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.
好温暖的圣诞调电影～反正我很喜欢hhhhh
How could Michael Urie not age for all these years?!
Cheesy and cliché in a good way, quite an enjoyable and heartwarming flick. +1 for Netflix’s first gay holiday rom-com!
Cliché as hell but so sweet and gay!
我的共鸣点现实生活中也有很多人以朋友的名义爱着另外一个人，无论是同性还是异性
这并不是“主流形态”各个细节也没有起到任何消解刻板印象的作用 都要2022了网飞还拍出个这尼玛离谱
太难看了。网飞是不是以为拍什么用户都照单全收？应季的电影一年比一年难看……全员挤在一起念台词，完全没有剧情可言，没有一个喜剧的演员存在，强行搞笑实在难看。
男·同志的圣诞电影 整个家庭对gay的理解和支持 营造的温馨感满满的 一直在一起生活的gay 也会有相处久了才发现最适合的人就在身边的感觉
蛮蠢的typical Christmas romcom，而且无法get到男主的选择，男配帅又温柔有气质，秒杀两个男主。当然影片结束后所有人都很幸福，只有单身又没有男友的我很受伤。
俗套的美国喜剧爱情电影，为了政治正确，不但是钙，还要黑白配，所以男主必须放弃性感渣男与暗恋男友好啦！
关于在圣诞前夕独自在住处投屏观看这部电影 我感到很幸福🥰
我真的没有看到一丁点chemistry，感觉就是一对好朋友被家人gaslight到互相示爱的故事
圣诞电影不能要求这么低啊。
流水线型圣诞快餐，整体倒也不算违和。全员工具人估计是全国海选出来的，一个个异常努力……
本来是冲着尤瑞小哥哥去看的（虽然他现在的年纪也不能叫是小哥哥了），但是吧……
剧情挺老套的，都能猜出来了，可怜的工具人用来催化两人感情，看热闹不嫌事大的家人们在背后助攻，两人误会后分开又醒悟，另外基佬们说话挺有腔调的，不算娘娘也不算普通，就是很柔声柔气比女生还要别致一番风味，一听就感觉十有八九了，我都不知道自己在说什么了，与电影内容无关的影评哈哈
很轻松很甜很温暖的剧情（虽然剧情很老套）适合在圣诞节看
我比较认同前期妈妈的看法....为什么全家人要强行组合这对CP....好像在拼命给你洗脑“你俩多般配啊。”最后自己都信了“我俩好像真的挺般配”.....
这并不是“主流形态”各个细节也没有起到任何消解刻板印象的作用 都要2022了网飞还拍出个这尼玛离谱
【6.0】基本就是把小妞电影的剧本换成男男主演，还是挺有节日氛围的，可以一看。
