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.
看了一会发现看过原版，看得有点不耐烦，属实是一般
密闭空间的独角戏，挺喜欢的，Ricky说其实可以是有声书 lol。Jake的演技也过硬，不知道为啥豆瓣评分这么低。看了一下和丹麦版对比不同主要在结局，其实我还挺喜欢这个版伟光正的结局的，看完了不那么沮丧。剧中提到他们是没钱才停药的，太让人伤心了。
Jake Gyllenhaal演技在线，几乎独角戏，撑起了这个难看（很难看下去）的故事。反转不新鲜，但重要的两处都是对的，一个是让男主垮掉，一个则是让男主重新燃起希望从而正视自己的错误。另外两处反转的成立都建立于偏见挺有意思
你的画面，全靠我的想象~
我可太喜欢看老吉演戏了！！剧情不行全靠演技！！还有他的睫毛怎么那么长！！

看过原版就觉得好像也就那样了（变成全程看Jake肱二头肌）（不是）🙊
老吉的演技真的好好哦，表情情绪刻画的一流，比原版视觉体验会更丰富，内容上多了一层时代的背景，山火，以及个人情感纠葛。对原版的个人同意真相的情节也做了先后顺序的调整，使剧情以及人物情感铺垫更为合理了！
封闭空间，单一场景，一个主要演员，加上配角不超过五个人，这电影也太省钱了吧。但是男主个性背景交代不清导致整个人物情绪起伏莫名其妙。一会儿咳嗽，一会儿痛苦，一会儿暴躁，好奇怪。铺垫不够，不知道为什么男主对报警电话里的绑架案反应如此强烈，男主的罪行直到电影结束也没有完整交代，也不存在最后留有悬念反转的情节。
改编之作在剧情上没有太多惊喜了，这就看演员的演技能不能有所突破。吉伦哈尔选片一般比较刁钻，本片的情节与狙击电话亭的故事异曲同工，观众需要从男主与报案人，警察，搭档的语言交流中脑补各种画面，很考验演技，这种纯粹的独角戏基本看点就是演员自己演技的发挥，不得不说吉伦哈尔的表演的确很有张力和爆发力，把一个911接线员从接到绑架报案后开始努力想帮助对方脱身的急迫和热忱，到最后发现对方原来是精神病并杀害了自己亲生小孩的真相后瞬间崩溃都演得丝丝入扣，层次感非常好，虽然有时候用力过猛显得角色有点情绪行为失控，但终究还是瑕不掩瑜，一人一电话就把故事推向高潮，真心希望看到吉伦哈尔更多精彩的演技。
仿佛看了一部有声读物，台词功力还是不错，不过剧情上怎么说呢...结局圆满吧
落魄之人同情落魄之人，剧情似曾相识，主要是源代码的主演十分面熟
这部电影的感受我说不上来，根据丹麦版翻拍，观影过程中很紧张、刺激，杰克•吉伦哈尔出演了一位焦虑、暴躁的911接线员，剧情大部分与原版如出一辙。
基本是男主的独角戏，光靠语音和微表情lead剧情的走向确实很有挑战，近距离的卷翘眼睫毛和性感的薄嘴唇撑起了整部剧！但是动不动就狂躁症发作的表演却没能让观众入戏，无法也感受到导演想营造的高压紧张感可惜了。
杰克吉伦哈尔的独角戏，剧情简单，表演发挥的空间也比较有限。

in gyllenhaal we trust
比許多臉譜化的說警察不好的影片強上一萬片 短小精悍可以做到拔高立意值得鼓勵
true detective的编剧新作，Netflix请多多支持
这部电影作为杰克•吉伦哈尔个人表演值得一看，结局一切都定好了，奥利弗还活着，他也承认自己犯的错误，但这看完无法引人长时间深思。
