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.
属于那种上了一周的班想要通过看电影放松，又紧张又不紧张，需要想又无脑的那种
莫斯科男人，东京男人还有两兄弟来围攻男主们的那一段打斗真的拍的挺不错的，非常经常。不过好莱坞这种主角身份被搞错被fbi派去执行任务的剧情真是拍不够啊
出乎意料地還不錯，氛圍十足故事圓滿。亞裔女主小小眼睛還挺有戲。
小成本小场景惊悚小品🫤前半段铺垫无惊无喜，ash真实身份暴露的转折点开始带节奏😦杀戮戏异常紧凑干脆🫣女主留下的毒品关键时刻起了作用🫢而且她真的不怕冷啊🤷🏻♀️
算是小成本里，剧本把控比较出彩的类型了，反转和惊悚元素都利用的不错，女主也不是那种圣母，出手果敢，终于算是塑造了一位不错的亚籍女主。hulu也有追赶网飞的意思了嘛。
有些亮点，比如女主瘾君子的设定最后反而是反杀的唯一条件，和老兵对话浮现的关于父亲的隐藏剧情线，但是啥啥又都差点，第二个绑匪现身太早，而且还以为那对夫妇会有个（变态？惊人？）似的反转形成恶人vs恶人的高潮段落，显然我又想多了（我写肯定这么写啊。
2022年第2部新片。
密闭空间的悬疑恐怖片最忌讳的就是太快破功。这种片子最好看的就是先让观众看到潜在的危险，然后让主角们风平浪静地继续闲聊打牌。一旦打破密室环境进入肉搏阶段，打得越久就越无聊。这部片子在还不到一半四十分钟的时候就摊牌了，后面纯粹在飙血浆。亚裔女主确实是很罕见的孔武有力type。导演应该学一下昆汀的早年作品《四个房间》，一开始就抛出矛盾，然后用一长串有趣的闲谈拖延矛盾爆发，最后用五秒钟解决矛盾。
不用去深究细想的比较轻松的一部片子，看完之后印象最深的还是Bullshit扑克牌玩法那场戏，一些身体上的疼痛画面也还算可以。
出乎意料的精彩，为剧本和女主的表演打call！
小成本制作能拍成这样还可以了，女主越看越美
电影3星，给一星是因为某个角色，我不说是谁
剧情悬念两次反转，暴风雪驿站困境就六个演员两个阵营也玩不出啥惊艳花样来，类似设定的佳作也太多。搞了一堆事，原来就是给脱离生活主干道走了岔路的亚裔女主洗白，求得家人接纳，这主旨开头一段开车逃走的镜头就交代明白了。整体太一般了。
3.5 man of Tokyo竟然是山下智久？？？
勉强及格。后半段有些无聊。
我还在想这个黑人是谁来着，原来是24小时里的总统啊，多少年过去了
没想到还挺精彩！虽然剧情有点Bug，但节奏很好，剧情经得起推敲，不俗！
着实一般，前半段还算普普通通，闹剧式电影，高低搭配的反差主角两个，缝合了点成龙元素，勉勉强强合格的类型片。但是后半段，透着一股预算用光的贫穷，没法补拍随便剪辑的过场，加的对白只能借位用画外音……
暴雪困兽斗，关键时刻必须得嗨起来！剧情最大的问题就是那哥们俩的叔叔最后应该亮个相！
[hulu][origin][EngSub]同名小说改编，暴风雪山庄系悬疑，剧情短小精悍，亚裔主角确实罕见，好人市民只能说有点惨，米国步枪协会狂喜，这几个好人市民里但凡一个人带枪就可以提前结束了。你看，好人没有武器就是这个下场，所以emmmmm....
