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.
我们不过是一个个可以被查出并且抹掉的device number而已了。想要施以援手，却发现周围的人都被买断。这不就是铁链女的现实版吗，只不过现实里没有这么解气的结局罢了
我竟然不脸盲了，帅黑警总感觉像帅了的张颂文
怪力少女为正义反击黑恶势力 网络时代数据真的很重要 私隐也是
斯蒂文索哥波哥的影片有各种可能性
虽然走的小成本的惊悚片路子，但融合了当下好多现实原素：疫情、社恐、网络安全、智能科技、种族歧视、科技公司的暗黑……后窗般的传统偷窥桥段变成了网络视听的无孔不入，这样的设定挺有意思，观众代入感很强。美中不足的是女主最后反杀虽然借助了一点点语音交互科技的帮助，但主要还是通过传统意义上的大杀器-射钉枪一锤定音，如果换成解除好友那样利用网络和科技手段完成反杀，那本片可以大上个档次。整体故事节奏紧凑，营造惊悚氛围浓厚，特别是现代科技原素的加入让人耳目一新，女主桌面那套装备真是令人眼馋啊！人工智能大数据时代的恐怖可以成为以后电影的重大走向，这样的故事很精彩啊，百看不厌！
抑郁症一直都在我们身边，我们要互相帮助。
追赶社会潮流的史蒂文·索德伯格，可惜是一部空有躯壳的电影，既没有观感刺激也没有思考深度。两星。
没啥意思，唯一有印象的就是漏点了，付出这么大就拍个这？划不来啊
情节真够简单的，女主身材一言难尽，没有果戏留点念想不好吗？
概念有的，前面节奏还算紧凑，后面剧本又糟糕，把控能力也全面坍塌
说实话，剧情我是看懂了。但影片前面大部分时间看的我昏昏欲睡，实在提不起兴趣。影片最后十分钟的反杀，女主真是太酷了！这两颗星就是为了结局给的。
虽然有点儿烂尾，但也算是这两年来看的比较投入的一部
为啥她不直接找FBI呢，险些送命
是让我爽到了的爽片，很喜欢。女儿演的很好，为女儿和配乐多加一分。（但是并不是很推荐。）
一个很好的小点子是撑不起一部好电影的，可以说灵魂脱离是个好点子，但是逻辑不够完整剧情冲突也不那么明显，靠大量的动作和打斗戏来填充未免让人失望。
但剧情还是从一开始就吸引住了我，想知道结局，想知道原因，结局也真的没毛病。
太拖沓了，也就是个短片的体量，华点只有最后10分钟
杀手墨迹墨迹干嘛呢，太业余了。
一个给智能音响提供音频翻译的洁癖社恐女孩无意间在音频里发现了一桩谋杀案，在向上反馈的时候险些被自家公司抓住，后在报案的途中被绑架，幸好得到友好邻居的帮助，没被灭口，最后通过智能音响的操控得以逃脱，并用射钉枪反杀三人，成功揭发这起案件。
三星半。非常在我的审美偏好上 ，尽管女性表达如此直白，疫情背景如此生硬，你就看视听语言：如果室内戏的镜头调度还是一种不新鲜的顺滑感，那么出门后就是全程高能；声音设计非常巧妙贴合于「电脑电影」或「流媒体电影」。最后利用 KIMI 表达我们确实会被集权控制，但个体也有可能利用其本身反制，那个血手点赞直接笑死。
