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.
很喜欢画风和色系 就是内容有点无聊 ớ ₃ờ
2022016竟然是活死人军团的前传，虽然上一部的剧情就很拉垮，但这一部的笑点和画面设计更有用心在，消遣片
和活死人军团一样非常爆米花，竟然没什么多余的东西。不过我喜欢给小人物作传！
虽然画面构图上比不上正传《活死人军团》，但节奏趣味上更胜一筹，尤其开锁的过程拍得很刺激，男主破解最后一个锁后理解了这个天才，然后和格瓦纳超越时空的对望也很令人感动，而最后他没能等到女主出来找他，就在正传中做了和格瓦纳一样的举动，如他的噩梦中看见的丧尸面前，死在了诸神黄昏门前，也算是宿命了。
摄影、美术依旧扎味。前传故事应该放到美国，欧洲游毫无意义。
作为活死人军团前传,最后的结尾引出了<活死人军团>扎克·施奈德 不亲自导了,不过他也是编剧之一,穿插着丧尸梦境,也是扎导的手法吧.剧情连贯,五人军团的由来和因为意见分歧最后反目成仇,就是主演的加入,为了所谓的成就感而逐个打开三个保险箱,实施过程第三个尤为智谋之举,不过突发情况也是被掌控的,四人被抓,偏偏主演没事儿.这个最起码也给他备个案,以后上门开个锁啥的,还可以在警察监控范围呐.
总体还行，但破解保险箱没啥出彩的地方。。。
P.S.男主抱着两个罐子拍全家福真是心酸又好好笑😂😂😂
扎导《活死人军团》的前传，当初看正片时就对开锁师印象深刻，没想到还真出了前传。男主自导自演，自成一派的风格给传统的盗窃片带来了不少乐趣，里面许多反套路的小桥段真的挺不错，有新意。电影保险箱的背景介绍的也很不错，后面也与正传联系上，还真的有点期待扎导的网飞活死人宇宙了。这片唯一不好的可能就是预算不足，三次开锁经历大同小异，没有大场面，不够刺激，后面感觉有点无聊，结局也不是我喜欢的happy ending。
看着全程很刺激，实际看下来一直冷漠脸...强行夸大主角三人团的能力..槽点很多，看的德语配音硬是看完了...
剧情设计的极致无厘头和中二，散碎女高中生日常，因为店长说错蜡笔小新台词，杀人全店，因为顾客不够尊重自己精心完成的甜品，杀了顾客和领板，因为洗衣服忘记把枪拿出来，搞坏了洗衣机。。就怎么看都觉得很荒诞，问题是 人家的动作设计真的很认真和出彩，最后的搏击战，加入拳击要素，简直就是high
有点儿意思，但也就只是有一点，不过女主和女配我可太喜欢了！属于是顶级辣妹了。
好垃圾的开锁前传，没get到什么有意思的，故事也就那样，也就开锁部分能看，很有点无聊
这个影片告诉我们，无论干多大的事，仪式感也绝对是必不可少的。不过最后码头对峙那点，怎么可能只来了一个警察？这真的不合理...男主呢，作为一个普通得不能再普通的小职员，瞬间就会开快艇...还是有我喜欢的地方的，开头男主作为小职员的一天的描述，雨中吃午餐，画面很美，后来辗转的各个城市，也都很美，尤其是布拉格那个银行的取景地，是疫情前最后一次旅游曾经到过的地方，怀念的情感瞬间喷涌而出。
不好看，剧情特别随意，但是也比活死人军团好看
闹着玩儿似的抢银行剧，编剧唯一的新意在于糅合瓦格纳歌剧和德国古老传说，没再挖墙脚钻下水道，也不像《纸钞屋》那样直接上高精尖重武器炸金库，技术地去开艺术品级别的保险箱了，顺道夹杂段酸酸甜甜三角恋。算得上制作精良商业片，顺道把巴黎、布拉格和圣莫里茨的实景炫一下，对比来，最后的地点加州又土又破。
不可能是扎克导演吧！水准像三流导演，拍的不咋地！为啥偏得开着卡车解锁密码，不停下来，赶紧解锁完，不好吗？拍的情节拖泥带水，不是为了钱，那是为了啥？为了乐呵！！2星吧！给了扎克导演。。。。剧情太弱
开篇背景引入尚可，开篇技能点满，没看出男主的成长；没有日常，角色与感情基础单薄，难以共情；没有案前讨论就直接开干，都在劫案前才解答问题和推演步骤。
第一次觉得Nathalie Emmanuel这么漂亮，果然发型的影响很大，权游和速激里都是爆炸头，确实丑了点。德国小哥居然是导演，未来可期啊，演的很棒，导的也不错，美中不足是开锁简单了点，差了口气，略失传奇性。
确实不错，紧张刺激。值得一看，男主不错，女主不搭。
