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.
沙雕的剧情，两个像是吃了躁郁药的幼稚鬼…尤其是男人。两人一天天没正事，不是互相埋冤就是互相猜忌，而解决这一切的就是打炮！感觉就像是互相色诱的手段…最后那个叔叔是我爸的剧情是什么鬼…醉了。
涉及了你能想到的一切校园议题而丝毫不矫情刻意
比想象中的要好？？没有硬伤的romcom小品动作大片 轻松度过 虽然好像只有我一个人笑出了声 类似于spy 但是没有spy好笑 也许应该请多一个comedian punch up the script
女主老板是男主亲生父亲？？还要在男主妈妈结婚前一晚do？？是我不配理解编剧的脑回路了
小众的印尼电影，虽然题材是好莱坞拍烂了的信息时代的隐私暴露，但电影中既有宗教的影子，也有贫富分化导致的社会阶层裂痕，本土化改造到位。多重重压下更期待主人公来一场叛逆的报复，但结尾还是受制于传统亚洲文化隐忍克制，卑微的受害者纷纷用打印机自拍，传达一种理性的愤怒，也多少表现出现实的无奈。
记忆里想不起还看过其他印尼电影，感谢网飞的全球搜罗，能通过镜头感受不同文化背景中的创意：前半段还是在压抑和愤懑中的现实主义，从灭蚊喷雾开始，到在复印小哥饱含泪水的注视下把复印机推上楼顶就开始意识流了……当黄色控诉纸页满天飞，一张张面孔再被复印，真给整糊涂了！不过：从街心雕塑的水准看，那个艺术家庭能随便出15张雅加达往返京都的国际机票，靠卖作品能当黑涩会真够邪门！顺便吐槽，6个学期上大学的计算机专业不到1800美元的学费也真划算。
俩人好像只有ml的时候是和好的，其他时候就是不停地吵架吵架吵架。。。
影片最后诠释了一句话，即使最黑暗的时刻，我还是会选择继续努力
忘说了…第一部在女主和高中生分手回到宿舍之后，竟然很磕女主和她舍友。
😓呃...只能说上一代的狗血，I knew it...太套路了，但希望第四部能细讲。
就是那种女生会喜欢 然后很渣（不是）的颜
排出 覆盖 掩埋。排出 覆盖 掩埋。排出 覆盖 掩埋。排出 覆盖 掩埋。
第三步应该3.5🌟……这部的共情更深，可能就是你给他的一个电话开始
好家伙是谁没忍住又点开了之后3😅这就是个一年一更的剧嘛。救命什么时候网飞青春剧才能让我不心动啊🥺好想抱抱赫汀宝贝
只能说还行吧，看题材是非常新颖的，看内容十分失望，就这么说吧，期望有多高失望有多大。
三部看下来我只想说能感受到互相爱对方的那种疯狂 这种只有soulmate才有吧
挺好笑的，而且基本全是性笑话，不知道院线版的字幕是如何处理的。钱老板出场用的是《赌神》发哥的BGM（误）。布拉德皮特一上来就被爆头了，通告费真好赚。
好像片头从美高梅和福克斯变成奈飞就是一眨眼的事情，但也要感谢奈飞让我们有机会看到更多非传统意义上电影大国的作品，虽然不一样文化拍出来的作品又好像变得越来越像了。节奏偏慢，拍得冗长，剧情也基本上在预料之中。复印机的意象不够强烈，深度还可以再挖掘。
吵一架打一炮打一炮吵一架……phone sex那一段看得我尴尬癌都出来了
虽然剧情有点浅，但是，剧情中流露出的被害人过错的扩大化、个人隐私权利的脆弱、正义由富人操纵等问题都值得深思。女主为了维护尊严，算是实现了真正的正义。
