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.
分低了，虽然俗，但拍得还是很爽，场面已经超英了。。。
是人是鬼都在秀 只有高斯林在挨揍 再加上太多穿梭机镜头了 差点以为是在看迈克尔贝的电影
酣畅淋漓……美队小胡子像墨西哥人是怎么回事
如果忽略剧情的严重不合理，单就演员来说还是可以的，后半部分打的太离谱了。
前半段还可以其实，尤其是开篇五彩缤纷火树银花的曼谷之战，作为动作片场景来讲颇有想象力，后面就每况愈下了，尤其是从布拉格开始，节奏控制有问题，打斗已经看得太疲劳了…
罗素兄弟的超燃动作片，美队演了个做作的反派其演技堪比“美版谢霆锋”
where is everyone's charisma?
2亿美元成本都花在外景地门票、机票和住宿了吗？全靠高司令和美队的腔调表演撑到了最后，否则一路崩。场面是低配版《美国队长》，剧本也愚蠢至极，罗素兄弟把马克·格雷尼的原著小说改得面目全非。有必要先提一下格雷尼，其是汤姆·克兰西的“指定继承人”，续写了多部克兰西宇宙的小说，与美海军陆战队退役军官合写过第三次世界大战背景的小说《红铜》，有战术射击和驾驶等技能，也是情报机关、执法机构和武装部队的常客，典型的偏好大局观的严肃军事惊悚小说家。而罗素兄弟糊弄式改编，却导致故事与角色毫无戏剧关联性，文戏可看性极差，原著的特质仅存于高司令和美队的表演。勿拿《碟中谍》《谍影重重》《浪人》《疾速追杀》对比，《灰影人》是纯粹的骗钱/捞钱片，因为它在浪费原著的同时，几乎没有花任何功夫去立人设、世设。多一星给干净的视觉。
总体比较套路，高司令和克里斯的表现也都中规中矩。但是广场混战和电车追逐是近期看过最刺激的动作戏。
就这水准还敢标榜《碟中谍》？罗素兄弟的脑袋怕不是秀逗了吧。人物行为动机不明，动作戏一盘散沙，剧情推进全皆是似曾相识的情节套拍，这种电影出现在2022年还想征服观众完全就是「痴人说梦」（远不如同日出的《犯罪都市2》更有诚意）。高投资（两亿刀）电影为什么总是令人失望透顶，高斯林+美队的组合几乎让人完全失去欲望甚至看着难受，除了文本之外，Netflix是不是该思考些什么呢？目前看来，就这拉胯的玩意，还是别拍2了。
史上最贵，真是不能理解…特效都很五毛的感觉…
好听点说是老派，说不好听点是套路化的流水线。虽然用了大规模的明星阵容，故事情节其实很老，重火力时代的打法，实际上的高科技很少，身手其实很少，但是枪战太抢演员的戏！
鲁索兄弟看来还在找状态，一切都不协调。扔进来一堆复杂设定再全扔掉看似反类型，其实全是干扰；人物看似量身打造反模式化，其实还是MCU式的传统典型撒调料；故事线非要把两条捏在一起，fmv没有意义……就连一向擅长的阴谋论也丢了魂。好在火药场面串联得顺畅，一路看下来捏着鼻子的次数并不多。推荐给所有喜欢看红火的朋友。
高司令的淡定和冷酷以及打不死和神勇令人绷不住要发笑那种的惊为天人。（美队为啥最近演了好多反派角色泥？
然而个人仍然推荐本片，因为在特工动作类型片中已经太久没有如本片这样在各方面都能达到及格以上水准的作品了，而本片完全有望成为又一系列电影的序章。
扯。夸张。除了爆米花就是爆米花。不过可以看。剧情老套。旅游片
网飞肯定有个什么剧本机器人，每个角色、每个桥段、每个镜头都有无数蓝本。当然了，高司令还是很帅，足以让我看完。
to网飞：有钱也别乱花啊！正如网友所言克里斯·埃文斯果然是周树人造型啊哈哈哈，罗素兄弟何必呢，简直是在力图证明美队2的成功不是自己的功劳....安娜妹子依然很能打，可怜的一堆莫名被破坏的好建筑好地方啧啧
就是以前一年大概会有1到2部的“动作大片”，能在电影院消磨时间那种。however，现在只能在家看一看
睡着了一会儿，确实只有打打打。CE打扮成钢铁侠他爹的样子一下没认出来，还是听声音才认出来的。虽然是肯化前的高司令，这部也不太帅。
