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.
A manhood movie. 人性的弱点
这个结尾。。。还不如拿着敲下来一块跑路，好过丢掉性命啊
可以入选今年最喜欢的电影之一，配乐、调度、光影、演员、剪辑都很强大。片尾曲那么轻柔就更棒了。
人为财死，鸟为食亡。茫茫大漠，从天而降的巨大金矿，你该怎么办？一个能精彩的点，但是没有完成一个精彩的故事。
另外，即使司机不等男主自己挂掉，也完全可以买武器回来一击必杀。最终分的多少，靠的不是付出，而是自己的筹码。
头重脚轻，准确地说肚子也轻，雇佣兵公司跟过家家差不多，乱打一通不知所谓
人为财死，鸟为食亡，说尽了人性的贪婪。我一直在想换成我看到金山我能走得动吗？不过也许我拿着那块凿下来的金砖掉头就走了呢
啊怎么瓣评分及格都没有？6.5应该有的吧。低配版碟影重重的感觉。男主whump 场景蛮诱人的（。虽然男主队长角色像个大傻子，退役军人被蒙骗被用完即弃的表达也挺老套，但总体上这种冷峻氛围打造得还是不错的。
掩藏一件东西最好的方式就是不要藏，如果这个金疙瘩这么容易被发现的话，也不会留给你两个，两个人既然谁也不相信谁，完全可以标注方位后，一起去找工具。
小成本、简单故事、观众自行补充内容，挺好的
看了十几分钟，看出了脏乎乎的男主就是扎克，但故事怎么也看不进去，等到两男发现有史以来最大的一块狗头金时，就弃剧了——非典型故事，没有任何讲述的必要。其他关于人性的表现，更是扯淡，这么大的金子，人性经不起考验，也无需诸多假设。
整部片子不知所云，大概要把导演和编剧的意图讲清楚需要的是一部电视剧，至于人物动机，尤其最后的枪战，男二是自己找死吗？
一声叹息，这又是个那种只有了解老美SOF community culture那套玩意，才能理解的小成本情怀片。本片据说剧本请了前绿贝参与，拍摄找了法国前特种兵办的军事电影道具公司做顾问，所以细节上十分硬核和讲究。例如主角设定是绿贝CRF队员，职务医疗军士，MOS 18D，在布拉格堡部分细节极其考究，使用真实的CRF番号和标志，美国陆军特种部队第3大队2营B连4小队ODA3224。甚至主角OCP军装配饰都无比讲究，左右肩臂章准确无误不说，胸前资格章有战斗潜水+MFF，凸显主角CRF身份。其他场面讲究之处就更多了，更别说那套独有的文化梗对照真实案例后，所隐喻老美现役和退役特种兵群体的危机和悲凉，不是人人都能功成身退，出书卖课卖枪刀棍棒野鸡保健品，赚得盆满锅满名利双收。
人为财死的宿命，整个蛮荒的澳洲内陆画面有股汉子般粗粝的质感
满足贪婪的欲望前要先保住命。
啥子都不行，完全一团糟，可能这就是普通人的人生吧
一个好的idea被拍成了狗屎，土澳政客的脑回路真的是莫名其妙，连电影人也是，小成本就小成本吧，小成本佳作也不是没有，这种存粹就是浪费时间
看起来是很荒诞的故事，要是我，肯定会在挖出大块黄金，然后看到有车辆经过时，上前求救。这样安全离开，又有足够的黄金让自己过上好日子。不过，现实中，当你怀揣一大块黄金时，也很难想象其他人会对你做什么。
微博推送，两个男人发现了大块黄金，一个守护，被野狗咬死；一个去租挖掘机，被他人杀死。
主角怎么回国的没解释清楚，不可能不限制护照啊。
