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.
感觉比第一部搞笑情节多了？但我不明白既然是亲生的，那父亲为什么要一直逃跑。oscar配音父亲，所以我一看到父亲的脸自动带入oscar的脸😂😂😂
这种老人+动物+小男孩成长的中成本制作在十年前还是迪士尼最拿手的题材，而如今却只有东木能拍得出来了。相较10年代后期的几部片，本片对于东木来说确实算是信手拈来的小品，但依然温柔如故
感觉的话没有第一部惊艳 但制作特效啥的还是可以的 是这一部是女儿寻找亲生父亲 最终家庭大团圆 黑暗神秘系 搞笑风格
我们不得不学会慢慢接受他的“倚老卖老”
不如真人版好看，真人版里每个人都是哥特又奇怪的，一家人虽然奇怪但很和谐，动画版第一部和第二部都是以星期三为主角，并着重描写了她与家庭的格格不入，她适应不了这个家庭，总感觉ooc了
东木此片是没有好好打磨啊，没有什么冲突，就是单纯的老爷车展了
轻松，随和，令人愉悦，影像的力量和舒缓的节奏缓慢地释放着影片的真挚感情。希望东木老爷保重身体，以后有机会继续拍出自己想拍的电影啊！
和闺女一起看的，还不错，哥特风格的动画，不一样的风味
dear dear Wednesday😂看的还是蛮快乐，喜欢这个风格
举重若轻 感染力还是欠在小男孩身上了；但再看到老东木骑马和举枪 我还有什么遗憾呢（jose gonzalez竟然参与了音乐）
好爱Wednesday啊，喜欢她的台词
服老版本的完美的世界。把枪放下，回归家庭。
对于Wednesday来说，一辈子的感情只够抱爸爸一次
和第一部比起来还是无聊了点，大概习惯了无非就是正常人说的话他们都颠倒罢了，也就没什么新奇的了。不过也没很差。中庸吧。
一直期待着劲爆场面，但通篇最暴力的竟然是一只鸡，哈哈。老头岁数大，不易，不知道怀抱大妞的时候，还有感觉吗。
看着很放松，不要带脑子就好了~小妞电影。
D＋/ 从照片/图像的不可信到类型/形象的不可信，几乎是通过一只鸡穿梭在人物故事和叙事模板之间信笔散文了。当然也可以看作《理查德朱维尔》中那个连接中心与边缘的长镜头所展示出的“边境”扩写。有动人之处甚至有点被煽哭……不过除了一些朴素的良善信念和轻轻落下的生命感怀之外，好像还是没有太多别的东西。
无神话的西部 与 有终点的公路，回首凡尘，那些属己之物真的不重要，德州也好，墨西哥也罢，心安即大地，东木与电影亦然。
东木老爷子的新电影，且看且珍惜。他和我姥姥一样年纪，今年91岁了，看的时候不免会代入感很强，看到他手上的老年斑，莫名的心疼。和男孩在墨西哥边远小镇度过的一段时间，弥补了天伦之乐，每个人缺失的家庭温暖都在那段时光都被充盈。男孩和老人的相处复刻了完美世界的光景，但又有不一样的感动，东木在电影里的那段话，仿佛是借着人物表达自己的想法。结局很好，他回去找他需要守护的人了，真好。
就知道小女孩一定是亲生的，毕竟她和她妈长得那么像！
