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.
最近看的chick flick里面最喜欢的， 欧阳万成真的搞笑。 奶奶很潮爸爸很开明。 最后love actually反转nice
Jimmy O. Yang身價在上漲～～～
我说网飞的大数据是不是要更新一下算法了，这romcom的剧情可是越写越差了...😅
这部剧情太脱离现实了，我不相信！
有正常思维的人给这部电影打五星一定有它自己的原因
除了最后在一起很突兀，前面轻轻松松就很好笑啊
这个hard真的不是hard to watch的意思？
因为觉得这部片子不够现实而打低分的人，难道真的认为这部片子想讲的东西是不好的吗？觉得这部片子没有探讨真正亚裔问题的，难道真觉得这部片子做的努力是错的吗。起码它努力了。而这些人只会对着别人的努力倒竖拇指罢了。
匪夷所思的结局。正常的结局应该女主摊牌，男主重新认识了自己，接受了自己，也找到了更合适的家人相处模式。女主回家后收获hit文，也改变了以貌取人的坏毛病。男女主成为彼此的好朋友。over。而不是这个奇怪异常的拉郎配！两人全剧除了欺骗和交易和恶搞外，完全没火花！！搞不懂女主为啥在五分钟内突然就想明白了然后爱上男主。可能美国贺岁片必须happy ending吧。
虽然故事一般 ，但道理还是一样得，幸福得生活不要欺骗她
可以理解好莱坞为亚裔做出的努力，但咱真的有必要在提起北京前男友后接一句怹房事棒棒么？
It’s still not promising for Asian dudes
Watched during Christmas 2021 with errrer
貌似找到了我第二中意的圣诞电影！当然，《真爱至上》榜首位置依旧不能撼动，但这部真是意外之喜啊！好喜欢这个结尾！jimmy yang的演技真细致！Elena老了但依旧美丽～
15分鐘後，凸- -凸。滿屏尷尬滴看完了。
不知道这个casting director在选奶奶的角色的时候在想什么，这她和老爸的演员明明看起来一样大，怎么看他俩都是一对。production design 也混，房子和interior design怎么白怎么来。反正全家都感觉是step mom 请到家里来converting 的. 但是，但是，curls 太太太太好听了，单曲循环一周了，让我发现宝藏，➕一🌟
比想象中更轻松舒适的爱情故事，内在美比外在美更重要的命题，俗气却不过时。
昨天回家太困了，就想看部轻松的爱情片让自己甜一下，然后又看到是Jimmy Yang演的就果断点开了。里面好几个瞬间都被Josh哥哥的温柔给撩到了，这种Don‘t worry. I got you的温柔，就特别安抚我无处安放的焦虑，soooo grounding。虽然电影这个be the real you的主旨毫无惊喜，但是当这个不完美的忐忑的Josh被看到被认可的时候，我还是禁不住流了几滴眼泪。大概也是渴望这个不完美的自己不用再躲藏了吧。
如果忽略男主的造型喝身高…整个电影还是很有趣的，而且jimmy真的好有趣好迷人哦🥺但让我跟大油头秃顶的人谈恋爱…🤭
