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.
剧情从头到位都有点扯，不过环球出品的这个爱情音乐类型片给观众们的感受，我感觉应该是到位了。音乐满分，轻喜剧和爱情渲染也都不错。豆瓣这分数有点低了，烂番茄观众评分都九十多。
不需要带啥脑子看的都市童话故事，轻松下不错，歌也可以，Jlo阿姨好像还蛮偏爱这种题材，，，想起几年前的天后助理也差不多是这样
看着感觉挺甜的~ JLO真的好美~这部电影完全适合她~服装也很好看~
三星半。挽救了一下我那个寂寂无聊的周五下班后。
Shit movie!!! 前半段还行，后面剧情越来越无语，女主一张丧婆脸，好像全世界都欠她的一样，不知感恩，对养父母态度太差了，抱着小清新爱情片的心态来看的朋友，请止步
所以孤独的人是可耻的，是咎由自取，一切的根源是自私、自我，是一种恶行……
哪怕照猫画虎学着烂俗爽文拍也不会让人昏昏欲睡 / “嫁”与marry含义不同 新译名不如《和我结婚》
两个男主角的情感，还有归乡的话语都太像直人写出来的，但作为圣诞电影确实甜蜜。Luke真养眼
毫无任何惊喜与意外，都在预料范围内，欧文老了以后感觉都脱相了，再也没有看上海正午那时候那样帅了
哈哈，我其实挺喜欢詹妮弗洛佩兹的，长得让人有点想立棍，可惜电影拍的烂也演的烂
很美式的八卦電影，歌也很一般，不如A star is born.
对电影情节不怎么感兴趣，爱看女主唱歌，如果放映一场女主的演唱会我会打五星。怎么就没人在影院放映演唱会呢，影音效果太好了。
気軽に観られる一本。かなりくさいけど、嫌いじゃないかも。音樂用得有點多餘。以及果然大家都想到一塊兒去，年齡往下設置、年代推移到更近的Ghostなんだよな笑 談戀愛的部分還是挺可愛的。
3.5 还可以，剧情比较老套禁不起推敲，但是谈不上尴尬，制作精良，观看体验还可以，詹劳好美好有魅力，舞台太绝了
与其单身到底，不如姐妹磨β。(Luke我抱走惹)
烂俗rom com 可是J. Lo也太美了！
哎哎这种棒棒糖电影还要求什么呢？Nick抱走
普普通通正正常常的无脑爱情喜剧，看完会觉得很开心的那种。
…女主长得好像Eileen Gu
介于尬与好看之间 (马鹿马好帅 接漏也好努力 马上她的纪录片也要出了)
