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.
正常冒险电影，图一乐呵，皮特的演出真的是效果满满。不过男女主的演出一般。
作为喜剧，搞笑就行，没必要多深刻，所以最后落笔到荷尔蒙激发的“爱情”，告别去世多年的前任，迎接新生活，也是可以接受的。很多场景因为反差而好笑，而且有些反差萌。
哈利这么蠢，皮特他真的谢。爆米花的节奏不错，没让人快进就成功了。
"I am a woman, I can't mansplain anything" "I'm a feminist, and I believe a woman can do anything a man can do" 全片笑点都在这一句了，我手上的排骨都被笑飞了
拿来混时间是不错的，布拉德皮特客串可是真客串
完全冲着丹尼尔去看的，中间看困好几次，插科打诨也没啥意思，而且我真的get不到桑姐，男主虽然傻白甜了点，但是很清醒，勇于说自己是feminist，好评~
爆米花电影，看着玩吧，就是惊讶于桑德拉布洛克这么大年纪了，还能出演这种角色，也没有特别违和。哈哈
还是皮特的部分有意思 整体比较cliche
这片比神秘海域还差了三个档次，神秘海域至少有特效有打斗
很久没看这种纯纯的低级搞笑片了，看完第二天就把内容忘了个精光。ddl的时候给自己放个假也挺好的，喜剧片就不要追求内涵了。
女主很可爱也很呆萌，汤姆克鲁斯出场还是很不错的。就当一个下饭喜剧片看看还是可以的
5分。好久不见好莱坞第一帅哥皮特了。动作（基本没有）冒险（也不太多）喜剧（笑点较少）爱情（过于凑合）电影。果然是言情小说家会遇到的冒险，没有复杂的密码，没有刺激的迷宫，没有激烈的打斗，和平时不待见的男同事勇闯天涯了一把，然后就爱上了他。不要问反派怎么失败的，单身狗怎么可能战胜热恋中的情侣？何况还有帅哥皮特的助攻。虽然不讲逻辑道理，但脑袋开花后又奇迹复活实在是有点硬来了。不过，没花钱看到查宁的屁股，就不应有太多怨言。
虽然很typical，但是让帅哥美女演傻逼真的很好笑，这部的查宁就是瞒天过海美人计的安妮海瑟薇。
所有人都好像心不在焉的推进着主线，是我的笑点。
开始好笑的地方还挺多的~后面就陷入一般化了~有一说一，宝藏最后是贝壳这个……虽说很精神化，但总感觉有点令人失望~
终于不是老男配少女的传统组合套路了，Sandy姐牛掰。但是电影真的不行。
基本就是把romancing the stone照搬了一遍，还没80年代的好玩。但我是sandy脑残粉
真的不太好笑，迷失之城和宝藏部分又如此缺乏想象力，正反派都没有魅力，唯一好看的也就是那个屁股了
探险真是永恒的题材，皮特打酱油是万万没想到
最大亮点竟然是借女性视角对男性body shame、刻板印象以此反讽男性？！
