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.
虽然让万恶的中文吸睛片名给骗了，但其实还是挺有意思的片子。
语言不通的地方被追杀真是悬疑惊悚片。政治博弈中的普通人人只是不值得一提的牺牲品。是不是真爱支撑我不知道，我只知道在所有人都放弃你的时候，你还要争取一点作为人的价值。
13-094美国《厄运假期》
厄运从男主的疲劳驾驶引发的车祸开始，男主不停地在被追杀中惊恐逃窜，最后总算反追杀成功。男主一脸的惊恐疲惫与懊悔演得真不错，导演也很钟爱地给他许多许多的近景大特写，鼻涕口水汗水尘土啥的满脸都是，演得挺真。又见到了薇姬克里普斯，那位在《魅影缝匠》中跟老裁缝谈恋爱的高个子女演员，那种温暖的气质一直都在。
前面一半还行，虽然剧情老套也还能将就看，后面就扯淡了，这么多训练有素的特工打不过一个零基础的主角，子弹打穿了肚子屁事没有而且还能从五楼跳下来正好落在快速行进的车上而且自己还能没事还能收拾一个特工，这特么简直拍成了科幻片！
你我皆为战士
2021 - 73 噗，披着希腊风光片外衣的政治惊悚片。这坎妹的作用在哪？在哪？在哪？
但主角全程几乎没有真正吃过苦头。
平凡之中的伟大，不是精心策划的剧本，却依旧抓人。
前半段悬疑感十足，但故事本身并没有太强的逻辑性和说服性，最后的揭秘部分也不够透彻，对观众来说前面把好奇心高高吊起，但答案却有些无力，让人失去了“原来如此”的顿悟感。给了个好问题，却没有好答案
甜蜜恋人希腊旅行，车祸后女又死去，生存下来的男主意外卷入希腊政治派别争斗，被暗杀中逃亡最终干掉坏人们！编剧真是心大，男主一次跳悬崖，一次跳高楼，还都没死爬起来就开打，真乃神人也！丹泽尔华盛顿儿子主演，坎妹戏份太少也太腻歪了！逃亡途中还算曲折，其余剧情一般！
一个人莫名其妙地被卷入一场追杀中……公路悬疑片。类似的又典型的，比如希区柯克的《西北偏北》。ps：像自杀小队2一样，老美政府又被黑了，当然也可能是事实哈。3.5星。。。
还行，感觉像是80年代的电影，从摄影到动作场面。
非常让人惊喜，剧情的转折脑洞很大，让人意想不到，最后与前文的互文也挺有意思，是一部被低估的影片
It was a definite time wastin
熬过前面的10分钟，电影开始步入悬疑正轨，以希腊政治运动为背景，取景遍布希腊山区农村城市，异域风情与悬疑紧迫感吊足胃口，然而导演并没有讲好故事更缺乏吸引观众注意力的经验，最后拍得令人昏昏欲睡。
坎妹就出了20分钟打了个酱油，华盛顿儿子演技可以，但用力还是过猛啊，美国人黑美国人太小儿科了
一时怀疑这个人像胖一号的坎姐，打了个酱油。这个故事告诉我们开车不能打瞌睡，不要和外国警察乱说话，不要相信美国人
一个美国人来希腊旅游，意外卷入政治斗争的故事。
希腊版《红色角落》，新世纪的外乡人凝视换个国家继续吃香。选用大曝光方式的胶片摄影机拍摄企图靠近无谓的文艺片，并不能改变片子的本质。但拍摄和叙事都确实令人舒服。
