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.
同志版《傲慢与偏见》。为了避免观众产生对性少数群体的刻板印象，选用了多样化的角色，破格选用华裔为主角，却又不知不觉陷入到另一种刻板印象里。看似是展现性少数人士性爱自由的主题，底子里却是最呆板保守的思维，体现在固化的阶级意识与改头换面的异性恋情节设计。原来经典名著也有时代局限性的一面。
海岛风情穿得很少gay版《傲慢与偏见》，开头小说直接出镜，主要角色的设定和剧情走向都能对上。作风狂放，内里仍是老派的爱情和友情故事，浪漫桥段氛围还挺撩
失败之后往往会以为自己是个婊子狗血的放荡不羁，久而久之，习惯了，以为自己不需要爱情了，当爱来的时候，还以为自己不配拥有，特别害怕呢
真的很俗喇但是你还是忍不住看完啊...毕竟是个gay feel good story......
这片也真太死气沉沉了。。。。。。（in a bad sense
You are a liar Charlie,sorry not sorry!
Howie唱Sometimes的part，我竟然跟着流泪了
actually……
你要说它前面没有制造世界末日的压力吧，可它结尾也没有拯救世界后的鲜花和掌声，所以应该是打从一开始就把自己定义成番外了。那还是可以接受的。
正统情怀片，这有快40年了吧？收合怀旧影迷，片尾两个彩蛋加分。但和老版差距明显，笑料和恶搞太少了，后半部又弄得场面太大太严肃，捉几个鬼而已嘛。
gay 版傲慢与偏见，你看，傲慢与偏见真是爱情戏永恒模板
怀念童年的儿童电影，如今40岁的我看到那些老家伙的时候还是有点感动的，希望现在的孩子看了这部依然能有幸福感。

就喜欢这样bitch的傲慢与偏见。好想去火烧岛哦！
这里不存在要不要出柜的挣扎，也不存在被世俗用不同的眼光看待，而是展示即使在同性群体中，寻找爱情、伴侣、认可，其实也不是一件容易的事。但就个人观感而言，同志姐妹间去参加同志派对的场景，以及姐妹间的感情与撕逼状态，没什么特别的亮点，主角也一点都不好看。而且也不知道化妆老师干嘛去了，所有演员的皮肤状态差的一逼。
强卖情怀，让十二岁的女主角拿着上个世纪的武器去打鬼大可不必。
把罐头砸出瘪并不用觉得丢脸，吃甜筒冰淇淋也不会显得没有男子气概。应该羞愧的是有直饮水却非要瓶装污染，不经对方许可就上传了性爱视频。在意你的人可以在斗舞台上跳过时僵硬的舞蹈，守在浴缸里醉酒的你身边为你揉背。种族阳刚腹肌在圈内将个体分出高低，在黄昏码头跳一支到白头的舞才是幸福的标准。
有些很细腻的成分在但是拍得真的不太行 整体演技太捉急了 几个场景过于cringe 人物不知道是怎么做到既stereotype又多余冗杂的 （但还是支持亚
没想到傲慢与偏见的故事原型套在gay story上fits so well！简直把gay圈鄙视链展现的淋漓尽致，虽然最后还免不了是一个gay fairytale，一个poor asian/not even hot gay能和一个有钱帅白男在一起，i mean，天方夜谭。但整部电影看完还是很开心的，马上想开启自己的gaycation！
