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.
鉴于这片的确是比正传好，正传扣到3星
活死人军团前传之开锁匠的前世。德式喜剧总是有点硬。小马哥越长越猥琐，演得也有点用力过度。

有可取之处 但这种我和你三年不如别人和你三天的剧情 真的是 ( ´◔ ‸◔')哼
离谱他妈给离谱开门 离谱到家了 这句送给匆匆的结尾
鉴于这片的确是比正传好，正传扣到3星
剧情有其可取之处，开保险箱和尼伯龙根的指环拉上关系还是让人感兴趣的，可惜，也就只有这些了，毕竟娱乐片关键还是要节奏，而且还是在男女主角本身魅力还不足的情况下。
画面不错，这个年代了拍这种组团偷盗的还这么多问题，也真是勉强三星了。
其实还算不错吧，影片的画面稍有点昏暗，但剧情上还是挺轻松的，大部分时间都是两个妹子的日常。动作场面实际上不太多，就最后的打斗还是挺精彩的，设计上挺好看。还有就是，看上去有点牛逼的角色，死的是不是有点太草率了？
虽然画面构图上比不上正传《活死人军团》，但节奏趣味上更胜一筹，尤其开锁的过程拍得很刺激，男主破解最后一个锁后理解了这个天才，然后和格瓦纳超越时空的对望也很令人感动，而最后他没能等到女主出来找他，就在正传中做了和格瓦纳一样的举动，如他的噩梦中看见的丧尸面前，死在了诸神黄昏门前，也算是宿命了。
两个女角色的火花满满的，故事虽然简单也有自己的一套搞笑逻辑。金毛演员太强了，高潮的格斗戏亲自上阵，炫！75
还行吧，打三星。前面一直套路，唯独结尾没想到没套路。小感动了一下。懂你的人才会惺惺相惜，灵魂相见。看完忍不住又想把《活死人军团》最后开地下金库“诸神的黄昏〞保险箱那段再看一遍了。这德国小哥到美国发展，能导又能演，前途无量啊。
竟然还和army of the dead联动了起来
烂片的前传依然是烂片…开锁纯靠拧+手机公放音乐，开之前还一大堆废话+调情，仿佛在春游而不是在犯罪。各种人物描写浅薄又差劲（男主角已成为本年度我最厌恶电影角色），故事弱智又冗长（感情戏尴尬得不忍直视，冒着生命危险就是为了实现理想，然后顺便意思意思一下偷两小袋钱？？），情节靠编剧不经大脑随便瞎编，男女主这么乱来，按正常逻辑来说基本活不过电影开头五分钟，不过居然还有一群更智障的国际刑警来比烂…我只想给编剧寄刀片！
一星给巧夺天工的保险柜，一星给优雅迷人的欧洲风光。
真的很想只打两颗星，有违这个名字。。。。。
讲道理，除了剧情传统和人物登场的时候的怀旧亮相，关键的追车场景也太傻了吧，停车上车两秒，不比追车两分钟要快？
保险柜是好保险柜，但是这犹如智障一样的守卫和警察真的太拉胯了
从设定到情节发展，甚至是开锁前的那一大段独白，都是有迹可循的，非常普通的爽片。
