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.
会不会太好笑了[破涕为笑][破涕为笑]几分钟一个英伦梗，这哪是真实谍战片
唯一的败笔可能就是感情戏分 很喜欢佩内洛普老阿姨的声音
有点无聊 尽管存在一些有点精彩的细节 但原谈不上动人 感情戏格外多余 同为讲英国的间谍片 裁缝锅匠士兵比这部好了不是一点半点
全明星阵容，两位达西先生还是不及弗莱明和西班牙组会抢戏。
也就英国人能把一部谍战片拍得那么平淡如水，观看过程极为乏味，基本可以视为一部影视话痨片。所有人物跟走马灯一样，最重要的核心事件，就只拍前期铺垫，行动进展过程，感觉是草草带过。除非你是精神英国人或历史迷，真没多大必要去受这个罪。本片最清晰的部分其实是预告，你大致知道故事后，直接去搜真实事件相关历史的百科，这就够了。
小场景，大战争，全靠对话就能塑造整个电影，高。
和慕尼黑一个配方的网飞英国大咖组局主旋律历史宣讲片。一眼望到头的剧情转折，贯彻始终的爱国主义颂歌，连单纯展现谍战类型的乐趣都无力企及，如此优秀卡司偏生配上老套肤浅的剧本。半世纪前尚可打动观众的恶俗三角恋现在显得格外肤浅幼稚和不合时宜。在历史事件命题作文之上以「绞肉」线索穿起战时物资配给的火腿罐头与归西之后无知无觉「为国捐躯」奇异烈士的故事，弗莱明点睛式的引线存在和烟雾缭绕搬略微增色的旁白为整个故事沉闷基调稍加间谍暗战的竦然效果。编造故事迷惑敌手的同时，现实与虚构，奇情与欲望的界限也在模糊，若剧本着重此处深挖或可看到「行动」与「叙事」悬停疑云上空的有趣影像。但可惜这只是一部标准作答的范文格式，而女性面孔一如海水里浸泡发皱的假身份，是男性主人公权力斗争的具象客体，是幽灵还魂的浪漫对象，仅此而已。
两个小时的时间，一个小时策划计谋，一个小时胡乱延伸感情线。原来尸体冲上岸之后才是紧张刺激的重头戏，可惜只有寥寥几笔隔靴搔痒。
PS：我看任务之所以成功，好像也不是英国人整这么多细节，而是德国内斗助推假消息？这是可以说的吗？
大历史下小人物的故事，总是那么迷人，尤其是有Colin Firth在场的时候。
情节安排有些失调，西班牙部分甚至柏林部分再加一点可能更引人入胜。
he needs carefully hand……历史掌握在一个手活好的三面间谍手里……
有点太糙了，可能是故意为之也可能是成本问题吧
故事性很完整，剧情也很紧凑，情报部的行动两边夹击，尤其是在登岛前出现的小插曲，让人心又悬了起来。没有什么战争场面，看的是如何揣测和布局。以及该发生的终归会发生的剧情。
整个计划部署还是很有意思的，卡司也非常强大，但是故事讲着太温吞，这段三角恋也有点奇奇怪怪，Colin叔和Kelly的柏拉图恋情诠释得细腻可铺垫不够……两位Mr.Darcy同框戏份很好看，任何计划都会有意外，那位三重特工可真是付出了太多（色相）~
Colin, Matthew, Jason, 全是我喜欢的男人，英式风格很明显了，就是很拖沓，我经常看着看着只看脸去了
二战中的此类鬼花招层出不穷，盟军这边的记载总是充满戏剧性，然而真正的战争进程到底有多大程度受到这些小聪明的左右，实在难说。毕竟指导军事家们做出基本判断和部署的还得是装备和地图，而不是海里飘过来的几片纸。
谁受得了科林费斯那深情的眼神，老男人，可恶
很工整的电影，两个男主的合作很精彩，但是女主拍得如此没有魅力也挺无语，不拍感情戏其实不影响全剧。
关于凯莉麦克唐纳，看到半程才幡然醒悟，这是猜火车那个女孩啊！爷青回。
