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.
找了钱记得拿回来给我。这次是用徒弟给的钱付徒弟的打车费。和第一次和徒弟要500元的踢踏舞鞋一样，都是羁绊。现场喜剧和电视艺术的旧新碰撞。
所以，《The Outfit》应该译作《马甲》或《绝不抛头》。
不管是怎样的大人物，回首人生时，最怀念的永远是一无所有却青春洋溢的日子。仿佛还是浅草的那个小男生，理直气壮地宣告世界「芸人だよ！馬鹿野郎！」
这必须戏剧大咖来演啊，否则这小屋里的三层反转撑不住！
很好的讲师徒的电影，最后的师傅照顾徒弟煽情有点过了，是北野武牛逼人生中的一段。
I want so bad to be good. I am not a tailor. I am a cutter
特意挑了一天工休，认真下载了电影，投在电视机屏幕，醉醺醺看到最后跟着真北野武进剧场的时候，才发现电影竟然已经结束了，因为叙述仿佛才刚刚开始的样子，整个故事带着前两年看红白歌会北野武上台唱浅草小子的余温看的，所以自然会加分，但其实整体剧情排布不均匀，头重脚轻，另外不知道是为了深入这个形象的原因，影帝演的北野武在这个阶段就已经开始中风的脸抽抽，总觉得有点违和，这个时候不应该是真正的浅草小子嘛，不过值得一体的是那段脱衣舞女演唱会确实是古早浪漫
真真切切全凭演技拉住观众的注意力，但凡换个水平次一点的演员，这种假装严谨实则一意孤行的剧本早被各路大侠抓着往死里喷了。
我认得这老头：他一忽儿多头，一忽儿空头；前些年他曾是“圆梦巨人”、“头号玩家”，一转头，就成了带着一帮权贵坐飞船逃跑的科技巨头；去年他“不要抬头”，今年他“誓不低头”，他可真会换马甲。
如师如父 一生走过的路 您早已做出了指引 最后以长镜头回归初心 走得再远 依然是舞台上那个浅草小子
3.5。情绪断断续续的，可能和表演方式有关，总觉得在模仿。但看到最后吃酒拿高跟鞋的细节彻底破防了…
喜欢这种老牌的调调，台词节奏表演色调都很舒服。
封闭空间渐入佳境的心理戏，打光和服装都是艺术品
所有的场景转换都在一个裁缝店里完成，男主最后一个眼神转换有惊到我…但总体有点隔靴搔痒的感觉
佐伊·达奇的演技真的是差，只要她开口，就让人出戏。
casino赚钱了么开始干扰人家法国人英国人了，还美其名曰什么照顾生意……
全片只发生在一间小小的裁缝店，但仍不掩剧情的精彩和刺激的反转，布景、灯光、摄影都极其讲究。马克·里朗斯一人的演技撑住全场，“文斗”黑帮戏份过瘾，最近难得的高质量悬疑片
单一场景，密集的台词，精湛的演技，几重反转。被这种虽然老派但教科书般的小成本话剧电影拿捏的死死的，干了一杯陈年佳酿的感觉。3.5⭐
看完后查了才知道居然是北野武的传记片，一开始出场的人如此像北野武我还很奇怪呢，原来是有本人参与，难怪故事的细节上如此丰富。
普通影迷对于所谓「烧脑反转剧」最大的误区在于，错误将编导刻意的「上帝视角」作为主人公超人智商与设定的基础，「无巧不成书」在通俗剧本中已经造作得无以复加了。
