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.
这么老套的剧情真是难以想象，舞台剧风格让人昏昏欲睡，唯有部分画面值得一看……
阿姆雷斯 质感不如库泽尔版麦克白和绿衣骑士
自从玩过《塞纳的牺牲》之后，北欧人都是宗教疯子这种想法已经挥之不去。
老生常谈的哈姆雷特复仇故事也实在拍不出什么新意了，哪怕是换了个历史背景，影片后半就只剩下一次又一次的血腥杀戮，看得很累
但是叙事神神叨叨的，过于拖沓
大量的中文对白，相当多的中国元素，文戏武戏的比例，几场动作戏的创意，节奏等都完成的不错，很有诚意的尝试，非常希望能在内地顺利上映啊，让更多人至少看过后再去评价
王子复仇永恒主题，配上鲜血和杀戮，冰岛的末世风光，也是一次不错的体验。
北欧版哈姆雷特，野蛮人版王子复仇记。前面很无聊，几度快睡着，后面还行。一个柔弱正太是如何长成彪悍大叔的？亚历山大太粗糙，完全不像王子；安雅太漂亮了，完全不像奴隶。冰岛贵族也挺落魄的，住的简陋人也少。装神弄鬼地方太多，不明所以。
老父亲被新型电信诈骗，不先进行劝导而是转头就要打死亲爸血债血偿的行为真是好迷惑。还有，热爱泊车没人为你骄傲，只有拯救世界才能装逼成功。结尾有抖音今天爱答不理明天高攀不起的反转那味了。
三星半。相比the lighthouse确实匠气工业很多。但是不妨碍我看的津津有味。就这种扣细节的运镜非常适合轻微强迫症的我。好莱坞还每年安排一次Macbeth呢，每年看次哈姆雷特不也蛮好。
看的92y首映场 E大真的尽职尽责认真回答问题 第一次看故弄玄虚神话片 大家吐槽的50个人小村庄称王打打杀杀没有大场面我也深有同感 但这也许是当年北欧神话的真实展现？我被我女神的所有片段吓坏了
观感如同莎翁戏剧，北欧风情拿捏很好。剧情进展缓慢至极，各种情节叙述详略安排不好，但架不住镜头、画面、色调、服饰等方面的考究和气度。北欧神话自成一体，恢弘且残暴，电影很符合这一气质，但说什么epic是过头，毕竟情节过于简单，内涵和神话结合不够。
味太浓了又邪又戏剧（其实画面太好的cult看着有点怪
有被爽到/嫁人要嫁梁朝伟/中国元素很自然第一次觉得不尬/整个电影院我是唯一一个不用看字幕的嘿哈
The.Northman.2022.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-CMRG
但还是值得一看！
很傻的商业片模版海报，看起来却很意外，近期不错的影像片
晕死。。。这不就是打来打去的狗咬狗一样的吗？每个男的都那么脏兮兮的。基德曼干嘛呢。。。迷一样的妈妈。真的很一般。
一顆星給本片帶來唯一的好消息：bruce變回人啦！
故事整体都太像玄学唠叨了，Alexander好帅 Lol
