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.
不过导演都没有深挖。总归还是一部不错的喜剧。
比想象的好看一些 点开之前以为是撑不了十分钟的美式校园 结果还是笑着看完了
整体还挺不错的，就是喜欢这个简单欢乐的chick flick
有点虎头蛇尾了，不过还是挺适合下班后看看的。#喜剧 #90sPop
[视]亚马逊流媒体。<意外的幸运签>，有泰国版，无功无过，整体氛围轻松，颜值不如王源，多人合饰一角，校凌、lgbt元素，你喜欢的和喜欢你的
除了第一段校园舞蹈的惊喜让人惊喜，其余冷漠脸看完。
2.5给前半部分，很美式复古了，后半段节奏很糟糕，独领风骚的艾希莉亚惊喜客串！
有欢乐，有主题，很不错了。就是现在基真的就这么多吗？？？
哎！比心😂。
看过重返十七岁，倒是头一次看直接穿越到三十七岁，不过和青春倒是丝毫不违和。欢笑和感动同在。
满分！喜欢这种活力满满无坏人但又不过于理想化的电影
海星 看到Martha Reiser长大后姬达响不停 直到她在车上说I’m gay 有点太准惹 另外无论是和高中陪伴到成年的Martha 或者是和死仇的女儿 都比和男一有兴趣点其实☹️
电影里Aeroplane这首歌谁有呀，好好听，搜不到
略显无聊的chickflick 唯一亮点对我来说是Brit的青春梦想最后变成开lyft的alicia silverstone的时候 突然有种超现实的割裂感 但她还是好美哦
满分！喜欢这种活力满满无坏人但又不过于理想化的电影
人生是一场漫长的寄宿生活，多爱自己久一点。这是一部开头知结尾的作品，没有太多波澜不惊，所有的情绪你都能猜到，不过长尾初主演，演技还是略微生涩，八木可太好看了。
差点半途而废。经典美式校园场面和回归题材都很老套。但鉴于饭没吃完，看到后面发现是青春教育片，虽说一切探讨浅尝辄止，但还是蛮鼓舞人心的。该说不说某种程度我的确很羡慕学校的包容度。
美式低俗理想化，纯属为了追忆那些年看的美式校园青春题材电影情怀，是我想多了
虽然剧情很老套 但看完感觉还挺有意思的 笑点也蛮多的 看完感觉蛮开心的
抛开那些强行正直正确的设定，整部片子还是非常能让人乐呵起来的。音乐选的真不错！
