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.
这个系列仅有的价值就是风格、调度和炫卡司，所以还是别拍了吧。
后面打算二刷一下，确定一些细节，目前感觉推理上有好几个点存在大bug，希望二刷之后能提高星数，个人心里还是很喜欢这样的片子的。
来酒店的人们，都戴着假面，这里绝对不仅仅是是一个华美的地方，酒店员工为了让客人享受到幸福的时光，一直都在守护着大家的假面；
当个放松小品看看还是蛮好的，至少不会想退票（。Nov 2021@Emproer Central
披着推理剧外衣的偶像剧：镜头只要一过木村拓哉就讲究得精美无死角。破案过程象闹着玩，但时时处处维护的，雕琢般的仪式感，形成特有文化气质，看着值得玩味。
這部被裁剪得如舞會禮服般華麗，比上一部精彩一些，但這個信息量拍成劇更合適吧。。。結尾竟然呼應前作，這次我看出拓麻的CP感了。戴著面具推開旋轉門的木村拓哉帥死我了，上一部這一Part的紅裙麻醬也絕美。PS：本科不愉快上課回憶依舊Flashback。
正戏和镜头运动全用在大厅了，舞会和破案就只剩下装腔作势。
女武神流畅过瘾的打戏是我觉得近几年漫威的电影里最出色的近战戏。冷兵器的挥舞既饱含打击感，又不失女性的优雅魅力。上次在漫威电影里遇到让我重看好几次的打戏还是《雷神3》的海拉
虽然长得越来越像王志文，索性演技还是杠杠的，但这部片子不怎么样~
2.5⭐，中间差点给我看睡着了扣半⭐
假面饭店原班人马回归出演，重复场景和人物关系下如何能拍出新意？首先，主题升华，假面饭店的宗旨是相信客人（他人），警察的目标是怀疑客人，两波相互矛盾的人制造冲突，身为核心的木村拓哉和长泽雅美最终理解对方，木村变得能理解他人，长泽不仅开始怀疑客人甚至能去拒绝别人。其次，尽可能复杂化谜题（虽然也没复杂到哪里去），多设置一些烟雾弹和铺垫。这样做依然不能掩盖电影的颓势，过度包装的角色而非剧情成了电影的最大亮点。问题：凶犯如何被举报人发现真实姓名？照理说只是拍到脸而已。
有种DC粉丝来漫威当导演的感觉……可能漫威和赵想要做出一部漫威版的《守望者》，实际情况则是模仿着别人的动作打出了一个耗时巨长的哈欠。难道只能期待蜘蛛侠了吗？
在个性散放、标榜自我的今天，服务行业从业人员应该如何自处，自我尊严和专业水准的边界在哪里？当然，看了电影，也没有答案。人家就不讨论这个呀。
和上一部同感：不管怎样，再次拥有了能盯着木村拓哉和长泽雅美两小时的机会，这就够了
masami：对于客人的要求不能说做不到
和第一部差不太多，推理…就不说了，懂的都懂，当做娱乐片来看吧！
片头跳探戈的长泽雅美是近几年最美的长泽雅美。木村哉拓饰演警察时颇有当年华仔的气质。酒店的布景和全篇的摄影以及运镜让人有沉浸式的度假感，有《布达佩斯大饭店》的感觉。另外，片尾以中世纪油画形式再现影片中的经典场景，艺术性又上了一个台阶啊
被“zz正确”裹挟的好莱坞，漫威突击投其所好，10个超级英雄，10个族裔背景，走马观花地群像塑造，没有一个留下深刻印象。漫威全盘布局的模式是以牺牲导演个人特色为前提，使之成为工业化流水线产品。漫威的控制欲和导演的掌控力注定无法复刻《沙丘》这样的成功案例，双方的妥协只能带来一个不协调的作品，像是扎导院线版《正义联盟》。
牛逼的调度 每个画面的信息量都巨大且纷繁 快跟不上的我逐渐困了…😂 手表的梗设计的很精致 但最终锁定凶手和他的动机 抱歉真的跟不上了
又臭又长。建议第三部：凶手“请你们帮我杀个人”，服务员“只要是客人要求，我们一定办得到！”
