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.
恕我直言，女主长相气质不太适合演这类角色。片中还一直那种“我很美”闪回剪辑，让我直起鸡皮疙瘩！
还行吧，典型找内奸反转再反转的戏码，中规中矩，除了派派的肉体，没啥记忆点
恐袭内鬼追凶？nah，职场爱情故事。片尾曲挺好听
天津人毛晓彤和鹤岗人刘佳扮演一对重庆母女。彤姐不愧是哏都结界，倒口还比较像样；然后北京人杨玏，扮演一个北漂。这个选角到底是有什么毛病。
短小的故事，巧妙的安排，有点意思。只不过开2.5倍速依然觉得拖沓。
节奏慢，故事挺有意思，多年后复盘调查，不过这对黑白配也不来电，能不能换一个女主，为了政治正确而政治正确。还有就是为啥要搞这么多鼓掌，剧情好像也不需要呢，
反正我没看懂最后“高音”是干什么用的，用来杀女主的吗？
局中局，最后居然是因为爱，或者背叛与复仇，借一个劫机事件。女主实在是丑。
打着惊悚片的旗号 但核心是个爱情片 质感上还算不错 滤镜调色和镜头感都算合格 但是剧本核心有点太弱了 爱情的元素也有些过于复杂 整个所谓惊悚悬疑的因素也远没有宣传的到位 克里斯派恩就像被主流抛弃了一样 《星际迷航》之后竟然完全消失了
译名完全脱离主题，简介也是，是一部很有质感的短篇，没有惊喜，看着还算舒服。
《维也纳行动》。间谍不悬疑。
多条时间线伴着俩人一唱一和同时展开，拧在一起了还这么磨叽不应该啊，而且表演无张力无看点（唯一在要真相大白的时候抛出两极反转再反转，还挺有意思）但但但最差强人意的是故事竟然是建立在两人的爱情上，好一个惊悚，真心逻辑感人啊…
间谍特工挖叛徒，原来是迫不得已护爱人。你美国中情局背叛线人在先，线人报复理所当然吧。
我会不会毁完身边红娘也不曾不靠牵线系上红绳。
节奏拖沓，画面气氛都很好。故事太简单了吧，而且不合理。男主最好的办法不是直接消失跑路吗。
男主角为了女主角，背负了所有压力，也可以为了这次死，精心准备让女主暗杀自己。
这么多个拍微信聊天界面的镜头，拉的全是远景，完全看不清微信聊天的内容。
2022.4.22 剧本演员演技都是还不错的，只可惜导演太烂，剪辑太混乱，叙事线索不清晰。回放了很多次才大概明白电影讲的什么。女主有点老，还好几处露点了，外景也是非常美的。一个爱情片被写成谍战片就有点不伦不类了。
看似精彩的反转，紧张的对立，背后却是经不起推敲的逻辑
什么狗血剧情，也就质感还不错，宝刀未老是说床戏那段么，
