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.
一个失去父爱的少年成长为作家的故事，还行吧，可能因为有了本艾弗列克才会看的片子。
很平淡，平淡得如同一篇流水账。
给本本加一星。看预告时候就觉得可能两条线哪条都讲不好，正片果然也是没讲好，写回忆录能意识流，想到哪儿写哪儿，电影剧本不能这么写啊，太散了整个故事。
本扮演的舅舅一角的确有内涵，社会早就分成了三六九等，拼命的付出改变现状去对抗阶级间的一句顺水人情…
正太JR很轻松地答出Super Cooper酒吧一众侧目然后King Harvest的Dancing in the Moonlight前奏切入的瞬间
阿拉棒球大联盟球员再就业了。熊叔好适合这类角色啊，一些灰色地带但人正义无比。剧情蛮套路的，属于一打开就能知道结尾那种。小崔继续加油吧。我本来以为他爸那事会有反转，没想到无，好吧。
never come back好像是致敬《心灵捕手》小本自己角色的吧
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。
在你迷茫的时候有他，在你开心的时候也有他，他会出现在你人生中每个最重要的时刻。你的家人，会陪着你。
心灵捕手的影子蕰片其中 ijus fuckin love this kinda noyie
还行，斯密达基操水准，但是完全没有任何惊喜，信号第二季到底什么时候回归我等的花儿都谢了赵震雄啊。
剧情平平 比较想看民载变黑的情节就结束了！！！莫呀！！！！
感覺小崔挑電影還蠻喜歡這種manly角色的，可能不能在挑劇本上努努力啊……浪費了好演技，光耍帥了，採訪裡說拍了15min的衛生間打鬥戲，完全沒感覺出精彩來，根本就是弱智/菜雞互啄嘛！！哭了
3.5/5，很老一辈美式的精神内核，其实片子本身没有什么特别的地方，但是对离家去闯荡的鼓励，以及在舅舅身上找到父爱这些元素还是带来了实际的温情。大本非常惊人的给这片子加分很多，感觉他的电影道路终于要回归正轨了。然后这个结局太儿戏了，我没反应过来呢，结果看得挺开心的一下子观感就掉了。
简单又温暖人心的故事。努力学习与一点点运气就是普通人的出路。
犯罪黑警组织片。一个联合了很多警方人员的秘密组织，他们通过与一些犯罪组织交易获取高额利润，有的人利用这些前自行享受，有的却用这个钱去抓更坏的坏人，用途不同，立场不同，正与邪也不尽相同
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。。。
为了破案而处于灰色地带的警察，受财团资助的警察地下组织。不过背后还有《越狱》式的组织。。。对于资助人的犯罪网开一面，这就是H国的惯例吧
“本来可以拍电视剧确拍成了电影”系列，信息量爆炸。血书请求两位男主人公二搭！！！
我觉得还不错，那种自由的感觉，很令我着迷。可能在另一个平行世界我也是这样的生活吧。
