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.
没有剧情，除了吵架就是啪啪啪…
戏说一战and列宁通德阴谋，总之很会编就是了
第三部人物成长曲线明显，床戏两个主角也很卖力。本身也养眼。期待第四部！
激情动作太假！
从剧情到运镜甚至于sex scene全方位小儿科，比五十度系列还不如。
请了这么多好演员来搞这么一出，无耻的自我意淫，还真是英国好绅士啊，我可去你妈了比的吧
导演还是有才的，只是剧情太怪了，怪到引人深思
不咋地…！
罪过，这么无聊又狗血的片子，我竟然看了3部。全靠hero的颜值硬撑😅
日不落帝国黑世界的日常操作，三观不正，只能当爆米花电影看，狗尾续貂。
我对第一部第二部感觉更好看更深刻一些，第三部感觉不行呀？除了啪啪啪的激情戏我都感觉不到剧情了，他们感觉就是一直互相折嘛，所以第四部又要让我等一年第五部还要等两年是么？好累。。我去追小说了。。
哈哈哈居然比我想象中的要好看！（去掉狗血的结尾的话）期待明年北美小时代4奇葩上映。
各种自嗨，各种意淫，把黑的讲成白的，把自己塑造成白莲花，这都不算什么，打斗毫无可观看性，各种bug和无法自圆其说的点
哎，瞎看看还是挺开心的
一战背景，脑洞挺大。跟前两部风格不太一样，不过也不错看。拉斯普金跳打人舞那段好看。
是谁看完2还不死心地等3，是谁看完3又在不死心地等4。噢，是我啊😅
妖僧怎么治好的腿？最后初创成员中年轻小胡子是谁？
[2021.12.31 @英皇葡京人激光IMAX] -，两段动作戏还行，文戏太拉。
难以置信这部居然是到目前为止俩人最像在拍电影的一次 男女主终于吵了一次正常人会吵的合理的架
“不要说‘也’，因为那好像表示我同意你”
