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.
我们最大的敌人其实是我们自己。
那段Richard跟大威说小时候自己碰了白人的手，被他们胖揍一顿，可他一回头，自己的父亲已经跑了，我不是个完美的父亲，但我绝对会在任何时候站在我孩子的身后，去保护他们。就这一段，让前面的控制狂父亲一下子被人理解了。
不得不佩服这位父亲的毅力，当然我相信两姐妹的天赋也是很重要。
美国虎爸混搭美国摔跤手的父亲，不过理查德确实很牛，而且威尔·史密斯也很牛，至少这部戏里面，他演的比麦克白悲剧里面的丹泽尔·华盛顿好多了#2022奥斯卡阅片倒计时#
Venice, Santa Monica， LA的这些镜头无一不刺激着我的视觉和回忆，凤凰叔的阴郁是由内而外自带的，小男孩几乎看不出是在表演，叔侄的互动自然生动，全片略带沉重又透露着温柔，每一个情节每一句话每个看似奇怪的想法，都是构成我们日常生活，却被我们无视的碎片，显得朴素而真挚。
主要讲她们的爸爸，看起来是在专业人士面前不露怯，有长远目标的人。
美式鸡娃教育励志片，手法过于老套，表演也就史皇正常水准啊
也真的是受够了这套《摔跤吧爸爸》励志鸡汤成功学了。还不如干脆拍成第一名赢得比赛更加胜利得了。冗长乏味又"黑"又正确又打鸡血的电影怎么都看不腻的。快点把影D给史皇吧，我真的害怕他在传记电影里过度自我陶醉出不来，我真的受够鸡汤教育了。
3.5分，网球版的《摔跤吧爸爸》，你要做的事情已经做完了，现在该由她自己做出选择。幸好选择这样一个结局，不然真的挺无聊的。
现在的小孩子想法都这么成熟了吗？简直就是人生导师了～

【2.0】我不反感规矩传统的传记片讲法，但我抵触过度粉饰的传记片主人公，威尔·史密斯饰演的父亲是我所不相信的。这个角色的塑造太过狡猾，影片并不回避他的过错和负面情绪，但这些时刻的归因均被编剧施以了爱的绑架，这个角色的定位始终是作为父亲和丈夫的顶天立地的男人，唯独没有去掉标签的那个真正属于他自己的时刻。
像是一篇工整的满分高考作文，挑不出毛病，但又好像缺了点什么。威尔史密斯其实已经不需要去证明什么。
整体还不错的传记影片，相对于其它运动传记型题材，这部里面除了天赋，努力，更加偏向策略！从青年赛的呼声中休战，学习文化和修身养性，到没有迫不及待的签约，到赛场的策略性安排，处处充满了策略性放大成功效果的手法，这是这部影片中值得放大的部分！
美国版鸡娃励志题材。很难评价，理查德威廉姆斯其人的掌控欲，跟严格教育的重要性。大小威廉姆斯的现实例子在这里，成功总是叫人心服口服的“幸存者偏差认知”。
对所有狗爹拿女儿成功credit的故事不感兴趣。能不能好好搞个Serena Williams的故事啊！🙄️

父亲代表的父权或许才是好莱坞想要的，而女儿从一而终的顺从，也是他们想要的非裔/女性的顺从。
