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.
基准线励志片，勉强及格。
并非种族主义，强行安插的黑人女性各种破坏电影节奏一直嘚不嘚逼着人出戏，真是小天才想出来的剧情。政治正确，呸
运动励志片永远是这个框架 换成足球就是《一球成名》 但也挺好的 闲暇时候看一看
一个底层建筑工，进入NBA的励志故事，先别感动，首先，你要有天赋。
因为真的热爱这个运动，这个联盟，所以看到熟悉的球员们，教练们真的很亲切。
俗套至极，也就众多NBA球星客串值得一看。
虽然是俗套的运动励志类故事，但依然觉得好看，男主演功不可没。美国是个相信强者的地方，靠交情和求人是得不来机会的，还是要靠实力。
埃尔南戈麦斯虽然演技不太行，但是真帅啊，身材真的顶！
低谷的阶段非常短，但是更显的很燃。最后这个结局很赞，用生命在热爱这项运动，就是让它纵情燃烧。

亚当桑德勒演起邻家好人还是那么有说服力。现实中：怎么可能有这种圣父？亚当桑德勒穿着帽衫出现：ok是有的。
群星荟萃的电影看得我男朋友惊叫连连 好爱体育啊
接近成功
17 July 2022。四顆半星 我不愛看籃球 卻被電影後半段抓得呼吸不上來 大概是好怕這樣命運這樣坎坷的人會繼續淹沒在芸芸眾生裡 不得不說亞當斯大哥真的是演啥都有內味兒 從路人轉粉 。
一部不错的体育电影，很励志，但是感觉电影节奏把握得不好，就好像俩人马上高潮了却一下被打断，然后最后自己撸了一发，虽然也完事了，但是总没有爽的感觉。
为什么片名要剧透？人家辛辛苦苦放了一个亚当桑德勒愁云满面的图。感谢陈老师解说，NBA春晚蛮好看的
一个底层建筑工，进入NBA的励志故事，先别感动，首先，你要有天赋。
华子未来的一个巨星，肯来演反派也是难得。
这种片并非不好 主要问题就是所有转折都毫无悬念
接近成功
