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.
单纯来看，肯定算是网飞电影里水准比较强的电影，豪华卡司加上精湛演技，让全片看点十足。但是情感渲染上还是差了很多，在传记性的剧情片里算是比较一般的
艾伦索金编导，台词蒙太奇，对白插画面，语言暴力片。7.4
3.5。我还挺喜欢这片，可能是源于特定时间的一些价值认同？但其实，这样的叙述以及正反强烈对比给我造成了一种看爽片的感觉，看完之后只剩下激动了，这与之前的预期存在着一定的落差，不知道是好是坏，也可能只是方向不同吧。
bravo
如果说在这个背离真实的年代，有何可称之为良心的话，我想那只能是过去的发生过的良心——也即这部电影里重述的故事。
“93小时，但好像一辈子了。”
"The whole world is watching."剪辑和节奏太棒了，对揉杂私人恩怨体制的无情讽刺。特别是发现曾经的"队友"实际上是伪装的政府人员，在原告席位作证，讽刺说可能游行队伍的一万人都是便衣警察。
for the present. 但导演真不是谁都能干的…

公知笔下的灯塔国🇺🇸可真是老police state了，民主沦为政治工具since forever。
我惊讶于萨莎·拜伦·科恩能这么正经
反战思潮、嬉皮文化、五月风暴，那是“整个世界都进入了青春期”的六十年代。
酒吧外是20世纪60年代，酒吧内是20世纪50年代，时代正在那些不在意的人眼皮底下发生，你可以选择无视，但全世界都在看
NetFlixe再一次交出一張工整優越的成績單。
在美国大选前放出这电影居心叵测啊。电影从人出发再到人，体现不仅美国政体优势和劣势也体现了作为人的权利。艾伦·索金又一部精彩的庭审故事，开场第一次庭审就张力十足，且勾勒出几位角色的性格。演员台词功力好强剪辑好棒
THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING！剧本剪辑太扎实了，有很多戳人的细节，之前有了解过这段历史，每个角色都塑造的如此成功，海登不愧是能成为体制内的人，最出彩的还是艾比和霍夫曼法官，艾比真的是一个非常有个人魅力的人，嬉皮笑脸的外表下是一颗认真睿智的心和强大的辩才，而这个老法官强硬自我的丑恶嘴脸也让人牙痒，两个小时完全不觉得枯燥，结尾实在是激荡人心！
七君子因一个共同目标而走到一起，在特殊的历史时期罗列一个个事件就足够吸引人，看的热血。第一编剧索金拍出来近年最好看的法庭群相戏。萨莎·拜伦·科恩贡献了生涯最佳演出，是不是喜剧演员在正剧中都这么牛，他在法庭的表现其实远超小雀斑，结尾的设计那音乐一响起这不《春风化雨》吗，太主旋律了。
说鸡确实够鸡，但能做到这么鸡也是人中凤凰了。
