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.
甜蜜恋人希腊旅行，车祸后女又死去，生存下来的男主意外卷入希腊政治派别争斗，被暗杀中逃亡最终干掉坏人们！编剧真是心大，男主一次跳悬崖，一次跳高楼，还都没死爬起来就开打，真乃神人也！丹泽尔华盛顿儿子主演，坎妹戏份太少也太腻歪了！逃亡途中还算曲折，其余剧情一般！
约翰大卫华盛顿演的还是比较拼的，全片几乎一直在跑，在哭，在一直处于危机四伏的状态。片里的剧情如果真实发生的话那实在是太吓人，在异国他乡旅游意外出车祸，女友死了，自己却被当地的反政府组织和警察追杀，甚至逃到自己国家的大使馆里去也差点被外交官杀了，太绝望。算是部合格的惊悚片，可以一看，但别抱太多期待。
糊里糊涂惹上绑架案，竟然还牵扯到美国官员。影片的组织结构有问题。
我以后说的男主女主都是按照戏份多少来定的，如果戏份差不多/不准确，我会直接说名字）
美式网大，男主poker face，吃不了演戏这碗饭
其实很多伏笔细节可以处理的更好，可惜流于表面了。男主在希腊是得到了力量之神的眷顾了嘛？
中间还行。片头和女友部分太长了。小黑开始两三次击败对方也不捡装备？可怜的当地老头。小黑一次次逃脱，主要原因还是对方也没大费周章。前半部分被追一直逃命还有点刺激的
总以后下个情节会有精彩，但实际就是平淡如水的倒霉蛋被莫名追杀，奋力反杀。
好莱坞编剧真心越来越垃圾。现在已经无所谓到从几层楼跳下精准砸中汽车并且毫发无伤爬起来继续打人的程度了。
女主上线十分钟就便当了……然后一个普普通通的美国游客就变成了希腊的Jason Bourne……而且犯罪动机就……蛮无语的。
剧情、配音都够差的，不紧张也不刺激，看了开头知道结尾那种。
有亮点，但细节逻辑有些不忍直视。而且最后我个人觉得仓促。
前面一半还行，虽然剧情老套也还能将就看，后面就扯淡了，这么多训练有素的特工打不过一个零基础的主角，子弹打穿了肚子屁事没有而且还能从五楼跳下来正好落在快速行进的车上而且自己还能没事还能收拾一个特工，这特么简直拍成了科幻片！
悬疑心理拿捏得还算到位，剧情方面高开低走了。Beckett受了枪击又被捅了几刀还能飞檐走壁，这怕是钢铁人现世了。
【1】配乐风格让我想到了A24(如A24的《女巫》、《灯塔》、《遗传厄运》和《仲夏夜惊魂》等)。
感觉男主跑了一个多小时都不知道在躲避谁，最后从四五层高的停车场跳下去居然一点事没有也是够夸张了，我当时以为是要以死相救了。不好看。
6.3分。比较写实的剧情惊悚片，但停车场跳车简直是败笔，让唯一的优点写实的部分也荡然无存了！我鄙视白左，只要是黑鬼被虐的我都是欢迎的！就算是华盛顿的儿子也没用。哈哈😂
小黑是克星 ，害死了女友不说，车祸却卷入了 当地一场政治阴谋 ，接着被步步追杀 ，每次却又奇迹逃生 ，影片设计过于乖巧 ，有些弄巧成拙了 ！
冲着坂本龙一和厄运看的。男主就是悲催啊～动乱的国家也很悲催～暗无天日
前半部分希腊的原始风景加上优秀的摄影精致配乐俨然小众艺术片可惜后来节奏拖沓故事平庸变成电视剧感觉
