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.
配乐棒，然后发现是坂本龙一做的。服了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈。
【3】联想到了罗泓轸的《黄海》，也是委屈的男人跑啊跑，同时主角战斗力也都比较高(不然不好走剧情)。
全靠哈登的演技和坂本龙一的配乐看完，把漂亮国又讽刺了一遍。只是很不明白，一帮憨憨为什么不在哈登撞破房子时就干掉他或者让他自生自灭，反而送医院后还拼命追杀他？ 哈登返回现场才触发任务吗？wtf
美国情侣在希腊发生车祸却意外卷入了一场政治绑架。前戏略长，紧张感还是不错的，男主光环太猛烈，可以一看。★★★☆
一部漏洞多到不知從何說起的電影，本地警察全員出動+大使館特工搞不定一個沒有戰鬥力、受了槍傷而且逃了好幾天的傷員，這不是驚悚片，這分明是超級英雄電影xx俠in Greece......男主的演技自tenet之後再次震驚到我了（貶義的）。兩顆星給的大多數是取景，山谷裡和雅典城區都拍得美
黑命贵加外国逃亡公路片 连着美国使馆一起黑 剪辑比较差 剧情有bug 导演氛围构建的还不错 整体很一般
导演选角不错，主演看起来没脑子果然整部剧也没脑子，非要后期强行支楞起来
无聊着就看完了，就是想看个结尾，原来哪有美国插手哪就乱
美国真的很喜欢个人英雄主义。。强行给反派降智太蠢了。那个女警察，要是你不犯傻，男主开片10分钟就能领盒饭
找领馆就够蠢了你还离开领馆送死 后面是怎么回事 一命抵一命？孤胆超英模式？呆梨人也有这么幼稚可爱的价值观吗？
john 不知道是不是刻意模仿他老豆 表情、语调语速如出一辙 感觉比较浅 +1星给编剧和配乐
可惜女主 这个男朋友居然开车睡着 哎 找男朋友不能找个靠谱的嘛
好莱坞编剧真心越来越垃圾。现在已经无所谓到从几层楼跳下精准砸中汽车并且毫发无伤爬起来继续打人的程度了。
普通人被卷进这种事里真是倒霉，想抢辆摩托车逃命都抢不到。还是把主角设定成退伍老兵、前特工之类的靠谱点，起码能占个爽字，最后单枪匹马把黑帮打手干掉了也显得没那么离谱。

這年頭想要超越當年波蘭斯基的"Frantic"還是很不容易的~
中间还行。片头和女友部分太长了。小黑开始两三次击败对方也不捡装备？可怜的当地老头。小黑一次次逃脱，主要原因还是对方也没大费周章。前半部分被追一直逃命还有点刺激的
电脑看卡，拿手机看也卡
好久好久沒看公路電影了，讓人忘了冒險歷程本身就已是娛樂十足，加上小成本的片子才好讓導演去嚐試一些不那麼討好主流的劇本吧…
看海报以为就是一般黑帮动作片，结果看片中处处惊喜：引人入胜的希腊自然风光，复古而高饱和的胶片感（华盛顿的肤色也太70年代了吧），情节虽好猜但看主角一路顺着风景逃亡然后再进入城市爬上爬下还是非常的燃。近期看过第二好的影片。
