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.
讲了100多分钟的玄学故事，就是不把越战遗产主题给点明。我有时很疑惑，这些不算差的技术团队围着一个装腔作势、不知所云的本子转几个月，是为了洗钱吗？这是温克认真写出来的本子吗？还是将写在便签上的零散创意拼出来的本子？
挺一般的，剧情有点儿离谱，当然Maggie Q还是很酷的！
Maggie Q怎么还是这么美啊 不过很难再拍这种电影了吧
被卡司騙進來了，尾段直接看睡過去了，主角同樣是安娜，但絕沒有《安娜》好看！
OMG，查了一下基顿竟然70岁了，实在是太老了吧！拜托找年轻帅哥来和我们Maggie搭戏好吗！
两星半。垃圾场级别的剧情，白瞎Maggie Q了，文字描述的结盟，我愣是没看出来。
打着打着上床了？真以为自己是smith夫妇？
糟蹋了这个阵容。话说越南权贵就是这么一帮骑手厂妹？
动作戏还是实打实的，男主就不能找点年轻帅气的人配Q吗？剧情稍微老套了点，不过还算有可看性。
可真是稀烂啊，这么一比火药奶昔都要酷炫很多。两星的片子多一星给绿了吴彦祖的Maggie Q。
MQ这么又老又干瘦的，却能干倒体重两倍的壮汉，装p啊
一部不用管剧情，只看大美腿肉搏的戏，不难看。
真就挺平平常常的剧本，之前看预告还是挺期待，演员阵容也可，但就是太普通了，Maggie Q的戏路有点被困住了，老是这类身手矫健的女特工，姐，可以适当的换换戏路了，局长大人貌似客串，一头一尾，一开始“死”的很快，后来又突然出现再次赴死…迈克尔基顿其实这个角色是有记忆点的，但是打着打着就滚床单的安排…最后又莫名其妙…反派也没立住，也不知道全片他们都为啥，为我Q姐加一星
女主做一单收700w，白捡的300w竟然不要
虽然动作片，不应该太纠结剧情，但这剧情也太水了，甚至鬼扯，不排除是在愚弄观众！
要不是因为Maggie Q根本看不下去，不知所云的片子。看的都快睡着了。
7+，爽片，节奏好，尼基塔神勇依旧，安保也忒儿戏了，保镖都是星际玩家吧，监控室的小姐姐我可以。
杀完人在人家家里翻云覆雨，多少是有点大冰。（不是因为这段给一星，单纯是因为剧情好无趣
冲着尼基塔去看的，赤裸特工，已无法超越。40多岁还是这么打斗，不容易。多一星给辛苦。
Samuel L. Jackson适合假死、耍酷、说F word，但不适合说教。
