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.
我觉得对于小成本做的真不错诶，就是推理弱了点。但是因为选用华裔，加一星。
3星，6分
救赎和自我救赎。剧情推进很快，开始我以为是公路惊悚片，后来是封闭环境犯罪片。一些反转可能是想说，没有完美的受害者和英雄吧。
勉强两星。基本上按《王牌特工》模式来的，高手带菜鸟套路，两演员远没有前者好笑。
有点儿为了突出女主光环的感觉…为什么杀人不干净留有后手啊！不过亚裔能接到这个本子真值得鼓励。
女主角的血性传达得到位，在惊悚元素上至少不愚蠢，有精彩的章节
索尼在迎合誰，笑死了，你又不是在一個沒有分級制的國度出片，更廣汎的觀衆？心智沒成熟的雛鷄還是一年看不夠10部片子的假影迷？不讓郭達接下片子拍成R级就冲索尼這句話給你2星見鬼去吧，多一星是懷念郭達的怒火攻心，爹怕你驕傲了索尼。
片子及格甚至值得四星，唯独用毒品减轻疼痛纯扯淡。口服毒品不是麻醉剂，吃了瞬间不疼，还能保持理智……就很扯淡……口服麻醉品一般都有生效时间，而且作用很难精确，所谓止痛，代价往往是失去理智，止痛往往也将疼痛扭曲为其他感觉。这里不如突出痛感，突出人性，而不是抖机灵，让一个坚持戒毒的人放弃戒毒，从而自救。不吸毒就死，吸毒为了更好生活，这样的选择题不道德也不机灵。吸毒的人才会，人不人，鬼不鬼。
Kevin像在演电影版脱口秀，郭达不接这部戏是非常正确的，山P帅不过三秒。
演员们都演技不错哎，最后半小时反转反转再反转，结尾在戒毒所看着墙上的画那个镜头我内心一句WTF，别是个非常嫌疑犯一样的故事啊，不过下个镜头就看到Jay画的画了。好奇主角妹妹棕发灰眸是混血还是少数民族呀。
整体不错，没想到给一个海军陆战队员铺垫那么多，最后就这么挂了。
坏人死于话多，一部惊悚片拍的却不让人紧张，就太easy了，不算上佳，但可以看看
没想到还有山下智久。。。哈哈哈。。。不过出场少了些。
女主很可以！疼痛发出的声音很真实了！拔出钉头这种事也是对自己狠的亚裔才能做的了😂
傻逼女主，又丑又蠢，发现小女孩后做的每一个决定几乎都是错误的，在手里有枪，绑匪因为误杀同伙精神恍惚的时候不朝绑匪开枪反而选择逃走，后面挨警察一枪一点儿不冤，咋不打死你呢？
一个刁蛮的有钱人家的女孩被绑架了，一群人被飓风封锁在一个游客休息站。故事开始了。
演员很在线，故事节奏、构图画面和音乐都调控的很不错，后半部分高潮迭起，善最后战胜恶，虽剧本是老套路，但效果已经很不错了
6.5分，小空间的恐怖片，成本如此，一个晚上，5、6个人物之间，线索有反转有冲突，不功不过。有些段落还挺血腥的，女主算是智商在线，不过有几次关键时刻略显犹豫，但是抗击打能力犹如战神转世可能磕点药也是个原因，战斗直觉堪称完美。不管在小女孩眼里还是观众眼里就是超级英雄。女主应该与父亲关系非常亲密，父亲战后饮弹自尽对女主产生毁灭性打击，于是女主自我放弃沉迷毒品。相信这次以后女主会找回自己，继续勇敢精彩地活下去。
女主亚裔演得也很好，可惜剧本的反转基本都在预料之内，结尾甚至有点离谱...毒品镇痛+提高战力的水平这么强？？
三星半吧。低成本暴风雪山庄式惊悚玩出还不错的一波三折、反转甚至一点小血腥，亚裔女主演技不错智商在线反击也够狠。不过除去女主外的两组人能正好被困在一个休息站里有点牵强。
