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.
我觉得影片要表达的内容很多，当然主线小人物不畏强权成功反杀确实令人振奋。而智能系统将个人隐私暴露在光天化日之下值得深思，我们便捷了操作，方便了生活，简单了行动模式，但带来的是彼此赤裸裸的活在网络里！
很一般，没场面，没情节，最后女主发飙杀人反转太快。连续剧都不如。
对里面涉及到的案子一点也不感兴趣，拍得也比较无聊，和弱智，只想看社恐如何表现和变化的，蓝发粉发都好酷。
在后疫情背景下，用AI“kimi”的概念讲述了一个媒介焦虑、女性焦虑的故事，剧本、拍摄和表达很流畅，出门不出门成为女主的改变，而第一次出门的契机成为核心主题——女性互助与媒介反叛，是一部与时代同轨又反扣经典的好作品。
索德伯格时不时会兴之所至，随手拍些小电影。
为什么我喜欢的电影分这么低？因为我很特别！我觉得电影超级不错，剧情虽然简单，但是非常低成本，拍摄手法和镜头也非常细腻，角度拍摄特是做足了功课，音乐也配的超级棒。质感不凡的小成本影片，性价比非常高的电影。整个基调装修风格，人物特写！我爱死了，很文艺很有质感的小小黑暗悬疑片。豆瓣还是很难接受小众又多元电影，非要逼格高，内容真实……
短小精悍 结局反杀还是蛮爽的 女主善良勇敢聪明
妈妈聊天
有些镜头看着就很不舒服 剧情也一般 打发时间看完的
zoe is completely my type of bitch's look
有緊張但是也刻板。社恐傍牆走幾分鐘後壓迫感不再，謀殺清晰後的走向開始可預見。口罩消毒會有代入感，牙齦發炎又不得解。
一部开始就可以报警的电影 硬拖一个多小时烂片
很好看，疫情期间看很应景，理想主义+工人阶级的胜利
整体质感比现在电视剧还低成本，真的电视电影那感觉...但表演和导演做得还算可以了。毕竟典型的set up和play off做得到位的片。但也仅此而已
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。
我就想问，替女主挡刀子的男人终究成为了一无所有的舔狗？
每当现实此刻发生的和电影如此相同时，挺绝望的
有点无聊，除了社恐女主说话的语气好像一个社恐朋友lol
四平八稳，平平无奇。幸好女主和摄影，光线质感还算不错
冲动四星 让我冲动
