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.
只看了一半 只记得那个男主很帅 太像诗歌吧台词
此类风格也成了体系了。适合拉片，不适合纯观看，生理心理都略不适。
几乎要屏住呼吸看sex scene，调度得太好了，太好了，我再次体会到一种很久没有的感情。撕裂的疼痛下是茁壮成长、无法被隐瞒的生命力与希望。当忠于自己成为了一种政治选择，诚实的人就注定如此如此勇敢。“做人不能什么都怕，尤其是害怕自由。”我真开心我还能感受到这一切。
虽然有故事情节，但节表达方式和节奏实在喜欢不来
好在最后靠自己保护了自己的爱人
Hubert Milkowski太诱人了！
让你留恋不放手的是什么
镜头回到小酒馆里，他俩面对面坐着，眼神时不时聚焦在一起，又很快的闪开，为了正大光明的看上一会儿，他使劲儿吸了口烟吐向对面的人，接收到爱的信号后，对面那位把烟头弹向他做回应，接下来的几个来回，乐此不疲。——我就哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
看前面一半的时候，觉得这个调调正是我讨厌的调调，迷迷蒙蒙的音乐和脱离叙事的慢镜头特写细节，似有似无越大确定情绪目的的旁白，无法欣赏这种，同时还是一个该死的女权性冷淡仇男仇性的片子，可是后半段之后，片子戏剧性和故事性突然出来了，仇男仇性的性冷淡也没有了，好奇怪的片子！
诗意的暗黑童话，老巫婆气死人！导演好会拍男人
是好看的欸 看在两人颜值的份上给满星 其实核心案件一直没太看明白 太散了 男主看着不高 比例真不错 妥妥的大长腿
摄影手法和配乐旁边过于文艺片风格，有几个瞬间恍惚到莉莉周。以至于对恐怖片爱好者来说看了个空，事先声明我不属于恐怖片爱好者…但我觉得我也看了个空…
“做人不能什么都怕，尤其是自由”
说同妻看看历史背景，因此打低分大可不必，说反男同，看不了男同打一星的已举报，你这种恐同人的歧视跟风信子行动一样恶臭，请评价电影本身，谢谢
有尺度、有颜值、同性题材、警匪片、破案题材、正义。用这几个词可以基本概括整部电影，而以我作为业余电影爱好者的角度，这些东西足以让我安静地享受一个下午了。
很久没看到这么满意的一部同性片啦，相比现代背景下充满校园、青春、高颜值的甜甜耽美恋爱，我还是更偏爱以人物传记或某段历史、社会背景下的故事为原型的同性电影，或许在更为压抑、沉重的情境下，对他们感情中的真挚、痛苦、纠结也更感同身受吧。想到了本尼的《模仿游戏》，虽然讲述感情的部分不多，但也是表现出了一个迫害同性恋者的社会带给他们的伤害有多大。影片最后虽是开放式结局，但我觉得在当时的社会背景下多半是BE了，唉......
披着奇幻、恐怖外衣的对于自我成长、认知与觉醒的散文电影。
一场行动，两场活动，数次见面，扭转了一切。
媚俗且自我陶醉的创作，充满自渎式的形式主义，还对观众产生脑残式的影响。
