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.
服务行业的职业精神探讨还是有点多余和累赘。男女主还在暗暗来电，期待的大进展就这？案件节奏比前作要好，不过这作的伏线显得太刻意。
很多叙事上的巧思真的不错啊。那个樱花镜头，一开始以为是空镜，后面再次出现就多了反转的含义。果然还是日本擅长温暖治愈系。
爱是相互的。十元和咩酱的衣服都好好看啊～泉原先生只是个出钱人物，也太无私了吧
第一次没有那么讨厌田中圭，看来十元对他的怒骂还是有点用的嘛..
即使四处流浪也要对生活温柔以待，总有一天爱你的人们会以同样的方式拥抱你。本片最温情又不可思议的地方在于，小优一路走来遇到的一直是可靠的大人呀，这也是妈妈在意的证明。
结尾有骗到眼泪
虽然都是大牌，但整部电影太平淡了，还有我真是get不到木村拓哉的颜值啊…
时间线交错的设置还行，但剧情有点过分煽情了，随着时间推进也是越来越拉胯。优子和生父见面互换信件时，旁边两个配角跟旁白声似的用台词解读情感，就挺尬的。得知梨花去世后的剧情简直是把“煽情”刻在脸上了，太长太明显，很难共情。故事里的每个人的情感动机都没什么说服力，后两任丈夫到底是为啥会对主角母女俩宠爱无限？剧情走向太童话了。
真无法理解这样的女人。渣女总会遇到好男人，不然就没戏了。
如果人生真的如优子的经历一般那一定是一段跌宕起伏的经历，但是故事却拍得很平淡，故事的走向也基本都能猜到。不过有些情节的氛围渲染得很好，还是会让人投入，比如说毕业典礼。
本来第一部就拍的很一般所以第二部都算不上狗尾续貂了。
有点像国内过年的贺岁片儿。看到美酱和小日向大叔在就感觉随时要变成行骗天下。结束的时候还是phantom of the opera的老梗。东野不太行啊。
《哀愁灰姑娘》是尬黑化，这部就是尬神化。日版四大宽容，完美对应人都死了孩子还小大过年的都不容易，全员圣人伟光正站在世界中心呼唤爱。
有一个相对猎奇的设定但其实整体是没有情节推动的，所以真的又啰嗦又平淡。半夜吃香蕉也是一样的问题，这个导演就是这个路数了。但是！！！为了永野芽郁的哭戏真的值得看！结尾镜头太美了！想打印出来贴在床头的程度！！！（造型师为什么这么用力？又土又不正常……
虽然剧情离谱，但不影响我被感动。十元咩冈田，喜欢的三位合作一部电影的感觉就是爽，虽然十元和咩还有冈田的同框镜头几乎没有😆
全程都对女主“不能对客人说不行”的理论感到不适，如果客人提出的是不道德甚至违法的要求呢？打算咋整？
再次证明这种老土催泪剧情依然能成功让我哭。懒得吐槽剧情还是感慨咩妹真是美弟弟也还是帅，光是为了这两人也值得一看了。
其实整体远好于前作，不过最重要的解密部分改编的令人失去了惊喜感。
爱是相互的。十元和咩酱的衣服都好好看啊～泉原先生只是个出钱人物，也太无私了吧
咩很美，但剧情太奇怪了，正常人的脑回路无法理解
