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.
简介有误吧。老牛仔去带孩子的原因是他还欠着农场主的人情，而农场主当初在墨国有以前妻名义投资的产业，现在农场主想以孩子要挟前妻才有了这个故事。
看完之后莫名特别悲伤，这可能是老爷子的倒数第二部电影了
整体平淡无奇，老爷子90多岁还亲身上阵出演实在不易！
多一星给91岁的老爷子，一开始任务出来还满是期待的，坚持到老人训野马戏时候就显强弩之末了。一方面不太相信他如今的身体状况能完成片中的危险动作，同时又觉得这样的非商业片，找动作替身的概率也不大，以至于男孩奇迹般的就成了驯马天才，期待的老牛仔一展雄风的戏也只能省了。男孩表演太让人出戏了，公鸡很亮眼，但格格不入。好多点都具备足够张力造成“极端后果”的，却都轻易的略过，有点可惜。耐心看完老人的流水账，能感觉到一丝丝温情，但还是觉得很失落，很失望。6.7/0.15万 【IMDb5.8/1万 北美票房914.43万美元，全球票房985.73万美元】
老牛仔的浪漫故事，姑且原谅导演又把自己写成万人迷好了
单论电影，节奏非常平淡和缓，寓意也那么直白，在我看来，是一路的反高潮。但因为是克林特的作品，全程感受到的是和蔼的温柔。不是缅怀，不想说教，而是，就任车这么开，走到哪停哪，遇到谁就聊一聊，到达目的地之前，任旅程平缓还是颠簸，任生活刺激还是散漫。
老爷子的新电影看一部少一部，镜头下的墨西哥空旷且风光无限，人物简单故事一般，就是喜欢他的节奏和只属于他电影的美感。
把政治隐喻和东木情怀揉进一个公路片，编剧实在太狡猾了
暮年英雄，壮心不已。九十岁高龄的东木老爷子还自导自演西部片，这本身就是一件很酷的事情，他永远都是那个最帅的牛仔。片子属于比较温情的，有点<老爷车>的意思，都是老爷子让男孩子得到成长，教会他们一些道理。边境的风景真的好美，感觉每一帧都可以用来做壁纸。
电影本身很淡很简单。能够看到老爷子还在拍电影就好温暖，
雄鸡是硬汉，东木老爷子也是，从《黄金三镖客》到《廊桥遗梦》，从《不可饶恕》到《老爷车》，再到这一部，老爷子霸气，好电影便是如此，讲好一个故事，演好一个角色，老爷子做到了。
你为什么会懂手语？只是漫漫人生路的一种收获。
90岁的老牛仔 依旧温情硬朗 墨西哥风情公路片
西部慢调，抚慰人心。希望老爷子一直拍到120岁
真的挺佩服老牛仔的，91岁高龄还在自导自演，故事还算有趣，不会很闷
Don't teach me manners when you're in bed with my mom,where she sleep.
成也東木，敗也東木。但是这是东木，没有什么电影是败，只是看东木想要玩什么
剧本很烂，老爷子老态龙钟谈不上啥演技，就当风景片看看吧，没什么意思。
平淡无奇 小男主既无成长也无用处（鸡都比他有用）跟骡子和老爷车比不了 没了东木大爷的情怀分就是流水账的烂片（话说开篇加这种妹子过边境混时长的片段就大感不妙 到后面也充斥着和剧情人物塑造都无关的混子片段）
91岁的东木，依然是西部牛仔，致敬！ 电影本身很平淡，温情片，but，这不重要…
