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.
男女主的化学反应真是没得说。好久没看过这种俗得我很喜欢的电影了。
其实已经是二刷了，第一遍看5分钟就打瞌睡了，第二遍强忍睡意终于看完了！spoiled by AMC Alist, 反正重看不花钱，基本都是想睡就睡，可能是第一次这么与睡魔顽强抵抗，值得纪念。
本姑娘觉得很好看，真的需要一些无脑爱情喜剧活下去……喜欢男暗恋，男的对待感情认真，还叫女主shortcake，哪里讨厌女主了哈哈哈哈也只有女主这种一点就爆炸的小可爱才会这样觉得。dream一下。。。
天呐天呐这难道不能称之为欧美玛丽苏天花板之一吗？！剧情内容人设情景都可以说是全程让人颧骨升天心跳加速了啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！身高差体型差真的好可！！！男主是我对闷骚处女座的理想定义了！！！！
明明是俊男美女可是我看不出很强的性张力，每次吻戏都给人一种“action...and cut”的假
本来想打三星或者是三星半，但实在是太假了，或是太做作了。欧~
很棒的美国职场爱情 美国职场战争也是明争暗斗 但是暗斗都是努力增加自己的实力 明争都是明面上斗 不喜欢的都放到明面上说 这样多好 比咱们这强多了 美国式爱情也很棒 喜欢就一触即发 能干的很快就都干了 干净利索 挺好看的 很轻松又很活跃
太烂了。。因为bgm扫一眼，浪费了人生的一个半小时
睡了醒，醒了睡，说不清是我太累了还是这片真的蛮无聊的，鱼眼镜头的监狱片段视觉上很有意思，每次赢牌就要喊USA的那群人好讽刺。
劇情略顯老套 不過還挺喜歡的
镜头过于缓慢，牌桌戏十分无聊，没有演技的演员根本演不来这种无聊的戏。大片大片的无趣独白，没有演技的演员也演不来。还好电影里有好演员。 配乐满到爆炸，配乐确实很好听，但也太慢了，每过一会就响起一段配乐，都不管搭不搭。
比想象的剧情要起伏多一点，虽然转折有点突兀，但是节奏画面人设都不错的chick flick还要啥自行车，在类型片里不错的，四颗星记录一下观看的舒心程度
非常喜欢这部电影的视觉效果，无论是监狱中的超广角，还是片尾两人的手指之间隔着的玻璃恰好成为了演员表、职员表介绍中间的分界线，都表现得非常巧妙。有点可惜的一点是这部电影叙事速度非常慢，还有点反高潮风格，让我不是特别能一直保持注意力的集中。
十年前的晋江水平吧，关键是真的难以get男女主的火花，这种片子剧情都是其次，主演一定要有feel啊！
职场浪漫爱情喜剧，两个人互相斗气的时候真的十分小学生，选角太好了
这个世界需要小妞电影啦，还蛮赏心悦目的，这个评分不用来评价剧作，记录一下舒心程度。
职场戏太少
慢，且藏著掖著在一個很故意克制低調的氛圍下加上不太合理的配樂非常干擾。施拉德對手的理解跟布列松對手的理解也區別太大了!!施拉德是好編劇，但導演能力真太讓人捏把汗了，音品也一言難盡⋯留下印象的是夢境魚眼的奇觀運動和伊薩克抽抽臉

You better put that doughnut hole away or l am gonna shove it up your semicolon.
