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.
最后，愿世界再无谜语人🙏🏻
与瑞茜·威瑟斯彭主演的《涉足荒野》如出一辙，都是自我救赎重新面对社会的一种方式。只不过娜奥米沃茨以54岁高龄出演这样尺度的小制作是否值得？
浪费了人生的90分钟 原来是为了真人真事改编 不然这么无聊的剧本不知道谁写的 说是女主通过救赎男主自我救赎 完全没感受到 就看到俩人怎么挣扎求生了 雪地的场景很多都重复利用的 总之不要看
剧情还不错，不过没有看过电视剧可能对人物有点陌生，在剧情理解上会有些困惑。拍摄手法很像小型网络剧，也确实很像是HBO电视剧的前传。总的来说还是很不错的，可以看看尝试一下。
娜奥米真的老了，不知道是不是为了贴合剧情，这里面真的好憔悴，不过她最近几年怎么老是在这种波澜不惊的片子里展现演技，接点好片子吧
勉强打个3星吧。1080P 21/10/06
我觉得不怎么好看，不知道为什么大家怎么看，藤原龙也怎么会有这样的剧情
毫無驚喜平平無奇的劇作，勝在景色優美，演技尚有說服力。大自然本身的聲音足夠震撼，而少有的配樂(唱段)也能起到畫龍點睛的效果。娜奧美是怎能做到每到一個年齡段都能修煉到另一種美麗的？
根據真實故事改編；
不懂就不懂，毕竟这就是人生
沉浸式遇险体验+预防自杀干预导向，小成本的电影本身更像是一种价值观宣教片。
男主你这不是写小说了 是纪实文学了…… 绿帽癖丈夫……
冲着藤原龙也看的这部悬疑，但演绎得有些故弄玄虚了，书中剧情与书外剧情应该有更加鲜明的区分，才能体现出原著的引人之处。原著主要是利用假亦真时真亦假的特点，但片子书内书外初始就用的都是藤原龙也，也就失去了这种感觉，更像个倒序时空蒙太奇的电影了。这个锅导演得背。还有就是黑帮也没个黑帮样，整体风格缺乏黑色氛围带来的紧张感，其实悬疑也必然要伴随着解开迷雾的压迫感，只有这种迷雾里的冰冷和迷雾外的炙热相结合，才能创造出炸裂的优质悬疑片。
嗯，其实对于黑帮电影，精品太多，能说出新东西不容易，据说这是《黑道家族》的前篇，由于没看过电视剧，估计理解一般。
前传后传最大的问题就是证明其合理性，我们都知道了后面的故事，再做前面的铺垫就太做作了。儿子演爸爸小时候是唯一的噱头吧，不过不好意思 这个小安东尼真演得不咋地， 唯一的亮点就是Vera这个妆和演技了
即便这片是默认所有人都看过《黑道家族》来拍的，也是非常差。想表达什么呢？
从既有的事实展开合理的联想，如此思考下去，自然而然就能看到被隐藏的事实。不得不说，小日本挺会讲故事……
蓝光原盘，音画效果一流，风景如画。剧情：在山顶“一个男人在作，一女个人在救”但故事里的故事却是悲剧的背景……（美女老了！55岁了，岁月不饶人啊！）
交代的有些散乱，黑道家族的前传。很想再看一遍黑道家族，喜欢六七十年代的电影画面。（2021/12/23 zl7day）
