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.
柏林枪战那段最好看，后面的剧情简直槽多无口和闹着玩似的，结尾派望着家人的微笑也格外老套…
末日废土背景，荒漠求生，为财舍命，独角戏，男主演技没话说，化妆师牛批，虽然没台词极少，但是蝇虫嗡嗡的声音从头至尾没有断过，如何做到让它们在男主脸上恣意飞舞的？
还行还行，我觉得还行，近期能看到的还算是不错的片子～～
螳螂捕蝉，黄雀在后。为什么不相信姐妹花呢？我认为姐妹花比胖子靠谱。出色的化妆，乍一看以为是僵尸电影；废土生存的画风神似《疯狂的麦克斯》。澳大利亚的惊悚片总能给人带来惊喜。
发现黄金的那一刻就能猜到导演大概想怎么展现人性了
老套的故事，地下间谍工作被上级组织出卖然后复仇。也许里面一些场景在美国比较应景可以获得美国观众的共鸣，但是对于中国观众就是看了一个已经重复过很多次的老套的故事。虎头蛇尾剧情
故事架构非常好，但有点可惜，影片把主要篇幅给了男主个人的艰难等待上，如果在尔虞我诈方面表现的更多一些就好了。
about CIA dirty job... That's ok.
男主是蠢死的，没有任何求生技能还要求留下来守着金子，人家如果10天半个月不回来，不就挂了么？！留就留吧，不趁着开始两天体能还好的时候把住的地方收拾好？离那么近为啥不住飞机残骸里呢？就非得寸步不离的挨着金子？那两姐妹出现得莫名其妙的，衣着整齐精神十足的，是什么人啊？从哪冒出来的？？为啥最后一言不发就一箭射死老头呢？槽点太多，想起什么再来补充吧。。
主角还是太嫩了，跟老家伙还是玩不过啊，影片开始发现金子后，主角主动要守金子的工作，我就能猜到那个老家伙的动机，即使找到挖掘机后，也是一定在远方暗处窥探，慢慢耗死男主，然后独吞金子，其实男主砸下一块金子后，就应该独自求生的，结果人性的贪欲最终害了他自己，男二号更狡猾，暗处窥探，男主死后，才出来要独吞金子，殊不知螳螂捕蝉，黄雀在后，被影片中女徒步者一箭射杀，从影片中，能看出结尾出现的那个女的本想救男主的，给了他机会，结果男主自己放弃了。你想得到别人得不到的，就得付出别人得不到的代价，财富固然好，但是在绝境中，人的第一本能应该是求生，连命都保不住，要金子有球用，这时人心中的一杆秤就得好好衡量了，人财孰轻孰重，贪欲往往会让你付出性命。
男主典型的没脑子还死要钱 居然选择在那等 前不着村后不着店的有再多金子你能带走？
看在Pine的面子上勉强给加一星，真的不太好看唉，节奏感掌握的不算太好。
钱没挣到，到最后还搭进去自己不能回家和家人团聚
还是差那么点东西。代入感很强，如果自己陷入那种局面估计也好不到哪去。很多人说男主贪婪，但中途他曾敲下一块金子准备走了，但又对本地男心存希望。逻辑上还是有点不通，两姐妹是在这儿守着金子吗，还是她们偶然路过？
马马虎虎 一部拍人性的电影 但彼此之间的防备要怎么量化呢
有模有样，但又似是而非。故事套路严重，动作场面设计中规中矩。最终的决战简直惨不忍睹。。。
米国人拍特种兵还是比较专业，开枪动作都很帅，不过故事都是相对弱化的。
A manhood movie. 人性的弱点
“他们抢劫来的，是他们准备释放的病毒的解药，以便在人们的痛苦中狂捞几十亿”。还是你们美国人懂美国人。
贪婪要不得 要是我 敲一块带走 此地不宜久留
