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.
前面后期真的太真实了
就是很及格，两个演技派的完成任务痕迹很明显。不懂那些去影院看这种片子的人们的心态是什么。
屿过天芹的良心售后，但可惜我们早已下头，江宇不是北京人就离谱，全片还有比你更标准的京片子吗？
前半段的恋爱很甜，后半段的矛盾和台词就想抠脚了，多一🌟给cp
就…把家装成隧道 怕啥来啥 咋想的呢… 可惜了毛毛彤彤了真的是
在你以为是玛丽苏的时候给予巨大反转，当关系步入琐碎以后，该怎么求同存异？吵架细节真实得令人头皮发麻……是一部非常具有现实指导意义的爱情教育片。
映后的杨玏堪称气氛组担当，乔家“三丽”也非常可爱
這種電影純粹就是為了賺CP粉的錢吧，有啥看頭啊這是。
正常工作过的成年人真的会在对象创业不到一年的时间就闹成这样吗……有点作了
故事老套狗血却很现实，到底是男的渣，还是女的要求过多，刚认识时多甜蜜，分手的时候就多虐。狗狗病了为啥不打车，手机怎么就没电的那么是时候，一年不长也不短，是时候换个新对象了，你俩不适合。
吵架的戏份共情了，要是结尾没和好能再涨一两分
前面后期真的太真实了
主题曲《失物招领》唱到：
普普通通的爱情故事吧，甜是真的甜，虐也是真的虐，结局过于美好，有点脱离现实吧。
速度也太快了吧，我不是说第一天从完全不认识到回家上床的速度而是电影进展速度，这开片十五分钟不到就可以大结局了后面发生就都可以猜得到未免也太赶进度了点吧…女主是不是瑞士酒店管理专业毕业啊，说买房就买房…富婆求包养啊。不过毛晓彤妈妈倒还是不错的，小孩自己生活不干涉真难得。最后想说分了就是分了，再在一起这种结局在现实里是不存在的，美好的结局不能接受这不是现实。
几年后再纠缠个屁
为什么我花了两个小时看了一个扩容版抖音mcn小视频…
比刚才看的那一部要好一些。毛晓彤我也好喜欢，太乖巧太可爱了
像是朋友的恋爱史一样 很熟悉的一些桥段那种 但是也确实很平 好的前任就是像死了一样互不打扰 有的话在一起的时候好好说 不要寄希望于自我感动和消遣 不会再遇到了
迟来的深情比草都贱
