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.
Broken people save broken people.
谷阿莫，全程看杰伦哈尔的脸，不是谷阿莫几句话能讲清楚的，关于男主最后价值观的转变，只有看正片才能知道。
杰克格伦哈尔的独角戏，确实的的确确得靠演技支撑的一部戏，说不上哪里多出彩，可能结局稍微差了点儿。
吉伦哈尔的演技个人秀，各种大幅度情绪转换和面部微表情，经历特写镜头的轮番考验，90分钟应该说是极限了，很难再搞得更长，情节和角色的构架也不太支持更复杂的设计与逆转。价值观层面过于强调结局的教育意义，连被剖腹的男婴都不死，是不是也太过分了。三星。
男主人设实在不讨喜。结局圆满又正确，好莱坞潜规则兜兜转转又回去了（以前要正确结尾，有段时间变成要坏人赢，现在又轮回去了）
6.6分。翻拍2018丹麦版的，基本还原了。比不了原版，但杰克的演技还是过关的。抛开电影本身不讲，我真的是厌烦了基督教这群白狗，整天救赎这救赎那的，自己罪孽深了开始反思忏悔了？呵呵。

broken people save broken people...
和原版几乎没有区别...加的几个外景画面反而有点突兀（可能先入为主了吧）
本来以为是男的杀了孩子并绑架了姑娘，因为男的有前科，我们总是先入为主，但是最后发现姑娘有精神病，是她杀了孩子。这个反转很赞！ 但是他也是真的暴躁得让我害怕 Broken people save broken people.
没看过原作。表演的感染力很强，但剧本原本可以更深刻一些。
一张桌子一个人一小时一场戏，只能通过电话那头的信息抽丝剥茧地制造悬疑推理案件，这份匠心独具该归功于本片翻拍的 2018 年丹麦原作。跟《无间道》当时的操作一样，美版改编风格更急促，主角新增了哮喘、PTSD 等极端症状以及歇斯底里的嘶吼来强调情绪气氛之焦虑紧张，本作无疑较原作镜头风格更两极分化。短板在于男主个人支线剧情的节奏插入得很怪，越往后台本造作感说教感也越重，全靠吉伦哈尔的演技撑完整场。在才能有限的剧本范围内，这个全美国我最喜欢的男演员又一次超常发挥了。
不因主演的话，我是不会看这部电影的，感觉奈飞的好剧/电影不多。
全部预算都用到了老吉上吗 但是这么暴躁有心理问题在现实中应该是会被停职而不是调职吧
我说分这么低呢，原来又是翻拍，由于没看过原片只看过这部，我还是觉得挺好看的。
真人版911 接线员 突然意识到也许游戏里的那个我也这样
最开始的几次翻转很成功，但关键转折和之后的处理一塌糊涂，毫无悬念可言。
暴躁老吉在线办案，这么暴躁，不怕被投诉死嘛
帮助他人也是对自己的救赎，没几个场景大部分都是电话，依旧很精彩
