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.
讲欲望和孤独吧，不想“一个人”，和“不想”一个人。
要么好好日，或者有点情节，演的又拙，也没故事…陈以文怎么哪都有他
以艺术片衡量，具备可看性，但缺少故事内核的升华
惊悚片，编剧不错，但是让我感到旅游还能行吗？
木偶们在费力地表演，牵线的人却走了神，角色之间貌合神离，互不相干。拆分成几个短片来看尚可，作为一个长篇故事，完全不及格。
连陈以文和纳豆都来客串啦!!!
剧情还算能自恰但是细节太扯了，克罗地亚警察完全不查案吗直接被剧情牵着鼻子走
就很网飞 很生硬的反转再反转 前面铺垫太多 后面叙事就很赶
好仓促的结尾 好久没见的queen b 应该接个更好的剧本 而不是全场哭戏
最大bug 为什么说监控视频里的是警察？警察的死亡，女主是不是要担责任？
第一次见温贞菱演这样的角色还真是不适应呢!
故事不复杂，但是我确实没猜到... 为什么queen b现在状态比s差了那么多....
「寂寞的時候會想要寫一首歌給你，想你現在會不會也有一點孤寂。」
。。这纪录片吗，相遇到最后没有一点变化还是这样。。话说的尺度也就这样啊。。从叙事文到议论文真的很难。。
老房子,破败,画展,觥筹交错,
到最后我也没分清楚两个女主，然后这个故事真的又俗气，拍的又做作。
这本子就是弱爆！开场3分钟锁定嫌犯，本剧中出现的男人都是自带诡异buff，没一个正经人！剧情可谓漏洞百出，以及queen b虽然演技依然在线，但是这个角色不是很适合她，感觉就是用力的演，气势全无，有点浪费女演员。
讲案件还是有很多漏洞的 最后伦敦大草坪秒拉回记忆 度假目的地景色不错 split 克罗地亚
没看过走到尽头和破局，但是光看这部还是蛮好看的，毕竟剧本扎实
《走到尽头》法国版，也是《走到尽头》的第二次翻拍，香港大陆合拍的是《破局》。
