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.
反派男主角，为啥不在最后要掉下去的时候抓女主角的脚呢？
电影的导演就是原著小说的作者（小说发表于2006年）
故事很简单，
其实镜头语言是很美的，假如加上一个俗套的开头和结尾都是印度版的CMBYN，但非要故弄玄虚搞艺术化，就有点……自娱自乐。
当结尾阿努贾从包里翻出照片时，姐弟两人终于又一次做到「心灵互通」。其实根本不需要任何LGBT元素的裹挟，《钴蓝爱恋》讲的就是生活的故事。按自己想要的方式生活，或成为流浪画家，或成为板球教练，或成为吟游诗人。不被任何观念影响或约束的生活之魅力。电影无论从质感、色调、节奏还是摄影方式上来看，都太不「印度」了。这很像拉美导演或者意大利人能够拍出来的东西（马克伯格OR索伦蒂诺OR阿莫多瓦），多元化的风格带来多重不一样的体验，看来印度人被宗教束缚已久的惯性思维，也在与时俱进中，有所改变了。
刚开始还以为男主是跟老师，没想到是跟房客，吻戏野战在43分钟，这剧拍得节奏很缓慢前面暧昧有一段时间我看得睡着了，之后剧情就非常厉害了，48分钟有一个撞桌捏橘子🍊的镜头好形象、1:06那半个苹果🍎也像溥仪被赶出紫禁城的那天，1:15老师一脸懵逼接盘还被一条咸鱼嫌弃，房客有句话说得好：我喜欢的东西很多，可一但得到了就都不喜欢了，好渣但真实，还擅长拐跑好人家的孩子，1:20分弟弟还梦到三人行
上到一处凸起休息，
故事倒是不刺激，节奏很好，拍摄画面很刺激。
初看片名以为是自然灾害之类，原来还有凶杀，不错
cast还行，一路逃命的公路片，前期男女主秀恩爱，然后车祸，陷入政治kidnapped阴谋，跌跌撞撞逃到大使馆求救无奈外交官也在该kidnapped事件中干预想让男主干脆沦为事件中“倒霉”的人，可惜男主开挂各种反杀最后从四五层楼左右的停车场找好时机跳下来，瓦解绑匪的阴谋释放人质。整片节奏不错，喜欢这类逃亡惊悚型剧情
的确有很多CMBYN式的元素，房客、作家、桔子、衬衫以及换了种说法的以你的名字呼唤我直接在台词中出现，等等，包括前半程故事走向和节奏调调也挺像。非常文艺迷影范，布列松、黑泽明、塔可夫斯基纷纷出镜，洛丽塔、莫里斯等等也被提及。摄影构图很漂亮，美术布景很舒服，和以往的印度电影观影经验大不同。可惜后半程掉得有些多，在隐身与逃跑中舔舐时代身份之悲苦，反倒不如副线女人之间的互救来得动人。
初看片名以为是自然灾害之类，原来还有凶杀，不错
丹泽尔·华盛顿儿子主演，他的表演与电影中所扮演的角色一样，满是厄运，非常糟糕，没有其父的犀利与身手，一张软弱的大众脸，窝窝囊囊，一无是处。导演的叙事亦是懒洋洋，漏洞百出。导演又强行加入了很多政治色彩，却又无力驾驭，更让影片雪上加霜。
周末晚上看看还是挺刺激的，就是感觉结尾有点anticlimax
我有诸多难过，能与人诉说不足一二。我与男主类似，有好强的代入感。一遇渣男误终身，同性感情，想了想，却又不知道与何人诉说。他流浪在外，我的心也在外流浪。
节奏太缓慢了，演技有点尴尬，色彩和构图不错，诗写得挺好，老师明明甩男友100条街好不好。
其实镜头语言是很美的，假如加上一个俗套的开头和结尾都是印度版的CMBYN，但非要故弄玄虚搞艺术化，就有点……自娱自乐。
前半段抄cmbyn,后半段谈姐弟俩的觉醒与逃离，很割裂，但印度同影一直走在前进探索的道路上，着实让人羡慕
