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.
但，能不能，在你打盹之前，给大部分还算善良的人以神启
也许因为导演是是枝裕和，整个片子日味浓郁，偏偏几个韩国主演实在演技了得，反而让它看起来显得别扭。如果换成普通演员说不定会更好一些。
就是主题设置与人物上都走了下坡路
3.5分 前半段悬念很足 后半段救人开始节奏拉垮 很多人物转变没有张力 丹麦语发音听着实在难受 果然还是我不习惯北欧风格吗 盟军不作为正面形象出现好评 弱国对于发生在自己国土上的战争也无能为力
爆炸前那几秒真让人绝望。
MU5735遇难者尚不能安息的今天看这个电影，真的是一言难尽；可控的是人祸，不可控的才是灾难。
把这么严肃的题材拍的这么艺术，丹麦也算是有独创精神。然而避讳盖世太保主题，却着重描写英军误炸的学校，其实有些别有用心。丹麦当年闪电投降，为纳粹鞍前马后其实历史自有评判，不过就算是撇开政治主题，本片仍然不好看，最多给5分！
兄妹二人小演员都演得很灵，长得也好看，甚至感觉是比《怪奇物语》的老几位强了【此处拉踩】，故事内容其实看简介也很吸引人，可惜表现出来并没有太出色，
八十年后甚至未来，这些悲剧还在（会）继续。无辜的永远是平民百姓。
故事主线虽然还算明晰，但看起来就很乱，很多没什么意义的东西被乱七八糟地加了进来，或许是导演想着各种元素致敬云云，但带给我不小的割裂感。
这一个多月以来才意识到我们生在和平岁月这代人对战争态度的傲慢和天真。不明白点对点精准打击只是个看上去很美包装后的概念，没见过枪炮，没见过尸体，没见过死亡，没见过应激创伤，没见过销烟后的残垣断壁。可以不了解，但至少别丧失敬畏
开头就暗示了大英皇家空军是瞎子。上帝是不是在捡铅笔，真的是戳心。
实在觉得没有什么可品味之处，尤其是和是枝裕和自己比。
每年看几部关于战争的悲剧，时刻提醒自己，唾弃战争，远离脑残。
导演有点故作玄虚，开头还假模假样整的和文艺片一样忽悠影评人，正片感觉撑不起来100分钟的长度
不算太成功的“迦太基行动”。皇家空军应丹麦抵抗组织的请求，跨越海洋来轰炸丹麦盖世太保总部，同时也误炸了法语儿童学校。作为战争中的勇士，他们挽救了一些人，也害死了许多人。战争就是这么残酷，平民也会被连带伤害。即使在童话王国的战争里，也没有童话。
很别致。二战末期的哥本哈根，德国人和当地的盖世太保已经被鄙视了，英国准备轰炸盖世太保总部，结果路盲领航员把炸弹扔到当地学校里了。群像戏，节奏不是很快，但前面很全面的展示了哥本哈根的种种状态。最后1/3是救人，节奏稍微快了一点，不过好看的反倒是前面。
是一部以原历史素材为基础的改编佳作。修女扎针，绝望中依然心系救赎的信仰型抑郁，虔诚灵魂挣扎动人。孩子视角看待战争，天真变体与想象，很有毕加索《格尔尼卡》的出发点。若童真生存于残酷世界，世界也是残酷的变形。
最后一幕还致敬了罗拉快跑
近乎真实还原了英军误炸法语女校事件，战争的残酷与惨烈，多处令人窒息。炸弹、女童、鲜血，还有上帝的假寐。
