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.
简单，纯粹，直接，欢乐。迪士尼的儿童片总是如此，适合午后洗点水果，抓把瓜子，再拿上两包鸭舌鸭掌，窝在沙发里静静地去感受亲情、友情以及梦想带给我们的快乐。别问我为什么要有鸭舌鸭掌，因为我每次都是这么做的，我也不知道为什么。
灾难片而言确实不够震撼，情节也没有太过波动，要是纪录片来看应该说还行
情节过瘾，立意有引人深思的地方。但最后男主选择女主的原因交代得有点不够。
本片还挺应景，正好在这个节骨眼上，提到了整个欧洲的痛点，北海油田。（地图来自公众号：地球知识局）
还行吧，女主给力。可惜了工具人强行送，还不如皆大欢喜算了~善哉~
中午刚看新闻说欧盟已经在禁止俄罗斯油气进口一事上达成一致，至于能不能真正摆脱能源依赖，这个问题对于我这种平民百姓来说实在是太复杂了，但我能理解的是，如果北海油田真的如电影所述，那欧洲的民众肯定要面对一个难熬的冬天了。
作为灾难片，特效镜头确实很少，但剧情还行。开头和结尾的解说的话，表明了要爱护环境，保护地球的主题。我愿意抬一下，4星7.1分！
无语 真是看多了 才看了前10分钟就猜到凶手了
One of those movie night movies... I like Jenny Slate though, and Manny Magnus was great!
过于写实以至于乏味，没人物，没场面，没剧情，没艺术
讲述艾玛和彼得认为自己正处在生命中最重要的时刻，有婚姻、孩子和郊区的房子，直到他们各自的伴侣把他们甩了。30多岁的两人害怕失去了从此过上幸福生活的机会，并惊恐地得知他们的伴侣已经开始了新的生活，感觉没有前景、受到孤独终老的威胁，艾玛和彼得决定孤注一掷，制定计划结束各自伴侣的新关系，重新赢回他们。
简单得十分真实的灾难片，好像所有的事都是女主一个人在做。
这样的灾难电影过于写实
拯救了生命
像北欧寒风一样凛冽直白，没有无谓修饰的电影，可惜的是北欧版瑞恩高斯林没了😢

No.2418 虽然能猜到最后这俩人会在一起，但最后转折的有些不自然，在一起的理由不是那么充分。
加入了很多不必要的线条以充实剧情，相反拖慢了叙事节奏，选角也有问题。更关键的是价值观保守，这类题材，如果不在表达上有所突破，必然流于庸俗。
