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.
一生求一枚西岛俊秀这样的温柔可人。求不得我就靠这个系列反复看了！21年剧场版他还是这么儒雅帅气，这个男人不会老的嘛！！
喜欢女主。简单干净，带起很美好的青春回忆啊
2022.7.18 you should be there, when I was in Europe.
可能拍摄还是按照短剧的方式，所以一些情节连贯性会比较弱。
卧槽卧槽卧槽好久没看到这种让我疯狂心动的电影了，俩人撩来撩去我要死了😭在圣经上偷偷磨小手指，祷告后的亲吻我日真的好会啊，拿捏死我了
十年了 爷终于又嗑上cp了😭 肯鸡真是世界上最好的1 我想跟走在这里的每个人都炫耀你的好😭😭😭
很多个场景，让我想起曾姐，离开的那天在车的后排，车的颠簸，让我们有意无意地碰到对方的手，最后在快到机场的时候，她靠在我肩上，我握住她的手。好像知道对方要走不一样的路，没有承诺，没有想把对方带走，fling就留在那里了
早上醒了眼镜在对方脸上/吃醋着画了有着橡木树的塔/圣经上的触碰/才不是生日礼物的流星碎片/祷告后的初吻/车后座的拥吻/抵着墙的拥抱/浴缸里的受洗/ido ihave/山野湖际里熠熠生辉下同行的背影/you should have been there/not gonna let me go
我对这个片的滤镜已经厚到人生中第一次觉得中年人的患得患失好可爱！吃醋也好可爱！
年过半百，我爱你就是天天担心你是不是要死了。
各种日常碎碎念中穿插美食指导的观感还是挺舒适，互相脑补生病要死快了也是有点意思。同志之交不淡，依然如水。
啊，看到这个就想起来2020跨年的时候还在大阪的酒店看昨日的美食新春特别版。好想哭。他们还去京都玩了，我也好想再去京都。嘤嘤嘤…
直男装基，哈哈哈哈哈，以及最后的樱花野餐真的是太美了呐//就真的是个很平淡的剧，感觉比剧版还要平淡套路哎
挺温暖的故事还是被拉长了
情感升温为止都可以下饭，结尾突然网络小说套路，感动谁？
哈哈哈糖分超标！！！金发超适合kenji~~（焦糖苹果哈根达斯吐司必须要实践一次
演Jamie的演员太顶了，完全击中我！片子胜在氛围感的营造，欲说还休的、宗教重负下的、在克制下汹涌的爱意就在指尖、在碰触、在拥抱。但是故事本身的走向非常老套，很像是《违命》Disobedience。不过那部电影质感真实很多。
"Cool."
爱虽永恒，但若灵魂不自由，爱亦不自由。女主太飒了，若无法挣脱束缚，那么打破牢笼你肯跟我走吗
标准电影行业产物。两位颜值可以但没有chemistry，人设剧情逻辑上没有硬伤但感动不到心里。画面摄影配乐服装都挺好的。送流星陨石是个有趣的情节，消えていくものを永遠に形にするなんて、也是暗示了主题吧。想想其实M的逻辑挺有意思的。
