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.
such a cliche，达咩Netflix的电影
老套的爱情片，望开头知结尾。但是某些细节的刻画很有意思，如男主之前的交友app照片，倒是很有些不一样的意味。PS.原来是个超新的片，网飞这么早就开始出圣诞电影了吗
和love actually的连结 加一星
Love doesn't have to be perfect, it has to be honest.
But then the insecurities creep in, and you start with a slight exaggeration. Still you, just a shinier version. But… you like it. So you tweak it just a little more until the real you, which was probably pretty great to begin with, is unrecognisable. / I’ve been so focused on other people’s dishonesty that I never really stopped to look at my own.
奈塔丽对猕猴桃过敏的时候，在酒吧唱歌那段真的笑死，表现狂魔表哥欧文也超级搞笑😅😅😅
这部片针对华人群体，大数据显示nina的吸血鬼日记在华人群体中受众极大。网飞就这么通过大数据确定了女主角？特别强调女主交往过very good in bed的beijinger，这是在对抗什么stereotype大家心知肚明，就是有点太过刻意。整体来说就是部俗到不行的爽文。
他喜欢的电影Love Actually 她喜欢的电影Die Hard， 所以叫Love Hard？也能叫Die actually 哈哈。前半部分 Jimmy O. Yang还是很有意思的 后半部分就很Christmas了。总体一般 作为圣诞电影还ok
很甜蜜耶 我喜欢！love actually真的不是我的type，还不如这个hh
女主是有点老了，这个跟男主最后爱上的情节，我实在有些难以下咽，对不起
网飞味太重了 角色发展太他妈突然了 当观众是笨蛋吗？网飞是默认自己的受众群体都不爱思考吗？可能是的。
欧阳万成还是演搞笑脱口秀比较好玩儿。。甜甜吻戏真的看不下去😂
中规中矩的爱情喜剧，从海报可以看出结局的那种。加一星给josh改良版的not so rapey 的歌😂
Love actually is my favorite Christmas movie. Die hard is not a Christmas movie.
驴唇不对马嘴的剧情竟然还给我看感动了。搞笑的是从头看到尾一直以为是Lily Collins演的，直到看到演员表，竟然是吸血鬼日记女主。
非常规cp的组合 虽然有很多戏谑 但攀岩的部分 蜡烛的故事 以及不免致敬了love actually的桥段 让我还是awww了 一个有点特别的圣诞电影
so typical cheesy Hollywood christmas movie………
Jimmy O’ Yang能耐了啊。。剧情cliché but still kinda cute
今年的第一部圣诞电影🥳。俗套但是看的过程很舒服温暖的电影，最后love actually的套路还是被感动到了。欧阳乃文很惊喜，nina瘦脱相了但还是好美。虽然电影是关于透过外表注重彼此性格脾气是否相符合的主题，但是带入生活里，丑陋且无趣的男人比比皆是，但凡有像男主角这样温柔体贴的就是屎里淘金。结合众多美女配丑男的现象，我不能打高分。
