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.
最后love actually那段还不错 Christmas vibe加持 不算特别难看 始终还是很难相信女主会喜欢男主
Shout out to my boy 欧阳万成，虽然只是一个轻松圣诞电影，故事没什么亮点，无非是”真爱至上”的亚裔男主版。。。不过连续一礼拜了都霸占澳洲Netflix榜第一还真是争气
现在的爱情喜剧既不好笑也不煽情，剧情和台词既尴尬又做作还特矫情，真的脚趾抠地，无数次想关掉视频…🤯加一星给亚裔吧（虽然一个亚裔家庭这么喜欢圣诞节有点呃……可能韩国人？不过真没想到不过圣诞节的居然是Tag🤣）Josh这样温柔的男孩子也可以很迷人👏
really surreal and silly but kinda feel we need it
冲着《硅谷》里的Jian Yang来看的，剧情很简单，最后宣布婚礼时矛盾爆发的高潮也只是草草完事
那些年最爱的女主角主演,在爱情中做自己真的很重要，片尾致敬了love actually 也算是小惊喜了，就是圣诞电影也太早了点吧！
五星给欧阳万成。这么白的电影类别里他能当男主就是圣诞奇迹了。以及他演得很细腻，我们这种从小就长得不好看，爱而不得的悲伤，他演得特别好
啊，看了开头就知道结尾的剧情，但是看了之后好想过圣诞啊。岑哥我又看见你了，咋又帅了呢
中规中矩的Holiday season 的搞笑电影，打发时间不亏
看了开头就能猜到结尾系列。有点俗但没那么俗。
n…Natalie is freezing…
蛮传统的轻喜剧，最后一段致敬真爱至上点到了感动点上。
如果相信爱，就继续找寻、保持耐心。她/他不完美，但他/她让你觉得，一切都很值得
不过欧阳万成真的可爱 好像大雄 女生站在他旁边仿佛他的私教
和love actually的连结 加一星
片子两星，给亚裔男性打气一星，喜剧holiday题材一星。准备圣诞月看十部喜剧提提气
因为silicon valley而喜欢上这个亚洲段子手，但竟在最后一个香甜的吻的镜头不出所料的跳戏了：ehhhh心疼nina五分钟。
妮娜咋老成这样了 心塞塞 但是Everyone needs a little Christmas romance 作为一个圣诞电影 还是完成了使命的 :)
最后一段致敬《真爱至上》 是很有圣诞氛围的爱情电影，Nina也瘦了好多越来越美了，但是为什么是女孩子在勇敢追爱勇敢面对自己啊！真的没有男性pua心理让女主最后求原谅吗？我！不！信！
精致的流水线作品，很老套的故事，最后还设计个真爱至上
