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.
知道会无聊，没想到这么无聊。最有趣的是跟拍的摄影师。
旧瓶换新酒很老套的爱情片，不过歌几好听，欧文在片中的老派作风几搞笑，情人节的晚上看收货！
什么鬼片子...哦 真是鬼片子......2022年了大哥...还能有点更烂的剧情吗...爱情鬼片就这些梗跳不脱了是吧...求求了... 一星给女主...
蛮欢乐的先‘婚’后爱的喜剧爱情电影，歌是真的好听，剧情温情套路化，中规中矩，温情依旧美式。
故事挺老套的 如果知道是这个中文名 应该不会想看吧 女主不咋好看……
全片开头最好看，但也挺好玩。BTW真难以想象詹妮弗竟然已经52了，欧美明星这个年纪里算保养最好的了吧。

"You know what?I'm not gonna judge whatever journey you're on.It's not what I'm looking for,and I hope you never do it to anybody else ever again."跟结婚骗感情的男友分手吵的让人忍不住笑起来，亲身经历过去这十年的氛围变化后，往日多么可怕的trauma如今真的能如此轻松的放下，并不轻佻，diversity配得上Netflix的圣诞节了。很欢乐，也蛮感同身受，出柜了并不会就完全轻松了，我现在每次跟师父、前辈吃饭，都要先一脸期待的问我有没有遇到人，要加油，跟异性恋被催婚一模一样的。加一颗星给台词，不是漫威那种乱插科打诨的胡闹，就很干净的活泼。
女版“霸道总裁爱上我”，男主的鼻子太抢镜了。
希望Joey能从童星转型成功吧。Kyle前半段初遇和One day（or one night？）简直一摸一样。 还行吧。
中年romcom蛮好看的诶！歌也都很好听，JLo状态太好了
其实我觉得这是一个非常男性向的故事，天呐，热辣女明星强行要嫁给普通数学老师，做大梦！但可能JLo太美太辣自信从容整个追爱就是非常女王，好甜哦呜呜呜呜，被封家里看这个超级治愈
大失所望。作为圣诞剧，剧情cliché不是你的错，但是做到如此僵硬和甜度稀薄就是你的不对了。
特么好做一女的。各种别扭。香肠嘴越看越烦。
够无聊嗲…是我长大了吗？这部爱情片太无聊了吧
男主很优秀啊，喜欢；女主很拉胯，不好意思，我就是要肤浅的说我不喜欢女主这类。星星都是给男主的塑造，电影情节有点矫情😂。 btw，男主真的好像Brad Pit啊
不错的片子，熬过了前面的铺垫到结尾你就能够明白导演想要表达的不仅仅只是跨越生死之间的爱情了，还有你自己，正式自己的过去和灵魂。救赎自己，原谅自己与自己和解。
情人节档期，希望用一部浪漫言情片可以往一汪死水般的中年生活里扔几条活鱼。看完吧，情感共鸣不多，歌曲都挺好听，不过依旧是挺老套的剧情，很多增进感情的桥段也蛮无趣的，全程就靠男主女主的表演来控场了。其实这就是诺丁山一般的剧情，但是好莱坞已经不会拍了，小失望。
七荤八素的拼盘，掺杂些揶揄自嘲，看似知音故事会，实为平台展销会。
剧情太平了（只有我从男主脸上看出了川普吗…
