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.
有没有太太用这两位的设定写文啊呜呜呜呜呜呜还挺带感的
温暖又有质感的回忆录电影，成长是永恒不变的主题。
就像大多数人不会去咖啡店买一瓶矿泉水。
得放弃掉成长中来自长辈的（崇拜也好，伤痕也罢）阴影，带着爱和梦想，才能抵达成就自我的彼岸。
电影开头，我以为本子会演一个灾舅子。电影结尾，我确信他演了一个老娘舅。
影片虽然平淡，但各个角色都演的很真实。最重要的是，隐隐中看到自己的童年，虽然并不算富裕，但家人给予的温暖却永远伴随。
结尾感觉少了那么点意思 平日看电影看的少 今天凑巧想看看 就点开了 还是有感动到我的点的 个别情节可能代入自己了 泪目了。
没有像很多短评写的那样不堪，倒是觉得很写实，很温馨，是生活该有的样子，是这个阶层的人的人间烟火
对警匪片没啥兴趣，而且除了打斗部分，其他的节奏有点慢，和我姐一起看的，看的时候全程就是：小崔好帅，小崔看起来好惨啊被打的，小崔不会要死吧，出血了，小崔腿好长。。总结一下《为了崔宇植的2小时》
不知道怎么推荐这部电影，故事还不错，但是不知道是翻译哪里不对，就感觉台词和剧情的紧凑跟不上。
中规中矩、四平八稳的自传体回忆录，最大的亮点是本阿弗莱克的表演，这在其演绎生涯中也是很鲜有的 ★★☆
美国的成功学鸡汤电影是我最不理解的电影之一
大概第一次被本·阿弗莱克蛊到，知性、贴心、衣品好。挺温馨的剧情但是过于平淡细碎，应该是纽约时报看不上的。【。
原本是很有潜力的故事，结果中段太拖…直接 lost me. 也可能是最近这一年罪案片看得太多了，现在如果故事不是十分出众基本上都提不起我什么兴趣，很容易就走神。小崔穿西装真的还好。肩窄的孩子撑不起西装。
这片也太无聊了，全程没啥刺激的地方，看的人想睡觉
克鲁尼，你改行做导演是为了啥呢，为了让另一个改行做过导演的重拾导演自信吗......下次拍104分钟舅舅带娃吧，礼貌四星
影片很温馨，整个小镇都很温馨，舅舅就如同JR（侄子）的父亲一般，酒吧的人们待JR都如同自己的孩子一般，舅舅从小就为JR指点迷津，大本的演技也很不错，整体来说这是一个励志的电影，据说大本当时处在人生低谷的时候接了这部电影，为他重燃了希望!
典型美国梦的故事， 小盆友老爸早年抛妻弃子 老妈走投无路回到外祖父家。。。。幸运的是家里有个亦父亦友的查理叔叔✧٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧
“世上哪有干净的钱”
感受到了对lawyer的stereotyping😂
