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.
“我希望这世界上的男人都是bl，但是唯独不希望你是。一开始我喜欢上的是男生的你，但是现在我喜欢的是安藤。”
可以拍，别太假。温和的其实也是虚假的，代替了愤怒者去原谅，谁有这种资格呢？
中规中矩不磨叽，自带字幕省事了。“木乃伊”警长老了，也发福了
小翅膀把一个渣男演的又甜又老实让人有一点向往是怎么回事（x），尺度戏也很到位，不错不错。男主该说是角色设定不讨喜还是演技问题呢，反正我觉得就是块木头，翅膀配他可惜了。。。。。。（勿杠你对）
很喜欢课堂上的讨论，有些话题不要假装不存在，开诚布公谈一谈更好，但是枫珠弟弟的演技…额额，再加油吧
能提供一些之前没有过的思考视角，比如我们谈起同性恋，是否也是仅将他们看作事不关己的“角色”？不愿接受身边人的不一样，是否是不肯接受世界的复杂性？他竖起墙不是保护自己，是为了让你们的世界看上去更简单。
在一次元和二次元的时间待久了就觉得好像这个世界都接受了同性恋。
想起小时候看的小人书《斯库台三英雄》。不过，部长女儿主动宣誓入伙，被莫名其妙击毙……后来假白女摘头套与劫持者拥抱……这些情节实在用力过猛、煽情过度了，逻辑不能自洽，我不相信这是真的。
呵呵，看看南非现在的样子，你们自由了，如愿了，可天堂实现了吗？
南非黑人自由的代价也是一段刻骨铭心的历史，本片的渲染很到位。但最后过分的洗白就有些过了
那么问题来了，为什么豆瓣演员条目里没有黑人演员和导演？
I don't know.
或许白左们今天来谈南非现状颇为讽刺，但是这部电影真正关注的并不是历史与政治本身，而是自由与平等的诠释！是的，自由可以用用一切来换取，包括生命。自由也绝非妥协与忍让得来，反抗与牺牲是自古以来换得自由与平等的第一步！
节奏把握的不是很好。故事基于南非的真实事件，就会别有一番滋味。但南非这个国家，黑人这么积极的夺取了自由，却不要求上进，感觉也有点遗憾。
看完就记住了一个台词：“自由的代价是什么，一切” 搭配《漫漫自由路》服用，效果感人。
自由的代价是一切。
很燃！编剧和导演带有明显的偏向，把三位MK战士塑造的弱势又强大，暴力又正义！但这是根据真实事件改编的，一分真实四分改编，为自由而战没错，但就真实事件而言，三位主角远没有电影塑造的完美～但凡挟持人质相关的电影，多多少少都会展示斯德哥尔摩症候群，本片也不例外～自由，对普通人，从古至今，都是最贵的！
和标签不符,既不惊悚也不动作.太磨叽了.拍成半小时加几句旁白就行了!
片尾令人潸然泪下的歌曲是Asimbonanga，由祖鲁语演唱的合唱和用英语演唱的诗句组成，在反对种族隔离运动中广受欢迎。（理想主义者永远一腔热忱）
泪奔
