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.
以为改编会扑街，surprisingly enjoyed it!
设定还行，可以在很多人身上穿来穿去，体验不同的人生，即使只有短短12小时，但是拍的又混乱又无聊，看完只觉得浪费时间
男主居然是我最喜欢的偶像剧最佳爱情的男二中医师，哈哈，也是没有想到。这剧本要是再放开点写就好了
什么年代了，还在玩魂穿老梗，还玩得这么烂俗，服了。女主也是全程无用，像个残废。
bug是有点多，但导演有点东西，取景设定和运镜都颇有亮点，前半段稍微加速后的打斗效果更显流畅打击感更强，后半段的持枪边打边射有点铁雨的意思
一种俗套励志青春片换上了LGBT外衣的感觉
没看完，太无趣了，大概讲的就是个人意识阶段性地跳针到别人意识的故事，我觉得还不如在自己的意识里跳跃的好，太多角色刚开始看的挺乱的，而且全片没有让人喘息的有趣点啊，节奏不太好，全都是紧张的枪战……男主和女主一点cp感都没有还要拼死相救，真的看的挺尴尬的
Well, I'm not a girl. Nobody's perfect.

在月球上看的，当时看完，差点嗨到忘了呼吸。
虽然有点乱，但是这么拍想法真是不错。忽略主角更好，没必要非要换那么多次脸
打斗吗？看起来还行，故事的剧情也算紧凑，只不过反派过于低智商，过于弱智，拉低整体水平，而且这个所谓的，附身，也特别的离奇，没法解释，也解释不清
设定很有意思，但也只有这一个点是好的。看出了导演对枪战的强烈癖好。
不看到最后，你都不会知道一开始到底发生了什么
设定新鲜，每12小时从一个身体内醒来。但一个技巧用太多次，有点乱。
3.0
创意可以，就是前半部没有交代感觉乱七八糟。后面大开杀戒，血腥暴力还挺过瘾
73/100。直观上，本片在歌曲与编舞上的吸引度，让《致埃文·汉森》马上变得毫无魅力；话题上，对于LGBT人群中不常出现在影视中的“T”的深度刻画，也比《致埃文·汉森》并不稀奇的青少年危机问题变得没了什么意思；但是在剧情上就跟《致埃文·汉森》半斤八两了，虽然都有一些不那么平庸的点（《致》的善意谎言的建立和戳破、本片中认清“道不同不相为谋”的事实），但整体还是有些没劲甚至不符合电影的定义，而本片更是利用了许多煽情的桥段来扭摆观众情绪，一下子让逼格降了不少。不过对于人物的刻画还是很丰满的，男主和Richard E. Grant自然不必说，但让我印象最深刻的却是Sarah Lancashire，她可能塑造了今年最伟大的母亲形象，而她角色的所作所为，更可以让某个还将“娘炮”视为错误的国家自惭形秽。 @2021-10-12 17:07:04
一个及格线的电影，就是一点点的剧情新意和基础的演员配置/摄影/节奏。现在要求就这么低了，但一年能看到的同等水平电影，还是少的想哭
多视角去把事件还原，感觉挺难的，但是这部做到了。
