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.
看洪尚秀的电影很像高中语文考试的阅读理解：你隐约觉得那些突然的推拉、结尾黑白转彩色、导演介入、「关于电影的电影」等等这些小设计是有点意思，但是挠破脑袋，你也想不到/写不出所谓标准答案（aka各位装逼豆友）里洋洋洒洒、赞美溢于言表的深刻赏析。
《King Richard》唯一的可取之處就在於，即便大小威最終成功了，卻依舊無法減輕我們對於Richard的教育方式、商業頭腦引起的無數爭議和厭惡感，Will Smith演活了人設的精明勢利、全方位控制子女成長的家族式暴君， 而且導演有意識地利用黑人／女性議題包裝潛在的「凡事必先有計劃」成功學崇拜，這在荷里活看來本就是一項極具商業價值的人物傳記模式（在人物原型功成名就的基礎之上助其「重返」榮耀，再往既定的「成功」裡面注入針對不同族群、膚色、性別等社會意義，等待口碑和票房雙豐收），一宗穩賺不賠的投資買賣。早已過時落後於時代的創作觀根本不是問題，將關於成功的勵志幻夢一直延續下去（同時還能賺錢拿獎到手軟），這才是如今荷里活工業真正在想在做的事情。
陈词滥调，感觉不是king Richard 而是dictator Richard。
故事其实蛮工整的，而且也没有什么拖泥带水的地方，关于美国梦仍是那么明显，不是人人都可以轻易成功。不多不少带有政治正确吧，种族歧视、性别歧视等等，都踩在了现在的风口上。
中规中矩的体育励志电影，但是确实是威尔史密斯的个人秀。
威尔史密斯影帝表现
国王理查德，培养出了一个战神，一个将军。现在的年轻人，可能不知道当年的小威有多恐怖。
he did it again❤️🔥 金敏喜在電影院看她在戲中所飾演的角色在電影院看她所飾演的角色的電影首映
刚好女儿有天赋刚好女儿又愿意……
一个人的意志力和信仰到底有多强悍，才能stick to the plan几十年不变!?
If I gotta be brutally honest (and I will), 我对洪尚秀实在喜欢不起来，也感受不到金敏喜在本片里美/出彩在哪里。
威尔史密斯演得再好，最后真人出镜的五分钟吊打前面所有。
中规中矩的体育励志电影，但是确实是威尔史密斯的个人秀。
大威已经够委屈了，而小威委屈的更加彻底，明明我最强，结果连个故事线都分不到
计划，信念。对人来说多么重要。
励志粉饰功利，族裔牵制性别，一股父权合理化的怪异。
洗脑式画饼教育
非常坚定乐观的父亲，但感觉女儿的戏份有些少了
特别普通的一部奥斯卡制作，连结尾专门选了一场大威没赢的比赛都很刻意。 人家姐妹俩本身不比这电影好看。
难以评价的父亲，毕竟天赋才是更多的决定了一个运动员的上限，如果不是两个女儿恰好有这样的天赋，她们的生活又该有多凄惨？更不用说私生活一塌糊涂，让人敬佩，又难以喜欢
