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.
「双男主」设定的最大作用可能是让荷兰弟从沃尔伯格身上学到与其年龄不相符的油腻。全片最好的镜头基本在开场两分钟内就展现完毕，除了贡献几个自以为幽默的烂梗外剧情真是套路到不行，另外拿这片碰瓷成龙电影的可以赶快结宣传费了。（Live）
撇开一些玛丽苏剧情之外，女主的三次逃跑更像是三次试探。关于怀疑和信任，其实人和人之间一开始从来都是互相怀疑不信任的，信任是一次次怀疑一次次否定之后才建立起，而后越来越相信。这是一部关于自我救赎和信任的西部风光片。
我不想来评价这个电影的故事内容。但凡看着这个电影有感动的感觉，都应该想一想，为什么会感动？为什么会想要被救赎？为什么想要被别人救赎？为什么自己不能救赎自己？为什么自己不能好好爱自己？
基督教电影最大的问题就在于，巧合太多，且在关键性转变的时刻放弃叙事、把一切交给主的做功，但对于非信仰群体来说，故事的魅力就在于这些痛苦和纠结之后产生的转变，突转更需要层层编制的细致铺垫，这也是为什么现实生活中的见证分享会有奇妙恩典之感（因为神迹就是充满偶然性，救赎就是突转，神就是爱），而等量放在电影里就只会让人觉得不真实。/又是一部信仰和非信仰群里观感严重两分的作品……哎。
毫无期待只想看个普通爱情故事，谁知道剧情信息量这么大的嘛？咱就是说，俩小时讲的电影讲得东西有点多，服装和音乐可这爱情…属实讲的莫名其妙…
看懂的 就知道 因着信祂 我们每个人都在这样的爱中
2.5/5 基本属于看过就忘的那种 不过看的时候也不觉得难看就是了
I just can’t tell how much I love you.
Seth Rogen 把这片编剧的offer推掉的理由看来也很适合评价本片：“这只会是另一部印第安纳琼斯电影而已” 没玩过游戏，但是好像游戏改编电影就没几个靠谱的，这片子做为爆米花电影还算勉强及格吧。
爆米花节奏。剧情和发展十分低幼，但动作戏设计很好，服装和家具很好看。
1.5 粗制滥造。场景也太简陋了。几个演员基本都在神游…
如果说我的观影过程还算有点意思的话，那多半是4DX Screen的功劳，就是一中规中矩的游戏改编冒险片，又是赶鸭子上架的剧情，女主角当着众人面溜走的场面差点没把我笑死。最后的船戏我可以勉强原谅一下，允许保留些离谱。
作为一部爆米花电影，还要求啥呢。不过说真的，动作戏不咋样，女主更不咋样，视觉奇观也没有，打四星的冲动，完全是对荷兰弟的好感度。PS:马克跟荷兰弟比身高，那确实不怎么高，哈哈哈哈
“我曾经认为，救赎存在于无条件的被爱里；后来我慢慢发现，救赎更存在于无条件的去爱当中。”
黑吃黑吃黑，到最后良心发现。按说没啥问题，就是感觉差一股劲，解谜解的有如玩笑。几个配角特别女配，不太讨喜。
在电影院看到宣传海报的时候就估摸到了肯定是个商业烂片，但最终还是去看了，果然是烂片哈哈哈。前三分之二压根与海域没关系，后三分之一虽然有海，但是关系也不大。整体的剧情稀烂，以及各种不走心的剧情过渡和打斗，哪怕是小蜘蛛也拯救不了。远不如他小时候拍的那部什么海啸来着。
算是看过的游戏改编电影里还不错的 现在很流利游戏元素带入电影
但不管怎样，还是算很不错的动作商业片，娱乐性拉满！
I just can’t tell how much I love you.
没有玩过游戏，但高空飞落紧急开伞、古老宝藏钥匙、利益分赃不均、团队精神等要素和剧情加在一起就有点赶工意味……
