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.
怎么能这么难看啊？？惊悚片一点氛围也没有，全是两个人的暧昧情感堆砌，所谓的劫机事件以及后续影响，全靠嘴炮和碎片回顾，无趣庸常，又臭又长，2倍速播放还嫌它墨迹，流媒体时代，烂片泛滥成灾。★
穿插着无聊床戏和回忆旧情的假悬疑片，想剑走偏锋地去讲述谍战片，却连故事也没讲好。派克船长最近接不到好片了吗？最近一部《承包商》也是烂得如出一辙 @Prime Video
恕我直言，女主长相气质不太适合演这类角色。片中还一直那种“我很美”闪回剪辑，让我直起鸡皮疙瘩！
亮点是叙述方式、节奏和男女主角间的张力。看到派恩我起先是拒绝的，但他在这部片子里很好，女主也很好——"What we had was real. Wasn't it?""I thought so.""Why did you run?""I think I preferred this being an interrogation.""Well, you've convinced me.""Of what?""(whispers) That you're very convincing."…"Are you okay?""(grunts) Be right back."
只觉得景色和服装好好看，剧情到时没啥让人惊喜的。
除了女大男小的组合，这片确实也没什么让人意外的地方了。
故事逻辑没什么支撑，一部披着悬疑外衣的爱情片

CIA中年情侣，为爱智障引发的悲剧，一飞机的人做垫背最终救了她，她哭着回家抱娃……大段的对话，各种闪回拼凑整个悬案，表演尚可，整体平庸。
剧情有点勉强，在女主不发觉的情况下要挟男主，这只有理论上的成功率，完全没有必要。
特工为了救女友同事的生命，透露情报，没料到后果严重，机组乘客全部死亡。两人误会多年，最终审判还是来了。本来是惊险刺激加悲剧的，不停闪回的剪辑，慢悠悠的推进，把气氛搞乱了。坦迪苦瓜脸，已经老了。

坏就坏在标题取的非得一年里把一段关系搞黄了，那个节奏啊，感觉没好两下，导游：好，这场你俩该黄了。
想水滴筹给派派建一个私人barber shop。
这是什么魔鬼价值观，为了一己之私牺牲一飞机小孩和无辜的人
餐厅外景真好看 太美了！
2022018《以年为单位的恋爱》
最终，男主也没有舍得杀死女主。
为什么取这种名字害我浪费近俩小时？
讲述的宗旨是什么？情报组织最终一定会灭口？？为了真爱，宁愿牺牲一飞机的人？
