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.
如果你用两倍速度看他的打戏会是一部非常优秀的爽片
妈惹法克侠也难救的片子 大女主类型电影就是一个噱头 更特么尴尬的是 导演居然还想讲个文艺一点的故事 另外混血儿老的确实快
暴力动作爽片，剧情可忽略不计～ 女神老了，但身材保持得很好！3
maggie状态真好。怀念在越南吃吃喝喝慢慢溜达的那两个月，不知道什么时候还能再去了。
刚开始感觉还行，越来越发展成装逼犯。Maggie Q真老，演技属于内心戏很重哪一路
各种打各种杀，各种华服豪宅，加上文艺范儿满满的书店才营造出的完美大女主人设，毁在莫名其妙的床戏～滚床单的大叔真是颜值身材到戏份都是减分项！
Maggie Q二选一胜者活命，也透着编剧逻辑的敷衍。
暴力血腥的大女主童话。女主一路打怪，文戏四舍五入等于没有。武戏还可以，但也比较好莱坞同质化。
这个剧本的故事和角色端的是“羚羊挂角无迹可求”。
这部电影有两个震惊到我的地方，一个是Michael Keaton 与Maggie Q 之间不断调戏对方，很少看到基顿如此饥渴的样子，两个人之间还挺来电；第二就是靠近结尾处一个残忍的杀戮，没有想到这个镜头如此血腥，令人看了睡不着觉。不是因为吓人，是令人窒息的悲伤。
非常一般，但又比《凯特》好点，但总体上就是两个字：平庸。
如果没有续集的话 那这部电影整个感觉是没有灵魂的动作戏，也没有想象中那么多的action scene，有点不知所谓
过瘾到还是比较过瘾，1没有慢镜头👍2不废话出镜就是开干
男主男配都超过70岁了，天！导演还是007的御用导演，这个阵容好奇怪的样子。故事打斗都还过得去，3星没大问题。
7+，爽片，节奏好，尼基塔神勇依旧，安保也忒儿戏了，保镖都是星际玩家吧，监控室的小姐姐我可以。
本来只准备给两颗半的（豆瓣为啥没半星？），冲着老美女……还是美片现在的通病，就是不会讲故事了……除了一桶乱斗枪战爆炸，最后为了啥都不清楚！
有几个打斗场面太好看了，看得我一个人在家欢呼。在牢房里那段，末尾回忆那一段。有些部分太过血腥残忍了，不喜欢。还有就是，这男的那么老也不帅为啥愿意跟他睡？
Q姐不见老啊，还是很漂亮，只是史密斯夫妇那一桥段恶心到了我…
Cliched plot, decent transnational filming, smart editing, nice mirror shots
局长、秃鹫和老阿姨的动作戏真的乏善可陈，故事也毫无新意，还没看的就不推荐观看了。
