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.
I love you , always have, and always will, 泪目
没有猎奇式的阴谋和反转，就是讲述科技如何以人为本的温暖故事。
情感很动人～总觉得克隆人会作妖，可能被以前的片子所固化了～所以我觉得这种诠释挺好的～彼此尊重，为了爱人～
可能人类本身就是一种人工智能机器，肉体是硬件，基因是芯片，意识和记忆是储存卡。如果复制硬件，重新插入芯片和储存卡，那到底算是重生还是克隆？？
非常圆角矩形审美，质感不错。但是太中规中矩了，宁愿真的发生点什么
人类还是多学习怎么告别吧，逃避可耻，反对复制
演技一流，没有什么抓马的剧情，最后带来的妻子的告白也太感人了。
故事还是不错的.另一个自我存在的恐惧与困惑表现的挺好的.但设定上一个问题，都能创造完美复制体，为啥癫痫治不了.这个技能树总感觉长得不对.
劣：人都能造出来了，病还治不好~亚洲那姐妹，记得挺恶心的，卖丑博眼球~所谓的科学家，一副圣母表情，所作所为也挺逆自然的~
过去的一切
究竟是什么定义了“我”的存在，身体和记忆完全一致，生物连续性和社会连续性丝毫不影响，这难道不是“我”么？看起来百利无一害的选择，“我”有什么可抗拒呢？除了自私、领地概念，还有什么不可接受的呢？真喜欢这种未来社会细节啊，家居、无人汽车、手表都像是很快就能实现的
电影很有质感，故事不老套，还有悬疑的部分，很吸引人。声音、配乐、音效让人印象十分深刻，很赞👍
科技是把双刃剑，它造福人类的同时，也在消解人类的唯一性。我，是可以替代的，那么他者也是可以替代的，换一个角度来说，还有什么是唯一的需要珍惜的？电影立意是很好，以爱之名去克隆一个自己来继续爱家人，然后孤独地痛苦地离开。也许我或者你都愿意活在这样永远被爱的生活里，但这是在自己不知情的情况下，如果你知道人可以被替代，他者的消失还会给你带来难以承受的痛苦吗？那么还有必要去克隆人吗？
（8.5分）质感像天鹅绒般细腻。电影以克隆人凭借力，展开一个男人未亡时最后的挣扎。翠色的远峰深处，潺潺的雪水源头，与世隔绝的智能小屋，内外景和服化道以及配乐共同致力于塑造软科幻的世界，编织起主人公焦灼绝望的情绪。“死亡以痛吻我，我却报之以天鹅挽歌”。马赫沙拉·阿里的表演当仁不让地以一己之力支撑起影片的骨架，一半是火焰，愤怒地燃烧又自顾自喑哑地熄灭，一半是海水，仿生学般精确、克制却深邃，作为演员遇到这样的剧本是真的幸运。略可惜是导演没有在神秘的三人公司上做更多文章，如果不是格伦最后的两行泪相当于盖棺定论，阴谋论一下也是极好的。
83/100。2021的科幻片里我看过最好的一部。满满的《黑镜》既视感。我本来对这部电影是没有什么期待的，但它给了我一个大大的惊喜。全片的运镜都很美，很有科幻感。克隆人的题材已不新鲜，但马赫沙拉·阿里的表演将一个平常的故事变得触动人心。淡去了对伦理的探讨，以“爱”为内核贯穿全片，本片显得非常温情。为了爱、为了让所爱之人幸福，你愿意被替代、在异地孤独地离开人世吗？
科幻外壳下的温情片，人始终在学习的是道别。
故事戛然而止，仅可以作为黑镜中的一集的程度。
看着珍爱的它们离去，却无能为力，这就是挽歌吧。
观影过程中，脑海的故事已经与这部电影无缝链接了。
阿里的演技代入感太强啦！电影后半段非常感人！
