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.
后半段确实…崩坏得很严重…五岁小孩怎么拿起猎枪的…女主演技很好
7点5分吧，剧情少有点刻意，再打磨打磨就好了。布洛克演技真不错
故事的核心我可以get到。可人设稍微没立好的感觉。角色太多又没有起太大作用。（主要最大的悬念也太好猜了
结局就这样？纯粹为了给女主秀演技的吧……其他点都是浅浅的点到为止
剧情反转的那一刻，突然感觉之前的沉闷，慢节奏，突然都有理有据了。那么长的铺垫，20年的隐忍，就为了这一刻感情的决堤与爆发。才发现最近看的电影竟然都是网飞的，虽然电影的最终归属是大屏幕，但网飞的确给电影制作带来了太多的机会。
我还以为不可饶恕的是女主，或者是女主的仇家，结果原来是弟弟
是我喜欢的调调，比起相信掌握命运，我更相信面对命运的无力与无奈。只是如果没有提前看结局，我可能撑不到最后。主动看剧透后，还是有动力看下去的。所以纠结4星还是5星
女主一直隐忍着自己的情绪，只有见到自己妹妹的那一刻，情绪迸发了出来！
前面剪辑的相当零散 但节奏却刚刚好 直到最后拼接起来 感染力也相当的丰富 最后姐妹相认
没有前提的爱是存在的。
后面的反转会让前面流于表面的剧情合理且深刻。
6.5/10
看女主给养父母发火 真是无语。妹妹啊 这又是谁的错的？兄弟俩明显哥哥帅 果然戏份多些
截取翻拍的这一段还是很扎心 剧本存在一些瑕疵距离冲奥有不小的距离 但最抢眼的依然是桑德拉布洛克的表演 即使十年前就已经有影后加持 这次依然值得小金人的褒奖 有几幕戏剪辑的特别工整 闪回的情节却可以商讨 这个故事当中的每个角色交代的不是特别清楚 除了主角外的情感流向也不是很清晰有说服力
被炒的沸沸扬扬，一定会是今年奥斯卡最佳女主角，看后结果不尽人意。
没有反转前的剧情其实就挺好的，这已经是我今年看过的第三部讲述出狱人员重返社会的故事了（前两部分别是浊水漂流和美好的世界），从表演的角度说，桑婆可以碾压吴镇宇，略差于役所广司，整个片子的氛围比另外两部都要沉重和压抑一些，女主的处境更加孤立无援，而快到结尾处出现的反转，以及反转之后的情节可以说充满了抓马，编剧试图用反转来加深女主的悲剧性，但这个反转实在太欠缺说服力了。PS：这片里面的角色领悟能力都这么强的吗，通过一个眼神一句话就能get到重点。
布阿姨的演技太棒了。无助有故事的眼神。
女主20年前为啥不找个年轻人演，跟她6岁的妹妹看起来像娘俩，其实20年后也像。
拍得细腻，桑姐演得细腻。 // 比较典型的生活化悬疑，露丝冲老家之前我还真没想过是这种发展。 // 被保护得那么好的妹妹，有没有些当今美国人的影子？ // 结尾妹妹要是不认识露丝就好了……哎呀我真残忍。 // PS 又是一部没有人错的电影，那到底谁错了呢？
姐妹相拥的刹那，一切过去，坚持是否值得？！
