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.
派派演深情不减的昔日旧爱有一手，比在神奇女侠里当工具人耍宝男友顺眼多了
让人昏昏欲睡的悬疑片😅唯一就是觉得男女主角吃饭的那家餐厅景色真美，但没想到居然一个场景拍到底…
天津人毛晓彤和鹤岗人刘佳扮演一对重庆母女。彤姐不愧是哏都结界，倒口还比较像样；然后北京人杨玏，扮演一个北漂。这个选角到底是有什么毛病。
以为是什么惊天地的谍战片，原来是一部泣鬼神的爱情片。不过挺喜欢这种穿插倒叙的叙事方式。想看动作又悬疑的话，还是绕路吧。
派派真的好美～但是这部片他就是“去世的白人EX”啊（谁懂这个梗）船戏相当的“坦诚相待”了，派演好男友是很不错但是牛顿姐姐好像有点接不住这深情（这片压根就是扯了个间谍片的外衣拍的人到中年忆当年的女性向soft po*n吧
间谍特工挖叛徒，原来是迫不得已护爱人。你美国中情局背叛线人在先，线人报复理所当然吧。
影片故事情节来回跳跃、闪回，回忆夹着回忆，开始时真有些如坠云里雾里的感觉，不知所措。做为“小小的烧脑消遣片”，还是可以看看的。
剧情线设计还是挺不错的，看到后半程才恍然大悟，但是女主又老又丑还时不时给大特写让我有些出戏，也许这就是审美差异吧……
整个飞机百来人被两个恋爱脑陪葬了.想拍出最后那一反转的响惊雷般的效果，奈何拍的跟白开水似的平淡。两个特工为了爱情互相牺牲 可以说感动 但也太不专业了吧
…？（有没有人知道片尾曲叫什么哪里可以听啊！！！！全片最棒就是这首歌了啊！！
评分也太低了叭。导演也似乎借着台词在调侃，派几年不见仿佛老了十岁，虽然派一副深情的样子没人受得住，但神奇的是和Thandiwe之间的互动竟然能这么生硬，即使都这么苦情了。
局中局，最后居然是因为爱，或者背叛与复仇，借一个劫机事件。女主实在是丑。
Bang bang, that awful sound
就很无聊！一想到127个惨死的乘客，我就觉得你俩都挺该死的……
所以这部电影的情节是真的复杂啊。
还可以，比男主同期的承包商好看，一个为爱出卖，一个为爱隐瞒。但不看不亏。
以为承包商就够烂了，这比承包商还烂……无数的时间横跳，导演没有别的技巧可炫了吗？
剧情设计巧妙，有多次反转，可是吧，其他的就没什么新意了，属于不看也无所谓的电影。不过派的演技是真的棒，角色很有信服感
披着间谍片的恋爱片，可惜了这么好的cast。
人类总是不停地给同类造孽。这部电影若是以文字形式呈现也许更好一点。
