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.
其实还不错，罗素很有回到冬兵，美队3那种时候的感觉，虽然有些地方确实有些“圣母”但总体还好啦。美队作为一个反派喜剧效果多过可怕。
就跟红色通缉令一样，都是把钱花去旅游去，风景好看！
Girls, run, and be so undoubtedly happy and strong.
Captain America FUCK YEAH
Harper最后的表演是那种“你真给我整无语了”式的
有时候，越是强调一些事情，越是会让人忽略一些事情。以及，看了这片谁会不渴望拥有那辆贼猛的Audi呢🥺
身处漩涡之中，只有自己才能拯救自己，女性朋友会赶来安慰你或者给你收尸。
跟踪狂、暴露癖、强奸犯、gas lighting、toxic masculinity、道貌岸然的男人以善意为借口压榨恐吓女性，也许男性观众看了要啧啧称奇，但这只是一个半小时的对女性日常生活的展现，男权社会日常对女性的身心压迫罢了，男人们厌女又渴望女人的身体，女主聪明、强大、独立又如何，依然被折磨被威胁，教女人如何不恐男人？
1. 在漂亮国眼中，欧洲众小国的地位比不上殖民地。随便派个特工就可以在你家烧杀抢掠，连当地警察特警都不放眼里。
球形世界。地面成为一个平台，现实想象与水中倒影的拼接才是完整的共同体，洞穴与洞口是进入某种连贯世界的钥匙，声音是召唤恶灵的咒语。当女性以外来入侵者的身份进入本就缺少女性身体在场的小镇，本依赖男性力量实现的平衡出现倾斜，镜头矫正但无法阻止禁果沾地；运动状态的改变无法维系男性天然的安全感，于是只能宛如自我繁殖般不断破体而出，焦虑与血肉共存，而当母体终于正视世界真貌，心愿和心魔所谓的一线之隔被打破，冠以纯洁之名的身体想象和肉欲渴望不过是一场污秽而肮脏的意淫。有几个场景需要用一生来消化。
除了场景略浮夸之外，还是挺不错的嘛。Chris Evans很亮眼啊

生理结构给女性带来了无法回避甚至无法抵御的规训 - 繁殖 当然 在社会生活中 everything comes in the name of love 这个片子对于女性来说是彻头彻尾的恐怖片
身处漩涡之中，只有自己才能拯救自己，女性朋友会赶来安慰你或者给你收尸。
奈飞这几年拍了太多这种显示其人傻钱多的无脑大片。毫无逻辑合理性可言。
比最后一部007好多了吧，打斗场景明显都是好好设计过的。
所有的特征最终都汇聚到丈夫身上，导演却用一种男性生育过程来表现，我觉得女主是借男性的身体来排出自己的恐惧和怨恨，是为了找到那个另自己消化不良的源头，但拍出来却多了层孵化的意味，让步于感官上的痛感。
OMG…OM EYES… O Fxxk…怪不得改了译名… 真妙！
2.3 不知道重感冒还是怎么，这样一部电影竟然看得想睡觉，昨晚看的《神探》学皮，今天这部倒是《谍影重重》和《007》的皮都没学到，这对兄弟的巅峰也就在美队2了
罗素兄弟的《灰影人》这部作品可终于有了点当年《美国队长2》的感觉，比他们那平庸的《21座桥》和尝试新路子的《谢里》都要强上不少，果然这种把精彩刺激的动作场面给塞满的纯动作片才是罗素兄弟的归路，给予了观众们诸如烟花宴会暗杀、坠落货机和布拉格街头火拼等许多出色的动作场面，可谓是几乎没有尿点可言。而且考虑到罗素兄弟在本片中也展现了不少拍摄复联系列时爱用的CALL BACK玩法，再搭配上那比《红色通缉令》的AI撰写式剧本要合理多了的剧本走向，都使得影片的基础水准获得了进一步提升。不过缺点也肯定还是有的，比如那些可以被随意牺牲的工具人配角、立不住的角色动机，以及那完全没起到作用的麦高芬U盘都或多或少影响到了本片，但毕竟本片只是部种爆米花动作爽片，那还是别纠结太多较好，所以综合后7分。
