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.
熟悉的脱离实际的美式校园风格加网飞专属滤镜，单调的剧情，但唯一的亮点就是女主的颜
汤老师胖了，躺下来肚子乱颤。个别场面给恐血小哥哥吓到了嘻嘻。原声，印度版插了几次赌场广告啧啧。
连剪辑都是稀碎的，好像廉价B级片那样给你黏糊糊又昏昏欲睡的观影体验，是想和小蜘蛛一起负负得正吗？
片头太邵氏了，配乐剪辑和色调，差点以为狄龙要出来了
女主太美了，本来只值一星的片子能给二星，这个电影最大的问题是，这2个人就是在演啊我的天，，，，
3.5 配樂前面挺有意思的 但結局不小心洩了氣 首作來講算不錯了 有錢製作真好
55/100 大型非裔西部黑帮史诗言情片。阵容这么强大，逻辑方面很不能让人信服，拍的这么平庸太可惜了。
感觉比以往的garbage好一点吧，大概1.5。这个感觉是在刻意模仿致所有男孩第一部那种dumb pact的故事，就是，在这个里面，我看不到女主对男主的箭头，所有的情节都在展示how much 男主A爱女主C，（但是感觉更像是impress her像是追她的那种），而女主从来从来没有表现过对男主的感情，以至于到最后我甚至都觉得，赶紧分了吧，你别在祸害他了的感觉，yeah女主是漂亮，hot brunette，尤其开头结尾穿裙子那打扮，真漂亮she could have anyone she wants，但是这情节，再漂亮都不行！！！还有就是，不合实际，明明是高中生，完全感觉不到，每次回忆必然是男主带女主在各种玩，包括不限于派对、游艇等，然后突然告诉你毕业了申请没申到（申到我觉得才见鬼呢，早分吧
唉，正好我也毕业，才发现高中毕业和本科毕业是一样的呀。从四海来，研究生又回四海去。分别那晚上也大醉了一场，还没过去几天那，已经开始怀念了。哈哈，这说明我是真的老了呀
哪怕就是为了看毒液 X Eddie 也快看不下去了
西部片也沦陷了
他说这些人都是历史根据上的
好像西部片的西部片，什么都没有深入进去全部都流于形式，就连配乐都似是而非！
牛仔片最大的看点就是花样杀坏蛋，套路就是造个小镇放一堆坏蛋来杀给观众看。这部枪战杀人很一般般，没感觉刺激或者是杀坏蛋杀得很爽的感觉，白浪费造的小镇了。
什么鸡巴？那时候黑人能有这样的地位？我不知道是这部片的历史考据错了还是R星的历史考据错了。
配樂不錯👌🏼 啊不然我都要在戲院睡著了。 每次開槍前廢話真超他媽多的。唯一慶幸我買的是套票，不然這種爛片我連在Netflix上都不會點開看。
塔莉娅妹子清冷的气质更适合北欧文艺片，在美式青春小甜片里显得格格不入，虽然还是很美。
真的好烂啊哈哈哈哈，时间在汤姆哈迪和毒液的拌嘴间度过，然后其他部分做的更差，显得也就拌嘴还能看。不论是小毒液的出现还是反派的原因还是反派女友都挺莫名其妙的。特效都显得很橡胶塑料？反正也不对劲。
本来给2星,一星是给Woody Harrelson的,他演非正常人类是最牛的,没有之一;包括演的Larry Flynt也出神入化,真探里斯神经质警探也很出彩~
看了后觉得，哎？怎么最近看的电影（包括trailer，比如那个啥last night in soho），cinematology（我对这词的理解是，纯从审美角度看电影）都挺不错的啊？（但大多故事/剧本都很一般）。很多镜头特别特别美，油画似的（但也显得不真实，比如牛仔们的衣服怎么那么新！）（ps俩酒吧的‘歌舞场景’都很不错！）（然后那个反派女人有时候摆pose太严重了很欠揍）。整体还是很享受的（喝了一品脱啤酒）！推个荐吧！（再ps哇擦英文还是不够好，很多口音很重的地方真是听不大明白） @algatecurzon w/Isabelle
