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.
机器人反抗人类，又有要保护人类，这个也只有用巨型漏洞来自圆其说了。
主旋律电影中不可缺少的就是那似有似无的令人膈应的情感线，中国电影这样，外国电影更甚。印象深刻的就是作为三面间谍的西班牙大使，真的是吃得苦中苦方为人上人，但是英国拍的电影，是不是苦咱也不知道。
6.6 真是历史事件并不具备很大的喜剧成分，影片总体基调比较庄严平淡，非常英式的幽默和叙事风格。
有进取心的导演会大胆预测，更会保留自己最擅长的风格又扩大审美追求的半径，比如热内，热内的冷幽默一向会呼应人性：擅长骗炮的男人无法忍受没完没了的情感热身，“只是想跟你上个床，为什么要看你的情感笔记、要聊丝绸绘画跟秋海棠移植”，对房间里的香氛到底是“鲜割草坪”还是“掉在柏油路上的雨点”毫无兴趣；对爱情充满幻想的女人则“我喜欢真实存在的东西，比如西伯林亚铁路”。无论科技再如何发达，未来人类困境的本质并无不同：爱或不爱，真情或假意。跟人工智能相区别的仅只有人类情感，哪怕机器人莫妮卡语出惊人，“阳光下的粉尘令我想起宇宙中新生的星体”，我们都知道只是文体装置擅长模仿。葛瑞格留遗言“一定要记得修理我，我把我们的枕边话都备份了”，也只是程序设计，机器人对人类定罪的理由通常是“保存反映人文主义的颠覆性文书”。
平淡无奇，还不如纪录片有意思呢。看了好几天才草草看完。
节奏古怪的平庸之作，以及给西班牙方面加钱吧。😂
硬伤挺明显的，但是也挺有趣味。有意思多于有意义。
一群人被服务人类的人工智能困在家里，老头机械人出场后升华，直接1984。片尾这群人好不容易逃出屋子，以为是HE结局；没想到出来六个老头机械人，以为要团灭；然后又出来一群小飞碟，老头机械人团灭,原因却出乎意料
三星到四星，未来智能机器人主宰着生活，脑洞很不错。
所有都是假的，只有jean写的那封信是真的
拥有真实情感和瑕疵的才是人类呀，太完美了就跟机器人一样是数据是代码，科技不断发展人类智商反而下降变成了马戏团的动物，这个假想真可怕
你爱我，我爱他，他爱我。who cares？不弄点小三出轨戏，就不会拍电影讲故事了吗？
二战故事迷！英国小幽默到处都是，拍标准照那里快笑死了。
前半段比较无聊，后半段开始精彩！阅读过世界文学名著的机器人就是不一样，满嘴的真理～
科幻喜剧小品，热内继续着他的趣味和风格。观赏性不错，三星半。
依然典型的热内风格，恶趣味的狂想曲，这次是密室型话唠片。从模仿人类情感、掌握幽默到突破人与机器的界限，反客为主，逼人类出演《直立搞笑猿人》，可最终还是因为对人类的“全面模仿”导致自己的灭绝，十分具有讽刺性。不过未来倒真的可能是人工智能和极右翼人类一起竞争领导权。
把一个知道结局的故事拍的有悬念原来不难，难的是怎么去找战争片里的文戏的美。
布景和美术尚可，剧本惨不忍睹玩弄观众的智商。
怎么那么像短剧集合……但有机器人死掉的地方我还是哭了一下。人类不值得（。）真的，里面关于机器人奴役人类（做本来人类对动物做的事情）就很ok，反讽max的地方是广告。
密室逃脱。“因为我们都是充满缺点的原创产物。”
