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.
就 eeemmm 杀的莫名其妙 女主不死之身牛逼
两星+一星给一些别的意义。影片本身真是拍得一团乱,但是还是能理解到许多男人的莫名其妙……如果结束在respect那段可能节奏会更好,但这毕竟是传记片不是完全创作。结尾看到奥巴马有莫名的感动。一个时代过去了。
越来越走向“贺岁欢乐温情兄弟片”的感觉了,看着很轻松,而且难得很明媚的监狱片。人物自然是刻板的,转变也有些突然,但对于判了三十年和终身监禁的人而言,可能确实会有些顿悟吧。有些人物也太工具人了。刀疤死前的演技确实很到位。别老想着讲大阴谋论,完成或者破坏一个事情就好了,电影和生活都一样。
智叔遗作,游艇上一场戏足矣。如果陈家乐的角色有反转就好了。方中信最后的陈述很理想化。结尾太顺了。
JHUD真的会唱。J和Aretha音色差很多,但Aretha如果是这个音色,she'll sound exactly like this
太爱珍妮花,无脑五星。希望她将来能像瑞一样成为永远被铭记的女王。
没看过前两部 所以抛开情怀 这个片编剧在搞笑吗 毫无剧情 虎头蛇尾的感觉 可能舌头蛇尾吧😀
映射出香港电影的老情怀,不好看,但是有意思,第三部算是画上句号了,但是还真希望有第四部
以最后的教堂演出为高潮然后草草结束挺可惜的。挣脱男权这条线讲的非常细致,她终于能在舞台上做自己,但是在黑人运动这条线上感觉就有点潦草了
黄子桓“打完收工”年,前是结束了十年“反贪”系列,如今又迎来“越狱”三年大结局。这种无脑迎合大陆审查主流价值观的伪港片,本身在创作上就已经顺拐到不可能有任何出彩的空间。但好歹前两部还是主角们围绕越狱这一动作在推进,但这部最终章,直接就变成了彻底的反越狱,甚至影片里还加了一段公益向的监狱警示教育的内容。黄氏父子吃饭的嘴脸都不是跪着,是爬到地面上在舔了。没有张继聪,故事本身也是一盘散沙,主角和反派,正面冲突没有多少,身份比重错位的肉眼可见,情节东拼西凑,全然不顾逻辑,讲哪算哪。究其根本原因,就是人物本身就薄弱,到第三部编剧也没有心思再去费劲挖掘角色的可能性。于是干脆所有戏剧冲突都让新加入的反派来引导,导致故事喧宾夺主。反派俗套无新意,但还反衬出“逃狱兄弟”主角的更加拉胯。
为歌喉加一星,看预告的时候感觉可以冲奥,可能期待一下太高了……
“没什么是一杯苹果马提尼和一升AB型血不能解决的,是吧?”
虽然节奏并不快,但是相比较1、2单纯的逃狱,3变成了反派需要逃狱,这就让冲突更有层次感。淘汰掉了张继聪和柏天男,谭耀文和张建声之间的贡献了更高级的演技。关键是导演会用陈豪钓鱼,看过他太多次在电影里演混蛋了,一直以为他会搞事,结果所有的线都埋在黄德斌一个人身上。谁能想到1、2、3是一部比一部优秀的作品,确实必须给赞!不过随着刀疤死,滚筒也要出狱,这个系列大概也到尾声了。

不错,挺好看的,人物设定不错,但是有一些问题
虽然有李美琪和神盾局长,也是一个简单的杀手复仇的故事,不知道编剧为什么硬是整得玄乎的,真是化简单为懵逼,无法信服,感觉是国内编剧的手笔。
黄百鸣老板还是很喜欢做系列电影,然后将IP再开发,所以逃狱未必就此完结。轻轻松松,有港片特色,2.5支持一下。
连着看还是很爽的,可惜系列断更了。这部刀疤戏份不多,但场场重头戏,情节的铺排更像是提前为下一部 《刀疤传》作序。顺带一说,张建声真是一个好演员
❌ 怎么还是“奥八股”......真的不能换一种逻辑或者叙事方法来创作人物的传记了吗
过程中没有感觉无聊,尚佳。
