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.
挺好的，看了100分钟的Live。无脑享受，甜甜的白日梦爱情，越看越顺眼，磕拉了。
有很多创新
并不认为这种笔触蹩脚的社会寓言真的会带有恐怖色彩或者有明显的教育意义……同样的题材放在二十年前也许是反种族歧视的经典，而放在当今重拍只能说贩卖廉价情怀。艺术造诣上的高度真的会影响一部作品的感染能力，而这种题材又恰巧设置了对人道主义关怀的呼吁，所需要艺术性当然也就不是简单地把主角设置成画家就能够满足的。
感觉好像在演jlo的真实人生一样 她怎么做到的五十多岁这个状态太牛了 这种不需要动脑子的片子看着也挺开心
全片的剧情是非常常见的好莱坞编剧作品，非常模式化，非常套路化，非常似曾相识，剧情虽然浪漫但却非常狗血，霸道总裁灰姑娘故事的性别颠倒版。
没想到，好莱坞突然又拍这种流行歌星爱上路人的无脑浪漫喜剧，剧情实在没啥可说的，基本上可以说平庸得很，没有出人意料都是套路，所有的惊喜都在预告片里看过了………
断层感严重，前后衔接性太差，微电影长度就能表达的故事拍成长片注定吃瘪
怎么拍的那么显眼……
在学校舞会上说自己在他们的年纪做了一首歌
编剧可能看了不少晋江的「灰姑娘」类型小说，桥段也是有够生活化的...
非常千禧年！Owen Wilson看起来不怎么样但是动起来还蛮可爱的
2、其实影片的创意不错，欧文和詹妮弗的表演也不错，电影的扑街，编剧和导演绝对要负主要责任，一是剧情太过套路，情节发展全在意料之中，毫无惊喜可言；二是人物刻画没有走心，只停留在纸片人的层面，复杂度不够，可信度很低，很难引发共情。
导演像极了刚上大一时不知天高地厚的新生，总觉得天降大任于斯自己，得到题目后，心高气傲地励志创作从思想深度到表现形式都惊天地泣鬼神的巨作……然鹅呢？脑子里才气有限，能力又捉鸡，功底还没熬出来，点灯熬油很久才发现刚刚开了个头！可交作业的最后期限到了，怎么办？只能用用一副破罐破摔的颓丧收了个尾～求老师看在性本善的情理上，给个及格……哈！
我爱owen wilson,但诺丁山好得多得多得多。
剧情的确很老套。但看着就是很舒服。让人甜甜的笑。四星鼓励！音乐很好听。很难想象女主已五十多岁了，容貌和身材都管理的很棒！而且气场依旧足够！
这是现实中可能出现的故事吗？歌不错但剧情挺烂俗挺狗血的。
尬到搞笑，给两位拉丁主演加一星，好想看印度改编版啊
节奏真的垃圾的一塌糊涂。
两颗星给JLo和片子里的歌，确实很美&蛮好听。
