赢得观众更多的共情，不再是灌输的而是由衷的，这样的情感产生也是余味最悠长的。Tell极少坦露过内心，但在事件渐进下他的脸庞早已言说完关于过去的一切，Robert Levon Been的原声则包含了为过去愁闷的所有情绪。
好像没一幕亲历过，但是很多细节都能唤醒遥远的记忆。竟然现在美国还拍这么老派的片子，不知道IRR是怎么样的
这个片真是尴尬与好笑并存，不过展现一下当代时尚生活，比如装修，还是值得肯定的
以职场同事兼对手为切入点的恋爱戏比较少见。男女主相貌虽一般但胜在CP感还不错。
现如今chick flick越来越少了 且看且珍惜
20220302 剧情可以说是看了开头就能猜到结尾，虽然男主的人设转变的有点过快，但是，谁不爱看这种这种甜甜的不用动脑的love love片呢！
