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.
太棒了，《五路追杀令》+《血溅十三号警署》，从头到尾的黑色幽默和极佳的戏剧张力，乔卡纳汉在犯罪片剧本的创作方面就是一个天才，这么多年下来一直保留着浓重的个人风格，他明明比大卫阿耶更聪明，更俏皮，并且更懂人物塑造，却被好莱坞所低估，实在是太可惜了！
情节的编排上强助推压缩加速 所以两轮急冲由事件突变进而带到了人物突变 此时动机和符号不用提炼直接跃然眼前 因果链条也就明晰了 Neil 和妹妹侄辈的疏远 对待意外死亡的冷静 绵延强烈的基础欲望 遗产汲血的幻视和机体末期的顽疾 最后一镜也就是浮木一生
创意类似于《血溅13号警署》，一群badass级别的人齐聚在一个小小的警察局，悬念营造得还不错，不过主角间的互动没有预想的有意思，结尾也是相当潦草。
网飞全球化菜市场里一片其貌不扬的烂菜叶而已。
天怒即正义，以牙还牙，以命偿命，所以都是作家杀的，不过里面的侦查漏洞挺多，所以，总的来说一般般。
前面的悬念铺得挺好的结果最后结局的真相一出来我：？？？ 幸好考试前一晚我是1.5倍速看的这部 没浪费太多时间 但也不至于一无是处 至少对墨西哥贫富差距和社会乱象展现得还是不错的 风土人情拍得挺好
莫名其妙的开始，莫名其妙的推进，莫名其妙的结尾
一看就是计划人为，不是巧合天怒。妥妥的邪恶在上。女主没啥错，有反转就好了。
蒂姆罗斯塑造的这个人物很好。本来觉得最后患癌真是多余，但又想世事本来就是这样，虚无就是虚无，患癌不患癌又怎么样。觉得患癌多余是不是也是我对所谓人生的编排太过傲慢，觉得有没有也就无所谓了。
没有什么前因后果，没有人物形象的深入描写，好似留白，但又有点让人琢磨不透
联想电影，2005血溅13号警署，2002法国片猎豹行动。
Tim演出了虚无的感觉，没有矫揉造作。癌症直接将立意拍到地上。
2.5 一开始以为是加缪异乡人式灵魂深处置身事外的存在主义设定，没想到解谜成癌症病人逃避一切，真是十级降到二级。不过米歇尔·弗兰克对场景的控制能力尚可。
没有什么前因后果，没有人物形象的深入描写，好似留白，但又有点让人琢磨不透
真的是个小成本制作电影，不过还是有硬伤，不知道为啥泰迪会屡次得到大家的信任，真的是命好吧……
2、记者居然从头到尾没有怀疑Louisiana，表达出心里矛盾，甚至没去求证Luis被送进精神病院的历史。
对平淡平常和心底的反叛的表现特别朴实到位真实无比
也不是在一些エモい的地方取景就可以拍一些エモい的故事
3.5 Tim Roth演这种情感完全失焦的角色就很有说服力。本来以为是个讲中年危机的片子，结果导演切断了所有与观众共情的纽带，重复场景极简台词非常克制的剪辑。片子本身也是大写的言尽于此无话可说
南美影片的特点是慢悠悠，但这个片子故事性很好，而且其中的台词隐喻与宗教圣经引用跟咱们古代的中庸处世哲学也相通， 所以观感极佳。 老话讲：杀人不过头点地，得饶人处且饶人。 作家确实有错，但原因不过是误会了，摸了一下肩膀想亲一下女主。就算是流氓行为恶心下流，但也可以商量沟通解决， 没必要告人家闹官司让人身败名裂妻女不得安生。 可以看出女主等人一开始也是看好作家并且想利用其名气与资源的，人都是自私的贪心的。但做事不要太过，否则害人终会害己。 所以女主的悲剧是巧合还是作家作案，还是两者都有，这个已经不重要了，老话讲：做人留一线，日后好相见。 古人的智慧值得借鉴。
