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.
耳朵敏感的狗狗最后也愿意让他摸
哪里是喜剧，明明是悲剧。需要你时，你是英雄，是功勋犬；不需要时，是被安乐死，是桥底的流浪汉
蛮牛仔风格的人狗交往过程，跟日本的人狗交往电影不一样。
相互治愈真的太棒了
比较喜欢的是，他们牵着狗去寻回被偷的东西那里。很有意思。包括后来发展出来的对话也很有意义：也许我也差点成为他那样，可能更不如。
讨论一条狗的战后综合症
狗电影+公路电影，最爱的两个电影元素的结合体，居然无聊到如此。影片暴露了查宁真的只是个没文化的可怜的大只佬。从片名、剧情再到表演，看到的只有粗鲁和粗糙。
越看越熟悉，果然是翻拍……然而比不上前作。饶是当年的丹麦版都不算惊艳，不知为啥要翻拍。
加了不少泄劲的琐碎，而且结尾大改——不仅“阖家团圆”，告解救赎画蛇添足，可能顾忌美国反暴力执法的情绪。
整体风格还可以。狗是真的猛，人是真的憋屈；狗咬着牙完成任务，人挺着身板活下去。
不只是关于狗，更是关于人的温情公路片。退伍军人和凶猛军犬的互相救赎。钱老板许久不见，身材依旧。
中规中矩的公路片，很多想表达的都感觉浅尝辄止了，狗的演技真好
其实可以有三星半，轻松又有点温情的人与狗公路片。
一个人，一条狗，一段旅程…很喜欢一段戏，男主回家看妻子女儿，画面里只是放了狗狗看着男主进了屋子又出来，然后失望的回到车里把本来送给女儿的玩具扔了狗子玩…男主的私事没有直接描写太多，更没有过多的煽情和卖惨，但是观众都能够明白许多…这就是电影的独特语言…给狗狗写的日记却叫I love me…因为那些写给狗狗的话不但给狗听，更是给自己打气和安慰。医疗或许可以治好身体的创伤，但不一定能够填上心里的缺口…但是感同身受者互相扶持反而有独特的疗效…哪怕是一起上过战场的狗狗队友。“退役老兵的苦没人懂”这种话题已经被无数次搬上大荧幕了，但是以狗狗视觉拍了段公路片倒是挺新颖的…
剧情稀烂，人和狗都还不错。居然在影片里吐槽《实习医生格蕾》，看来这剧实火，也够抓马。
但是反差也还是存在的，比如在山林的那屋子里的老夫妻，看得出他们很相爱，也很善良。
虽然有一点点闷，虽然梗也非常能想到，但还是感动的，送别旧主和彼此治愈，孤单的公路片，以及半永久肌肉的查宁，保持的真不错。
很有代入感，我一个老爷们看的害怕。还有不要质疑女人的第六感
一般，就很正常不过的公路套路片，男猪从狗狗自我救赎得到安慰！
真实故事改编…. 现实里牺牲的海军陆战队战士的妈妈领养了 和她儿子的一起战斗生活的狗狗。战争让 有时候是人牺牲了 有时候是狗牺牲了……生活在和平时间里的人们不需要面对那个痛苦的时候 是很难“共情与理解” 故事中人物的心情…
