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.
无病呻吟，所有情侣都逃不过的宿命吧，心动，相爱，争吵，心碎，再见。
搞不懂为什么国产爱情故事里的男人永远不会出门去追一下他女朋友
前面在一起速度再快，后面结尾速度也很快，快到让人怀疑
这是一个以年为单位的爱情故事，不是一年，而且一年又一年。
故事有点头重脚轻，但比想象中好，虽然传统，却是现实，有触动人心的点
寒冷的北京也有浪漫，但也有雾霾天一样的现实，只要心在一起就还能再相遇。
女的没考虑男的不容易，然后连机会都不给回老家了
抖音片段大集合，毫无新意，掠过疫情，一段mv和一段独白后俩人复合了，😂这样流水线上的片一天可以写三个吧 能不能用点心！！
女主就一工具人，男主设定是时尚女魔头里的海瑟薇吗？
或许失去之后才懂得珍惜是人性之一吧……还好结局是完美的……
有个女工作人员说东西好沉然后女主去帮她，然后两人拎盒子的轻松程度感觉盒子是空的。电影吗看了跟没看似的。
完了，我没救了，最近天天一做家务就开一个爱情片，啥剧情我都能看下去。
真实的部分让人讨厌再看到生活琐碎，理想的部分让人没有幻想的欲望。
其实我还挺吃久别重逢的设定，然而电影跟现实终究是不同的。
屿过天芹的良心售后，但可惜我们早已下头，江宇不是北京人就离谱，全片还有比你更标准的京片子吗？
太作了，女强男弱而已，请编剧结合生活，导向软饭男们多提供情绪价值嘛。
台词都是我和对象吵架时的，一模一样。但电影缺少了打动人心的地方，这是为什么呢？
豆瓣评分，看看就得了。
不要害怕分手，因为就算分开，这辈子也只能是你——
很普通的剧情啊，但是其实很真实了，爱情淡了，柴米油盐变得重要了，不去拼就没有面包，去拼就要抛下爱人。。。普通人是真不好生活啊
