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.
各种与其说是隐喻不如说是明喻的镜头……最后十几分钟很精神污染扣一星 A24现在是越来越注重画面注重镜头语言而非情节……
成本两亿刀。
太难看了，就这还要搞个grey man宇宙，罗素兄弟你去看看病吧你！
差点没认出来美队，倒是女一号让我想起了银翼杀手。
欧洲列国首都一日游，没有化学反应的大牌堆积，动作戏极其僵硬，只剩下德系车宣传片，奥迪投了不少可最后高司令还是开着大G走了。
Actually not that bad实在是看爽了，就是松顿叔的戏份太少了没看够，不过哪怕是这一点戏份演技也超赞
从前有个男人打老婆，后来他死了。死得那叫一个惨。大家把“正能量”打在公屏上。
实在是太棒了，对男权社会的一记重拳。日常对话里微妙的性别角色和深层次的厌女一览无遗，也让观众都感受到女性时时刻刻存在的警惕和恐惧。几个男性角色都很典型：变态跟踪男、路边骂粗口的小混混、衣冠禽兽仿佛文明人心里厌女的神父、甚至是作为勇敢正义化身的房东… 最后都是universal的男性化身不断加以压迫。暴力侵犯和作出脆弱姿态以道德胁迫的双重策略真是对男性心理很深刻的洞察，情节推进环环相扣，直到最后阳光下对闺蜜发自内心的一笑，温柔坚强的女子力真是太棒了。
我还以为多差呢？故事虽然有点老套而无聊，但演员养眼，也没什么墨迹镜头，打斗又确实精彩，也符合爆米花电影要求啊，就是没一榔头干死那个cia头子属实不够爽。还是《终极名单》带感。（安娜拿着RPG加榴弹跑轰真的帅炸了！）
奈飞这几年拍了太多这种显示其人傻钱多的无脑大片。毫无逻辑合理性可言。
A24继《仲夏夜惊魂》之后最具邪典气质的作品，如《遗传厄运》般缓慢的节奏，文艺的腔调，大量的宗教符号和暗示，还有裸男遛鸟的优良传统。前男友家暴威胁，阴魂不散，通过几次震撼眼球的生殖繁衍，最终从别的男人嘴里重生，恰恰证明所有男人其实都是一个男人，天下乌鸦一般黑。
OMG…OM EYES… O Fxxk…怪不得改了译名… 真妙！
选角和场面确实是大开销，不过下回建议留点儿给剧本，都啥年代了还来这套老学校间谍桥段。
自从书写了夏娃偷食禁果之后，女性至今逃不过被男性归罪的轮回。前半段以绿色为主色调，大自然与女主的回音契合得非常有默契，画面充满美感，刚刚逃离男人的女主得以得到片刻的喘息。后半段用了地狱般的红色做了一场大戏，令女人恐惧的五种男人上演连环孕育。这段很解气，男性完全可以靠自己繁衍后代，但是男性繁衍出来的后代，没有一个好东西。这些罪恶的果实，却反过来强有力地对女人进行着精神控制，成功达到了心理恐怖的境界，其中还不乏思考性。虽然故事到最后都不是太能看懂，但可以肯定的是这部片子绝对不差。女性始终被男性凝视，谴责，伤害，女性需要走出这场矛盾的困局，摆脱被历史强行施加的罪名。当然大部分得靠女性自己的力量，因为帮助自己的男性，到最后很可能是伪善者。
怎么办，又把我自己看生气了。浪费了高司令和大本媳妇，也浪费了我的时间。
正经动作片。就是没啥亮点，在飞机上和跳伞时，黑寡妇和神秘海域都做的好一些，追车，枪战也是中规中矩，打戏比较差，没有拳拳到肉的感觉。几个女主我还是比较喜欢看的类型。
OMG…OM EYES… O Fxxk…怪不得改了译名… 真妙！
想起查理考夫曼的《失常》，这次是多人一面。挺cult的，虽然也就贡献了一个WTF场景，不过这个场景应该能记得好久。
反派的贱比恶更特么的有特色，美队反而不那么出众了。。。。
