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.
F35好帅。画面纯净，浓浓的老牌资本主义气息。
情节过瘾，立意有引人深思的地方。但最后男主选择女主的原因交代得有点不够。
女主救她的男人才是第一位的…
蹄小花金牌電影推薦 歐洲的災難片 一般的電影 只是我喜歡北歐的調調
Marc Platt真的不是照着自己儿子在拍这部片子的吗……【Ben Platt应该在家痛哭为什么这个本子没早十五年交到自己家手上吧【
小朋友长得好看又酷
我感觉这故事我看过……上一个这类型的ex还是草莓过敏给女主涂枕头上了。没有任何亮点……看完觉得黄阿丽和刘玉玲的流媒体romcom好冤，竟然在一个range.
同样是海上钻井平台灾难片，比墨西哥湾那部好看不少，就是强行献祭同事小哥这一点超不爽的
前面铺垫太长，甚是务必要，后面舍身救人那个很感人，灾难场面的描写并不多，剧情略显平淡，小男孩在控制厅那一段太揪心了
海啸，地震，油井，这三部挪威灾难系列片的质量还真是出奇的一致，破坏场面加起来也就几分钟，其他的全是family bla bla bla...
Charlie Day，Jenny Slate， Gina Rodriguez 演技集体在线。
男女主都属于乍看普通，越看越好看的类型，除了男主的声音，故事套路但看下去还挺有意思的，最后氧气罩那里很故意但又巧妙。
与深海浩劫里作死的石油公司不同，北海里所有人和单位在灾难来临前都做了该做的事和正确的策略，灾难特效很不错且有威力感，但数量少，不够刺激过瘾，灾难场景对比深海浩劫差距很大。整体而言中规中矩。
平铺直叙，可能对于灾难片来说还不够“惊心动魄”，好在时长适中，矫情不多，观感尚可。
The slow burn, gets under your skin, that’s way more rare, that’s your airplane safety mask person.
面对人与大自然的关系被打破平衡的时候
导演对电影的把控还不成熟，白白浪费了这么好的题材，放在好莱坞那就英雄主义爆棚了，特效加持，爽歪歪！
想想在一片汪洋里发生了灾难将会是多么无助，女主成功救回了爱人
