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.
美国影片讽刺本国政府的不少，生物战的更多，可惜都对实际没什么影响。生物实验室还是遍布全世界——感觉享受强大的美国人其实不再乎其它地方的人。
发生于某时某地荒漠中的故事，基本上属于独角戏。如果是个好演员来演，再加上一个老练一些的导演，影片还会是有可观性的。现在的演员太嫩了，又是一个人见人欺的样子，这样的荒野片就很难吸引人了。影片的结尾还不错，结束得干脆利落，不拖泥带水。
掩藏一件东西最好的方式就是不要藏，如果这个金疙瘩这么容易被发现的话，也不会留给你两个，两个人既然谁也不相信谁，完全可以标注方位后，一起去找工具。
人物少，故事简单，摄影和画风很吸人，看的沉浸。男主确实也就是笨，但是他始终是个底层人，只知道守着财富，不知荒漠和野兽的残暴，也不懂人性的险恶。
美国释放病毒，卖疫苗赚钱，本片极为写实，美国前期出钱研究病毒，整出疫苗卖钱，人家电影都告诉我们了，国家阴谋主义就是美国的特征
整部片感觉想表达的内容太多了，又想展现动作戏码又想探讨退伍军人的议题，结果哪头都没照顾好，整个一四不像。不过动作戏确实挺好的。
最近wb听人提过这部片跑来看的。就是主角吃了黄金诱饵在沙漠等死，男配心肠恶毒因果报应，完成这报应的是死了妹妹的弓手姐姐。
拉胯的剧情,硬凹的冲突,感觉在学谍影重重 1 的桥段,男主被搞的很惨后顽强反击,但...尴尬的是并没有,我认为如果窃取研发疫苗的材料,并不是杀掉雇佣头目就能了事的,一定还有大靠山在后面站台,然而这个剧情好像就happy的结束了.
退伍军人再就业，动作戏比较真实，虽然开头就隐隐约约有猜到啦，但枪战戏还是挺紧张刺激的，就是虎头蛇尾咯…

马马虎虎 一部拍人性的电影 但彼此之间的防备要怎么量化呢
确实前戏铺垫太长，高潮好像没有开始就结束了，影片节奏很慢，文戏很多，什么父子间的羁绊，家人的羁绊，兄弟的羁绊之类的套路，还有就是退役老兵复仇记其实好莱坞拍过很多次了，这次加入了关于病毒和疫苗的桥段，非常切合现在的真实背景，不免令人联想现今已经发生两年的疫情是人为造成，至于背后的凶手，估计将会又是世界未解之谜。
我觉得还不错，人物刻画到情节，也讽刺了美国政治！
废土风马马虎虎吧，有点无聊。这老有几个苍蝇围着脑壳飞这有点厉害。
灰灰色畫面⋯很棒👍
不止5.8的成绩，拉一拉。在很多好莱坞故事里，美国政府才是最坏的那个政府，影射这次病毒就是美国政府给放出来的，还要对研究出疫苗的科学家斩草除根。
结局会是如何？
拍的其实挺好 可惜该展开的地方太短 该省略的地方太长 不然感觉可以提名伤残老兵版杰森伯恩
节奏还可以，一个被陷害的marine被陷害然后反杀的老套故事，短小精悍
