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.
就……挺平淡的？看完了，就这？看完了，脑子中就这俩字：就这？
导演就鬼扯吧，挖来挖去发现下面不是金子是个金字塔。
Hell or High water Again，这次死的还是哥哥
如果男主不执意看守黄金
金子，无论你看或者不看，都在那里，不悲不喜。可悲可笑的是人类。
神马烂玩应！编剧一点逻辑都不讲吗？所谓的惊悚就是最后那一箭吧……
美国影片讽刺本国政府的不少，生物战的更多，可惜都对实际没什么影响。生物实验室还是遍布全世界——感觉享受强大的美国人其实不再乎其它地方的人。
逻辑上面有点勉强，参与袭击生物所的人突然遭遇大批警察，好像是被举报了。然后被追杀，而单单要男主的命，是为了封口吗？后面小本空场地手枪进攻房屋里的老板，不专业，完全不找掩护，被狙击枪打了，还继续往前。总体还不错，一帮退役雇佣兵，干脏活，高风险，高报酬。资本驱使下，这种事，每时每刻都在发生。
😂😂😂看名字以为是搞笑的 结果真的是一分搞笑也没有😩 看完觉得膝盖疼
镜头冷静，叙事稳当，导演关注了一个群体；但枪战让人出戏，突击步枪干不过手枪，装备精良的突击小队，干死两个，打伤一个，枪法这么烂么；三🌟纯属导演挑了一下病毒谁放的…
啥子都不行，完全一团糟，可能这就是普通人的人生吧
一个和尚有水喝，两个和尚没水喝，这个道理看来适用所有人。从信任，背叛，贪婪到扼杀，最后还有大自然的因素，沙尘暴和鬣狗团。躲得过初一躲不过十五，一切根源都是因果。搭配冷色调的画面，揭示了人性的寓言故事。最后的➹则是螳螂捕蝉黄雀在后的道理。
派恩 和小强老了好多 以为本福斯特 又跟机械师一样成了25仔 错怪他了
一部揭露人性的电影，两个男人在沙漠发现金矿，结局反转再反转https://v.ixigua.com/FFFqN6D/
真是应了“螳螂捕蝉黄雀在后”这句经典的话，不到最后一刻不知道谁输谁赢，而且往往是付出最多的反而收获最少。看这片唯一让人感到窒息的就是让我这个爱喝水，一天不喝够 2 升水的人，看的浑身不舒服，口干舌燥的。
#22#17满屏的中国元素外加棒子坠机，我先给导演点个赞。博弈论角度，男主怎么也是自己开车找机器更合理吧…结果到了二次选择机会的时候突然又猛起来了，我的评价是不如T-bag在沙漠里的选择
比较同意把这个长片缩短，叙事更高效一点，现在成片节奏拖得太慢啦，不过极简+末世废土的影像风格深得我心，让男主被大自然淘汰这招真阴呐…
这电影映射的当然是人性。不过，结合当下时事，我觉的也很对应。m国像极了男二，手握先进科技，看到哪国有资源或利益，就表面说是过来帮助他们实现民主和人权，然后制造理由，等待时机哄抢！赤裸裸的帝国资本主义！但又可笑的是，m国屡屡得逞！电影结尾一发箭只不过是一种美好想象罢了！现实中，它全世界的到处挑事，当下就在我们家门口炫耀。与这种人打交道，当真是比豺狼还可怕百倍！
我觉得还不错，人物刻画到情节，也讽刺了美国政治！
前期铺垫和剧情走向没毛病，但没懂就是承包商让主角死的目的是什么意义。
