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.
Maggie Q还是美的，但每次她拿起枪突突突或者一个转身飞踢我就会觉得严重审美疲劳，夏琳、尼基塔、虎胆龙威里忘了名字的角色在我脑子里轮流闪现。
近两年女权风潮渐盛，女杀手类型片也开始量产，但真材实料的不多，至于片中两位杀手从生死相斗直接滚到床单，着实有点莫名其妙。本片总体而言过于平淡，传统，没啥太大亮点的。
局长依旧稳
跟香港电影《门徒》一点儿关系都没有。是动作少一点儿的《安娜》。
有几个打斗场面太好看了，看得我一个人在家欢呼。在牢房里那段，末尾回忆那一段。有些部分太过血腥残忍了，不喜欢。还有就是，这男的那么老也不帅为啥愿意跟他睡？
虽然手握最新科技和武器，但本质依旧是过时的套路动作片。一如老去的蝙蝠侠，已有大妈感觉的赤裸特工。P.S.局长已经有“习惯性假死”标签了。
高开低走？除去结尾的嘴炮升华还是可以的 mq依旧很美
突出李美琪可以理解。前面是标准的商业动作片套路也整得不错。。。但是故事你要编圆点啊，走点心啊……后期那是什么玩意啊？
也就几场搏斗的戏份有些暴力感，其他也就是平平无奇了
女主时强时弱,一碗鸡汤就可以逆天改命.气场不错.
就是一部爆米花动作片，值得一看。
囚牢里Q的那段打戏真的太酷了，当时心想“崽子们，让你们欺负Nikita，挨揍了吧”
剧情极其老套，毫无紧张感的追车及打斗戏使人昏昏欲睡。
逻辑不通的电影，水平拉胯到连八十年代的动作片都不如，不明白几位主演为什么接这样的戏
突出李美琪可以理解。前面是标准的商业动作片套路也整得不错。。。但是故事你要编圆点啊，走点心啊……后期那是什么玩意啊？
只是跟基顿的搭配太怪异了，完全没有代入感啊
6.0分。剧情堪称莫名其妙，马丁·坎贝尔自《英伦对决》后又凭借自己导演的功力拯救了一个烂剧本。话说马丁为啥要淌狮门和千禧年影业这个B级动作电影公司的浑水啊…重回大厂导动作电影不好吗。看来《绿灯侠》的打击真的挺大的，不论是对谁……
真就挺平平常常的剧本，之前看预告还是挺期待，演员阵容也可，但就是太普通了，Maggie Q的戏路有点被困住了，老是这类身手矫健的女特工，姐，可以适当的换换戏路了，局长大人貌似客串，一头一尾，一开始“死”的很快，后来又突然出现再次赴死…迈克尔基顿其实这个角色是有记忆点的，但是打着打着就滚床单的安排…最后又莫名其妙…反派也没立住，也不知道全片他们都为啥，为我Q姐加一星
所以Samuel L Jackson演的角色到底要假死幾次？
还敢更烂些吗？一部好动作片无论演员动作，好的剧情才是前提，赶紧看看安娜压压惊！！！！
