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.
全程快节奏，快餐式网飞爽片，女主复仇遭到背叛继续复仇 剧情简单 枪战动作场面挺火爆 在东京拍摄在霓虹灯下还有种赛博朋克的风格
又一部大女主杀手电影，同样亮点与槽点齐飞，亮点集中在动作设计方面，槽点集中在剧情和人物身上，当然最大的问题是女主过早的受伤和中毒这一设计，让后面女主的一系列的打戏设计都难以令人接受和信服。
================
6.5 如果单说剧情而言就是非常常规的复仇故事，大卫雷奇的动作团队也没有带来太令人印象深刻的段落，但是本片有趣的地方在于这种西方视角下对于日本亚文化完全戏谑式的凝视，女主伴随着二次元登场，在偶像音乐中对决，传递着一种近乎妖魔化但又是无比热爱的创作趣味。
又想学Nikita，又想学John Wick，但这烂大街的剧本跟动作设计，还是早点洗洗睡吧！
看片过程是个逐渐加星的体验 打破了我所有想吐槽的点 好评 看来expectation低一些确实会有惊喜
剧情老套，动作设计差，不够利索，反派不但弱智话多，还喜欢抓美女头发，就像一个初中小屁孩

女性为主角的动作片拍好了挺难的。要么场面不够大，动作不够狠，要么剧情不够连贯，要么脑子不够使，这部电影基本是失败的典型案例。
真就奇葩的逻辑，小孩的心理比大叔的命还重要？？看门的大叔干啥坏事了，大叔命贱？
3.5；这两年出了一批John Wick 风格的杀手，但都没能超越
情感贯彻的很深入，把全篇都巧妙地穿了起来，一点也不过分，与其说是杀手电影，不如说啊文艺片只是加了一些打打杀杀
无脑爽片，色彩运镜都很好，打斗场面更是又血腥又暴力。日本混血妹子表情丰富，挺可爱的。结尾有点乏力，但胜在无用脑负担。
J pop mixed cyber punk 可以看出很多模仿的痕跡 有一幕打鬥很“座頭市”+“Sin city” 女主短髮好看 但顏值比較飄忽 真的是當年The Beauty Inside那位？女二演技真的慘不忍睹 驚喜是竟然有石原雅貴！驚喜！太帥可！好吧 權當看淺野忠信和Woody Harrison同台吧
牵强的逻辑不谈，女主从剧版冰血暴就蛮喜欢的，可是这种耍狠的打片，真不太适合她，目前看来，塞隆、玛格特罗比、萨玛拉维文可能再加个瘦回来的科洛莫瑞兹有那种气质，其它的大表姐、凯伦吉兰、MaggiQ、萨莎露丝什么的，都不太行。。BTW,日本小妹妹挺灵的。。
以及 女主角色需要应该有点肌肉量
怒火攻心的女版，女主虽然是一张大众脸，但是不论枪战戏还是打戏都可圈可点，影片中浓浓的日系黑帮漫画风增添了和纯正的美系动作片不一样的迷人色彩，值得二刷！
There's No Time For Mercy
能看。动作戏爽快下饭，东京街头十分迷人，未来感十足，就像在马车8的赛博朋克地图，妹子可爱，其他乏善可陈。
至少女主的打戏没火药奶昔女主那么尴尬。。。
