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.
东木老爷子啊，真是倔强又可爱，电影里那么瘦弱，很明显这个角色不适合他，但一点也不讨厌，我想我是把故事外的情感带到了角色里了，电影的故事平淡如水，而每个角色都像亲人一样，只能说主角光环太大，最后的犸酋才是MVP！
看过的东木电影里最没劲的一部，故事无聊，演的无聊，暮年英雄梦也表现得陈旧俗套
what the fuck ?
依旧是暗黑的温斯蒂为主角，但内核仍为有爱的搞怪一家。
上海电影博物馆
科学家用“抱错女儿”的理由得到Wednesday，亚当斯一家怀疑但只是拼命躲开科学家，有点牵强。
全片唯一的动作戏是由一只鸡完成的。硬汉真的也老了，说台词都怕他一口气没续上。
没有1那么好笑了可能这种片子比较适合日常剧情？
是谁花一个半小时看章鱼人大战牛头鸡……一点都不亚当斯…
略微有点失望，但是为了童年记忆不忍心三星。。。
这次终于没有人死了。近些年老东木的电影看起来是无限的套路，也充满着无解的人生选择题，就像他自己说的：你以为自己什么都懂，老了却发现什么事都没有答案，等你找到答案却为时已晚。在夜色中抽动嘴角哽咽着回忆自己伤心往事的画面好熟悉……
什 么 东 西🙄️哥特家庭公路片，恶心完了。
亚当斯版公路片哈哈 剧情有点弱但是音乐很好听
合家欢，失去亚当斯的特质。八爪鱼菲斯特大战四不像的时候，我真是笑出声。
某一天 突然发现某一部电影 它的剧情好坏已不重要 优秀与否已无足轻重 看着 想着的 不再是剧情合理否 故事优秀否 而是荧幕中那人的一切 无论是对面对诱惑心有余而力不足的自己的自嘲 还是心中那作为一个西部边陲小镇的救世主而出现的初心 亦或是作为一个年长者对于青年少年的经常的吧啦吧啦 老爷子的一生已足够精彩 塑造了许许多多的荧幕经典 相信对于所有喜欢他的人所期望的 不再是作品 而是保重自己
九十岁高龄的男主角 多少有点不可思议 更不可思议的是持枪墨西哥黑帮干不过公鸡
拆散了伊斯特伍德的老元素，拍得像个儿童喜剧，由于台词需要转译，所以电影以老者的节奏留出了空间供人细嚼慢咽。缺点在于小演员的状态总在可爱与做作（英语台词和反应镜头）间反复横跳。
很烂，BGM比较印象深刻，剧情低幼且好无看点，可能已经过了那年纪...
20210926le。老导演已经看淡一切了，平平淡淡才是真。
D＋/ 从照片/图像的不可信到类型/形象的不可信，几乎是通过一只鸡穿梭在人物故事和叙事模板之间信笔散文了。当然也可以看作《理查德朱维尔》中那个连接中心与边缘的长镜头所展示出的“边境”扩写。有动人之处甚至有点被煽哭……不过除了一些朴素的良善信念和轻轻落下的生命感怀之外，好像还是没有太多别的东西。
