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.
的确是惊悚片，一看到奥古斯特就想逃。为两个主角的气质和梦一般的开头结尾加半星。
盎撒式历史虚无主义的集中体现，华丽的场面和养眼的卡司，虚构了战前英德青年官僚本着良知为和平作出的努力，为的居然是强行洗白张伯伦维系短暂的和平而作出的绥靖，仿佛张中堂的所谓“务实”只是忍辱负重的缓兵之计，舍得骂名为帝国赢得战争准备的时间。然而不提傲慢的英国初心更在于祸水东引求得苏德火并，事实是英帝的绥靖是以小弟为代价的慷他人之慨，只为自己置身事外，时隔八十多年，NATO先撩者贱又在乌克兰战场外隔岸观火，历史实在是多么相似，最有意思的是片末说张中堂的忍辱负重为英帝赢得最后的胜利争取了时间，只字不提苏联，仿佛二战是靠英帝打下来的，真是滑天下之大稽。
这可能是我看过最形神兼备的张伯伦，有血有肉有感情，并不觉得导演是给他翻案，希特勒就比较符号扁平化。有既成历史背景束缚，故事就难发挥，不过节奏气氛很好。
对不起，危机边缘我还是嗑到一口，两个小年轻之间张力十足。吸一口烟憋着等你一起吐是什么深沉的爱（bushi
1张伯伦真！没什么好洗的，因为张伯伦白了，丘吉尔岂不黑了（虽然政治都是灰的…2两个异国小帅锅又使眼色又送小纸条的，不知道的还以为这是一部不远千里来私会的政治版call me by your name…3当时德国是环境造就了希特勒，不是希特勒造就当时的疯癫，就算当时下的了手，一个“希特勒”倒了还会有千千万万个“希特勒”站起来的…4就电影而言拍得还算不错，张弛有度
合着英国佬还觉得二战的爆发没自己的锅了是吧，张伯伦尽力了，换邱吉尔全杀了是吧
恰在俄乌战争焦灼之际看了这部电影，谁能说现下的样子与1938年没有那么几分相似，虽然彼时之德国远盛于如今之俄罗斯，历史也不会照样再来一次。
如果不去探究历史，就这个剧情还能看。如果去探究历史，原来历史还可以这样拍。
关于历史事件的一种演绎，放到今天来看，其实大家都明白战争是毫无意义的，不过是政治的延续，所有的谈判，协议，不过是暂时的借口，最终还是实力说话。捷克的苏台德地区，也真是够悲催。
关于小人物在大时代下的命运想起了兰心大剧院，片子的真主角其实还是内维尔张伯伦这个争议人物。
有种看星战3的感觉，它提供了一种截然不同于生活的逻辑，命运板上钉钉，越走远一步，离死亡便越近
合格分的二战爆米花，就是最后的字幕太屎了，绥靖和战胜纳粹都快吹成因果关系了，减1星。
22.02.22.Putin大帝宣布承认乌克兰两个共和国。历史重演
导演把蓝眼睛帅哥拍得太好看了，帅哥演技也很好。运镜很有想法，就是故事有点无聊
唯一露怯的就是希特勒的描写，演员的因素特别大。在该有张力的地方演员没有演出强迫感，使得对手的紧张显得有点莫名其妙。找不到特型演员，至少找个气场强的吧……希特勒的压迫感还没有护卫队的队长强。
美如画的兄弟爱情片，开场很像《巴黎烟云》。We have no chance to choose the times we live, the only thing we can choose is how we respond. Hope is waiting for others else to do sth. 真的很让人伤心的片，但小狗一直在搞笑，我都伤感不起来…
个人的力量 在历史洪流中阻挡不住的巨大车轮前 是多么的无力 他们尝试改变及
通过两个小人物的角度展现慕尼黑协议签订前后英德双方的立场态度，可以作为一定的历史背景补充，有一定的剧作张力，但是不太满意最后电影对张伯伦谋略的反转刻画，就算不太了解历史的我都会觉得突兀和前后矛盾，就会对主创是否能正视历史产生疑问。
6.5 A故事以虚写实 给一个剖面看到战争爆发前各方的状态 强调小人物对于历史虽然微乎其微但日拱一卒的推动 希特勒初次登场的那场戏特别好 缺点是强行类型元素 让人出戏地强作惊悚悬疑 又为了突出主角之间的冲突把谍战戏搞的非常儿戏 而且导演对自己的表达太不自信了 生怕观众看不懂恨不得把自己的中心思想让张伯伦给念出来 话虽如此但还是好过乔乔兔之类的几百条街吧
