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.
最近网飞6分电影里算是有些亮点的了，但不多。
不否认有其风格和立意上的独到之处，虽然但是……是有多厌男和恐男才能拍出这么个玩意儿？
选角和场面确实是大开销，不过下回建议留点儿给剧本，都啥年代了还来这套老学校间谍桥段。
高司令挺适合这种冷面杀光所有挡路的极不正确的非传统英雄，和安娜互相吐槽的部分也不错，但求求好莱坞别再拿无人机拍动作场面了。
现如今这类好莱坞顶级规模的特工动作大戏都陷入俗套了。异国枪战、追车、肉搏、女杀手、bromance、阴谋斗争这些该具备的元素都翻来覆去拍烂了。顶级规格的视觉效果、高司令美队肉搏也真枪实弹，但能让人看的为之一振吗？也没有。再次刷新网飞预算天花板的A级制作还是没有任何新意没有二刷的价值。
空镜头有点滥用。气质不太好
更像是一篇尽量抓了许多重点的命题作文，这样的作文是否真诚见仁见智。填充了大量宗教性别意象符号，当我以为加兰也就如此了的时候，结尾生产那part陡然凶到尖叫，这部分无疑是精彩的，我暂时消化不良。
一种男性视角的女权主义，女导演拍片子可能不会把女主角放到如此任人摆布而不会反抗的田地
单性生殖的蒲公英，几乎对男性是恐怖之源的表态。男友、房东、牧师、警察，同一样、无休止的威胁、压迫，身边都可见的现实恐怖，望而却步的性别政治，谁会不怕男人呢
5｜真的很无聊….滥用无人机到令人发指的程度…..ChrisEvans演得太油腻了…鉴于最近kenergy爆棚的高司令以及开场安娜的碎花西装导致观影过程中我始终觉得这会是个喜剧片….但这似乎是个严肃动作片….于是我真的代入不了….好不容易要代入了Lloyd一句ken-doll又把我拉出来了….（哪怕是kenergy高司令和克里斯桃，高司令秒了（安娜美死我了
和堙灭天差地别吧也就 故事最后完全讲不明白感觉导演也自行放弃了 塞一些宗教因素了事
绝了，这个影像和寓意，不是一般人拍不成这样吧。厉害了。
本来还挺期待的，现在看来又是一部及格线动作片，就算有喜欢的演员也弃了
拍出了女性对男性极端化特质的深层恐惧，但最后的和解是作为一个女性不能接受的
- 6.8
从婚姻到社会，女性挣扎在男性恶意之中，或仅是在幻觉中被迫害妄想？不是很明确，主题也因此让人迷惑，喜欢摄影和色调延续自湮灭，不喜欢这个讲故事的方式，导演没有太强调怪奇故事，而是外化一种恐慌的心理状态，配乐还不错
吓亲死。男人继承男人的话语，男人的伤口，在彼此的嘴里屁眼里脊椎里重生，爬向最近的女
前面氛围拉满，后面飞上天了…讲啥已经不重要了
这个电影竟然能拍两个小时！看来网大现在也可以泛指网飞大电影了。唯一的亮点大概是CE把高司令称作“ken doll”。
