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.
烂到我想把Kenneth Branagh的脸从屏幕里扯出来打成开花馒头然后塞到他屁眼里一炮发射去外太空炸成烟花
除了莫名其妙的开头，其他都还不错，因为没看过原著和之前的电影，所以确实没猜出凶手
艾米汉莫不行啊……布拉纳还是那么喜欢给自己加戏
画面很棒，没看过老版，就是后面侦探是怎么得出结论的没讲明白，有点闪
比想象中好点 一开始我以为是"it's always the husband”结果是“romeo and juliet” 正如艾米锤的career一样已经被打死了🚬推理略弱 片头的一战戏我觉得啃泥爵非常适合拍war film
抄写都不及格，改编也不会！虽然故事还是那个故事，但导演为什么偏要去其精华！人物都没刻画好！影片中途一度睡过去了…
比大多数院线片好看，虽然剧情平平，但演员都比较自然，两场狭窄空间的动作戏很刺激。
但凡冠上“东北”二字，故事就有那儿味了。曾经的东北，黑社会猖獗，大家应该听过“乔四”。剧中的算是黑恶势力，地痞流氓，敲诈勒索。谢苗饰演的人民警察，正是施展拳脚的时候了。扫黑除恶，除恶务尽。
一定不能去读小说
谋财害命的路上容不得名声在外的大侦探，下次一定注意
连风景都是绿幕合成的，实在看不出什么诚意……布拉纳老师真是用实力证明自己的奥斯卡提名有多水……
前面背景交代略长，超过1小时吧。倒是埃及风光挺好
前半段感觉好慢啊 看到最后好压抑 “你永远不知道人会为了爱做出什么” “奎杰琳拒绝不了西蒙，所以……”
6.2/10，动作戏不错，作为一部网大，已经好于不少今年的院线电影了。
肯尼斯没事做可以去搞原创IP，大可不必在这霍霍阿婆，虽然不是原著党，但总觉得要对原著有尊敬吧。这寄吧改得什么啊。
其实相对来说还是挺喜欢这个版本的风格，优秀的作品需要不同时代的技术和理解将它传承
不纠结改设定这类问题的话其实还行，毕竟都看了这么多版魔改的福尔摩斯了，来点魔改的波洛倒也无伤大雅。
肯尼斯·布拉纳你真的好爱show off yourself！前一个小时拖拖拉拉狗血三角恋，后一个小时进展飞速，一切都如此想当然。去掉一些还算好看的人和风景之后就真的不知道在看什么了······
太太太无聊了，这导演也是，好自恋，搞多大个阵仗讲胡子的起源，黑白战壕整得挺艺术，形式与内容之间的毫无关联显得特别搞笑好嘛。又是导演又是主演就很容易落入个人显摆吹嘘的窠臼。
影片的前半段的确有些拖沓，但实际的案件和探案还是很有娱乐性的，实际上片子也的确没有必要那么长，但片子里那么多人被cancel或者在cancel边缘，估计都已经删了不少东西了。
