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.
我觉得不错的一部电影。害人自有报应，只是这个报应太惨烈了。男主说的是对的，是你三番二次地暗示了我，所以才有那一次的行为，且并不过分，仅那一次就让一个美好的家破妻亡女死！如果男主是多次性骚扰，说他是渣男，告他是可以的，那一次算吗？所以才有后来的天怒！这种报复说他是有计划的预谋？还是天道轮回？我的看法是天道。试想她兄弟父母之死，男主有能力毫无破绽的实现吗？审一审两个作案的凶手就知了，女主曾经说过辨别磨茹有无毒菌父亲是好手，结果就是这个磨茹要了父亲的命！难道是男主所为？强壮的救生员哥哥溺水而亡，隐密的被救人又是谁？没有下文，以男主的身体素质在这方面想要加害她兄弟不太可能的。然而女主在哥哥母亲遇害前都发现了男主曾经在现场见过，是巧合还是偶然？还是报应？我觉得就是天怒！结局，或许就是男人主的报复！
男主没意识到吗，悲剧的发生全是因为自己的性骚扰，显得自己一点错也没有。
本来可以拍的精彩绝伦，可惜编剧功力不够，全片看完竟然没有一句令人深刻的台词能回味，如果配角是以警察的身份切入而不是一个可有可无的记者身份，最后推理出每次杀人的细节，不是更有说服力！
什么啊是，全篇最好看只有女主指着太阳不要升起，然后主角三人在黎明时候奔跑那段。后面男主在风俗店做完哭着讲他多爱女主很扯淡，太隔应了，有病一样。
简单的警局突击战，除了政治正确的黑人妹子警察（史泰龙附体），整个警局中的其他货色都是必须被牺牲的工具人。一把左轮打天下，微冲+突击步枪统统扑街，这格局有点儿小了。
【一个吻引发的血案】露西亚娜曾为一位著名小说家工作，因为作家的一次冲动，强吻了露西亚，羞愧的女主告知了母亲，随后被告。却因为传票被身患忧郁症的妻子看到。从而酿成妻子女儿自杀身亡的噩耗。而拿到200万和解费的露西亚一家开心的前往海边独家，随即噩耗将诶二连杀的发生。她确信家人的悲惨死亡由此人一手策划，于是求助一名记者揭露事情的真相……
额剧情真的无厘头 但是为了Acapulco打个五星吧 SH home
因为15年前的私心，对乔·卡纳汉一直颇有好感，现在仔细想想这兄弟水准一直不高。Who the fuck is Toby Huss? Denis O'Hare look alike.
最近这种white privileged迷茫痛苦看多了，真是有点反胃
什么东西呀…！
呵呵呵…反转反转再反转，可能你们眼中的大师之作就长这个样子吧。
他还是占了上层阶级的便宜啊，普通人如果绝症，毫无生存计谋，那…每天温饱都能焦虑死，哪来心情躺平
：就凭作家那又瘦又老还重度罗圈腿的小身板，偷偷下毒蘑菇，挑拨罪犯杀医生还有一点儿可信度，可不靠帮凶大白天谋害健壮救生员已很难，再把女主徒手扔下楼？太低估癫狂状态的女人爆表战斗力了！
啊？就这样结束了？ 你可以不在案情的真伪和是否有真凶。那你倒是把两个关键人物受到的折磨体现出来啊！带着悬疑的外壳和叙事手法，最后却是也没把内核交代清楚。 很畸形的片子，耐飞估计是看成本不高，老子反正财大气粗，小成本赌一把。
情节的编排上强助推压缩加速 所以两轮急冲由事件突变进而带到了人物突变 此时动机和符号不用提炼直接跃然眼前 因果链条也就明晰了 Neil 和妹妹侄辈的疏远 对待意外死亡的冷静 绵延强烈的基础欲望 遗产汲血的幻视和机体末期的顽疾 最后一镜也就是浮木一生
这部电影的故事小，同时也更细腻饱满。命运就像多米诺骨牌一样，是一系列连锁反应的结果。注定这不是一个简单的个人故事，却有着深远的意义。简单低调，充满惊喜，层次丰富又不造作
很一般，看出韩剧的即视感，知道男主唉就是玩儿还是看着没多大感觉。tim roth都祛不掉角色的油腻
打不死的老家伙，喋喋不休的各种人，小偷小摸的好人和变态话痨杀手，所以是一部西部片，最后的燃烧镜头都是PS的，好假。
哈哈，我就猜到坐着唠了一晚的Bob要“陷落哥”附体！
