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.
北欧版的Hamlet，影像化得很有史诗感。不过莎剧的魅力在于台词啊，没了那份华丽和韵律，就只是平庸。
视听语言的堆砌，剧本台词一塌糊涂，导演前两作的邪气荡然无存……美好周末的最后两个小时用来看这个，不太值……
这是啥，王子复仇记，预告片战争也总共就不到十个人？笑死爹
你以为把H换了个顺序我就不认识你了？？？视听还不错但这个故事线也太粗劣的照搬平铺直叙了吧……
仿佛一场大型魔幻舞台剧。台词不多 但每句台词都让“华丽”到让人想笑。场景的衔接莫名其妙。叔叔每次都出去守卫了个寂寞 让男主进到家里 这剧情真是搞笑。拍这种电影简直是资源浪费 不知道小演员有没有心理阴影。同样是决斗 这决斗可比最后的决斗差十万八千了，观影中只想着 怎么还不结束 硬撑着看完了
视听体验很好，又是那种边看边琢磨得有多难拍的片子。几段鼓点真是如同敲在我脑门上。有些片段能感觉是刻意加进去的，估计就是和studio打架完妥协的结果吧。作为改编算不错了，vikings神话感融入得挺好，但因为是Robert Eggers就会期待能有更具原创性的发挥。后三分之一反而疲软了些。Claes Bang叔叔真帅！
这哪是王子复仇，分明是河东村与河西村的两代矛盾纠纷。
我错了！这片子真香！虽然依旧是超英的故事骨架但是又非常有功夫片的味道，还拍了可能有半本《山海经》进去，感觉上一次看到这么大容量高密度浑然一体的文化输出可能还是《卧虎藏龙》。以及梁朝伟真是所有超英电影里最让人心疼（和花痴）的反派！
我太喜欢了，非常之满意！来美国之后看的第一场影院电影，在amc，能有这样一部完全以中国人为主，说普通话的超级英雄漫威电影在美国电影院上映给美国人看，真的是非常神奇的体验，我也特别自豪。电影本身看着也很爽，无需纠结剧情，服化道，中国元素满分。爽！
电影气氛诡异风格怪诞。看来洋人古装电影不适合我啊，个人不是很喜欢！
音乐画面绝美！绝美！ 神棍剧情太对我口味了，啊方方面面都好棒！
你要知道自己错过了什么
也不能说电影拍的不好看，就是不太喜欢，看了一点看不下去了
脸谱化的人物，冗长无聊的台词，沉闷没有转折的剧情，复仇故事就真的只能拍成哈姆雷特那样的吗？
对于 上气 电影 洗白 傅满洲，变成了一个中性的 文武的角色，然后故意加上一些中国神话里面的动物来迎合中国观众。 突然想到，这不就是一种对自己辱华历史的隐瞒么？就故意回避欧美社会曾经的 黄祸论时期么？傅满洲一直都在，只不过以前是面子骨子里面都有，现在变成了骨子里而已。
导演有没有拍嗨不知道，反正我是看爽了（当然，酒精也起到了作用
复仇的结局，往往没有想象中单纯…
故事好瞎哦，原来是北欧版王子复仇记，可是他老妈比哈姆雷特的老妈毁三观多了，更不谈那个结局了。。。想看北欧维京人故事的可以看美剧维京传奇和维京传奇衍生剧英灵殿，战争权谋宫斗，个人觉得各方面都比这个拍得好。
怪异的仪式感百看不腻，可安雅再美，调度再绝也没能拯救故事毫无张力的俗套。
很流畅，尤其服化道精细且准确到叹为观止。有两场有关幻觉和萨满教宗教体验的戏让人起鸡皮疙瘩。至于为啥这么多人打差评，简直让我觉得是不是另一种要证明自己够酷的皇帝的新衣。如果拍得够好，二十一世纪怎么就不能看一个90％复刻的王子复仇记了？我觉得这事情就和指环王重映收获差评一样，东西内核没变，“大人，时代变了”。well，有些时候改变也不一定是好事。
