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.
嗯嗯！
尽可猜中的简单剧情，不甚出彩的枪战场景，但好在中规中矩不闹妖，所以也是及格的。
对平淡平常和心底的反叛的表现特别朴实到位真实无比
人行天道去对另一个人发起末日般的审判，可事情的起因是没有管理好自己的多巴胺与荷尔蒙，影片的结尾像是吞了只苍蝇般难受
有部分尚可的动作，节奏，画面质感，镜头语言等，前半部分铺垫稍长，且对后半部分的塑造作用有限，总体归于尚可一看。
厌女烂片，无论是从故事情节角度看，还是从对女性的恶意角度看，都令人作呕。
前面那个什么评论啊？什么叫中国人不配看电影啊？你踏马谁啊？这电影就是有头没尾啊，手法高级但没用好啊，就是有人不喜欢啊，星际穿越都有人打1星你在这里激动个鬼啊？让我愤怒的电影多了去了，我本来觉得这值个2星，那你既然要这么说那就1星呗。啥也不是。
本来应该是弗兰克·格里罗和杰拉德·巴特勒的双雄戏，但格里罗确实表现的太弱了。亚历克西斯·拉奥特饰演的女警察竟也是BUG一样的存在。虽然我知道她那把银色大左轮手枪一定会派上用场，但没想到是在中弹失血那么久之后，整个人突然开挂。严格来说，巴特勒这次扮演的是“坏人”。他让警局真的“陷落”了。
这部与本届威尼斯同场竞技的《暗处的女儿》有意想不到的交集，同样是（反）度假电影类型，同样以一位深藏不露的主人公展开叙事。导演将主人公塑造成陷于加缪式存在主义危机的角色，再次使出《慢性》中用过的隐藏叙事关键的手法，在反常规的情节里操控着观众的注意力。一闪而过的暴力刻画并未揭开墨西哥社会问题的症结，连其后的监狱戏也稍显潦草。生硬出现的动物镜头并非高级隐喻，有偷懒嫌疑；最后的揭秘毫无必要，立刻拉低了影片的好感度。
Tim演出了虚无的感觉，没有矫揉造作。癌症直接将立意拍到地上。
前一小时很好看 后面都是能精准猜得出台词的狗血剧情…f^_^;)黑岛结菜好美好美啊 皮衣太酷了 唉不过男主上班仿佛我的真实写照 每天都在说不适合却没有逃走的理由 还有出现好几次的黎明 想要表达的寓意蛮好的 就是感情部分太狗血了🫢

开头用镜和色彩都很吸引人，剧情弱爆，格局小了 2022年1月3日 rs pro2
这次不够陷落。不是那个系列。
我觉得女主没有做错，男主的妻子是导火索，错的是男主
本来整体观感值三星，剩下的一星给结尾没有安排男女主再相遇，消失在茫茫人海中，可能才是人生的常态
最近这种white privileged迷茫痛苦看多了，真是有点反胃
大半截是话痨叙述剧情，有些场面过于西部片戏剧化，黑人演员表演太用力了
好怀念度假。The vibe is so good ~
丧到无责任无底线也是一种生活，整个电影就像尼尔看的海，约的会，吃的饭喝的酒晒的太阳，无所谓
