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.

弱智剧情的哥特小女孩寻找自我的家庭温情公路喜剧片。
虽然还是基本上一年一部劳模东木老爷，但是确实是这些年最差的一部东木。基本上是【骡子】【老爷车】【百万美元宝贝】那一类的年长者对年轻人从严厉不理解到关心的路子，更是完全复刻了【完美的世界】的整个故事架构。可惜整体还是缺乏细节和套路化。不管是中途那场偶遇的天伦之乐，还是结尾那只斗鸡的绝境逢春，都太巧合太理想化太扁平了。东木也似乎只是一个有故事的老者，他慢慢融化，仅此而已。甚至在故事的最后他也没有阻止那场糟糕的父子相见，他不愿去表达了。当然，东木最大的优势还是影迷们内心对他深深的情感连接，看到东木老爷的样子从60年代迈入20年代，他的每个角色都附带了太多这个作品之外的灵魂，只要他站在西部，带着牛仔帽，永远能察觉到他身上那份变成了历史的荣耀和当下的孤寂。

星期三是超级聪明，冷酷的天才少女。普格斯利是搞笑笨蛋加爆破狂人。
颜色太多了，一点都不亚当斯，比第一部差很多，比真人版差更多
女主就没想过用妈妈的头发吗？毕竟也有戴绿帽的可能啊
小男孩的演员演技极烂，那只公鸡也始终融不进剧本，《完美的世界》的一次失败复刻。东木都已经91岁了，还在幻想着美人环侧情场得意，这才是真正的万年直男
东木真的是老了，没有了过往作品的冲突与矛盾，剩下的尽是岁月带来的平缓和温柔，但从头至尾看完也是给人一种舒适的感觉。如果可以，还是希望他可以一直拍下去。
剧情平平淡淡，但重点不在这，老爷子没明说，但能感觉到是在跟影迷们告别了
前作还稍微能看，这一部有点难以下咽了，这一毛一样还能想出抱错的梗？而且笑点也没前作有趣
不如真人版好看，真人版里每个人都是哥特又奇怪的，一家人虽然奇怪但很和谐，动画版第一部和第二部都是以星期三为主角，并着重描写了她与家庭的格格不入，她适应不了这个家庭，总感觉ooc了
我已经和你拥抱过一次了父亲，这辈子的喜爱之情都已经表达完了。
动画画质不错，人物环境都有很逼真的质感、光泽。剧情无厘头搞笑，还行。在还没有弄清医院里是否抱错了时为什么亚当斯夫妇不关心自己真正的女儿去哪儿了。
【C+】于是东木再一次把《完美的世界》以更加保守、温情且刻板的方式重演了一遍。旅途中的追捕和困境从未真正存在，角色无论正派反派皆是作为特定的类型元素登场，也仅仅只是元素而已，甚至连功能性都快支离破碎。故事上的单调与刻意确实影响观感，但想到东木的年龄，也不好过多批判，更甚童话走向的圆满故事只能是必然。真正重要的只有那位老去的牛仔，那辆驰骋公路的旧车，那场由替身拍摄的驯马戏，那些因衰老而迟滞的镜头，以及被光影印刻的银幕形象。
20210926le。老导演已经看淡一切了，平平淡淡才是真。
我们不得不学会慢慢接受他的“倚老卖老”
高情商:一部顶n部，省钱了
其实感觉比第一部好些，不过第一部啥样早忘了。
剧本太儿童教育片了，只有东木泡妞值得看，大镖客最年轻最帅的时候永远是独行侠无名客，现在终于有了黄昏恋……anyway 片头字体一出现就是老西部片了，应该彻底复古来个name-above-the-title，开屏就把Clint Eastwood映到观众脸上，然后才是片名；墙上的rowdy剧照真是年轻美好，就算东木老了也帅，还是让人觉得时间残忍；东木走进服装店，旁边的路人都穿poncho，为什么不给他一件经典poncho；忽然理解他美观众对Dirty Harry的执念，现在我也想看Harry的退休生活
