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.
从片尾看来，能过上追求自我的生活＋不结婚不生孩子真的可以让人“青春永驻”。相比起染了头发、打了鼻环、周游了欧洲的杰米，玛丽克看起来憔悴又苍白。
好多笑点，很温馨。就是太清水了，最后染了头发简直帅惨了。
好多好吃的啊，日常的生活，人活着，先满足喜欢的胃，一起赏樱花，风动，情动，相守的日常
呜呜呜呜呜呜因为看完之后一直在等待一个中文名而不舍得草率写评，真的好适合违命青春版这个形容。眼镜娘真的好漂亮！本来担心宗教+90年代剧情会不会很无聊的，好唯美，指尖跳动心心相惜，可能这才是我想要的一篇喜欢，轻吻，快跑
不知道是不是少了个导演的关系 和剧和sp有点差距 节奏上没有那么舒服
影版花了两个小时讲了一件事：史郎也是很爱贤二的，用自己的方式。挺好看，很甜，看的时候会很饿，记得准备点吃的。
挺冲击的……但其实如果把信仰换成更加世俗化的观念，倒也能共通年轻人们分手的原因
史郎的性格简直可爱得不像话了，年过四十，还能真诚天然，身材一级棒，做饭技能点满，接吻闪避NO.1。中年男人的爱意不常挂在嘴边，但是会从眼睛里溢出来，西岛叔长了一双会说话的眼睛啊。
一个已婚育娃有夫之妇和一个处于交往阶段，一股子旧情复燃的苗头是哪个编剧写出的狗血情节。爱是情不自禁，爱是不顾一切。但是太过自私的爱真的害人害己，既然当初没有勇气，错过已成定局，人生不如意事十之八九，现在通过伤害别人来弥补遗憾真的可取吗？真的能成吗？无论是同夫泪还是出轨都是一件严肃且可悲的事情。
温柔的人之间总能产生很多很多很多的人间清新剂
没有被耻辱抓包说起来还挺friendly的hhh，电影院和浴缸戏无敌/青春版违命/果然我是有些清冷长相➕细边眼镜的癖好在身上
后面的重逢部分就有点俗气的味道了
啊，看到这个就想起来2020跨年的时候还在大阪的酒店看昨日的美食新春特别版。好想哭。他们还去京都玩了，我也好想再去京都。嘤嘤嘤…
and有喜欢的人 真好！
虽说宗教姬的be感很浓，心理建设了但结局还是大破防，尤其是M说我一个人的信仰就能支撑我们两个人了，dear lord，赐我接下来的姬片都甜到爆吧！

做饭的戏份有点儿少。再感慨一次，男主父母也太好了哎。
最近一直在思考关于真实和标签化的问题。这部剧让我看到了两个真实的人相处，而不是标签化的配对。相处的摩擦、小心思、快乐都一一展现。

不如sp，实在太拖了，明显为了拖而拖，还是一集一个小故事一道美食，40分钟左右轻快的节奏比较好
