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.
其实把这部分缩短，把和黑帮的矛盾放宽放长，片子就会好看很多。
D+ / 走马观花，天旋地转，一路狂奔，不知疲倦。
人物设定比较有化学反应。堪比吃鸡的医学奇迹。结局过于平淡，政治正确+过审。
黑帮的火力和鲁莽也看不懂，800万就值得跟警察全面开战？美国黑帮的牛B都赶上墨西哥和哥伦比亚了？
吉伦哈尔最近好像热衷于演坏人。
卖拷贝老师的“复古”陈词滥调，“创新”之处在于漫天乱飞的无人机，镜头又碎又散又凌乱，剧情又拖又垮又没逻辑。
这导演是不是就会爆炸和飙车了？
迈克尔·贝（MichaelBay）是唯一一个能在屏幕上同时出现上千件疯狂而又各种不合理事情（远程网上开腹手术、救护车油箱？）的导演！但无人机拍摄追逐镜头还是鼓舞人心的。
（就…當作'爽片'輕鬆看…）（22.03.25_松仁Titan）
我就想知道“大疆”赞助了吗？难以置信如此无节制地重复自己的卖拷贝是水瓶座。
70/100 有种当年看地铁惊魂的feel，所有的观感都是直给的痛快。
拍摄手法很特别，剧情很紧凑，效果也很不错。主角也很喜欢。私以为分低了。
全片八成的戏都是在公路上开展的警匪追逐，迈克尔·贝导演通过大量的手持摄影、不规则构图、多视点交叉叙事、快剪快切，这种炫技式的视听语言调度，使较为单一的场景及情节营造出了紧张眩晕的氛围。不过毕竟整体内容单调，高频动作戏、过度感官刺激同样也会导致审美疲劳，略嫌冗长。另外，救护车中严重枪伤的警察居然能在如此长时间激烈、急速的飚车中生存下来，实在是过于奇迹化了，显得失真。而且，一路上只顾车内一个警察的救护却不理大量追捕警察的性命，逻辑上也不通。。。
兄弟俩的逃难之旅根本不在计划内，太业余的行动，
迈克尔贝不愧是卖拷贝，不少镜头都像是从变形金刚里复制粘贴过来的，就差汽车和直升机嘁哩喀喳变形了，比起拍动作片，卖拷贝或许可以尝试拍拍喜剧片
这两年看了太多的烂片，这部算是各方面都在线的好莱坞片了。动作，特技都在线，情节简单，演绎了好莱坞版本的盗亦有道，有小瑕疵但是瑕不掩瑜，全程无尿点。
剧情是挺紧凑，结局很扯淡。
指挥官让警察全力追击，但是发现冲最前的车里有自己的狗时，马上让所有人减速别追太紧。这一手“狗命贵”的讽刺还是玩得挺缺德的。
1、是个爽片，还算比较紧张，直升飞机桥下追捕、自制机关枪战车与警方对干 都还不错。 2、黑人退伍军人与家人视频通话的桥段有点打动我了。 缺点：道路上的时间太长了一些。 视频通话指导外科手术的桥段有点扯。
剧中两主角，Danny 为了情谊拔枪勇斗黑帮大佬；Will为了女人朝兄弟背后放冷枪，，，，等等，是为了哪个女人？也可能是为了Amy吧。
