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.
很特别的视角。以前确实对慕尼黑协定这段了解不是很多，加之当下的政治局势，对二战似乎又有了更多的理解。荞麦一如既往，好会挑剧本啊，太适合他了。
影片结束的字幕把电影的格局拉低了。读过电影梗概以后我还在问自己为啥要看这么一部片子，其实细想，人类应该每年都得出几部二战题材的电影，直到下次世界大战之后才会停下吧
我们不能选择我们所处的时代，我们唯一的选择就是如何回应。
7/10
最后要哭出来了。thankyou thankyou thankyou
继ggad后又一对英国男人和他的致命德国男友。
刚看完书来看电影，重要情节大体相同，但是缺少了书中细节的心理描述，整个过程也就不那么紧张和刺激了，甚至是反转都是有迹可循，没有惊喜感。
Another side of the story.
有惊喜，没有硝烟战火，简单几场戏却把希特勒和他的德意志帝国描绘得如此令人窒息和恐惧。
虽然看似主角们做的是无用功，虽然最后的战争没有避免，但不做怎么能知道呢
7分。完成度较高，但缺陷明显。本质上是一部披着历史正剧的皮的英式青春片，夹带着大时代背景下小人物的渺小与无奈，以及属于那一时代人的悲伤。结合英法绥靖政策，本片在历史片中算是交出了一份不错的另类答卷，肯定了张伯伦政策的一定积极作用，同时借着一个虚构的间谍故事紧紧牵住观众心弦，使得电影颇具紧张感与观赏价值。但影片在部分细节处理上不够严谨，如制造双男主见面的情节过于巧合、小人物与政治家同台演出显得目的性过于明确等。

故事还算流畅，帅哥好看，cp好嗑，仅此而已。
虽然影片一直洗白张伯伦看着不爽，但没想到结尾字幕竟然能把英国二战胜利归功于张伯伦用慕尼黑协定牺牲苏台德换来的那一年偏安。真被恶心吐了。
通过两个小人物的角度展现慕尼黑协议签订前后英德双方的立场态度，可以作为一定的历史背景补充，有一定的剧作张力，但是不太满意最后电影对张伯伦谋略的反转刻画，就算不太了解历史的我都会觉得突兀和前后矛盾，就会对主创是否能正视历史产生疑问。
说不上来哪里不对。一切似乎太过于轻而易举，而结论下得又过于草率。学院风格稳扎稳打确实没错，但好像就缺了那一点让人留恋的催化剂。这个结尾毁在了最后一句字幕上。
“这不可能比你家人还重要！”
电影其实质量还不错，如果没有结尾那几行“注解”，也许就不会有洗白张伯伦的争议了。
3.5/George和Jannis演牛津同学、和Jessica在这片二次合作演夫妻 都很有CP感 满足了 然后就没有可点的地方了
Jannis德国90后里最帅我说累了 很难不陷入那一汪湖水蓝的眼眸 搭谁都有cp感 荞麦果然很适合大荧幕 然而期待了这么久的电影 看完感觉跟没看一样😹
