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.
相较于前半段对于女主身份人物关系和悬疑氛围的营造 后半段完全由冲突和恐惧支配的剧情显得有点草率了 时代感特别强
这种标准冲奥传记片，还是关于好莱坞自己之前那些破事的，我真的看腻了，索金现在是不是越来越执着于奥斯卡了，连着来导演，剧本打磨都没有以前好了，机关枪台词加几个倒叙，也不新鲜了啊。妮可表演不喜欢，但还是看出来不错，巴登和西蒙斯这奥提真就没啥必要了
一个超级女杀手的模样，实际只是一个普通人，但也幸运地反杀成功，情节没看点，智能语音的聪明程度比车载语音还笨，女主是个黑人混血儿。
终究是美国人的一段历史，就跟我们说射雕英雄传一样，美国人也会觉得无感。
索金的剧本依然犀利 可拍摄手法太过于工匠 穿插回忆和现实的两条线处理很一般 Lucy Ball的故事在老美应该更为熟悉 两位主演的表演可圈可点 妮可基德曼真的应该少打点针 脸好僵
心理障碍拍的很潦草 最后一顿反杀来的莫名其妙
短评区内有一位朋友总结的极其到位：男人为了拯救生意和女人，他成功了；女人为了拯救内容和婚姻，她失败了。当Lucy拿出两张手帕时，生活和喜剧的联接被彻底打破，无法再认真对待感情，此后只剩表演。整体制作精良，但在妮可的表演下显得不那么重要了~
理想主义的女人和他擅长危机公关的老公鸡糟的一周 就挺无聊的
i love the ending how important is the word home for lucy ps.男主和男配的提名真的水的可以
摄影棚之突发状况的一周，看过发现想拍好一部情景剧并且成功的剧集并没有那么容易，电影最后着力点还是有些浅，妮可还是贡献了很好的演出，但电影本身而言就中规中矩
5. B站，为爱发电
之前觉得艾伦·索金的剧本里的对话是他身为剧作家最值得夸耀的地方，可是在这电影里只觉得这一大段一大段的对话从演员嘴里背出来都会烫嘴。
太自我，太认真一直很优秀的女人，婚姻于她只不过是个装饰物，什么相濡以沫，宠妻狂魔，在她眼里，出轨便是可抵掉一切对她的好。妮可基德曼在本片里还原了旧荷里活时代女演员露西和丈夫德西在面对人生最大危机的一周的情绪。男人想到的是拯救妻子和事业，妻子为了她的无法容忍丈夫的出轨亲手葬送了她的婚姻。
妮可女主提名还是很有说服力的，其他的提名没啥很强的说服力，只能说看着还行不够亮眼。。。剧本嘛还行吧
化妆真的堪比特效，返老还童了（in a good way)
Javier真的太帅了，don't mess with Cuban，最后直接打给Hoover护妻也是OMG！但是还是败给男人的天性，Nicole演技太棒，感觉这个戏把他两都拍的好年轻，磨皮十级的感觉；虽说夫妻两的关系本身就有点问题。但整个电影看上去还是乱糟糟的，让人搞不清楚到底在探讨夫妻关系，还是艺术家对于演艺细节的执着，抑或是另一部女性主导女性心理片
P.S3：跟着我一起喊：Stop the sweep！Stop the sweep！Stop the sweep！Stop the sweep！Stop the sweep！Stop the sweep！Stop the sweep！Stop the sweep！Stop the sweep！
纪录片的方式，追述一段冷战时代广播秀的往事。
没有大家说的那么差 我到最后还是看哭了 不知道是不是因为喝酒了 我为Nicole忘词的那一瞬间落泪了
世界上还有比这长的更像妮可基德曼的吗？结果是整容过度变老后的妮可。
