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.
这么多旁白加上这个简简单单的小格局故事，还不如写成短篇小说，拍成这样蛮无聊的；女主角每次唱歌的时候以为是要再续《马戏之王》的前缘了；“some妞a妞”吴彦祖虽然没啥戏份，但是这个中英文混搭笑死。
有些地方不合理，总体还是符合悬疑剧的特点，能吸引我一直看下去，不枯燥
丽贝卡弗格森的气质是如此的神秘优雅，她在片中的存在感远大于休杰克曼。
They are not so couple-looking.
（中英夹杂：无论中、英什么占比，都很装屄）
在稀烂动作戏的空档里通过一闪而过的<精武英雄>来Q袁八爷；或许为时已晚。
1、前作剧情忘得干干净净，再看这部属于看了个寂寞，就讲了尼奥如何拯救崔妮蒂？2、二十年前的特效是惊艳，现在看已经有些过时了，自毁经典的事还是咱别做了吧。
诺兰时代的“追忆迷局”，宣告了一种叙事模式、包装策略与概念文本的全面谢幕。
不是所有人都渴望控制，就像不是所有人都渴望自由。B-
全是熟人啊卧槽 连jonas都在哈哈 bug梗笑死
几乎一致的故事脉络吊打哑巴寻妻记（没错就是《Mute》）。可好莱坞怎么还是沉浸在这种宏大背景下的普通情爱故事？情节和人设走向毫无新奇之处，丝毫没有被你们的爱情打动啊亲。不过末世海景+复古爵士的视效和两位出色的女主真的大饱眼福。同意短评男主更适合基努，已经代入Constantine脑补了，休叔完全不适合谈情说爱。
IMAX@嘉禾mega box 有优秀的设定和背景，有上乘的布景和拍摄，却拍出了个这么水的故事，实属暴殄天物。人物动机格局之小，没有任何亮点的故事线，为了推进剧情不顾引入巨量的bug，这几点实在没有办法不吐槽。/那种Chinglish我以为只会出现在梗里面。
清晰版重看一遍，大幅改观。不是原作的神话续篇，是脱离神话叙事的，一首狂诗曲性质的DLC，饱含Lana个人主张与私货，延续Sense8和Matrix双重美学的同人大团建。
【1】看第一幕的时候我在想：也太难看了吧，结果第二、三幕的难看程度又超出我预期。不是在讨论虚实了，更像以纯粹虚假的姿态展开粗暴思辨。但曾经已精准模拟当下，所谓的与时俱进恰恰是失败所在，我们不再需要一次折返，甚至抛舍掉可贵的意趣，或许Meta-Film已沦为过时概念？
谁能想到呢，这么多年后黑客帝国又出了个4。我还记得当年电影杂志里的剧照。我真是……不知道该给几星，3星以上4星以下。犹如当年看了《还珠格格3》多年后才理解生活就是那样，残酷。可能有思想准备，没觉得那么差，但肯定是格局小了，很多前几部的闪回，人也老了，犹如基努·里维斯自己的生活，颓丧后再站起。后悔小时候看不上这种题材电影根本没去看，多年后才知道成了经典。前年北影节抢不到三连只补了部2，本以为4上映时也会有类似活动可惜没有。片尾绿色字幕犹如老式286台式机编程的界面。最后最后有一个彩蛋嘲笑了下短视频猫猫帝国。今天华星感觉超棒，先是值班经理留了海报，入场时检票小哥又拿了一堆新春票纸给我！仿佛回到小时候的华星。北京今冬第二场雪。with肉。2D华星UME2号IMAX厅20:10场，一共约8个人。
情怀作品 有点物是人非的感觉 而且在元宇宙概念出现的如今 作品中构建的世界相当耐人寻味 顺带吐槽了发展过快的数字媒介和社交媒体对于传统文化载体的冲击 虽然无力 但是意味深长
这拍的什么啊，同人？番外？炒冷饭都炒得这么不上心，也真是服了
廉颇老矣 身形散的打戏打得摇摇晃晃 封神系列就let it go何必重启
好不好看就看一个预期差，如果都做好了狗尾续貂的准备就会觉得好像也没那么垃圾！尤其是片子里竟然意外有许多女性主义元素，整1个大惊喜啊！我是真的想要结婚还是程序让我想结婚；竟然用孩子控制我；女人以前很好控制的。沃卓斯基姐妹可以的！
对世界挽留的刻画有点真实，大概来自导演的嗑药体验。本来以为会对被极右搞臭了的概念做点更新，也没看到。
