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.
高过预期，尤其章子怡的部分～
命题作文徐峥满分。“只有喜剧就没有深度，只有悲剧就没有长度”，章子怡这段悲得太纯粹，不止一个情节点可以做结尾。另外，她的表演照《十面埋伏》可真是精进不少。沈腾严重跑题。
个人喜好排名 章子怡>徐峥>吴京>沈腾，章子怡这一篇后劲大到我连续好几天听王菲的片尾曲《如愿》还在默默流泪。
徐峥的似乎更点题，有趣，幽默，满满的韦斯安德森味道，最轻松最放松的一章。
每年国庆都在追这个系列，好在连续三年陪在我身边看这部电影的都是同一个人
哭湿一包纸巾谁懂？都怪黄轩这个男人，演得这么白月光，好父亲好老公，伟大的航天人，为什么却...
看的点映，先是听的阿菲的歌，就觉得非常大气有大爱，电影有四部分前两个很感人，沈腾和徐峥的还是非常搞笑，看完电影再听阿菲的这首歌更加感动
用牺牲精神来歌颂父辈，124父子全都阴阳两隔，还要摆出自我感动那一套，吴京还是战狼发挥，沈腾用抖包袱拍电影简直毫无章法，章子怡代入女性视角增添了些感性，最后还是徐峥最为老练，结合广告诞生拍精明的父辈，春江水暖鸭先知，浦东房子早投资。
夸一夸徐峥，这次非常有惊喜，几个转场轻松愉快，徐峥拿捏的很好，简直自带幽默光环。
帕洛马美、季默配乐加分、看到我女神绿娃照片闪现也很高兴，剧情same thing，虽然每次都看得很潦草，但真说再见还是蛮不舍。
四个小品的水平也是每况愈下，这不能叫电影吧
122号。最喜欢沈腾的，感觉他瘦了好多是不是p图了哈哈哈哈，依旧是开心麻花招牌的笑着开始哭着结束，结局真是没想到…
《乘风》
《鸭先知》
如果可以
7.0
9.29青岛点映 属实一般 搞笑的get不到笑点 歌功颂德部分有点老套
捂着胸口离场，却没有那种发自内心的动容，只是有一点空落落的。确实不是007系列的影迷，即使看过几部，即使非常喜欢《Skyfall》，想起他们，我总是什么都想不起来，或者说，不用思考，也可以概括，就是那样那样的反派那样那样的英雄……脸谱化严重。以及真是讨厌的3D，难道技术在退步吗？记忆里很多年前的3D，也比现在的这几部感觉好。
