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.
以印度的这个强奸率来说，判处死刑得少三分之一的人吧🤣
就冲阿三拍出这样的电影，尼玛到了最后再给你惊几下。步步升华，伦理上完美。
为什么设定是妹妹，不是女儿？在跟养父母对峙时，女主说，是我把她养大的？？？？？？？？？？？5岁？？？？？养大？？？？
不希望每一次的进步，都伴随着流血和牺牲，有些东西，可以从一开始就做的很好……当一个诉求被长久忽视，它不会消失，而只会以更汹涌的姿态，卷土重来！
看完之后心情复杂 结尾的议题已经远远超出了电影本身 戏中的Nina只能通过绑架杀人直播来得到社会的关注和程序的正义 戏外的导演也只能通过悬疑惊悚的包装吸引观众来发现他真正的诉求 就像《熔炉》《素媛》等等 女性孩子这些弱势群体遭受的不公只不是依靠法律和公德 而是要依靠故事和艺术来表达 莫大的悲哀 但也希望它有用 不过电影本身优缺点还是很明显 故事模块套路化 真相落脚在强奸的审判加了分 但从头开始铺垫女主肯定是有隐情的“绑匪” 就弱化了紧张感 因为都知道她不会杀人 特别是小孩子假死的情节类似的太多 不过优点在于导演很善于运用镜头和配乐来推动叙事节奏烘托氛围 所以看得并不无聊 特别是女主的演技很出色 表情明暗的变化很有力度 三分的电影 但因为它的社会意义多加一星 最起码她没有假惺惺站在宇宙呼唤爱
Sandra Bullock演技封神，所有的记忆都需要找到归处。
【2022Movie12】「星期四」（2022）。一部优秀的电影，一部敢于对社会阴暗面发出怒吼的印度电影。⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
昨天才看了她的生死时速，还很靓丽，今天再看这部感觉是俩人了。
为什么要给五星:这电影来自平均两小时就有8名女士被强奸的印度
虽然警察降智，但是最后一切还挺合理。
印度的网警也忒摸鱼了吧……视频随便传？投票随便投？
题材很有社会意义，但情节逻辑上还是有不少漏洞，以女主这般被听到以及与总理见面的诉求来看，按剧情中的计划来走要成功的概率太小，不稳定因素也太多了…以及结尾实在太理想主义，现实依然充满残酷，当然电影这般美好的展现，也许也是表达一种对女性境遇改善的希冀吧。另外始终还是觉得印度电影的通病就是节奏太拖沓，并且过分煽情和戏剧化的对话和表演，会弱化整个主题的冲击性以及严肃性。
还凑合吧！说实话印度电影总是拍这么长真没必要，乏了。
墙中鞋，奶油饼，大衣甜甜圈， life goes on 之罪，更生人不易；Sandra Bullock 演技有点厉害，“惩罚者”和“金并”都好友善
以三年A班的形式开展，以误杀瞒天记的形式进行，用印度女性题材一贯的主题强奸为真相。虽然题材不算新颖，但表现也不差，主要是强奸的男人都该死。
2022/4/3 6.0 印度女性权益话题，但前半部分着墨过于用力，导致女性形象甚至被贬低。整体拍摄手法显得很单一很标准化。
唉看得好难过啊，想起前程似锦的女孩，我们都待在一个只能以暴制暴的社会里。
故事很简单，反转也没有多强烈，只是故事外盒下包装的世态炎凉真是冷彻人心。
电影都只是美好结局
