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.
既然可以灵魂附体在场的每一个人，那就差她媳妇了……最后他俩不会合为一体了吧？
选角还是棒棒哒，但对着我的小屏幕大大削减张力。可能看现场舞台剧会好一些
我也觉得比舞台版官摄好看，故事讲的不错，而且节奏气氛啥的都挺好的。这一版杰米没有那么妖但非常可爱，甚至是个温柔坚韧的小甜心，我还蛮喜欢的。雨果这一段闪回很好。去掉了最后闪瞎人的亮相有些子遗憾，但想想青春电影停在不错的毕业典礼也挺好的。
什么玩意啊!鬼附身也得讲些鬼逻辑吧?就流浪汉是合理的!
一种俗套励志青春片换上了LGBT外衣的感觉
bug是有点多，但导演有点东西，取景设定和运镜都颇有亮点，前半段稍微加速后的打斗效果更显流畅打击感更强，后半段的持枪边打边射有点铁雨的意思
灵魂附身玩出了新花样，这个车祸失忆有点独特
剧本来说jamie实现梦想的路简直太过轻松儿戏，人设愚钝无知莽撞且正好青春期脾气大，所有配角跟着一起脸谱化，但这些缺点在舞台剧中都没有明显到让人无法忍受的地步，电影版则不是。jamie专断横行的性格要是没有前辈和长辈指导真的单凭自己不可能成功。而所有演员的演技更是灾难，影版jamie的眼睛里毫无火花可言，很多时候我甚至觉得这个jamie想成为drag queen不是真的喜欢只是为了逃避社会。其他演员则浑身上下都有一种“我在演舞台剧”的感觉。那拜托，下次直接出官摄就好了。你换了卡司自己演一圈都比硬拗成电影好。 ps. 为什么本年度音乐剧改编电影一部比一部灾难？
Sometimes it’s okay for musicals to simplify things; but for a movie, simplification is not necessarily a plus
整体剧情很老套，灵魂脱离也很有新意。但是大部分剧情都用在追来逐去，再加上动作戏真的有点减分，剧情上有些敷衍的感觉。
上一秒在教堂门口接了对象回家，下一秒独自一人在家看u盘接到对象电话，再下一秒就是冲进去看见对象被按在地上挨打，然后自己就交出u盘再被注射新型毒品，然后再和电影开头和后面故事串联上，怎么就感觉这个剧情这么突兀呢？设定也是够突兀的，总感觉都是为了体现最后女主嘴里说出来的台词罢了。
想象力还是很丰富的，让男主的灵魂脱离身体，每隔12个小时就进入另一个人的身体，而这些人正是知法犯法侵害他和女友的同事。影片借灵异的情节表达了要维护正义正确价值观，细思极恐的是隐喻了现实社会的黑暗，毕竟片中的灵异事件在现实里不会发生，所以如果事情真的发生在现实社会里，那么男主和女友以及前面调查到事件真相的同事，大概率就是遇害了，而他那些知法犯法贩毒的同事则还在逍遥法外。所以无力之余，只能寄希望于灵异事件来反转。影片多数镜头仍让男主饰演被他“上身”的人物，仅仅靠一个特写镜头做交代，所以看着感觉很混乱，如果直接让所有被“上身”的演员来演男主，效果会更好。
不断魂穿在一个贩毒加警察内鬼的案件中各个人的男主，无论在怎样都在拯救女主，动作爽片，最后一场戏有点john wick孤胆英雄的味道。
I'm not gay.
这电影应该会被翻拍，有故事又可以让导演炫技。
变装历史的回顾和现代“艺术课”两段还蛮惊艳的，从舞美设计角度比《毕业舞会》强了不少，但是emmmm……好听的歌还是没有，蛮可惜。家庭和社区氛围对LGBT社群的友好程度影响真的很重要，没有这些支撑而走出来的“变装皇后”真得很厉害，不辱片中她们的“战士”之名。有机会想看下160分钟高达9.1分的舞台剧，看看完整的《人人都在讨论杰米》的真正模样。
目前分数对于这样的影片明显是不公平的，大家似乎被大量烂片麻木了，起码人家敢想敢拍还能拍~~不要因为豆瓣评分和名字而遗漏的影片~~3星再奖励一星~~
搬上大荧幕就要承担传播主流价值观和政治正确的任务
电影题材蛮新颖的，打戏动作也很到位，整体来说还不错！
还算中规中矩，在情节基本没有改动的情况下添加了不少细节，可惜表演张力不够导致情感传递不到位，包括妈妈这个角色也居然没能打动我，但冲着John McCrea演年轻时候的loco chanelle我也要多加一星
