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.
最后两点建议：别疲劳驾驶，别去乱的国家。
这丹泽尔华盛顿的儿子就是成龙呀，本来还以为是翻拍之前那部假期惊魂的电影，结果是另一个故事，没有之前的古典神秘主义变成了部惊悚片，前面还挺欧洲的后面越来越美国。时代变了，再也没法拍出《西北偏北》那种味道的片子，还有就是坂本龙一教授做的配乐真棒，氛围营造的超好！
如果最后男主没有变身美国队长，我会多给一星…
节奏有点慢，还以为是文艺片。尺度还是有限制啊，救出小孩之后呢，后面才是最大的悬疑和惊悚吧
就离谱，怎么都不死的男主角，还有典型的金发闭眼反派。
没有很懂政治方面的矛盾，但是男主反正太牛了，因为车祸看到了不该看到的东西，然后各种被追杀暗杀都成功逃脱了还救了小男孩，不得不说他天生就不该是个凡人，一般人估计早就无声无息死翘翘多少回了，同时这说明政治权利之类的是很可怕的东西
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。
漂亮国码农度个假，还得化身蝙蝠侠，帮别国解决政治悬案~
一路看一路奇怪为什么现在的电影配乐这么没有存在感 看评论说是请教授配乐的 再一看 坂本龙一
多亏了坎妹做引子带入剧情，前半段希腊的山区和冬天的雅典有点意思。其他我真的是1.5倍速加跳跃看完都觉得浪费时间。
没什么，就是不好看。死命逃亡，最后还勇斗恶人。
这导演根本没能力拍这种片子，放到三十年前类似亡命天涯题材的导演一大把，只能说现在水平倒退了。
就刚开始我以为是爱情片，后面突然就变成悬疑片，突然又变成政治片。这。。。。一时不知道说啥。就乱。
丹泽尔华盛顿
能够吸引人一直跟着看下来，就是一部不错的电影了，只是里面那啥组织的能力开始很严密，到后面就全变菜鸡了，有点不太讲逻辑
感觉是压了很久的电影，今年才有平台接手，里面的美国使馆还挂的是奥巴马照片。唯一的收获是重温了德尔菲山谷的风景。
原本还有点期待坎妹的反转，没想到居然就真是打了个酱油。男主也算金刚护体了，挨了那么多枪还能上天入地保持活力。
垃圾片，还将近两个小时
事实证明，Netflix的电影小成本和大制作一样不行
美国小强大战希腊Bad Cop.为什么我要浪费我宝贵的两个小时！
