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.

什么玩意儿啊？！传统美国黑帮意大利帮派电影里，硬生生安插黑人进去是什么操作？
竟然也看过......whats happening........毫无印象.......................
把维拉弄得这么难看，我也真是恼火，故事剧情没头没尾的…啥也不是
烂片体验卡+1
《黑道家族》的男主角扮演者詹姆斯甘多菲尼在剧集结束七年后因病去世，非常令人遗憾，在本片中扮演东尼小时候的演员正是他的儿子迈克尔甘多菲尼，我觉得这就是对他最好的纪念了，说不定正因为迈克尔甘多菲尼也像父亲一样走上了演员的道路才促成了本片的拍摄呢。
救赎的主题，好莱坞可谓是百拍不厌，这一次要不是看演员表，我都没认出女主是Naomi Watts，她因为煤气造成泄漏两个女儿的死亡，而通过上山救援为自己赎罪，在救赎别人的同时也完成了自我救赎，导演通过“灾难片”这个类型外壳，表达了一个简单的主题，无甚新意但也不难看吧，毕竟雪山的困境在镜头前被展现的蛮真实。
整部电影就如同标题里Many-Multi/Sanits-Santi这个自以为是的文字游戏一样无聊；同时尽管我对近年来美国影视作品里的政治正确现象基本持理解态度，但还是不明白为什么在这部《黑道家族》前传里要加入大量且基本无意义的民权运动内容。本作之于《黑》比《续命之徒》之于《绝命毒师》还要糟糕。
黑社会题材都能拍出伟光黑 不愧是大阿美利加
纯粹因为情怀看的，电影本身仿佛一集零散的电视剧
总之，最后的结局圆的不是太好。
电影的叙述线主要有两条，一条是小说家津田在一家酒吧做酒保，于是这个酒吧就自然地成为了他与编辑见面的场所，他请编辑在这里阅读自己新写的小说，探讨剧情，在这个过程中编辑越来越觉得他写的内容并非虚构，而是真事，为了不给出版社带来麻烦而不得已到现实中进行印证，毕竟这个作家有“前科”，因为上一部小说里面使用了真名真事而让出版社吃了官司。另一条线则是伴随着叙述而将小说中的故事逐渐展现出来。
过去的就让他过去，哪有什么前传？make me sick
影片基调，音乐，人物刻画都蛮好，剧情清爽，不拖泥带水，杀人也脆一蹦即死，主角杀爹和情妇，这个情节太狗血了。
小成本，戏很简单，剪辑一般，节奏缓慢。人物性格模糊，行为合理性存疑。
看前有多期待 看后就有多失望 完全不知道咋干什么
真的很好看，神作，全程无尿点，要留意每一个细节，很棒，牛
可惜了那三千万啊！片子一般，有点刻意的悬疑。不过那个老婆和出轨对象都死了吧？
拍的很是平淡，剧情散落，节奏感不好，有点浪费了卡司。
