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.
怎么感觉和现在的乌克兰局势挺像。还是有人很清醒的认识到战争的危害，可惜无力阻挡历史的车轮
（Jeremy Irons演技占一星）
编剧导演是张伯伦的粉丝可以确定；不过是不是如片尾所宣称的战争的一年延迟确保了最终的胜利，则大有疑问。客观的看，张伯伦的绥靖也有他的道理，方今欧美不也绥靖着呢吗？绥靖在将来也不会绝迹。人性如是、制度如是。
3.5，主角个人的部分还是很喜欢的，尤爱对青春时光的回溯。但对历史事件的叙述着力太轻，使得本该有的紧迫氛围趋于虚浮。
emmm不如拍个牛津三人行。（希望就是等着别人去行动，我们不饱希望反而更好。
不要再塑造一个又一个千篇一律的妻子角色了，真的。
在我眼里这不是政治片，是唯美的同志片呐！！夏天，男同的爱情永远在夏天
树欲静而风不止，山雨欲来风满楼！或许真如影片所表达的，张伯伦用自己的出丑替后来的丘吉尔争取到了几分胜算也一定。片中德国外交官的立场转变显得有些突兀，另外，“元首”的演员外形实在让人非常出戏。
世界啊，还是那个人类占据着的世界，一点都没有变!
难得好片，我们只是无法选择生活的年代，英德新生代两帅比演得真好。
去掉两位虚构的主角，这可以算得上是一部张伯伦传了，有人说有洗白嫌疑，但恰好也给了历史课本里没有的角度，即便在那样的一个年代，许多人都在为和平不懈努力，不管是虚假的亦或是短暂的，再看当下一群人还喊着乌拉
绥靖政策是一个很肮脏的词汇，张伯伦一直到现在都身败名裂，“罪人”是时代的评价；不明白这部电影的主旨是什么，无论如何都不能战争还是，提出这个问题：如果王莽在登基前死掉，我们会如何评价？
7.5/10.
作者的价值观有点奇怪，难道牺牲另外一个弱小国家（捷克斯洛伐克）的利益换得战争准备时间并最终获得胜利，是值得肯定的？！还需要通过一位“德奸”和一位极不专业的英国间谍的一番毫无实质意义的瞎操作之下才能产生对坚持绥靖政策的首相大人产生一定的影响？
“这太重要了……”
非常的剧本拍的这么的平庸，真的是朴实无华。
期待很大，失望就更大....其实对荞麦的期待还是很大的....看了一下导演原来是个德国人，难怪....德国人的电影向来相当的生硬.....男二简直就是一个德国马景涛....剑桥生被拍成这种气质也是服了....看在老戏骨的份上加了一星....
年轻人们的表演很好。张伯伦的选择宿命，也有年轻人在时代里的选择宿命。“我只能拿自己手里的牌去玩。”“我们不能选择生活的时代，我们唯一的选择就是如何回应。”可当《至暗时刻》的前篇看。
我们无法选择自己生活的时代，我们唯一的选择就是回应。我们必须起身抗战。
影片结束的字幕把电影的格局拉低了。读过电影梗概以后我还在问自己为啥要看这么一部片子，其实细想，人类应该每年都得出几部二战题材的电影，直到下次世界大战之后才会停下吧
