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.
本片讲述了宅不出户的女主角把害她的男人全杀了，不仅心情好了，社交恐惧症都好了的治愈之路。女性只要舍得伤害男人就能摆脱抑郁症。
就是每个人都扮演一下主角就好，脸来回切换，看得太乱，那个流浪者也是被整得没脾气了！
索德伯格玩票性质的伪疫情题材电影，最后玩成小鬼当家了。佐伊的肢体语言好可爱，更期待她的猫女了！
豆瓣分打的有点偏低了，我看了觉得还可以，女主演技在线，内容也很前卫紧凑，最后的一杀三，虽然不可思议，但也算大快人心。还是正义得到伸张，核心价值观没毛病。哈哈。
还算流畅，线索都有安排到。这电影是不是还是用苹果手机拍的啊……
十佳候选。索德伯格真是在创作高峰期呀，高飞鸟和KIMI异曲同工，取当代生活一个切面，非常真诚地塑造普通人中的英雄，剧本、表演、镜头语言样样不落，very underrated.
短小精干痛快过瘾~女主演技可真是到位啊~把个心理障碍演神了~第一眼侧颜还以为是龙妈~最后不得不感慨肥宅男不容易的就算是挨一刀还是改变不了什么哈哈哈~
我也不知道为啥，八成是因为我的刻板偏见，这女主上来就让我讨厌，甚至到最后被恶人抓住时我也讨厌。影片节奏比较慢，前面30分钟与主线的犯罪故事关系不大，都在介绍女主的人群社交恐惧症，展现女孩怕出门+KIMI的智能化，智能化这部分和同步的另一部影片《支离破碎》相同，都是人工智能系统帮助主人对抗闯进家里的坏人。不过我还是更喜欢《支离破碎》，因为佐伊的容貌比《支》的两位女主差远了，而且关键是这个犯罪故事有点确实稍显无聊！我给3星6.3分，删掉了！
导演的镜头语言非常非常棒，但是剧本实在是太拉了。后窗，坏老板，钉枪少女反杀，这些真的完全没有一丁点必要，绝对的狗尾续貂。
缩水版黑镜，普通的创意，普通的剧本，连反转都普通地那么普通...
女主工作量过于随意哈，竟然没“指标”😄虽然心理障碍出不了门也一定要坚持锻炼，这样坏人来家了也有行动力反击👍结尾女主的发色好好看，酷粉🎀
（瘫坐在床脚的那一段 视觉化了共情的痛苦 很遗憾身体上的表现没有能够一起展示
保持锻炼，才能比别人跑得更快，动作更敏捷，思维更清晰，最终实现完胜
不知從何說起⋯ 我100%為了zoe kravitz看的這部片子⋯ 但依然不明白這個導演是怎麼說服各路清高藝人去演他那些並不well executed的電影的🙂 細節loose ends 都不tie 張力幾乎沒有 還有這些莫名弱雞的hitmen是怎麼回事啊 brad一開始的conflict的故事線也完全沒講清楚或給予任何significance 或者最後說到底連social commentary都弱爆惹 更不要說配角全是紙片角色 hbo you are better than this 說到之後決定把三星改成兩星
前面是高科技的互动，听到了一段犯罪录音，后面是匪徒追击女主被抓住，在被女主成功反杀。。。
2星➕一星因为提醒了我牙齿烂了要及时看医生😥
cool感十足 蓝转粉
杀手无用，宅男也太工具人了，剧情属实过于平淡，最后的反杀也很无聊
索德伯格这部是随便拍拍玩的吗，感觉剧本很简单很扯
虽然有点儿烂尾，但也算是这两年来看的比较投入的一部
