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.
和飞驰人生一样的类型，却远不如飞驰人生的故事性好
剧情实在不是我能理解的
感觉没有第一部好看 可能因为第一部是在电影院看的 更容易代入一些🤣一颗星的友情分 加给这个总算不阴间的结局&我的鹅紫！
太喜欢这类关于东德的政治影片了，从《窃听风暴》来，高分佳片，看得我前面高度凝神，后面泪流满面，时代的悲歌
@institut francais,conscience or obedience, person choice or machine command,old question, mediorce presentation with great leading actor
没想象中那么差，是一眼就看得出的韩寒的个人风格，人文影合一，总是想假装轻松叛逆地谈深沉的大道理，这种六亲不认的中二，虽然太多松散、稚嫩和任性，总归是用了心，真诚去表达，6.5分至少是值得的。
最后把自行车搬上船那一段还是比较搞笑的。没有这一段也就两星。
比第一部好太多了 爆笑又用心 演员们都很投入 以及为这个结局加一星！
比第一部好看，与第一部相比竟然是演出拖了剧本的后腿。最后的那个场景太浪漫了。有点值回票价的感觉。当然，要是让我花钱买电影票看的话，我会更愤怒一点。
据说这个结尾比原作还好
小虫误入蛛网越挣扎网越紧，不是因为lars滤镜，就是普通人的恐惧传达得很好，揪心到最后一枪错愕得想感谢仁慈。
不用批判，所有政权都会如此处理。一丝不挂到焚烧炉长镜头，说得还是生死之事。
还有一些词语故意不翻译，阿b真有你的。
京子哈哈哈哈哈
原创结局竟然编得还行？不过这部基本上没什么头脑战了
吴仁耀、吴仁腾、吴仁爱，这么low的谐音梗估计现在春晚小品都不用了吧？
抛梗挺多，比上一部有进步，真人剧场版原创结局接受度尚可，总体比上一部好多了。
一部即便没有署名导演、编剧，也会让人想到韩寒的作品，个人风格就是这么明显。
是韩寒需要突破自己的风格，不要让观众一看到你就能猜出来电影的格调。最重要的是给我上暑期档，这种片子大学生会喜欢，但春节这个档口也没几个人会想去看。
看了三十分钟，先说说吧，不喜欢刘浩存的声音，在别的地方叫空灵，在这怪怪的；小镇人物故事，穿插着刻意的笑料，半小时还不知道主题说啥。没有美感。//全片看完，莫名其妙，要是春节进电影院看估计会骂街……
