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.
稀碎的剧情加不怎么样的颜值，也就值这个分数了 马丁坎贝尔，烂饭可香？
Martin Campbell的作品還是有點質量，保證了節奏的不崩，中段開始敘事語焉不詳，角色動機模糊不清，究竟被誰追殺、為何追殺，人物沒頭沒腦亂殺人，全靠著一場場沒邏輯又臭又長的文戲給霸佔了！Maggie Q終究擺脫不了美豔女殺手的形象，可惜本片動作戲敷衍稀少，毫無亮點，沒能成為自己的John Wick，還要與70的Michael Keaton硬湊couple，毫無化學反應，只覺得噁心。廢戲太多，全靠卡司撐完。
白老男人和Q见两面打几下就干床上了?然后一秒，就躺平了...
“你无法改变你的过去，但是你可以改变你的未来。”
毫无CP感，能不能找年龄相差不大的。谈人生，谈理想太磨叽了
开场一下雨就知道是流水线产品，但Maggie Q仍然演绎出彩，可以说是姐片经典。楔子+三幕的经典结构，第一幕绝美，第二幕前半像90年代港片，后半和第三幕相对无聊。
男主男配都超过70岁了，天！导演还是007的御用导演，这个阵容好奇怪的样子。故事打斗都还过得去，3星没大问题。
冲着尼基塔去看的，赤裸特工，已无法超越。40多岁还是这么打斗，不容易。多一星给辛苦。
反派也很奇怪，做什么要假死躲开调查？而且到底是谁在查他的儿子，最后也没有说…
杀手片中应该是刚好优秀，唯一缺少的是黑老大的智商再高一点就好了。
动作场面精彩，铺垫到位，不突兀。Samuel Jackson说Richard Wenk写的台词真是再好不过了。剧本唯一的不足是反派人物不够扎实强大，儿子那段戏也显得牵强。但不影响作为商业动作片的娱乐价值。
真就挺平平常常的剧本，之前看预告还是挺期待，演员阵容也可，但就是太普通了，Maggie Q的戏路有点被困住了，老是这类身手矫健的女特工，姐，可以适当的换换戏路了，局长大人貌似客串，一头一尾，一开始“死”的很快，后来又突然出现再次赴死…迈克尔基顿其实这个角色是有记忆点的，但是打着打着就滚床单的安排…最后又莫名其妙…反派也没立住，也不知道全片他们都为啥，为我Q姐加一星
為什麼分數那麼低？智商很高的片子，連台詞都是純金打造⋯⋯應該會有續集，反正都還活著。
马丁坎贝尔快八十了，一个会拍动作片的老手，上部《英伦对决》值四星，但这次的剧本实在太陈旧，Maggie Q被女特工角色彻底困住，全片最酷的其实是迈克尔基顿，为他设计的两场打戏值得一看，其余可快进。
动作戏可以的，比较硬，感情戏莫名其妙，最后萨缪尔炸死大反派之后那段基顿去送死更是毫无理由。MaggieQ始终欣赏不来，不过本片里还拍的挺过得去。
李女士的脸保持得也太自然了吧！李女士打戏一如既往牛逼！咱就是说还是要看未删减版！那个黑人永远不会死！就是这剧情稀烂
打戏没有疾速系列密集和精彩，但血腥程度和Maggie Q与迈克尔基顿的相爱相杀，稍微弥补乐一下这个不足
挺合格的爆米花，古往今来对女杀手的刻画无非是那一套，家破人亡，被人收留，复仇成长。越南的景色很美，反派甚至死得不明不白，如果车上代替他被炸飞的是他儿子还能勉强有点看头。但是姐姐真的好美，long live Nikita！
女主时强时弱,一碗鸡汤就可以逆天改命.气场不错.
暴力血腥的大女主童话。女主一路打怪，文戏四舍五入等于没有。武戏还可以，但也比较好莱坞同质化。
