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.
拆什么不好！非得拆经典？之所以称为经典，已经不是一般二般人能动的了。导演别在是个傻瓜吧？
三次看完，无聊至极，极其自恋，抛弃了人物塑造，悬念设置，和节奏，太无聊了。

比上部好一些，至少是及格了，群像有在拍，波洛前史也能起到串联作用，核心是基于爱情这个大前提，链条是完整的。另外，盖尔加朵cos埃及装束那段，看似闲笔，但其实是在调侃新版《埃及艳后》的多次难产，早早定下朵子大女主，结果愣是融不来资，李安维伦纽瓦都在这儿折过，算个也挺有趣的迷影梗。黑了肯布这么多年，这次反而觉得他有些可爱了。
这样的片子在院线序列里竟然只配三星么……我看的非常爽了。服化道美极，波洛探案的全员皆可疑预设也够有噱头，只不过事不过三，东方快车和尼罗河之后再玩一次就腻了。It's always all about money.
尴尬的翻拍,这个自导自演的导演是真不行...就吃人魔捂着膝盖那下,明显是假的...哪有中枪立刻盖上手帕的
故事支离破碎 角色莫名其妙 改编负面教材 收手吧阿肯
看电影的时候完全没想到啊……………………
莎婆的小说让故事立住了，但这版本的侦探显得有些软弱无用，最终的真相也省略了一些推理的过程。所幸良辰美景不虚设，盖尔加朵cosplay的埃及艳后也让人惊艳了一把。
我感觉这个片子垮就垮在加朵太贵了，愣是让她撑了一个小时才死
因为疫情无法出国拍摄，但特效也太廉价了点，卡司也弱，没有顶级大咖，两位女主平时看都是女神，可这片里怎么就没那么美了问号，服装化妆也极弱，这片本来是应该如一场T台大秀+大咖云集+异国风光的，结果搞成这样，LGBT的政治正确算是一次进步，但开场那段导演也太自恋了些，对比一下78版，哪哪都不行。看完这片，倒是勾起了再看82和78那两部的欲望，太太太经典了，建议有预算的女生直接照着这两部里面的裙子随便来一条就能亮瞎十条街
开头Bouc直接出场介绍每个人以及各自的嫌疑，让波洛在船上与各个角色交谈，让Linnet和各个角色的恩怨慢慢展开不好吗，这么懒？Linnet看见现任的ex当场崩溃，精明能干聪明勇敢以及可恨可爱的气质全无，这是认真的吗？！凶器一开始就出现，有毛病？选角都好差，演技更是全无，一家人说两家口音本来就够好笑了，只有Annette Bening一如既往演技在线。
尺度可以的。
我觉得肯尼斯拍这个系列更多是刻画人物群像，用更现代的视角解读经典，换句话说是重人物轻悬疑。
对爱情的理解庸俗，借用罗莎莉那句话“留点体面吧”。
真的还不错诶 打戏非常硬非常流畅 医院病房和公交车两场都非常好 期待有续集！肖三毛选角选得太好了 恨得我牙根痒痒 谢苗好帅呜呜呜
如果不能改的像英剧福尔摩斯那样实在没有必要重启
锤的口音这辈子改不掉了吧😂 痴情女演得蛮好～ 推理推了个寂寞 基本上故事一开始已经所有人都怀疑是奔着谋财害命去的了吧
後面反轉有點生硬。
非常平庸，该改的不改，不该改的乱加，根本不想知道波洛的情史和胡子的来历。推理部分睡过去一次。
