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.
一个丧女的登山妈妈来救援一个失恋的大男孩的故事，实际是2个失去希望的人通过不同的寻死方式，最终找到了继续活下去的理由。最好看的部分也就最后十分钟的样子，2人的碰面对话，来解释2个人的心理状态和变化。
又是这种''谁都不是无辜的''类型电影，景色真美，女主真鲁，最后来一个误杀，很失败的结局，还有一堆大家提到的不符合逻辑的地方就不说
说实话、导演拍的镜头画面还挺有美感的、但我真的不知道看了个什么、感觉看完跟没看没区别、
记录了一件小事，但刻画的非常细节，剧情不行
故事是圆了，但怪怪的。好几个点在生活中也实在不可能成功吧。
不愧是我女神Naomi Watts，演悬疑片太入戏了，John小强以不死之身向Pam诠释了生命的意义，就是她2个宝宝到底是怎么死的？片子里也没说清楚
剧情没什么新意，还是法式搞笑外壳配温馨家庭大团圆结尾，演员都不错，哈哈，感觉很适合陪长辈（未来公婆什么的）去看
那个阿根廷小白脸真是个人才，片尾彩蛋没他直接降一星（
最标准也最没野心的类型小说的结构、节奏和起承转合方式，基本上及格，但就止于此了。所有转折都能猜到，没什么惊喜。90分钟杀时间的爆米花片。
我的queen B ，love u always
你想看的它都有系列，两个陪酒郎也太没有职业道德了
当然，只看风景的话，那一颗星还值得保留的。
Queen离开了华丽的服饰和水光针还不如女儿的disco服撩人。节奏不错
这种风暴片建议用大屏幕播放，比如投影仪之类的，如果影院放映当然最好！用大size更能体会人面对群山 身处风暴的感觉。 声音方面也尽量用稍好一点的音响或耳机，真是有种身临其境的感觉！
景色很好
人们总是愿意看富豪的喜剧，不愿看穷人的生活，毕竟后者贴身太近。
我喜欢。
剧情精彩程度达到了小学生作文的程度，语文老师是可以打满分的。
是一个概念式的电影。富二代的刻板印象只是转变为了温馨家庭的刻板印象，看在是喜剧的份上就原谅了。彩蛋好笑。
