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.
真的很一般，从舞蹈到表演到角色。故事情节更是令人发指地莫名其妙，一个傻妞儿竟然为了一个素昧平生的男的，连哥哥被杀都不管，依然在当晚上床。整个情感并不令人信服，看完一头雾水，只觉得傻。通篇的种族歧视和没有翻译的西班牙文台词非常令人不愉悦。眼前一直闪现底特律。
[Cinemark at Tanforan] 前半匠气的风格化影像使末尾的克制处理显得尤为有力
剧情一言难尽，歌舞片街头群舞这类型不太欣赏得来，不过体育馆斗舞那一part确实好看
妈呀，私心喜爱Jimmy O Yang！太甜宠了吧！！！

打差评的人估计看任何一部电影都只有一个标准：符和自己价值观的故事
看了一会儿就猜到结局。这女主真是的，光冲人家外貌去的，结果她也不是真的喜欢户外，就很扯。她真的没多大理由可以生气，因为他们俩都虚伪，天生一对
舞蹈设计、光影交错真的绝了，故事有些老套丢失了一些共情感，但也还看得下去
场景镜头都很精巧，就是这剧情太低智了，分分钟让我出戏，感觉好像在看印度片。西语听不懂，歌也不好听，男女主像被强行捏在一起的一样没有chemistry
《合约情人》北美任贤齐版本，文化的冲突，谎言的背景都挺契合当下题材，挺适合国内再次翻拍，剧本很好
not bad. Harry Shum真的看起来超讨厌
还拿了不少奖...就这么个破玩意？杀了他哥直接上床？在电影院坐2小时看这杂乱无章的小混混斗殴？连配爆米花的激情都没有...宣扬地痞文化几个意思，为政治正确选角改肤色也很刻意
就好像…因为一首歌买了一盘CD，然后发现那是整张专辑唯一一首好听的曲子…

经典的东西就留在过去好不好…何必再浪费这么多钱做个大型舞台剧
Lake Placid也被拍进电影了，同样也是冬天去的冷死了，女主怎么可以光腿？？
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈为什么这片子我也能看哭哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
已阅，调度精彩，片子无聊，如果不是颁奖季和斯皮尔伯格双料加成大概率是不会看的，热评说这是加长版《美式霸凌》，简直太传神了LOL🤣🤣🤣
和京剧一样，欣赏不来。 把一句很简短的话拉着长音唱出来，有点浪费生命。
5.6/10，过时的故事和人文观念，吵耳不搭调的音乐，不来电的男女主，毫无疑义的翻拍。唯一能看的是大导演的美学和场面掌控力，可惜也因为太复刻老版的缘故，缺少歌舞片的灵动和赏心悦目。
