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.
20220529 睡前飞快看完了 为了熟悉的面孔 看个热闹吧 据说是完结篇 那回头把12看看好了 哦最后弹幕居然说还会拍番外篇 人物篇
就 eeemmm 杀的莫名其妙 女主不死之身牛逼
女主唱功slay，但都不如本尊在结尾虽机能已退化，高音难上去的那一首natural woman震撼和感人呀……欧美急需能唱能演的演员，真的能唱，不是休杰克曼基德曼海瑟薇那种的……
一部比一部扯，还是第一部最好看 期待番外，每个人的都期待
非要拍外传的话，就拍前传或者中转吧，后转给他们一个美好的未来就可以了，不需要再拍出来了
在传记主人公生涯peak的时候电影结束了，不失为一种处理方法
歌和肥花的歌声是亮点，成片一般，肥花还有机会奥提吗
最喜欢片中几段音乐创作的群戏，不过全片为了兼顾Aretha音乐成就、人生挣扎、感情经历、民权运动等多方面，每条线都断断续续的，每个阶段Aretha心境的变化和展现都有点浮于表面，不够深刻，好在Jennifer Hudson这次走心了，电影片尾的部分编排的还不错，最后希望大家会一直记得Aretha Franklin吧。
故事有一些不太对劲的地方。但比较完整，娱乐性够，可看
看得一脸黑人问号… 这种当局无能犯人指挥的监狱真的存在啊？
编据瞎搞，故事线完全经不起推敲。职业杀手还不知道死的是假的，床戏也加得莫名其妙。
哎？这集没越啊…别说这个系列还是挺有意思的，继续拍我就会继续看！
意外的还不错，港味十足，哈哈。期待继续拍！！！
好烂 烂到爆 但最后搞温情混剪 搞的好想把之前一二部给看看 去看了
导演叙事功底太差了，好好的演员阵容拍的像个流水账，也没有把传奇天后富兰克林的个性和人生展现出来，东一下西一下，每个人物出现的都没有交代清楚，实在是可惜
作为很工整的传记片来说，缺点和优点都很明显，特别是在后半段叙事零散，很多事件被压缩的情况下，Jennifer Hudson也在自己的范围内做到了最好，真的值得奖项肯定。然而影片的高潮竟然是最后AF晚年表演的影象，一下子就明白为什么她代表了一个时代。
黄子桓“打完收工”年，前是结束了十年“反贪”系列，如今又迎来“越狱”三年大结局。这种无脑迎合大陆审查主流价值观的伪港片，本身在创作上就已经顺拐到不可能有任何出彩的空间。但好歹前两部还是主角们围绕越狱这一动作在推进，但这部最终章，直接就变成了彻底的反越狱，甚至影片里还加了一段公益向的监狱警示教育的内容。黄氏父子吃饭的嘴脸都不是跪着，是爬到地面上在舔了。没有张继聪，故事本身也是一盘散沙，主角和反派，正面冲突没有多少，身份比重错位的肉眼可见，情节东拼西凑，全然不顾逻辑，讲哪算哪。究其根本原因，就是人物本身就薄弱，到第三部编剧也没有心思再去费劲挖掘角色的可能性。于是干脆所有戏剧冲突都让新加入的反派来引导，导致故事喧宾夺主。反派俗套无新意，但还反衬出“逃狱兄弟”主角的更加拉胯。
詹妮弗哈德森演得好，唱得棒，让这部灵魂歌后传记影片犹如好歌串烧一般，但也仅限于此，流水账式的叙事让人在没有歌的段落难以集中精力 ★★☆
中规中矩的传记片，但是音乐太棒啦，女主也演的好，可以加一颗星。
中规中矩吧 就像是普通音乐纪录片 片尾比较精彩
