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.
第一部差不多忘光，续集就当纯粹血腥动作片来看挺好
完全没有第一部让人屏息的感觉，变成套路硬汉动作片，想模仿但动作设计又不如约翰维克，最好的是部分场景视觉效果设计，以及盲人依靠环境作战的细节。与第一部视角不同，更让人同情这个老人，代入更自然了
没有太吸引我，可能这种电影还是不该有孩子一直参与进来吧。
片中萝莉在房子里和坏人捉迷藏的伪长镜头拍得还不错，只是萝莉实在太丑，动作场景也拍得稀巴烂。
前面该少表现点的，主要看的其实是对抗状态，第二部讲太多故事了，反而没有第一部那种不废话，就是干的感觉了。
女主很飒，爱了爱了。又能打开车又好。而且是个happy ending，3.5颗吧。
看到一半看不下去了，剧情太韩国了，主要是女主不是我的菜接受不了
心脏 拿来吧你 狗狗 拿来吧你 老兵不死 没想到会有第二部 第三部也指日可待
一个墨西哥裔小老外推荐的，说2021他认为最好看的电影……呃……不好看！
No.2295 这是一个寂静的夜，故事发生在一栋房子和另一栋房子里，周围没有邻居，根本不会惊动到警察，故事甚至像是发生在一座孤岛上。对狗不好的人，不会有好下场。毒品的相关人员对社会只有害处，泯灭了人性不存在亲情、爱情。我觉得这个系列拍到这里就可以了吧，老爷爷即使没有死也别拍了，大家各自过吧。
一老一少，前者身存战时的创伤，后者则对自身的未来以及记忆的遗失与拾回后的身份存有焦虑，两者的命运相互扭结，既是彼此的迷惘 又是彼此的救赎。女孩躲藏的长镜头设计，从人物的移动到空间环境以及道具的运用都印象较深。
与第一部一样的惊悚&暴力！真的蛮精彩的！连狗都能叛变，这主人是得多么的残暴🤣听声辨位能力极佳的盲人老头再次展现了强大的单兵作战能力，不愧是曾经服役于特战队的士兵🐮
与前作的风格差异很大，谁能想到续集的最大亮点竟然出在一只狗身上！
现代版的这个杀手不太冷，最坏的人好像没那么坏，最正义的人没那么正义，正义的人总是迟到一步。
过于简洁以及短平快。像是只有两场打斗戏硬生生扩展成一个电影的体量，动作戏无功无过。史蒂芬朗的个人魅力硬撑全片。
郑雨盛ins特别推荐，挺过瘾的，小正太超可爱～虽然反派警察很扁平，没有人性到极点，来凸显几个灰色人物的人性之善，甚至愿意为救素不相识的孩子而牺牲，很感动了。
动人家姑娘，动人家狗
变态夫妻为生计走上犯罪道路，上演“偷心”之旅；七旬退役老兵John Wick附体，率导盲犬大杀四方。
完全没能像第一部那样代入屏住呼吸，陌生环境还能那么牛，开挂的大爷才是真的大爷。。。
作为一部小成本的密室R级片，这续集算相当成功了。小萝莉的演技张弛有度，片尾那段哭戏还特意对嘴角和鼻梁的颤抖作了特写，未来可期呀。灯光和镜头语言的设计还是延续了第一部的悬疑风格，并且血腥镜头有所增加，好评，整体可以四星推荐，毕竟悬疑血腥风格的恐怖片太对味了，看片尾彩蛋男主手指动了一下，再次期待续集吧。
