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.
1938年英德法意四国在慕尼黑把捷克的苏台德卖了的故事！英国人这个时候拍这么一部第二次世界大战边缘的关于苏台德地区的最后谍战外交战的电影，是对2022年初爆发的俄乌战争和后续发展的预言吗？表面上看，俄罗斯就是当年德国，但实质上美国为首的北约不断东扩，才是当年的德国，普京反而是当年的张伯伦和丘吉尔的合体。历史就是这么残酷，虽然刚经历过残酷的一战的欧洲大国，都不想再打一场欧洲大战，但还是被历史的车轮一点点卷了进去！老谋深算的英国首相张伯伦尽一切努力不想欧洲再次大战，这在当时背景下其实是完全正确的！并且明知希特勒不可信，还是主动和希特勒签了英德永不再战条约，就是让其毁约而失信天下！同时也拖延了和德国开战的时间，抓紧备战。

挺不错的 久别多年的老友在关键局势下重逢 见证历史的重大事件
就着渣画质可下饭的3小时神片，现代印度版武松打虎，RRR！牛牛牛！

日日日，双倍的阿sir，双倍的开挂，双倍的快乐！
可能接下来很长一段时间对于这种宝莱坞式的印度电影都会继续产生PTSD了。
台词很棒，很多值得细细地品。这是个双男主的电影？反正我觉得是吧。在德国的他没有开枪也许是因为他被朋友的一番话打动了，而回到英国的他没有继续从事公职，的的确确是因为他终于认可了朋友的话。是行动or再等等希望？两种选择都无可厚非吧。
从小人物看大事件。还行。张伯伦的历史地位，还真是扑朔迷离。
Paul和Hugh就像是人的两面，面对危机和巨变时，总会在激进和保守之间挣扎。
大场面大制作，印度片的快乐 又get到了，不用带着什么去想，就去看，也很舒服。
拍得很不错啊 摄影 动作 剧情 特效 都是上上乘 我们的抗战片能拍出这个水平 拍多少部我去影院贡献多少部票房 而不是现在CJH那种玩意 甚至比那更烂的比比皆是
不同的角度，edge of the war
“I’ll miss you”, “good bye” “good bye”
捧年轻人效果不错，英国人讲绥靖……呃……故事没啥意思！
观感比巴利霍利差多了，双男主设定，两个胡须佬。开场十分钟无法直视，没想到后面都这样，想来这是印度片的特色。与白人女性那几场戏仿佛京都球侠
本来都是我喜欢的卡司，结果特别是最后一幕，张伯伦说，看我牺牲好大，让你们认清希特勒。。。估计导演是德国人的原因？那个演员还是好看的
清醒的人看着一切慢慢陷入巨大的深渊之中却无能为力的绝望。
算是跟《兰心大剧院》互文了…在既定历史框架下插入的一系列架空情节还是稍显勉强了
3.5，宏大和个体，希望和行动，真实和虚构，从结果来推导预判价值有用但有限，真处于当下做出艰难的判断的确很难。片子对于张伯伦的所谓绥靖政策评判也是相对正向的。历史和政治。
