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.
剧情看到这，不合逻辑，如果想看出狱后这样影片，看一下2021年日本电影《美丽新世界》，那才是炸裂式演技。
“当你看到那些并非生来就享受你这般权益的人时，不妨考虑宽恕他们亦或是再给他们一次机会。”
张弛有度，收放自如！
改编自2009年英剧，Netflix出品2021年末佳作！虽然有些淡化了妹妹凯蒂成长后的经历，但故事线的多角度，使观众更能感受到人性的冲击和社会的阶级化对立！最后姐妹俩的拥抱，关于记忆和真相已不再重要！桑姨表现太精彩了，如果可以请把小金人给她！
Sandra Bullock是好莱坞所有女星当中我唯一确信 绝对在真实生活中是个大好人的
桑德拉·布洛克真的太好了。躺椅交谈那处的眼神真的太好了。隐忍，坚忍，不说。
为了妹妹健康成长，选择扛起罪行，背负一切。
虽然叙事效率不高，支线也支离破碎，但桑德拉·布洛克的表现却无可挑剔，最后一幕的情感力量十分强大。三星。
这结局处置太细腻了，对女主一个多小时的隐忍给出了最完美的答案

无语了，什么法盲会给五岁小孩顶罪呀，警察也是傻x嘛，不做火药测试的嘛…… sandy演的还是很好的
Sandra Bullock演技真好，演出了服刑人员出狱后那种生活的窘迫和压抑，剧情一般，其他角色非常符号，结尾不错~3.5
桑德拉布洛克演技太赞。这故事其实也无解，饶恕从来就是件很难的事情。
"She was only five years old."
没人关心受害者及受害者家属，包括旁观者和施暴者。通常地，所有人的视角里没有受害者，没有受害者家属。
由于节奏缓慢，剧情过度无聊，看半小时就弃剧了
牛啊桑婆牛啊！！这不得奖说不过去了吧！想念西雅图😢/不可饶恕的是做出了错误选择的自己
这么套路的故事讲得挺好了，总是觉得不适，可能是因为这故事的内核还是一个（类似）伟大母亲的牺牲。
前面那一组故弄玄虚的蒙太奇一出来就猜到真相了，故事本身很普通，但是桑德拉布洛克的演技太强了，又是要拿奖的节奏。结尾那个拥抱总算是看到了一点温暖。
剧情基本每个点都猜到了，桑德洛的演技彻底征服我了。
