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.
冲着Maggie Q看的，动作戏还算利落。如果不是靠成熟的制作，本片会挺难看。
挺不错了，看看马丁坎贝尔再次出山之作，还能看到老到面部都下垂的罗伯特帕特里克和怎么老都不变样的杰克森，要是请得动元奎做些凌厉风格的动作设计就更棒了
莫名其妙上的喜欢这个男人，还跟他一夜情，还不忍心杀掉他，虽然最后杀掉了他，但自己中途也差点死掉呀。
演员非常吸引人，但这个剧本简直是用脚写的，白瞎了这个阵容…2.5
尼基塔和神盾局长的再就业，当然还叫上了蝙蝠侠一起玩。。。
一言不合就开打，从头打到尾，废话文戏少而短，金妹妹辛苦了
最后二十分钟前，有些地方基调打趣得不像坎贝尔的手笔。比起以往沉稳的做足前戏，此番情节更显轻浮率性。三四次枪声乍然入画，调动观众情绪堪称一流，却无法令到结构与人物关系形散神聚。武戏生猛凌厉，纵然越南片段不堪回首，早个十几年，也许会将其溯源至完全的暴力反思。感受到马丁年近八旬的迟暮（或言"去细腻化"的玩票），复仇交杂于惺惺相惜与过度杀戮的中间地带，严肃不复从前，丝丝痛楚依旧。尽管难掩老气横秋，但还得夸它一句硬核：当年《黄金眼》要有这种尺度，或许能实现邦德更为彻底的颠覆。
飞车党老大是当年的水银人终结者～好惊喜啊～
心理学说人类习惯选择后面的选项，所以kill me or fuck me就上床了，如果说的是fuck me or kill me，估计就没有然后了
女性暴力犯罪的片子，一直不理解那个老人为啥权势滔天
一头雾水，好像都是提线木偶，为了剧情而打打杀杀。可惜了这么多真动作场面，以后还是别用枪了，直接拍个冷兵器时代的岂不省钱。
疫情严重，行业不景气，善良的Martin Campbell费尽心思给众多老人家找了一份工作，免得他们失业，所以不可以骂电影太烂，因为这是一个爱心项目，扶贫无罪嘛
不太行，文戏普通，武戏还藏着掖着的，音效单薄，节奏慢，还让老塞缪这么正经，真的只靠麦姬球吊着一口气啊……
这个结局也挺无语的，基顿一点本事没在身上是吧，这还能被打败我真的不相信，大概率是双方都没开枪，那问题是，这一百分钟导演说了个什么呢？
佐罗，007，龙叔，李美琪。超级英雄的尽头是东方女性（doge）
冲着尼基塔去看的，赤裸特工，已无法超越。40多岁还是这么打斗，不容易。多一星给辛苦。
尼基塔和T1000你俩算是都完了！千篇一律的拽，动作场面有《史密斯夫妇》的影子，但是这剧情也太扯了，整个片子故弄玄虚，半个小时能说明白的事儿扯了这么长时间？还说的莫名其妙！即便是当做电视剧的一集来看也太水了！
哈哈哈哈哈哈一个笑话。不知道上次看到每一个点都这么莫名其妙剪辑也胡哔造的电影是什么时候了。俩人突然模仿史密斯夫妇然后睡上的一刻我跟男朋友直接笑崩溃。另外，MaggieQ不值得一个年轻帅哥鲜肉和无限魅力八块腹肌的男人吗？这里头的一个比一个老！每次出现一个新人看上去都是Maggie的大舅的大哥的男人。
老派的槍戰動作場面，連餐桌上床上的小小玩笑都很江湖。很不錯的觀看體驗，回憶裡那個小女孩的精神氣可真是好。
迈克尔基顿又老又丑，都不如老塞缪尔，可惜了magicQ
