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.
鱼眼广角镜头中的虐囚噩梦，把PTSD的神迷意夺直直展现在眼前。赌局上逢赢必炫的“USA”似乎隐隐讥讽着反战。
This is how you fall in love🥹
剧情太老套了吧！男主身材好长相还好，还纯情，这种男的也就电影里有吧
哈哈哈欧美甜文。绿瞳孔、绿裙子、绿墙还挺巧妙的。
好简单，好喜欢。适合冬天在软绵绵的被窝里观看。
已经算是拍得不那么粗糙的一部了，校园游戏那部分就很🤧
我就喜欢爆米花小鸡电影，俊男美女势均力敌终成眷属！什么艺术美学、什么叙事设置、什么悬念、什么文化价值，不需要，就要好看！就要浪漫！就要最最最简单直接的crush！
男主身材不错（想看看正面，但是魅力有限，女主很可爱灵动，男二虽然nerdy但是很可爱
一个生活不说邋遢也是普通人的不修边幅，另一个完全就是强迫症，也要撮到一起…
职场爱情剧，当爆米花看，男主很帅，办公室家具很帅。
不知道翻译的问题还是剧情的问题 整部片子很乱 没什么深意 他俩为啥来电我压根就没搞懂 一头雾水
不想当布列松的施拉德不是好小津？但他真是毫无视听审美力啊
現在的美式甜心電影也都沒有什麼新意了，單純看顏、看道化，也膩了。雖然不用動腦子，但也是有點離譜。
好像没一幕亲历过，但是很多细节都能唤醒遥远的记忆。竟然现在美国还拍这么老派的片子，不知道IRR是怎么样的
保罗·施拉德不愧是布列松铁粉，最后一幕也太《扒手》了。
本来想打三星或者是三星半，但实在是太假了，或是太做作了。欧~
Please do make more good rom-coms ( I want, not that I say this is of high quality), I looove them!!!
男人总是会跟喜欢的女人“针锋相对”，可女人又何尝不是如此。势均力敌的火花，燃得激烈，燃得持久。
这个片真是尴尬与好笑并存，不过展现一下当代时尚生活，比如装修，还是值得肯定的
本来想学习一下欢喜冤家这类是怎么解决俩人关系破冰这个问题的，结果第一幕还没结束俩人就在电梯里亲上了，原来是靠性欲解决的。。。
