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.
还可以吧！拍得挺踏实朴实的，有狗狗就很感人！
不错， 杰克·吉伦哈尔没有令人失望，和《恐怖直播》有得一拼
杰克·吉伦哈尔的独角戏，全看他在支撑电影。他接拍这样的电影，是为了拥有完全的空间，好去释放自己的所有能力吧。但是，这偏偏又让人更易察觉他戏路愈发缩窄，愈发单一的问题，好像怎么演都是那样，根本看不到进步，甚至产生了视觉疲累，因为他实在接了太多类似的戏种了，前几年看他接拍《破碎人生》就有这种感觉。怎么说呢，其实想演技突破，并不能走这种捷径，一个人把剧本全吃了，徒增无谓的饱腹感，正所谓独食难肥啊，而且到了最后，我们作为观众，看得还是电影质量如何吧，演员再厉害，终归难以决定整部作品的命运走向。所以说到底，电影的背后是“群戏”，只有一个人在那里狂努力，是很难大放光彩的。要是整部电影都在为你服务，那质量就显然更难保证了。
谈忠犬，但“忠”的戏份并不多，军犬在战场上尽忠的画面全部留给人想象，而将全部篇幅用来聚焦聚焦军犬退役后的平凡生活。导演另辟蹊径，可惜感情牌打到了死胡同里，唯独可爱聪明的牧羊犬值得认可。
中規中矩的公路電影，每段插曲都蜻蜓點水。2022.5.16， 湳山戲院。
21_186。原版看过（虽然不太记得了），美版说实在演得有点夸张了，简直是有狂躁症啊，不过后面转换好多了，还是证明有演技的
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。
过段时间回来增添感想的时候发现已经对这部片子印象不深了，可能是以为会和忠犬八公一样的感人，但是并没有那样子产生情感共鸣，所以从四星改成三星
原来狗狗也会有ptsd。打仗回来的老兵无法回到正常生活却无人问津，退伍的狗狗被训练出攻击倾向得被安乐死 thank you for your service, but fuck off now
给爱狗人士拍的影片，不过这部主题上还是区别于之前的宠物片的。狗是人的忠犬，人是国家的忠犬，最后影片的结尾人和狗都离开了国家机器，完成相互的生活救赎。公路片属性，遇到的事情都是点到为止，不疼不痒，看着不累。
前半程钱老板和狗都有点令人讨厌，最后10分钟还行
没什么干货，比较喜欢的两个元素：查宁和狗，片子都没有发挥出来。
美式翻拍标准答卷一例，想在背景、剧情细节和表演上做得更完满一些，其实反而失了趣味。
we don't deserve dogs!!😭🐶 單囊是來看狗狗的呀誰理查寧塔圖啊 不過查寧也算這類型裡有趣一點的了 開場沒多久就自嘲一下美白男的主旋律所以給過 內容也比預期溫馨做作小品還精采一點 看到Bill Burr很開心他Standup或Podcast有時也會聊狗 其實覺得讓他來演憤世嫉俗老兵帶狗公路電影應該更好看
吾一日三馋狗，啥时候能养啊
钱宁选择了个中规中矩的动物公路片给自己练手，钱宁跟狗狗的对手戏有点笨拙，感觉还得是老炮那样的选手才能搞定。
预告片要把这部片子包装成喜剧片，其实是一部有喜剧元素，写潦倒退伍军人的公路电影。钱老板演技有进步，在表现脑部受伤的前军人的病痛的戏份里表现不错。影片还小嘲了时下都市里喜欢以貌取人，头脑简单，没有深入了解就给任何事或人简单粗暴贴标签的怪象。不知道那些喜欢控诉“直男癌”的田园女权，或者喜欢把任何事件掰成“仇恨罪”的西方主流媒体会给这部影片怎么评分。影片本身我给三星，钱老板身材加一星，嘻嘻。
美国连爆米花商业电影都能拍的好看 就是单纯好看 忠犬就是最大泪点
冲着狗狗看。一部基本都在预期，也有惊喜的公路电影。核心好，差不离。
公路片，自我救赎，为了男神的颜值也得给8分哈哈哈
