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.
大鼻子情圣的喜剧变体啥时候都有市场。以前在网飞看过欧阳万成的脱口秀说点开看看。大量使用亚洲演员然却依旧是披着亚裔皮的白人圣诞爱情喜剧，不知道该表扬现在好莱坞的政治正确里终于想得到要用亚洲面孔了呢，还是该继续骂这特么滴根本就是跟亚裔一毛钱关系也没有的故事。
Kudos Jimmy Ouyang for selling the story.
such a cliche，达咩Netflix的电影
还不错啦！但是Jimmy 的表情真的好单一哦哈哈
笑点是有的，演的也都挺好，但是太强行圆满了，而且人设都很奇怪，女主又没有做错什么，男二有啥可说她欺骗自己的？还有，明明男主才是一切谎言的开端，最后变成女主道歉？再有，男主哥哥太奇怪了，一会这样一会那样，到底闹哪样？！
吸血鬼日记女主已经糊到这种地步了吗，这种烂片都接
Online dating的圣诞轻喜剧。激情的火焰如果不能被煽旺，最终就会熄灭。
其实想打三星的，欧阳万成演技还是略微刻意，全程感受不到他对女主的爱，就一直就是对女网友的态度。不过也是因为欧阳万成加一分，希望他以后演技可以跟脱口秀一样棒
Jimmy O Yang 演技可以哈 剧本也比料想得有脑
亚裔男性的终极幻想，现实情况是你要比欧美人年收入多赚一辆宝马，才能在恋爱App上有同等吸引力。
第一次看到也有和我一样 kiwi 过敏的人了！！！！
温情欢乐圣诞喜剧。bug肯定太多完全不能细想。总体还是可爱的。
是温馨美好的爱情剧，为了反转而反转，只能说剧情老套，女主演技一般，男主还是去说脱口秀吧。
From love hard to love actually
Love Actually + Die Hard = Love Hard 😂 首部以亚裔普通长相的男生作为主角塑造的欧美电影，打破浪漫爱情故事的角色设定，最后来了个反向Love Actually表白你敢信😂
Jimmy O Yang不贱了就没那么有意思了
还行，恭喜Josh啦，终于不是标准的王子公主故事啦，耶嘿
女主是有点老了，这个跟男主最后爱上的情节，我实在有些难以下咽，对不起
很俗套的故事，但因为男主是Jimmy, 可以看！
so American popcorn movie 一半弃 any predictable movie is not a good one
