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.
索德伯格这两年的都中规中矩，我也不知道为啥我下了就看了
冲动四星 让我冲动
大数据之下，每个人都无所遁形，接收信息、发出信息的渠道多了，被监控、被搜索的渠道也多了。窥视，以前通过窗户，现在通过电子信息。1319
“作为上世纪就出道的60后导演，却有股年轻导演的冲劲。索德伯格属于少数的既能保持别具一格的作风，还能不断尝试自己喜欢的想法。这回是希区柯克穿越到现在拍了一部《新后窗》。”
短小精悍 结局反杀还是蛮爽的 女主善良勇敢聪明
人工智能+新冠疫情版本的《后窗》，有点意思，索德伯格拍这张小而精的电影简直手到擒来，可惜高潮泄了，反杀像开了金手指，虎头蛇尾得很明显。题外话，女主简直过着我想要的理想生活，可以宅家工作谁想出门，两次发色都好好看。

没看过希区柯克电影。觉得确实有点味道。但是前面感觉进度好慢，后半段却令我看不下去。
结束出门
大数据疫情时代包装下的犯罪片，导演还是想表达数据化带来的信息无处不裸露在外的惊悚也如同Angle极其敏感的表演一样。中间有场戏镜头把她影得很小，紧贴着墙走出寻求安全感，外界环境放大为噪音污染，摄影机好似尾随窥探的运动，妙用楼梯、机房、长廊等场景压迫感、窒息感、恐惧感表现淋漓尽致。
导演。。老了吗，我看的时候以为是什么小导演的处女座，一看导演主页都吓一跳
剧情蛮有创意的,感觉像男主角在玩角色扮演游戏一样
抑郁症一直都在我们身边，我们要互相帮助。
🎬《Kimi》🌟🌟
剧情就一般般 十年前我们就没有隐私可言了 现行的科技早已把你的一切扒的一干二净 唯一有感情戏的男的太特么丑了
这是则爱情故事啊。本该像《变脸》般捧出n个主角，事实是几个配角也演得很不错，但奇怪的只安排了尹启相。不是说他演得不好，只是有种单调及割裂感，只考验了剪辑。
现在电影和电视里都流行得不能出门儿的病，刚看完窗里的女人，俩主角异曲同工，精神类药物可能有致幻效果，没人相信他们，全靠网络和电话破案；走到门口就晕倒或者气短，社交圈极窄，但是都为了正义和责任毅然走出家门，扭转结局，尤其是这部，女主最后开挂了，手持一把钉枪的超级女战士。作为宅到躺家的我，一整部剧羡慕那实木地板的大公寓。
合格韓國商業片，靈魂分離版記憶拼圖，是台灣拍的出來的製作水平，可惜台灣好像都沒什麼編劇在寫這類型題材，殺時間看意外很好看，最後大殺特殺根本John wick上身
索德伯格这部是随便拍拍玩的吗，感觉剧本很简单很扯
不知從何說起⋯ 我100%為了zoe kravitz看的這部片子⋯ 但依然不明白這個導演是怎麼說服各路清高藝人去演他那些並不well executed的電影的🙂 細節loose ends 都不tie 張力幾乎沒有 還有這些莫名弱雞的hitmen是怎麼回事啊 brad一開始的conflict的故事線也完全沒講清楚或給予任何significance 或者最後說到底連social commentary都弱爆惹 更不要說配角全是紙片角色 hbo you are better than this 說到之後決定把三星改成兩星
