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.
被桑婆这句she was only five years old戳到了，全片她演技好赞
老生常谈的事，
这剧情不意外，甚至有些狗血，但女主角的演绎和风格处理还是挽回了不少。
可以根据故事改变现实
虽然槽点满点：镜头会突然推进，接电话只用蓝牙耳机，美式电影的fxxk。。。
《星期四》就像是个犯罪片万能模板，最后的核心立意贴任何现实问题都可以成立。归根到底就是悬疑的铺垫，犯罪本身与正义诉求没有必然性，也没有主人公逐步发掘真相的戏剧反转。全盘在理想化的女主视角下平铺直叙，顺利发展。因此那些视听语言所建立起的紧张氛围都是伪惊悚。而且在视听处理上也有印度电影一贯的毛病。虽然近年像韩国电影在像现实主义题材转，但创作喜欢还是脱离不了歌舞片的那种推焦大特写，这就是落后审美的局限性。
翻翻网页，有多少男性网民对强奸报以调侃的语气，她也舒服，她们就喜欢被强等等。看看女主的遭遇，这样的事情会直接毁掉一个人的人生，真不是能拿来玩笑的。故事主人翁以自我牺牲来推动立法，舍小我为大家，大有我自横刀向天笑，取留肝胆两昆仑的气魄。连台词都振聋发聩，这个国家的人都习惯装聋作哑，必须得对着他们的耳朵大吼大叫才能引起重视。印度这个国家时常让人鄙夷，但有时也让人肃然起敬。看看人家拍的，再看看我们自己拍的，真是丢了祖先的脸。最后说一句，警察为啥不用红外热成像仪，绝对一击毙命，英雄哪有那么容易做的。
整体节奏还行，政治正确，但剧情略BUG，一整个印度拿一位妇女没办法
桑德拉老成了这样，岁月不饶人那，还是男的抗老。请看基努里维斯。
本片被评论区诟病一些点，恰恰是我最喜欢的：不是每部电影都得剖析所谓人性的复杂，展现朴素的是非观不可以吗？对于女性来说，我们需要最直观的正义。
与今年的开端有异曲同工之处，似乎解决社会议题最硬核的方式不是问题本身，反其道而行之的放大却成了正解。这种社会根部的病态在放大镜下被暴露的体无完肤，犹如这部电影突如其来的一个个印度式切镜，闪的你不得不心中有数。
也正是因此
接这个电影，桑德拉布洛克就是奔着表演奖去的。里面那个黑人警察说得挺好，你要活在当下，不能活在20年前。里面有问题的人，都是活在过去的缘故。但是，又哪能这么容易走出来啊。
整体节奏还行，政治正确，但剧情略BUG，一整个印度拿一位妇女没办法
前面一直看得很难受，反转也挺难受，可至少还有点希望。桑德拉布洛克啊也老了。摸鱼看完。
既然乏善可陈，咱可以提一提“金并&制裁者”的下岗再就业，尤其是“金并”从事律师⋯⋯
播到公交车那一幕的时候，已经猜到了所有剧情。意义还是蛮好的。
我们就这样不自知地步入一个有罪恶，却无罪感意识，有悲剧，却没有悲剧意识的寒夜？无法使人更高贵，反而使人更加卑微。使人自私、猥琐、狭隘和猜忌。把人们的注意力吸引到细小的事情上面去，没有使人超越人自己本身，却使人称不上真正的人
桑婆难得严肃克制。系统性的恶无形杀人后还要剥夺受害人的地位。对伤痛的表达刚刚好。
想明白这一点后，女教师的行为就非常合理了。
