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.
超级巨星，本色出演。音乐超棒，每首都很好听，特别是那首《on my way》，好坚定 超感人！全程撒狗粮…缘分这东西，真是妙不可言，结局和彩蛋很好。
真是好久没看过如此俗烂的剧情了，甚至每一个俗点都是没有任何意外地猜中，但我们还是需要看这样的电影，就像偶尔吃吃垃圾食品也没什么不好的对吧？
欧文的假脸让我看不下去了…剧情还停留在十年前
这个时间段，有电影看，也不错，片子平平庸庸，歌倒是不错
手机全关机的考场 never tear us apart 一响起 鸡皮疙瘩瞬间起来 / 很喜欢最后那段ghost的解读 / 如果不是车祸真的太太太草率 分也不至于这么低 / - Because you're...beyond repair. - I get close to people and they disappear on me. - You just gonna push me away like you do everyone? - If I hadn't spent my whole life just pushing everyone away,I would have understood that. - 我们每个人都被鬼魂缠身 童年创伤 未完成的梦想 失恋……
大明星和热爱教学的数学老师一见钟情的老套romcom故事，但是jlo和Owen毫无火花，最关键的是也不太com，最好笑的地方还是最后十分钟jlo踩着高跟鞋跺脚式狂奔赶飞机hhh…以及第一次在电影院看高清舞台，音效非常好
其实故事挺感人，但是那个车祸弄的太刻意了，反而让整个故事显得有点假了
这种土味剧情就是让人上头，土味的精髓就是要狗血。
道理我都懂，但是本片类型为什么有“科幻”？
hustlers 一雪几十年来的口碑后……jlo又走回了老本行【虽然是ok的romcom 并且真的非常量身定做 但是能不能换男主啊啊啊啊啊啊
蛮有晋江小言混欧美狗血内味的哈哈，看着图个乐吧，歌都好好听哦~
虽然老土但JLO太美，can’t help
片名又叫做《平行爱情》。有点元电影的感觉。女主角是一名文青，爱好摄影和电影评论。多灾多难的设定借鉴了韩剧？青春偶像悲喜剧。还加入了励志成分。女主角心脏受伤，产生幻觉，幻觉中的死去男友其实是她另外一个分身。本人现实且悲观，幻象乐观又温情。
还算可以，虽然剧情有点老套，但里面的歌曲好听，而且还有点小搞笑和小浪漫，不乏味，能看。不过，欧文威尔逊怎么老成这样了。
剧情比较弱一些，但瑕不掩瑜。好多画面都拍得很好看，特别是几段歌舞。节奏也把握得不错。看起来没有负担。能愉快地看完。
虽然后面有点牵强玄学，但整体还是觉得很美好，推荐给想要去热爱生活的人。彩蛋给很足。
全片开头最好看，但也挺好玩。BTW真难以想象詹妮弗竟然已经52了，欧美明星这个年纪里算保养最好的了吧。
毫无任何惊喜与意外，都在预料范围内，欧文老了以后感觉都脱相了，再也没有看上海正午那时候那样帅了
怎么也得是个黑帮大佬007地下拳击手？数学老师还蔫蔫的真尬
