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.
戏里戏外还是一样浮夸。同样“演自己”，还是之前的尚格云顿更诚恳一些。

戏谑 影迷 爆米花 这种电影演的再烂 口碑也不至于差了吧 哈哈
这么烂的片还分析或者点评个啥。烂片王有很多佳作毋庸置疑，但这部显然不是，稀烂！
没想要还挺好看哈哈哈哈哈希望凯奇叔越来越好
口水戏。虽然每多自黑，但还是太哆嗦。

是对自己的致敬，也是向外界的表达。还完债，尼古拉斯·凯奇又重回巅峰。
預告剪的比正片有意思多了，感覺預告的內容到正片裡也沒那麼好笑了，然後預告沒有的內容也很少有特別亮點的地方。亮點全部集中在一個是凱奇戲仿自己但又不是真的演真實的自己。一個就是兩個男主戲中戲的在結構這部電影。但是整體還是免不了最後第三幕變的俗套，還有整體的節奏實在一般，沒有一直把觀眾的情緒都帶著，略微失望
【C－】自嘲喜剧什么的最好看了。结尾还是感动到，完成了两个重要任务：狠狠宣告凯奇的回归，以及狠狠向全世界安利了《帕丁顿熊2》🤩
套着三流喜剧谍战片外壳的凯奇演艺跌宕史，凯奇的演技和以往的情怀撑起了整部片子。作为凯奇的回归作品，尚可看，期待凯奇后续的作品
三星半，红毒蛇的小粉丝表情萌萌哒，演的也蛮有层次。感觉致敬（自己致敬自己？）和梗还蛮多的，剧本故事就松松垮垮吧
笑死了，年轻的凯奇下巴像个锥子一样。恭喜凯奇终于还清债了。
看完思考了一下我心中cage大叔电影top3：Face-off, City of angels, Kick-ass.
“我就是哈维” 哈哈哈哈哈哈哈，竟然是曼达洛人。后面的剧情真的是离谱、中二。笑死。
有戏中戏的感觉，非常好笑有点心酸，需要对凯奇大叔的作品有起码的了解，熟悉到场景、台词更好。总体而言是一部爆米花片，但情怀很足，各类致敬和内涵也很用心，另外，我也是真的很喜欢鞋拔子脸的😁
从未过气！
“我只是想和你分享一些对我意义重大的东西”
脱线喜剧般的神经疯狂，温馨美好的家庭关系变奏曲，对特工电影的滑稽戏仿和超越，虚构剧本与现实生活的交错模糊，这些都不可思议地巧妙融合在了本片之中。正片的质感比预告片好太多，差点因为烂预告错过。
尼古拉斯·凯奇写给自己的一封情书。
