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.
在平淡的生活中寻找激情 还有什么比这更让人感动和振奋的事呢？
擅长数学真是一件很酷的事情，退休后能有杰瑞和玛姬那样喜欢冒险、为家乡做贡献的兴致更酷。
老白代表的才是真实的美国梦，可惜现实的美国梦都是哈佛小子那种自私的资本家的精神鸦片
看完:……视效场景真牛逼
退休的高中生用彩卷来帮助他人，哈佛高材生却用彩卷来成就自己。所以有些教育真的是把人培养成一个精致的利己主义者
她总是在跑，轻易地撒谎，坦然地向生活索取以响应自身的渴望。可能正是这种让人习以为常甚至不无责备的超限让最后一幕进入电梯的行动变得珍贵非常。幽闭恐惧是她那份乐天心态的忧郁底色，每次出口却都像是又一个轻描淡写的灵巧谎言。最后我们看到这块灰暗阻塞，如何悄无声息地消融。
从良后的老白太可爱，可惜还是做着见不得光的捞偏门业务，看来我也得思考一下退休生活了。
毒师律师都开创第二职业。律师和毒师里的老人聚首就值得看
i love their attitude to their right now.
改变的比较轻松的传记喜剧 老白演一个退休边缘天才是真的很对口 片子很工整 有矛盾起伏 也有温情感人 片长不会降低兴趣 故事讲的也很完整 就是哈佛学生这一段是新老交替和社会阶级的最大对比点 有上升的人生道理 但没有到升华与对比下老白夫妇单纯的坦然
7.7 整体还不错，不过观影后看了下Cinemaholic关于WinFall奖金机制的解析，发现影片没有对关键的roll down机制进行足够的解释，有点遗憾。最大看点大概在于根据真实事件改编，系统性的通过lottery赚钱！

虽然也许爽，但改编电影的话语实在不太高明，把一个自由主义发家梦实则big players割散户韭菜
雖然是皮克斯打造，但是跟以往皮克斯能帶來的感受不一樣…
- Ivan, we are going too fast!
挺不错的，就是不要是ce配音就好了，猫猫很可爱，Izzy和Alicia都好棒，呜呜

好看，刺激中带点温情，老白的角色都挺有意思，绝命毒师是中学化学老师制毒，这里是数学天才买彩票，厉害。
