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.
缺失了第一部中，让观众都不由自主屏住呼吸的紧张感，有两个特别血腥的场面：1.用铲子把人脑袋拍扁，2.用两个大拇指把反派大boss眼睛戳瞎。还有一个躺在水里装死，水纹波动到手上的创意。这些都是不错的桥段，其余都在爽片中比较常见。
砍自己老妈 捅自己老爸
也许橄榄球场上的球员真没什么好用镜头来表现的。大部分聚焦了主角的生活线。
这句话的同时，原来是一场含辛茹苦的布局！
宁可杀人也不杀狗，谁杀我狗我就杀他全家，这片子难道是和John Wick有联动？
很喜欢这电影
看过第一部，才好理解人物动机和部分太词。。对新观众不太友好！！
有些人的剧本就是牛逼坏了。前半段像在看chuck，后半段像draft day。
跟第一部……看了一眼导演不是同一个，哦没事了，利用水波纹感应动静成为唯一亮点.49/100
不过这种小成本b级片，也没法指望他在剧本上能做出多么大的突破，加上现在全球枪斗术盛行，改个盲人版也算是跟一波热度了
当你最失落的时候，有人说你可以的，你ready的，多重要啊 YF
美国人最喜欢灰姑娘，也算是美式自信的一种自证方式。7
突然意识到第一部有多优秀了，那种无声的压迫感难以复制，续集完全成为了犯罪动作片，不够第一部有看点。
欧美这一类型的电影在人物塑造这一块给人感觉都是大块状的，粗线条的。
俗套的鸡汤故事，重点都是在感情戏上，除了真人真事比较加分。
导演可能不太会把握爱情桥段，太狗血了点。男主的职业生涯真是不容易
公羊又刚夺超级碗，很应景，四平八稳励志片，结尾还算是高潮
有些人的剧本就是牛逼坏了。前半段像在看chuck，后半段像draft day。
编剧太会写了，虽然第一部我就共情瞎老爹，但如何把反派形象深入人心的角色塑造成“正派”甚至“英雄”，就非常考编剧功力了，在合理化人物思维和身份转变这点上，我觉得编剧做的不错，救赎主题虽然俗套，却永远可以打动人心，反正我是为这个血腥版《这个杀手不太冷》的故事撒了一筐眼泪。小凤这个角色也十分出彩，要知道，在普遍仇孩的欧美电影里看到一个不作妖不作死的孩子有多难得，更难得的是这孩子还特么没有政治正确白左圣母等等令人作呕的毛病，开篇躲避贩毒集团就智商爆表，最后挥刀断血缘更是酷毙了。以及我宣布，近五年内，瞎老爹就是美国荧幕上最硬的硬汉！
这咋说呢？第一部五年前，这一部老头从猎杀者变成了猎物，直接狗带了~小女孩逃跑戏挺刺激的，那条叛变了反派的狗也挺有意思的~
