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.
一直都不是马粉，看这部电影时从开始对他讨厌到后面改头换面般的讨喜，也证明了演员的实力，至于是否相信里面神迹和救赎都是很个人的，我只知道会看这部电影也是冥冥中对处于当下迷惘的自己送的一碗鸡汤…
景色不错，人与大自然对抗太难，还弄死了唯一的朋友狗
以为会有奇迹发生；如同电影里的台词，I don’t understand him, but I admire him
麦当娜现在叫lady gaga哈哈哈哈哈哈哈老梗，想像女主一样自信

非常流水账，基本都是有惊无险的操作，要不是一开始提示真实事件改编都以为是主角光环了，剧情拖沓，不吸引人。而且某种程度上说他们虽然看到的是残骸，但是他们也一直有弹药和食物。三角关系的部分何必呢，看完真心感叹可怜了那些狗

为什么分这么低？开篇以为又是一部讲拳击的搏击片儿，慢慢慢慢在不知不觉中我被拖下了水，后面就泪目了，估计这就是神和美国人民信仰的力量吧……
真人故事改编总能赋予影片更多意义，对未知世界的探索总是能引起人的欲望，想起海洋之心里面对大海的探索，此片对大陆的探索，还有现在人们对太空宇宙的探索，另一方便，极端环境下人的渺小，软弱也是不言而喻，这类片子算是一种激励吧
其实不配三星，但前半部分我居然看到了一些老青春片的样子。
一开始的情景以为是倒叙，其实是故事前段没交代完全。
近几年好莱坞主流导演都偏爱拍这种有真实人物背景的改编电影，再片尾插入真实人物声音和影像的手法也司空见惯了。核心主题还是吉布森最擅长的宗教，肯定是扶自己女友上马走一程。沃尔伯格的演技突破很大，预计能有个男主的奥提。
我本来以为是穿越片，但是竟然不是？？而且剧情比我预想中要好得多！我唯一的一点疑问是，女主到底是不是被她的死对头陷害才摔伤的！！？
我猜大部分人应该是冲着37岁身体17岁灵魂这个设定才看的这片，虽然不新鲜，但想来应该有趣。但恰恰，成片只是稍微碰了一下这个设定，就立即转为了非常普通套路的青春校园片，这，就很尴尬。再加上女主的形象实在不符东方审美，这将近2小时的观影体验就显得比较煎熬，嗯。
这个世界足够大，有很大的空间让你去展示自己，be the one。
