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.
颇有老式政治犯罪电影的味道，配乐影像都是，故事发生地希腊雅典，不禁让我联想到了科斯塔
身处异国他乡，语言不通的孤独感和无力感，经历过的人很容易被代入其中
电脑看卡，拿手机看也卡
美国情侣在希腊发生车祸却意外卷入了一场政治绑架。前戏略长，紧张感还是不错的，男主光环太猛烈，可以一看。★★★☆
大卫华盛顿在这场电影里没有威风八面，只是做一个普通人在逃亡，除了最后略有开挂之外。基本是一场能猜得到的悬疑动作片，所以也是勉强及格。
坎妹公款旅游，David继续贡献高中才艺表演，加上错位的故事，能红才有鬼。
最后的翻盘看着很给力。但是仔细想想好像并没有什么可能翻盘的地方。
坎妹打了个酱油 剧情还算可以 有点故弄玄虚
完美避开了该类型片可以有的全部优点。如果说前半段男主是普通人通过反派的愚蠢和主角光环的运气逃脱，后半段则是每次受伤战斗力都提升一个档次，是超级赛亚人么？
屎一样的烂片，唯一的目的就是为了造谣和把零元购洗成小白兔。
真的想不到 2021年了 还有这种质感的片子 我真的呕了
千万不要疲劳驾驶。片头曲好听，希腊风景不错。好喜欢这种胶片搭配异国风光的风格！海报也好看。
哈哈哈哈哈agent murphy一张sunshine boy的小脸蛋儿被官方调侃了
从画面到叙事都很复古，镜头运用也是增加不少悬疑感！还是值得一看的
这贝内特都中两枪了还能从四层跳下来砸车 你很勇哎 越往后面越没劲 Boyd你能不能支楞起来少打点酱油啊😤
黑人是真的皮实。#艾丽西亚维坎德补完计划#
坎妹打酱油的 男主战斗力算不错了 能保命到最后 2787
当代“The Man Who Knew Too Much”。以身体感知适应陌生环境，穆赫兰道式地进入城市/核心，在贝克特式荒诞中成为英雄。美国大使馆办公室《帝国事业：毁灭》。
小黑哥的演技比起他老爸还是逊色多了，不过有超级英雄附身的话没有什么任务是完成不了的！
无聊着就看完了，就是想看个结尾，原来哪有美国插手哪就乱
