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.
猛男与狗子的公路电影🎦
还不错。吉伦哈尔演技真是越来越好了，基本是他一人的独角戏，不容易。@TIFF2021
一起复习的朋友推荐的，真的好好看!特别喜欢屋子的格局!
人道主义、充分尊重个体、动物保护主义，只在灯塔国。
狗狗+老兵公路片，没刻意煽情，很温暖治愈的故事，喜欢
即使故事缺乏惊喜，也有一种极为平庸的发展，但会很感激一旦坐定就可从中享受到的陪伴- -是温暖的，也是可爱的。
前面部分拍得故意突显女主的怀疑依据不足，让观众对她产生同样冷漠的观感，这结局才有一点点效果。但是对面那人真是连环杀手的设定也同样俗套了，本可以走心理惊悚困局路线
中文名取得不对。是狗和中年退伍军人的相互救赎的公路电影。
6分！男主很帅啊！故事情节很简单，型男配猎犬很不错的搭档。男主曾在战场遭受严重的创伤后遗症，从身上的枪伤到随时会发作的偏头痛、癫痫，作为退伍军人并没有得到可靠的保障，没有稳定的工作，生活一团糟。狗狗很聪明，很有个性，在跟男主的相处过程中，从狂暴到驯服，一人一狗各自疗伤，可怜的狗子因为过于忠诚，自主人去世后，变成了部队中的一条无人问津的“疯狗”，没有人愿意驯养她，完成最后一项任务后，即便她曾战功赫赫，最后的归宿只能是光荣“退役”。男主想放它离开，可是它已经接纳了这个陪伴了一路的新主人，并与之结下了深厚的感情。好在结局皆大欢喜，男主的申请通过，合法领养了露露，他自己的家庭危机也出现了转机。
曾经有过自己的狗狗～冠自己的姓，正式起名字，而不是只叫汪汪辣么随意……虽然仅有短短一段时间，但多少次梦里都会有它～于是也更看这样的片子被催泪，更何况男主的壮硕，绝对非娘气那种，受战争的伤看着心疼。

一人一狗的自我救赎之旅！我们这些没有经历过战争的人，永远也无法理解战争带来的伤害，不管是人类，还是狗狗，他们都付出了太多，也只有他们自己才能实现自我救赎！
Channing Tatum真的很壮 狗子更壮他甚至都拉不住 seek seek开始我就在瞎哭了🥹 看狗嘛其他都可以忽略 还有Bill Burr本色出演
露露是去了第一个爱她的人 获得了一个接受又爱她的人
比我想象中要好很多，毕竟这可是一只狗狗和瘦下来的钱老板啊
——知道怎么打分了吧？
3.5。剧情简单，但是人与狗之间的永恒感情不会停下感动的步伐
狗子演得好。情节有点乱。吃霸王餐吃到开眼倒是挺搞笑的。
观看的蓝光原盘，视听效果一流，但剧情比较平，虽然看起来不累，但也没什么惊喜，属于爱狗人士的菜。
因为是翻拍所以就低分吗？情节，表演，节奏都很棒！
