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.
我觉拍的挺好，我关注都是情绪，都是浅尝辄止，但又十分到位那种，画面也贼美
影片根据同名小说改编，剧本不错，女主的几次出走，都是自我挣扎、成长、和解，最后HE，是爱情的模样。
风光不错，大量的夕阳逆光，无限美好，剧情一般，不过结局还是小小的感动了下，女主的侧脸爱死了
比去年的好看！！笑死我了！巨讽刺！！怎么没有Asian Hate的事情！！差评！！！结尾的地方挺unexpected … what did you learn from 2021? We learn nothing from 2020….
从信仰的角度看，太感动了
看吧，皮相真的很重要，要不然都没有故事的开头。
目瞪口呆 我是土狗我爱看 这很种田文 xs
一颗破碎的心，唯有无条件的爱和接纳才能修复；在遇到何西阿之前，因为童年的经历以及不断的被伤害导致安琪儿已经对生活绝望和麻木，对人也无法信任；刚开始何西阿的出现并没有让她觉得有盼望，何西阿一次又一次来，安琪儿的生命中才出现了一点亮光，重新恢复了一丝盼望，想要尝试改变一下活法；
从世人的眼光去看待，我们会难以理解为何有人愿意去这样的付出，这样的一次一次为了一个他人眼中不值得的人，不断地追回。但是，神正是这样爱着我们，即使我们觉得自己是不配的。
但是老家塔利班拿了射击金牌
3.5叭，没了解过小说，单纯被预告片吸引去买了票～看的时候掉了一些猪猪泪…这个时代背景的这个结局，不拿god来维系也没有更合理的解释了
我不知道谁会是我的救赎.在被别人救赎前希望自己可以成为自己的那道光
Sometimes, you have to leave behind what you were born into, to become who God meant you to be.
还好吧，3.5的样子，去看Eric Dane来着，又没演好人
奈飞年会、好莱坞团建、SNL尾牙、美帝年货。跨年三部曲：2020去死，2021去死，别抬头地球完球
太左了，连拜登都舍不得批评，连破坏盟友关系的对澳核潜艇交易都不批评，为此不惜小小地拿盟友法国开了下涮，1分。幽默感很差劲，2分，不过坚持看下去也能偶尔笑出来。两个正面受访人都是女性，最正面的那个是亚裔，算有心了，3分。综合观感也确实有3分。
我觉得男主再这样发展下去就是典型的“代理型孟乔森综合症”
你有她那样的运气能遇见一位圣母，去营救你苦海抽身、早悟兰因🐴
我想象不到一个人怎么会如此爱另一个人，堪称神话故事了。
好吧，我承认现实中肯定没有这样的爱情。但是我还是好感动呀。都看哭了。这是一种救赎的爱吧。一种补偿。我很不理解的是，为什么后面他们有孩子了？
