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.
间谍片的一种新尝试？拍得跟室内情景剧一样，基本都靠角色的对白来推动故事，当然也没什么故事，就这么点事半小时就说完了，看得跟看着电视剧一样缓慢啰嗦。你说是烂片吧，镜头还挺精致，一些配菜看上去好像还不是小班子的作品；但是空洞，花架子，毫无内核。
稍微沉闷了些，但是反转的很虐心，爱情大于生命
逻辑上还是说不通。还不如自己直接认了完事儿。
看了10分钟就先评了吧，画面和服装有点刻意精致，剪辑的根广告似的，不过还是打算看完
截止到真相揭晓前的一刻，一切都那么美好，多时间线推进，老案例被层层拨开，真相就在眼前，连杀手都就位了。结果，居然是个爱情片，难怪那么多床戏吻戏，谍战味道一下就淡了。
我不知道为什么这样，爱情不是我想象。有些职业不适合爱情。
剧情老套沉闷乏味，4倍速看的。
一开始说先去伦敦再去加州我就觉得顺序有问题。
过于无聊。这个电影基本把我那本书里面的剧本问题重新上演了一遍。
剧本不错，但看完脑子里就是∶所以这就是为什么让特工不要谈恋爱。
打着惊悚片的旗号 但核心是个爱情片 质感上还算不错 滤镜调色和镜头感都算合格 但是剧本核心有点太弱了 爱情的元素也有些过于复杂 整个所谓惊悚悬疑的因素也远没有宣传的到位 克里斯派恩就像被主流抛弃了一样 《星际迷航》之后竟然完全消失了
想不通知道了一切后，最后女主怎么忍心抛下男主就这么走了呢？
大部分时间絮絮叨叨扯半天，就等最后一个包袱抖得响不响。结果是普通到无话可说。
其实还好 就是告诫大家没事别和同事瞎谈恋爱 片尾是翻唱cure的love song 实实在在是披着间谍外衣的爱情片了 whenever I am alone with you you make me feel young again 片名翻译的宝刀未老 可能也只是扣在了这里 呵 这恋爱的酸腐气！
两主演颜值都已经老了，演技也没觉得未老。整个过程看了力不从心，悬疑差点火候。
墨菲，别来无恙。宝刀未老，宝刀你胖了。电影是好看的，被这个爱情故事感动了。
截止到真相揭晓前的一刻，一切都那么美好，多时间线推进，老案例被层层拨开，真相就在眼前，连杀手都就位了。结果，居然是个爱情片，难怪那么多床戏吻戏，谍战味道一下就淡了。
比上周派恩那个承包商强多了，技法不错，氛围压的好，船戏那我就想起来老斯的慕尼黑。整个故事其实就是指挥大厅装一个监控就能解决的事...
最后的反转蛮好看的。一个典型的办公室爱情，套在一个灾难的框架下。我觉得，有话要直说，不要憋在心里，会造成误会越滚越大。整体三星，再增加一颗星给派恩的造型。
男主很帅over，激情戏妹妹突然戴上眼镜继续观影😅
