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.
还是很喜欢韩寒啊，他的幽默和他的浪漫都是很机灵又能打动我的。多到甚至冗余的题外表达我能get到很多，继续加油吧
P.S.本色出演的黄晓明和刘浩存，像大城市里的摩托一样“特别”的沈腾、冯绍峰、陈小春，刘昊然在这之中有些不一样，如同骑车时迎着呼啸的风讲出的愿望，听不清就消散在风中，就像不曾存在一般…以我现在的心境来看，我很希望有一个烂俗的美好结局，欢颂通过工作赎回了阿耀最喜欢的车，阿耀也成功完成了表演，他们在江岸相遇，最后他们回到了小镇，都实现了隧道里说出口的理想，可是电影里没有。
前面的赛摩托车还有点看点，后面为了生计打工就很冗长无聊了，而且还是个悲剧版的麦琪的礼物。
唯一的目的就是讲他是修塔哥的段子，除此之外没有任何作用。
@@（2022-02-01）四海（Only Fools Rush In）
最后，确实不适合在春节档，结局太无语了
看完之后呢，就和没看一样。
电影讲述了年轻人阿耀的故事，孤独着一路向前，将热血倾注于摩托之上，通过一次次的弯道飞驰找到存在于这个世界的方式。
5分吧，男主就算给了这么多本地元素，在南澳还是显得格格不入，尹正演的不错，抽的欧万也很符合人物，从他死了后剧情就变得很奇葩
1.几个幽默的点是否和全片氛围不太契合？2.影片前段，床上有本书，欧亨利的《麦琪的礼物》，预示了结尾。3.刘昊然的小胡子，致敬了《从海底出击》中的胡子自然生长。
难道是被资本裹挟，或是还人情？不至于吧，要编剧没编剧，要演技没演技，故事东拼西凑，人物像在梦游，当刘浩存和黄晓明出现时，我就知道这个电影好不了了
这个时代的风停了。
这片如果出现在暑假档，可能分数还会高一些，但居然在春节档这个时期，实属不讨喜，要知道大部份中国人不是文青，不是文化人，个人还是喜欢韩少的片子，台词对白听着舒服，虽然除了沈腾，演技都不怎么样，剧情也很俗烂，不过风格还是喜欢的风格，希望韩少以档期和受众为戒，将来出更好的作品吧
而且你管这叫 喜剧？
从某种意义上说，韩寒心理年龄其实是停滞的，停滞在某一年不再长大。但是这个作品确实优于以往的所有作品，足够五星。
我拍了拍衣服，想那又如何，反正我也是被他们笼罩着的人，他们先行，我替他们收拾着因为跑太快从口袋里跌落的扑克牌， 我始终跑在他们划破的气流里，不过我也不曾觉得风阻会减小一些，只是他们替我撞过了每一堵我可能要撞的高墙， 摔落了每一道我可能要落进的沟壑，然后告诉我，这条路没有错，继续前行吧，但是你已经用掉了一次帮助的机会，再见了朋友。
救命啊这真的是韩寒的电影吗 我宁愿相信《四海》创作出来的令人头痛是故意为之 韩寒的电影总是会存在着赛车 父亲与童年幼稚 韩寒拍的电影乃至写的文章与书都还算蛮有个性我都还挺喜欢的 但这部电影我只看到了不切实际的无病呻吟
刘浩存的表演有点做作，和刘昊然感觉不在一个情境中。沈腾离场后整体就掉下来了，一直在让观众落空，桥段老套，韩寒老了。
年轻好像就没有什么困难是克服不了的，虽然明天和意外不知哪个先来临。
没想到的是我才意识到我和韩寒的音乐品味有相似。。。。
