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.
如果是纯伦理片感觉会好很多，纯粹是桑德拉布洛克的表演秀。
女主演技超神啊，把这么多复杂的情绪融入到表情、眼神、动作里
看一半猜到剧情。逻辑有点弱。结尾处理的挺好，Sandra bullock演技在线。
剧本和各个角色的演绎都大赞，难得又遇到可以泪奔的电影了
最先看布洛克的电影，是她主演的紧张刺激的《生死时速》。转眼27年过去了，她也老了。
牛啊桑婆牛啊！！这不得奖说不过去了吧！想念西雅图😢/不可饶恕的是做出了错误选择的自己
导演想要进行现实主义的表达，但故事逻辑有点问题，女主表演强大。
原本想找的是九几年那个，下完了才发现不是。挺好的，好演员真是自带戏感。本来以为单纯是讲有前科的人怎么融入社会，其实要复杂一些。人物挺多，不能算完全串起来了吧，但总体看下来还是很流畅的，没有什么突兀的地方。
情节比较简单，但编剧可以，通过回忆一层层揭示真相，加上女主表演出众，所以完成度还不错，还是比较感人。不过被劫持时女主自始至终没有明说绑错人了，这点没看到有合理解读，阴暗吗？但后来又用自己身体护送出门，反正没说清楚。7.3/10分
真的就是特别一般 感觉导演是一个沉醉在自我感动中的白左 喜欢用煽动性的镜头语言传播自己的圣母心… 但其实故事的另一个版本才更惊悚更可怕。
结尾反转成女主无辜，结合之前的两条时间线叙事，工整的好莱坞模式，但也未免落入俗套，削弱了主题-无法宽恕。这部电影触及了一些可以深挖的社会问题，但也仅仅是浅尝即止而已。
总觉得应该是个悲剧，做成小团圆不是那么回事儿。
选题其实还可以，故事架构有点像《三块广告牌》，问题也一样：故事线铺得太开，导致每条线讲得都不够完整
Sandra Bullock傻大姐蜕变为演技派啊
还有人说节奏慢，这节奏不慢，真不慢，很稳当，该讲的都讲了，不该讲的反正也差不多了，就是没铺开，铺开就更长了。电影讲成这样，可以了。
三个家庭的亲情，就是警长家哥哥转变的有点快啊
桑德拉·布洛克的演技，从一声“its u？”就可以穿透人心，面对世界始终冷厉，面对误解保持沉默，都融化在了这一声的无尽温柔中。凝练的故事，内敛的情绪，该说的没说的想说的都在这儿了。
律师行见养父母那场戏，
小儿子的转变有些突然，桑德拉表演真好，片子其实惊喜不多，除了真相外的反转几乎都在意料之内，但留白的部分非常好，最后那一拥抱特别自然，沉重且动人。
2021英国版《不可饶恕》，至少是第二次翻拍此故事了。此版跟前两版相比，情节设计更紧凑，也更合理；感情的浓度相对要饱满一些，不过在这点上还有精进的空间。尤其是布洛克的演技，简直是浑然天成——跟她以前扮演的角色反差太大，即使如此，相信喜欢她以前角色的人也会喜欢这一款的布洛克。
