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.
枪战戏动作戏做的还可以 剧情一塌糊涂 各种漏洞 剧情的最大转折毫无逻辑 老板突然要灭口干什么？失了智了？
节奏还可以，一个被陷害的marine被陷害然后反杀的老套故事，短小精悍
剧情太慢, 有点拉胯, 故事讲不好, 又没有特效支撑.
美版《所有邪佞之人》，顶级的枪战片段、不知所云的剧情
基本是荒野求生的独角戏。
看来大家短评都有同感，前半部铺垫实在不错，后来生硬的转折，派恩什么事情都照规矩办了，也没有任何反叛或者质疑，为啥就用完即弃？所以，这不是老套，这是敷衍！
还行吧，不算特别精彩也并不拉胯。Chris Pine表现还不错
大过年的坐个啊高铁看了一路这个片子，也是服了…
更适合拍成剧集。
头重脚轻，准确地说肚子也轻，雇佣兵公司跟过家家差不多，乱打一通不知所谓
【2022.05.10】一般般，剧情一般般，打斗场面也一般般，没有特别好看的地方。
美式主旋律英雄片，高层很坏，士兵很忠心，还是那句老生常谈的话，你爱美国，美国爱你吗？
所以，电影就是一个寓言故事。包括那辆飞机，肯定不是带着黄金掉到这里的，如果是带着黄金不会是那么一大块；所以飞机也可能是之前企图来夺走黄金的人。至于那对用弓箭的姐妹，应该说她们也是守护黄金的当地人。故事不是简单的螳螂捕蝉，黄雀在后；而是人性的贪婪执念，还有财富的力量（其实是它拥有人类，绝对不是人类拥有它）。
美版《所有邪佞之人》，顶级的枪战片段、不知所云的剧情
整部片子不知所云，大概要把导演和编剧的意图讲清楚需要的是一部电视剧，至于人物动机，尤其最后的枪战，男二是自己找死吗？
一般。结尾去反杀，朋友竟然不穿防弹衣，剧情导向明显的像bug。
感觉什么都没有，没高潮，好像刚开始就结束了
其实最强的是警察，几乎灭了那个小队，还把主角打伤了。相比之下boss战斗力很渣
合格的亚马逊电影。与其说是动作片，不如其对士兵为国家机器卖命却被随意弃置的讽刺之重。电影里没有一个人是赢家。主题很深刻，可惜的是自身故事没交代明白，带了硬伤：到最后也没说明为什么私人承包商组织要杀男主。
又一次点题“人为财死”，想起了小时候的故事：从前有一座金山，两个人去捡金子，要在太阳升起来前离开，不然就会被烤焦…
