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.
要是不硬蹭第一部的热度起码还能有个及格分吧，这片子真的看的人有点失语，特别是男主写信说“我永远不会离开你们，我永远在你们身边。”，结果人没了，所有的事情还不是一个寡妇自己抗？房子都卖了，还欠着高利贷的钱，孩子做完手术养病还得一大笔钱，那么让鬼魂照顾儿子，老婆出去打工还债？还是老婆照顾儿子，鬼魂出去打工?..
制造了有毒杀菌剂的企业和颁发安全认证的国家都认为自己没有责任，那么有错的只能是我，我才是那个杀人犯，我杀死了我的孩子和妻子。
前面看着确实有点平淡无奇 后面十分钟才感觉进入了重点
略微打了个社会议题的擦边球，还是靠强煽情而来
看完这狗屁不通、处处槽点的电影，可以说陈思诚是华语电影四害之首了。
过度的戏剧化和煽动性将影片的现实意义消解殆尽。宋洋的表演很糟糕。还有，一开始说小孩的心脏太大了，现在给他的就不大了是吗？
当年出这个新闻的时候替患者们悲伤。这个年代无良的人无法无天，战争。。药害。。悲剧在无数的角落天天上演。个人的物质私欲无限膨胀不断蛊惑
故事是好故事，但拍的一般
也给我们观众带来一些提醒吧
法外狂徒一样的记者，半天就斯德哥尔摩综合征病发无一人逃跑的人质，真假枪开没开都看不出的无能警察，再加上一个纯送的反派市长，典型的幼稚病发的创作者为了满足自己对反强权的幻梦而瞎编的作品；更何况一方面要在个架空的外国华人区的背景上演，一方面为了捞钱又搞货不对板的续集标题党，属实是双重讽刺了
还有男主真的很自信是被爆头，不怕人家射击心脏嘛？
看到了工业化，反而没看到故事。人物脸谱，剧情简单，批量生产的10后港片质感。
当片子质量出了问题，就会有人来找属于和不属于本片失败的地方来攻击。就事论事：反转刻意，逻辑牵强，bug明显，如成年人心脏尺寸、文咏珊要独自还钱、隔着一栋楼N间房听铃声还能听声辨位顺藤摸瓜、贪腐人员不锁屏、精致利己主义记者or高傲主播一秒变身女特工再变身正义愤青。陈年问题：不能说阶级对立、贫富差距、社保商业问题那就只说贪官以权谋私，不能反映当代社会和谐大美就把说各种口音的华人全拉东南亚去，怕卖不好就各种蹭热度欺骗营销即使毁掉自家招牌。故事主题是蝼蚁反击猛兽，但全片蝼蚁更多在自我感动，围观的蚂蚱如我，感受到的不是屈辱后的不平，更多是这是个热闹我就看看。逻辑链太潦草，男主视角的推理线不及格。最失败的地方在于情感，没有了美版的铺垫/女主和孩子表演差强人意，这个家庭遭遇的灭顶之灾不够心碎，强行煽情。
可能是对误杀2一开始就抱有误解，以为是悬疑片，结果是家庭温情剧，剧情老套，朋友一次次猜中结局，我还满怀期待的说：不，肯定不会这么简单。结果还真就这么简单？？？？我？？？？然后……李治廷浮夸的演技让本来就入戏不是很深的我在电影院笑出了声，一分给我华哥
现在想搞一个误杀翻拍宇宙？
1.5 一直这么拍算不算乳泰？各种假 那主播演技也不行 大陆不太适合拍黑暗点的背景 最终都会强行升华光伟正 陈思诚这么玩算不算商业欺诈了？吐
导演你没事吧？好好的题材拍得烂成这样也是牛。
从《误杀》到《误杀2》，从《Sheep without a shepserd》到《Fireflies in the sun》，萤火虫闪着微光飞了一圈后终于落在男主的手上逐渐失去光亮，正如男主的生命一样。剧情的节奏和铺垫做的很好，始终像一根线一样牵动着观众的情绪，埋藏了很多的伏笔。在“父爱”主题的延展背后，展现出来的是绝境之下的深层人性，极具社会现实性。
肖央的角色质感真好，细节和眼神让人信服入戏，恍惚中有一丝宋康昊的既视感。任达华出场那种香港老电影的气场依然。故事刚开始的无助感很强，前期积累的压抑让人对主角他们的困境逐渐共情，期待他们绝处逢生，之后一次次反转，是一种困兽犹斗的决绝悲壮，观影体验很好，内心只希望林日朗能够成功。逼着好人“犯罪”，到底什么才是真的恶？
