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.
中毒死亡的照片 解剖车祸的女尸 母亲提醒隐形眼镜 三处都暗示过最后活下来的是本体
其实女主是否存活对于这个电影的叙事已经不再重要，尽管如此，我觉得大家还是要耐心一点把电影全程看完再做评价。否则各种似是而非的误导真的让人遗憾。
但是在这样的社会里 又何来的对小狗的恻隐之心呢
确实让人想到天鹅婉歌，形式与主题不错，拍的确实烂，不如天鹅挽歌完整精致。
黑色幽默，冷漠的，所谓的互惠互利和格斗演练都有点可爱
觉得挺悲哀的，女主很可怜。虽然活了，到还不如去死。
导演太贼了，故意留下既像本体又像复制体的线索，让你自己琢磨。
结局有点意外，加一颗星。我的判断是最后活下来的还是本体。只是他也不能够做自己，因为她的妈妈和男友都把它当做是复制体。借用一句名言：有的人死了，他还活着；有的人活着，其实他已经死了
一般水平，各种元素都有，显得有点凌乱了，反转有点硬。很多需要洗洗雕刻，都没有处理好。
傻白甜，从硬科技来看漏洞比较多，但是从伦理上确实有这样的风险，看看也不错
有点小意思的电影，但总觉得还差点什么。等大神们写完影评我再来刷一刷
本体跟替身都有可能活下来，这开放式结局看得我蛋疼，一开始顺向思维就是本体被毒死了，替身穿着本体外套顶替本体去了决斗场，男友跟母亲都知道毒杀计划，都知道是替身作证是本体，不吃墨西哥菜，车撞烂等。又有一些伏笔比方说开始答题就错了毒杀的题，破碎的手机，扎起的头发，出现皮肤问题，路上大哭等等。错乱复杂又都有道理，想不明白，最想吐槽的就是母亲护着替身，什么鬼
里层 发现男朋友和妈妈是谋杀共犯时 观众看到的是强化这种对人的物化 你爱的不是人 而是他的特点 当特点可以被取代 改变 人本身也就不重要了 而理解的翻转也没有推翻这层控诉
其实女主是否存活对于这个电影的叙事已经不再重要，尽管如此，我觉得大家还是要耐心一点把电影全程看完再做评价。否则各种似是而非的误导真的让人遗憾。
不是开放结局，就是克隆身活下来了，但也是痛苦地活着。这创意可以拍出更加好看的影片，浪费了。
其实是不是本体都不重要了，21世纪人类需要多一些探讨伦理的内容，就喜欢这种直击灵魂的电影。
才是社会人生中积极的东西。
女主成了替身的替身！创意是好的…就女主像机器人一样背台词…
我觉得拍的很好，看到1/3以为是雌竞，看到2/3时以为是复仇爽剧，终究没有落俗。
廉价的爱情也就罢了，被亲人抛弃这个设定太坏了。结尾更令人窒息，生存技能修满又有什么用，带着痛苦面积跟抛弃自己的亲友生活在一起简直生不如死。感觉本体最幸福的时刻是准备决斗这一年，宛若重生。
