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.
刺激在蹂躏传统三观的故事。阿凡达里的郎上校真是越老越糟越俊美，全程古希腊雕塑呈现。
开头小女孩在家中躲避搜捕的镜头转换又有第一部“屏住呼吸”的回魂，可惜后半段有点泄劲。每个反派的死法都颇有设计，没有为了血腥而暴力，小成本拍成这样已经很业界良心了。
相当硬核，部分场面过于血腥。杀人，狗，躲藏，紧张刺激。一个盲人干黑团伙，相当武侠。
这与第一部差太多，完全不是一种东西。细节没有丝毫的缜密可言。但是影片做了一次人性的颠覆，小女主的价值取向瞬间改变。她杀了父母！
前面3/4各种人物调度把逃脱的极限窒息都表现得很好，加上最后的成长升华。不过到后面就有些疲倦了，
这种概念性的影片拍第二部很难再做拓展了，虽然极力的保持了第一部的元素，但是已经没有惊喜感了，氛围渲染上也没有第一部那种寂静带来压迫感。后半段直接连姆尼森（飓风营救）加基努里维斯（疾速追杀的狗）上身夜魔侠。惊悚恐怖全无改成了动作片，然后所有人都不如一只狗识好歹！
老套，唯一的好看的就是开头宝马飙车，声浪真是好听，加个星。
嘴巴被胶水封住，第一反应不是用刀把胶水戳开，而是在脸上捅个洞呼吸？？？5秒之后，又用刀划开了嘴上的胶水？？？我都看呆了。这是在侮辱谁的智商，光看到这里我都看不下去了…
剧情上可以看出有用心去设计一些内容，但整体还是有点不够，看完之后不痛不痒。
我认为第一部的亮点就在于老兵的那句：“There is no God.” 第二部的设定和故事整个就和这个设定脱离的太多，剧情从老兵说出：“God is fair”开始，就朝着狗尾续貂开始一路狂奔……
第一部编剧接下了导演的活，瞎子老人洗白变主角，可惜故事并不是紧接第一部而是另起炉灶，第二部更像是前作或者番外篇，精彩镜头都放在预告骗里了，套路还是第一部的，所以基本没啥意思，不推荐
女孩还是被救的公主如果像深度入侵那种设定为超人类再天才点就更好了继承老头的衣钵（毕竟继承了各种犯罪基因和技能），别总被门撞晕溺水晕被扇晕喝饮料晕.....这么看体格是很超人。性格也是混沌邪恶的感觉她只想和黑人女孩一起玩根本不在乎周围人，都不帮老头叫个救护车直接收拾干净前往梦寐以求的shelter（老娘早给自己找好后路了！
食之无味，弃之...好像也不是很可惜？？？
继承并发扬了一代的动作悬念设计，同时因为把叙事注意力集中在悬念表现力上，不再牵扯过多政治性符号，单这一点就比一代强。主要人物矛盾叙事很完整，人物感情铺垫也到位，对于一部John Wick式的热血片，叙事上其实真没多高要求，只要故事流畅人物性格突出就可以，精力放在呈现风格独特的悬念式动作设计上。几位配角刻画到位，腮帮子凿洞的钉锤小子过目不忘
第二段的长镜头很不错,影片的前期节奏很棒,但后面就有点拉胯,整体上没有第一部惊艳.
3.5 惊悚爽片，过瘾的虐杀戏，非常沦丧的道德——母亲要取女儿的心脏为自己续命，女儿剁了母亲的手还亲手杀了父亲，这种剧情真敢想，也真不错。
单单延用第一部的人物和设定可剧情却变成了大叔与萝莉的父女情怀，等于把第一部的精华全部抛弃并套用一个被玩烂了的设定，在失去第一部的新鲜感后可想而知第二部就只能变成一部刚刚合格的犯罪惊悚片了
Now you're gonna see what I see!
动作戏不如印象中的第一部，剧情不够那么犀利，真的更加喜欢第一部以暴制暴，以“恶”惩恶的角度，这一部反而温和许多，而且那些人也太该死了吧！
新鲜感的确不如第一部，但是在同类电影中一样有滋有味
