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.
只有西野是可爱的。剧情作为“悬疑”非常无力。
如果我早点看评论就不会浪费时间来看这个了 太拖沓了
①storm: a situation in which people suddenly express very strong feelings about something that someone has said or done.
先说剧情结构，多线故事有一个外壳，有点创意镜头，故事外叙述人展现，外壳就是作家男主给出版社编辑看自己的小说，而小说就是主线故事。再说主线故事本身，结尾揭开谜底以后有一种就这么点事的感觉，讲的花里胡哨的，其实故事不复杂，就是三张假钞的去向，而且这个故事的起点有点怪怪的，假钞为什么这么重要，男主为啥对只见过一次的舔狗眼镜男这么看重并为此这小说，眼镜男为何对妻子忍气吞声，书店老头为何留钱给男主，问号太多了，可能在日本比较合理吧，整体来讲还算下心思了，6.8
剧情一般，维拉法米加化妆和演技都很棒，很像意大利女人。
节奏不错，故事后面奇迹发生是主角自己的幻想，感觉男主也是渣男！
老婆饼里没有老婆，鸽子的击退法里真的有鸽子
两星半，剧情平淡冗长，佩服自己居然看完了。
在我們活著的時候，身邊總有奇妙的事情發生，並且在短時間內我們一無所覺，一無所知！
圣诞节过后的假期看了一部男主角死在圣诞节的电影。。。除此以外不知所云
我怕是我上辈子没烧够香，才沦落到看这种电影。
近年来饼哥少有的悬疑佳作。反转得挺多的，实话说自己的IQ没猜到结果，所以我觉得行，影片叙事节奏和画面色调都很契合，而且演员也没有拉胯的（nanase还是稍微差了点，不过也没太影响，我觉得已经比她平时演技上了好几个台阶了）BTW都40的饼哥居然看着还没变，对比饼哥的月，松山L就好像正常年龄了（正好看他们一起宣番，所以提一嘴，这片里没有松山）
真的对闹米的选片无语，吃力不讨好那种，剧情太平淡了
不知道大家什么角色，但作为一个户外爱好者，有几个点还是要吐槽的。1，住山下又是爱好者，怎么就不清楚有那么大一个洞？新雪洞？这么厚+深不符合常理，应该是杜撰的。2，女主真大神，6点起床+洗漱+整理+开车，一小时可以正式爬山了，然后不到5小时，从遥远的无雪地带爬到山顶，之间还掉坑一次，这速度真可以。3，掉进溪流，见到男主居然不见他冻得发抖，湿身后也不是第一时间换衣，披救生毯披上，还有湍急的水流呢？4，车场女主就关个车门，对方就从外面进了车内，并发动了车子，左脚这么严重的伤呢？平行位移嘛？5，女主23点半车场，然后慢慢吞吞洗漱至少1.5小时吧，然后7:19自然醒，果然人老睡眠少呀！6，最后，就算8点爬山吧，居然还能赶上山顶日出！这是什么操作？！总之，哎，可惜了这么好的题材，这么感人的事件了。。。
要不是结尾掰回来了。就真的是烂片了。。。这个还是新闻改编的？
劇本比較大膽地在虛虛實實中跳躍，虛實之間處理的還是比較到位。多線索並不混亂。但是整個電影乏善可陳，亮點不多。
这么精采的影片 为何评分和看的人都不多 而且也表达的很清楚 为何一堆人说的不正确 怪事
emmm……六分吧，不能再多了，饼哥最近没啥片子了吗。
原著好看，但是这个电影拍的，只能说有点浪费演员。个人觉得一般
