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.
哈哈蛮好 因为不信天造地设唯一灵魂伴侣那一套 看韩剧会觉得为什么男女主角痛苦来痛苦去都这么痛苦了还搞非你不可一定要在一起那一套 喜欢浪漫的体质很大程度上也是因为里面的关系很轻松不沉重会觉得他们在一起很好不在一起也很好 遇到谁还是取决于你是谁吧
人物性格不怎么鲜明，没看出谁跟谁更灵魂伴侣，剪辑非常之差。
浓浓的韩剧感 不想标记的程度 李栋旭那条线有任何可信性吗
被日常打败的时候，暖暖的：）当然栋旭完全是原因啦哈哈哈
2022年第一部电影。非常标准的工业化合家欢套餐，非常没营养不需要大脑但是元旦看又可以忍受(￣∇￣)……说是韩版《真爱至上》实在过誉了，只能给个及格吧，这个韩国演员阵容还是有些白瞎的。
只看了允儿的cut 喜欢喜欢 过年就得看这种
四人的排列组合来讨论soulmate挺有意思的，但出轨那一段的有种是为了论证“苹果论”而安排，因为两位女主面对出轨做出不一样的选择时，并没有符合两女主的性格。
因为你是你，所以你做了那些选择。
Auld Lang Syne，感觉上是韩版的真爱至上……
与其说相信灵魂伴侣，不如说修行到一定境界，可以百搭了
感觉已经很久没看韩国电影了…想着这个导演这个演员阵容应该不会出错吧，结果这特么演了个什么鬼，都不想吐槽了哈哈。
插曲都很好听，剧情…很无语，轻快合家欢≠浮皮潦草不过脑
互补则是一个比另一个更成熟，一开始可能互相排斥，但是慢慢接触反而加速另一个成长达成同样的生活节奏
虽然老套 但节日气氛下 这种电影确实会是大部分人的选择
導演想拍愛的偶然與必然性，又想拍靈魂伴侶論，想法挺好，但是影片的剪輯太亂，最後哪個也沒顧到，缺了點靈性。
河那那条线的剧情最棒 单独拍成一部电影会不会比这部还火呢
韩国好像每年都会拍这么一部 这个阵容是真的强 虽然故事很一般 但最后还是有些感动的…我志旼欧尼真是太美了…
作为棒子的贺岁片来说，韩星荟萃+《野蛮女友》的导演操刀，虽然俗套临摹，但质感还行；婚礼的“卡农”闪耀，把新年的情绪直接拉满，挺适合跨年看的。
齐天大圣只是一个名字，每个人都可以是齐天大圣。这版改编的大话西游是有内容，挖到了核心的东西。
片头极有冲撞力的四种颜色拼成一张桌，没想到这是最有冲击的片段。四个人个性没那么鲜明，无聊乏味，浪费好题材。
