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.
Queen B 的电影真的是没有一部好看的😅
大奥米最近怎么都是一个人演电影，是演技太好了吗，这种类型电影都找她，我已经看了她这样的电影两部了，也没厌。
致命Bug：两个人体型明明差那么多，海边监控那么清楚居然没有人能分辨出那不是坏警察而是渣男丈夫。塑造真实且可恶的男性形象倒上了点心。其他也没什么亮点，电视剧级别摄影。
也不要乱喝酒
逻辑太弱了，为了悬念而悬念，海边监控居然还能认错人么？
渣男本想骗妻子，结果失手杀渣女。
看过gossip girl 之后，看什么都是queen b
虽然荒诞但是不无道理，父母都望孩子成龙成凤
看了一半劝退了，剧情过于平淡，奔着风暴和求生来的，结果是女主拖着一个神志不清的二货翻山越岭淌小河。
不同于一般的冒险题材，这是女主和男主的自我救赎之旅，暴风雪只是引子，不过看点不多，剧情比较简单。
浮躁的社会和人心，需要静下心来，细腻温和的电影
一个美式脑残型救援、励志蠢片。无以复加、难以言喻的各种别扭。
一杯白开水，5分钟就可以喝完了，真不用一个半小时。
一个独自营救的故事，印象深刻的是1.冷，2.一个经历冻、摔、淹依旧大难不死的男主
跟以前看过的法国片相比 的确剧情比较平庸 可以不看哈哈哈哈
我最佩服的是男主掉冰水里被冲走都能活下去，女主意志力强大，但男主生命力才是更强大
也许只有过极致的绝望，才能体会到电影里那种苟活于世的痛苦，陷入无法自拔的自我惩罚，然后便是无尽的深渊
反转都在意料之内，凶手也太好猜测了，此类片子越是凶神恶煞的角色，越不是凶手，只是干扰观众的棋子，俗招用烂了，观众也变聪明了，反而这种耍小招的电影怎么看都傻里傻气。★☆
和Blake Lively几年前那部A Simple Favor放一起看很有趣，都是悬疑，都是闺蜜失踪……相比较之下，S那部就还是雌竞塑料姐妹叙事，这部则选择了显然更woke更女权的叙事，男人都恶心，唯一的好男是叙利亚难民……看完一查果然是女导演呢…
感觉剧本只有大纲 没有任何细节设计 后面追逐对决的部分像小鬼当家
