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.
我就是喜欢这种题材. 可惜后半段垮了. 导演与演员都有问题
相信大部分人都会像小伙子一样，Greenland就是心中的理想或情怀，渴望踏上这片土地，完全低估了将要面对的艰难险阻。这样极端残酷的环境，只能努力travelling light。看到后来老船长日益崩溃，小伙子成长后独挡一面，以及俩人终于等到救援队，却不知是否为自己的幻觉，也许这一幕他们已经“看到”了许多次...真的很心疼。政治家发表着宏伟演讲，他们成为了还没适应人类社会的英雄... 与旅游家不同，探险家为了追寻的记录宁舍命。全片一直在隐射“是否值得”，我想片尾真实事件的照片早已高过这个问题。希望多一些这种好片。（老船长好帅）
雷蓓尔瘦了好多好多好多！！！！！瘦了能有½个她自己吧？虽然对舞会皇后不感兴趣，但是这种电影看得多了现在真的想参加一次这样的舞会
演员在体态上卖力的自我折磨就像店家拉着“最后一日”的清仓横幅却牢牢盘踞一个月一样，沦为仅剩的一点可怜噱头。前半段看到马克·沃尔伯格应聘演员的时候有短暂闪回到《不羁夜》，拳击手失业也不一定就要做神父嘛，还可以下海的（不是）。
I’m not a god person
观影感还是不错的，最后的心理斗争，期待，无助，绝望，刻画的确实很到位！
前半部分不错，后面一点慢节奏。。总体还不错
两个人就这样被抛弃在格陵兰，拍的不够绝望和挣扎
算是一次成功的新瓶装旧酒，比我预想的好很多。用同样的框架讲述了不太相同的故事，在保留千禧年热情活力（虽然比较流于表面）的同时也将时下主流思想保留并输出，爱莉希雅的客串太让人惊喜了！她笑起来还是和《独领风骚》里面一样可爱❤️可惜的是角色之间情感交流很少，并且非常粗糙，有些部分仓促只为做过渡，甚至有些可以深入挖掘的地方根本没做交代，这个剧本元素杂糅是优点也是遗憾，这个故事应该拍成十二集左右的短剧而非两个小时的电影。
从一个运动员的身体到一个患病变胖的身体，从不知道要干什么打拳就行的心态到想成为演员，最后成为神父的心态。故事就是简单叙事，没有感受到什么。
普通平淡的传记片，马克·沃尔伯格尚可的演技和与以往不同的形象算是唯一看点，无神论者完全无法共情，剧情拖沓无趣到四十分钟弃
千里冰封万里雪，孤独美丽的格陵兰。雪橇，狗狗（狗肉）和两个玩命男……
马克沃克伯格一定有专门的编剧，要不然怎么他演的每一部电影都有一样的节奏和分幕结构？美国电影就是依靠这样的价值观去渗透其他国家。
还原度很高，很真实，但是总感觉缺乏一些吸引力和剧情起伏感。
不够有吸引力，主角和那种极端恶劣环境的对抗不够，内心的幻象和最后的现实重合又太夸张。
场景展示虽没有更多意外，没想到！一位肩负重任的船长远不如自告奋勇首次来北极的一位机工！也佩服和心痛一路陪伴他们探险的狗狗们～
而且电影里真的没有budy shame，女主20年后醒来也当上了舞会女王，大胆的跳完了当年的舞，真好啊
看到泰温公爵不愿意出钱去救儿子，我不怀好意滴笑了。中规中矩的北极故事，剧情一般表演一般，心疼那些狗狗，人类雄心勇气的牺牲品。
20220617 从一个愤世嫉俗的混球变成了开解别人的神父，神奇的造化，开窍大概就在那一瞬间。
前四十分钟控制的还是很好的，可惜全片两小时，太长了，后面八十分钟就差很多。
