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.
“为了客人能在酒店享受幸福的时光，我们一直在守护客人的假面。”长帅哥的店员测试，惩罚婚外情的恐怖妻子，为妹妹复仇获得快感的男装女性，喜欢她人却不得始终的弱男，木村拓哉很帅
很烂，我们的麻酱老婆，你们的大神老公，嗯，那又如何？毫无cp感。然后，尤其厌恶那个转场镜头，毫无意义，而且不止一次使用，被称为无技无法的技法。至于剧情，推理破案？一塌糊涂的无聊作秀。整个剧情松散离谱还不如某些年轻导演处女作。唯一可看处恐怕就是期待各女配角们的出现吧！
不透露客人隐私也是脑残，人家是警察啊，而且都要出人命了，还不能透露？
2022.4.24 方舱追剧7，实在不好看啊这部，这么多大牌让人猜不到凶手哈哈哈
这个卡司着实不舍得给两星，但又说不出什么好话来，🤷🏼♀️
莫名其妙的犯罪动机 整体而言还不如前作 木村评这部作品拿影帝 crazy
去酒店的客人都戴着面具，所以中国的很多酒店安装了摄像头偷窥客人的小秘密
非得找身高出类拔萃的麻酱和大神搭...你说你们到底安的什么心！
就爱看老汉推磨般的探戈，在不拉脸皮就快掉到胸口了。
【以下剧透】
不功不过吧。比前作稍微寡淡一点。我会更喜欢行骗天下IP里的麻。
哈哈さんまさん的友情出演有点搞笑！整个故事情节还不错。东山嫂得演技还是杠杠的。
乖乖，我就知道悬疑日影找真凶都是越是看起来像杀人凶手的往往越不是、前面先被排除掉可能性的角色常常是真凶。但是这招一直用真的很腻，尤其是这部，凶手杀人动机也太莫名其妙了简直蛇精病。一个悬疑片拍成这样它还有2个多小时，可谓又臭又长的典型案例。
谁不想在这样的酒店里住上几天呢？第一部就不咋样，这部更没什么看点。前作还有警察木村卧底酒店时因为不适应而发生的种种趣事，这部木村已经成为了一个训练有素的服务生，所以趣味性就大打折扣了。套路是越可疑的人最后就越不可能是凶手，所以推理悬疑的部分和第一部一样并不精彩。优点还是有的，节奏非常紧凑，短时间内发生的故事，氛围略微紧张。木村拓哉和长泽雅美这样的组合拍的电影，再无聊我也会看的。
前半段穿插感觉有点乱，故事感觉是第一部比较好看，但这部宾馆和警局的立场关系描绘更有人情味。
这已经不是服务精神了，该叫跪舔吧！这不是日本酒店宣传片？？？
跟第一部差得有点远，木村拓哉还是帅，长泽雅美胖了。
大牌雖多，但劇情混亂雜章，時間還長，無意思。
没想到又来到这个酒店 愉快的除夕假期泡汤hhh本身就戴着假面谜团重重的客人 这次再戴一层假面参加倒计时晚会 500位客人里寻找犯人 不禁感慨国内登记酒店都要实名制的优点！泽村一树不停提无礼要求的样子让我觉得他是LA派来考察的（结果真的是hh 十五分钟的计时器和主持人宣布十分钟新年倒计时同时的画面 我直接觉得有五分钟时间差根本不需要推理🤣最后邀请まさみLA回来一起吃饭被说無理です太可爱了hhh大神的探戈和最后的假面扮相真的帅惨了！
阵容强大但是波澜不惊，不过有续集还会继续看
