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.
此外配乐还要加一分，各种配乐让戏剧进展更加充满魔力。很爱小女孩的大眼睛，让整部电影充满了二次元的魔幻感。
================
杀手中了毒，打得迷迷糊糊，不爽，而且很套路。
前半部分的动作戏干净利落，故事、配乐比较差
联想电影，蛇眼起源。视觉特效出身导演，联想，遗落战境，腰间持枪，尤其腰间持枪，也挺爱霓虹灯。
杀手中了毒，打得迷迷糊糊，不爽，而且很套路。
还是这种kill起来干净利落的看着比较过瘾 快 狠 准
啊，最近看了火药奶昔+门徒+凯特，麻木了。
山口多闻被南云忠一秒杀了。决战中途岛也是这俩。。
剧本则有点虎头蛇尾，悬疑的揭晓虽也合情合理，但总觉得平平无奇，几个反转也让人提不起劲，我觉得还是角色的塑造出了问题，太过单薄。
最近集中出现了一批Netflix 算法主导的大女主动作片，动作团队基本都是 john wick动作团队（本片制片人就是《极寒之城》的导演大卫雷奇），故事基本都是被背叛的杀手复仇故事，故事单一，动作风格单一，那最后就是看女主角的个人气质了。我之所以给 4 星，有 2 星是给女主角的。即使在大女主动作片里，都很难逃避「女性凝视」这个话题，但本片女主角做到了。
连着看了几部所谓大女主动作片 哎 都是工具人罢了
不可否认，疾速团队在动作设计上很用心！故事尽管老套，但是我可是冲着场面来的，几段打戏不会失望！疾速、怒火攻心、杀死比尔等等电影的影子，女主还是李小龙粉丝吧，鬼冢虎标配！
只要立下再干最后一票的flag，就算“杀死比尔”附体的女战神，也是难逃一死！
【6.0】比网飞今年出的另一部主打女性动作片的《火药奶昔》稍好，但真的也只是稍好，动作戏跟《火药奶昔》一样也是乏善可陈，还有剧作逻辑和人物动机也都有不少问题。PS：浅野忠信事隔多年又演了一个喜欢男人的男人（上一次还是「御法度」），虽然只有角色设定，完全没有任何相关戏份。
亮点在于一个真正具有主动性的女性主角与女性的相互拯救，算是近年来难得的主题（当然最后的必然死亡是回归主流文化的意识形态话语），本来发挥可以更好但是剧本确实太差，但由于越打越弱的设定，运用着好莱坞的叙事策略却因此在最后一泻千里，镜头语言也太过媚俗（但批评好莱坞电影媚俗可能确实有点不太恰当了，但很多桥段实在耍酷耍得也太俗气了）。
看看动作挺爽！看样子应该有续集！坚持下去，下次换个地儿，日本黑帮真是拍的够够的了！特别是今年上映的某部电影！
文姐帅得老娘合不拢腿 小姑娘好看ˋ( ° ▽、° )
太一般 不够暴力不够血腥剧情又太俗，我选择看浅野忠信和国村隼黑帮厮杀好过看卡特的最后二十四小时强撑。
女性为主角的动作片拍好了挺难的。要么场面不够大，动作不够狠，要么剧情不够连贯，要么脑子不够使，这部电影基本是失败的典型案例。
