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.
太刻意了，主旋律最怕刻意。最难忘的是那个雪夜，大家对着玻璃上的党徽宣誓，真的是信仰和悲壮交织的感觉。
除了主演一样，其它都是无节操的模仿。
还可以，比几年前成龙拍的那部好多了。周也这个角色真的很多余
“德帕尔马式”抗战间谍片，全靠美术摄影撑着。质量比前几年瞎胡闹的闹剧版好多了。
虽然是主旋律电影，但拍的真心不错的。特别是张涵予跟范伟还有很多演员的可圈可点，是部可以看的片子
我知道，很多人看不惯中国胜利，但是没关系，我们就是胜利了。抗日英雄，永垂不朽！
电影充分展示了我们电影工业除了人才，别的都没问题，化妆道具环境氛围都很到位，除了几个无伤大雅的穿帮镜头基本没啥硬伤。但是剧本基本负分。给我感觉编剧（或者投资方）既不是军迷史迷，也对观众接不接受毫不关心。用很多无谓的并不能唤起观众共情的牺牲来展现悲壮。问题是你只要如历史所述就够了啊。庄护士这个角色的戏份也可以算得上是毫不掩饰地强行捧红了。帐篷之外地剧情每一秒都是多余的。庆幸当时没贡献票房。
华纳：你拍也好不拍也罢，这个项目一定要上马。
佩服自己居然看完了，也够无聊。不知集编剧导演于一身的究竟何许人也，为啥会被华谊兄弟找来干活？
2021/12/17@TOHOシネマズなんば。以前真的看不懂，现在代码写多了，用程序的思维来理解整个主线就变得容易很多。这个系列最厉害的地方就是，一直在预言（规划）未来可能（即将）发生的一切。
完全喜欢不上来，制作倒还不错，多加一星鼓励
先不提meta策略的有效性（《双峰：回归》曾经给我们作了榜样），失败之处在于它本应该是关于空间的电影，但却变成了心理现实主义电影（甚至连反派人物都从“建筑师”变成了“心理咨询师”）；诚然，在《矩阵革命》的结尾，尼奥和史密斯在雨夜中毫无意义但又无比炫酷地打了十分钟的架后，沃卓斯基对于设计动作不再感兴趣，任凭其沦为好莱坞程式化的“无影像”，连续性的武打节奏变成了高速剪辑的碎片、飞溅的爆炸物和人体形状的残块，正如某角色所言，它失去了曾经的“优雅”，Matrix变得张牙舞爪，直白到吓人地展示其武装暴力与愚民策略的恐怖；因此，即便当沃卓斯基将主题切回到尼奥和崔妮蒂的爱时，这些连带的拖泥带水之物让捕捉这些情感变得不大可能（而这点在前作里就做得更好）。
范伟太帅，张涵予太冷酷，烟是豪情，酒是苦楚。
这导演真可以拉黑了
还不错。。但是劫车的戏份比较多。。斗智斗勇的场景少了些。。
张涵予的硬汉角色依旧到位，而范伟的喜剧味淡些以后，取而代之的是几分坚忍。
华纳捞钱意图太明显 老胳膊老腿出来打斗演黄昏恋我都替他们尴尬 台词绝对是反面教材 为了装逼空无一物无所不用其极 连自嘲都解救不了 求放过没看过黑客帝国的观众吧 最惨的是这部只是为了讲个开头建立世界观 我想知道导演后续如何圆回来 需要恶补前作来洗刷我对这部的尴尬印象/看neo刮完胡子感觉好多了
前半场我以为自己在看SNL的一个吐槽sketch。话说我真的宁可看Jonathan Groff和Neil Patrick Harris唱一出音乐剧，也比一遍遍看20年前的flashback强。可能借Smith之口说出那句“是华纳在强行要求拍续集”时，导演编剧在疯狂眨眼暗示“我们也是被迫的”。
老把小鬼子拍成话唠也是没啥新意了
美术摄影优点夸过后，题材的断裂感就特别明显的凸显了问题，一二三章节奏太乱，前面墨迹了半天突然就结尾了，动作设计也不好看，几乎都是乱糟糟的打成一团，断层之后强行接戏很奇怪，魏晨这角色进入的简直莫名其妙，太刻意了
