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.
很好看很好看的电影，剧情也特别好看，很吸引人，故事情节内容也很好看，好看好看好看推荐推荐。
3/5 中岛老师在女主卧室门前那段自白比后面两次痛哭更能触动我。b太演技全场碾压。
看完这个电影，我觉得我老了以后大概还是这么酷的一个人吧
好爱好爱夏洛特·兰普林，会努力成为这样的酷奶奶💪
老婆婆摔倒了，男主第一时间不扶人却去捡帽子，就冲这点我就给两星。
本以为会想《酒精计划》一样后半程high起来，结果还是
女主像戚薇
一直在寻找我喜欢过的和长相相似的女星的吸引点 当然除了宿命滤镜 毫无疑问这一部女主出演作品给了我一个答案就是眼睛 现在的我可以说 曾以那样的方式喜欢 我没有后悔
但是错过了终究是错过了
看了一天的烂片了，终于一天的最后一部不是烂片了。一部有点悲伤的喜剧片。
日本中学生就靠看这种片子做心灵马杀鸡啊？是就完了。别光想着正能量输出，能不能有点艺术追求？您是电影，不是心理辅导案例手册。太硬了，都硬不过你。愛されてたんだと気づいたら生きていくんだって？最后来一句“人生不过是一场漫长的寄宿生活”。それだけか？ふざけるな。所詮自分放題でしょ。“立ち上がった”人たちの傲慢さ、醜くてたまらない。
我想说这是一部关于“生命力”的电影。不可回逆的身体的老去，依然有机会展现自己年轻的心态。
不愧是兰普林，优雅至死。台词很克制，就对了。
演技方面：kento头一次主演，还是电影，这种发挥已经算不错了。做到了电影里没有违和感。看得出有点天分，不过下意识的抿嘴真的需要改改。其余的演员没的说，尤其是望月步和山田杏奈，有几个镜头真的很好。
看了眼导演的履历：
倔强任性而又历经世事的老年人生，能以这样的心态持续到老就挺完美的
每个人都是不同的颜色，或许你得不到所有人的欣赏，但总有一个人会爱上你的颜色。
不过不失的家庭和解片，群山的镜头很治愈，有钱任性反叛的奶奶时不时流露对身边人爱的妥协
兰普林塑造的太强了。挺俗的故事。但是兰普林来演就会让我的眼泪停不下来，无法接受剧里奶奶的离世，更无法接受未来某一天…兰普林的离世…
兰普林每一幕看得我都想哭，即使不能说是悲剧也和喜剧完全不沾边啊。
