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.
哥特风格突出，人物做的不错，还有大瀑布、大峡谷等漂亮的风景、就是情节简单了点儿
太差了，能把亚当斯一家做得这么俗套真是背叛了这一系列的精神。
更多的意义在于纪录吧，以后分析东木的专题片里肯定无限和《荒野大镖客》闪回交错出现。
D＋/ 从照片/图像的不可信到类型/形象的不可信，几乎是通过一只鸡穿梭在人物故事和叙事模板之间信笔散文了。当然也可以看作《理查德朱维尔》中那个连接中心与边缘的长镜头所展示出的“边境”扩写。有动人之处甚至有点被煽哭……不过除了一些朴素的良善信念和轻轻落下的生命感怀之外，好像还是没有太多别的东西。
过于ooc和幼稚的反派使这个本应很棒的IP拍得还不如精灵旅社。
The Fester Method: How to Woo and Other Tips on love.
两星半 片方看星期三人气高给做的吧 但是感觉把握不住人设
感觉是亚当斯一家被套了个现代烂俗三地动画的皮，没了自己特点了…
漸入佳境，大章魚挺好玩的，本週內第二次看到高領毛衣喬-當boss 模板了
Wednesdy过于可爱了加一星 需要改名 以后改叫Monday好了
哥特元素越来越少了，剧情也略无聊...可我真的好爱这个ip，期待电视剧
剧情好水，从头水到尾，而且还挺闹。闹也就算了，扔的包袱也没多大响，这就很尴尬了。重点是打着哥特风的旗号，做的却是低幼合家欢的事儿，受众也就完全没有针对性。
6.5/10。「真正的牛仔，即便到90岁也依然有姑娘投怀送抱。」东木依然是那个孤独的、喜欢絮叨的老牛仔，可惜精神矍铄难掩岁月无情，往常的夫子自道也开始变得温情甚至是温吞。只是这次，看到他最后选择走进咖啡馆的时候，告别一位过去的救世主还是令人别样伤感。
看着老牛仔迟暮的身影还在拼，我实在不忍心给低分，每次都带着且看且珍惜的心在敬畏东木爷爷的作品。但讲真的这部拍得并没有很好，故事有些地方的发展真的不顺畅，很多桥段设计感略重。
一无既往地教育观众做个好人，期待下一部。。（淘宝可以买到片里的那个重要道具，搜“压饼器”，但好像不能压很薄的饼。）
爸爸感觉好油腻，都没有亚当斯的家族的暗黑系了，特别是拔鼻毛测DNA,真有恶心到我，弟弟和爸爸长得一样，所以老被姐姐星期三欺负，因为星期三过于聪明，感觉和亚当斯家族有点格格不入，她改造了舅舅的基因放入了聪明章鱼的基因，因此被邪恶科学家觊觎星期三的天才头脑，说星期三是自己失散多年的女儿，看长相还真是有那么丢丢像呢，最终科学家被变成邪恶鸡羊大怪，不过被章鱼舅舅打败了，结局当然是星期三认回了亚当斯一家，没啥笑果，亚当斯家族的暗黑也没表现太多，倍速看完
叙事结构性有点散，Wednesday叛逆期用环球旅行串起来有点没头没脑的。周三姐最后抱爸爸那一下把我吓得起了一身鸡皮疙瘩。
和第一部比起来差多了，套用了万能公路片的套路，很多细节差强人意
老爷子依旧是娓娓道来的风格，两人，一鸡，漫漫归家路，这种细腻的情感对于东木来说信手拈来。马戏是老牛仔对西部片的那份情怀，虽然只是星星点点的片段，但当那最具辨识度的配乐响起时，仿佛将我们待会那位沈体硬朗，气度不凡，牛仔还能在马背上驰骋的年代。而那句我不知道如何治愈“老”让人鼻子一酸，东木也是垂暮之年，看到他依旧健硕，希望他还能继续奋战在世界电影第一线。
鸡很抢戏，最直观感受是东木真的力不从心了，除了剧作上所做出的工整保守的选择外，曾经最强硬的牛仔如今一场简单的驯马戏也只能无奈地用远景和半身镜来为使用替身藏拙。除此之外东木所展现出的超越年龄的精力和状态仍然令人叹服。
