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.
无脑爆米花非常适合放松hhhhh 对质量没啥要求，只有一个不满，婆妈又体贴的男经纪人必须是gay好么？结尾让他跟化妆师hook up太尬了😓Wilson太伍迪艾伦范儿了，受不了酱婶儿的。以及，Silverman姐姐真可爱！
好老土的剧情，像二十年前才有的设定，但很好做梦。
2个小时 爆米花热血爱情电影还挺认真的 剧情 等等等等 好莱坞真是想象不到的有钱啊
3.5 虽然oldfashion但是看这谁要动脑子呢
节奏真的垃圾的一塌糊涂。
恐怖片也要给黑鬼出声是吧！草泥马的政治正确。
剧中曲个人只喜欢『on my way』和最后的ed『Nobody's watching』。
看到一半来评论的。
灰姑娘性转现代版～ 男主演员其实挺帅的啊！剧情有点像林志玲和黄渤演的一百零一次求婚… 我就好奇大明星如果不被渣男伤能看上老实人么？？？ 要是搞跨越阶级的爱情就来点不一样的，别搞得有钱男性好像都不忠，穷的男性唯一好的地方就是不出轨一样【which is totally not true】…不过get了jlo 的魅力！一开始在男主面前简直女神好吗！
娱乐圈是名利场还是圆梦堂？
AMC 也许因为Lopez和她片子里的前男友太好看（拉丁裔的靓女靓仔总是对我有特殊的吸引力），也许因为每首歌都非常好听，又或者性转版“霸道总裁包养（除了善良和朴实没有任何优点）的小白花”剧情非常带感，我竟然还挺享受这112分钟的电影。要说不足之处就是还不够狗血，编剧可以学习一下台湾古早言情小说各种桥段，让我看这个打破常规的性转版看得更爽一点。之前完全无法想象我会被预告片吸引去看这样的电影。回家立刻循环OST。
前有梦境仙女后有镜中仙女，还是个糖仙。人体真菌化看得多了，人体蜂巢化还是挺特别的，结尾蜂群围住头部显示出一种朦胧又诡异的面纱美感，果然虫子很蒂啊(cue奥伯龙)。正儿八经的续作，看到一半就猜到了男主角的身份，被蜜蜂盯了然后半边身子蜂巢化还被狂热粉丝强行断手插铁钩，真的很(人造)糖果侠/蜂人。结尾女主角的召唤也......挺有......意思的。都市传说这块做得还行吧，但总的来说探讨议题还是不如老版。
想到了天鹅绒圆锯。关于black community，影片采用了几个有意思的意向去表达，从大都市开往旧时贫民窟的晚班列车，集聚的蜂巢..从Jordan Peele开始，关于黑人群体的自我认知的影片这几年层出不穷，但其实没有几部表达出了那种认同感，反而在熟悉的近景大都市描绘里变得疏离
要是因为音乐好听，我也不会给及格分，大概就是5点几分片子吧，讲了一个我从小看到大的烂俗故事，剧情未免太平了吧...
这年头还敢上无脑甜片真的佩服Jlo的勇气，好莱坞这种片子这些年已经绝迹了都，家家都在走宇宙路线走A24的路线
不好看。明星和数学老师都“不像”，全程都能感到那种刻意地“演”，难以共情。一比较原先没觉那么好的《诺丁山》突然格外闪亮，忙去豆瓣原先打星处多加了一颗星。相较下，《诺丁山》里的人更像真正生活过的人，尽管也是都市童话。
老版够惊悚，新作只凌乱。
蜂巢的概念有点视觉冲击，杀人的方式有点匪夷所思。用艺术作为载体和叙述从中世纪到现在的黑人发展史，看得出想要表达的社会议题，只是都差点在台词上说出来了，这把社会议题影视化的举动实在有点受限。
唤起了中学时期狂看好莱坞爱情片的那些记忆。非常适合回家瘫在沙发上不动脑子看，虽然不用脑子看都知道起承转合大概都是什么情节，但也证明片子的类型公式走得不错。从影片的10分钟左右我发现欧文威尔逊长得非常像Donald Trump之后，我开始乐个不停。
这一版政治正确浓度太高，死道友不死贫道。种族议题味儿太冲，不行。
