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.
make up your mind：kill me or f*** me？
女神老了，虽然身材保养的好，但在高清镜头下眼袋是任何化妆技术都无法掩盖的，然后莫名其妙的感情戏完全拉低了全片格调，还不如老实拍成女版的john wick呢。
【2】透露着浓郁世纪初趣味的时装特工片，段落的生搬硬凑和调度的平庸都让本片仅剩那么一点情怀。
我承认我把电影下错了，本来要看刘德华版的门徒...
Samuel L. Jackson适合假死、耍酷、说F word，但不适合说教。
maggie q我好爱！为什么姐姐永远这么辣🥵
李美琪身材真好，影片总体上没有同期的《凯特》爽快。
过时的大女主杀手片，还喜欢玩点烧脑和文艺，绕来绕去的也不算有趣，70岁的迈克尔基顿演这个角色是认真的吗，褶皱的皮肤和稀疏的头发，从头到尾的油腻感，在说出kill me or fuck me 的时候，这部电影彻底毁了。李美琪还行，没完全老去。

maggie q我好爱！为什么姐姐永远这么辣🥵
三星半 这个杀手不太冷+史密斯夫妇+john wick 但跟以上三步比都差得远 maggie Q 太瘦小了 一个人干翻一群外国壮汉 不协调 没有拳拳到肉的感觉 打戏不够精彩 最后几分钟剧情很拉垮 电影在好几个地方拍摄 取景画面都很漂亮 总体中规中矩
打架就好好打！ 别整没用的我可求求了！ 导演，女主的童年扮演者，你是换了好几个吗！ 跟女主一点都不像。真服了。最后童年开杀那一段，简直玄幻片吧？
除了MaggieQ的超模身材记不住任何 剧情就很离奇
看完这片的第一件事就是立刻打开页面翻出来看看编剧到底是哪个臭傻逼，结果，我操，理查德温克？！这尼玛能是写过《机械师》和《敢死队2》以及《伸冤人》的编剧干出的事？真不知道这货是嗑多了还是喝多了或是撸多了胡诌出来的本子，本来还想骂马丁坎贝尔的，想想也算了，老头一把年纪混饭吃也不易，不过说真的他不出啥意外未来几年就得跟西蒙韦斯特和雷尼哈林一样来天朝拍片了，天朝毕竟是荷里活过气导演恰烂钱的集中营！
透露着浓郁上世纪趣味的时装特工片，看完，你会有一个大大的问号，他们到底在干嘛？一颗星给一脸面瘫的MaggieQ...
杀手有无人机，保全连个对讲耳麦都没有?现在什么年代了，面部识别也没有?
演员非常吸引人，但这个剧本简直是用脚写的，白瞎了这个阵容…2.5
毫无特色的大女主动作片，还不如成龙合作的上一部作品
讲了100多分钟的玄学故事，就是不把越战遗产主题给点明。我有时很疑惑，这些不算差的技术团队围着一个装腔作势、不知所云的本子转几个月，是为了洗钱吗？这是温克认真写出来的本子吗？还是将写在便签上的零散创意拼出来的本子？
就是整体很完整，没啥亮点，打就完事的感觉。
