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.
熟悉的配方，沃卓斯基导演，还是基努里维斯领衔，却没有当年的惊艳了。开始的黑屏代码还值点情怀加分
补完2和3，接着就看4真的挺爽的。（支持The Catrix
第四部明显对新观众不友好，看过前三部显然更好理解这部。前半部明显在重复第一部的前半部分，后半部也还不错。Barney成了设计师，Simth也换了演员，结尾也开放性地为续集留下了引子。总得来说，是一部脱离枯燥现实的优秀造梦电影，回到我们进影院的本来目的，经历一段难以想象的人生体验中去。最后我还想说，气功大师也不应该破坏人家家庭。（手动狗头）
哪里开个任意门 我也要去日本啊
因为有Maeve和Mae（编剧是不是故意的🌚🌚），多少有了一点点20年前致命魔术的感觉，但也可能只是因为太怀念当年的一眼惊艳再见倾心吧！从开始就知道结局，但还是看得津津有味，休叔啊！！！
PSS：吴彦祖中英夹杂是想干嘛，强行推广普通话吗。。。╮(╯▽╰)╭
前后分裂的厉害，倒不如把前半部分展开讲讲会更好更有趣。
well... 这电影就是给你看看美丽的人类
救命怎么会这么难看！每个人都在拼命抢戏！用力过猛！每个人都把自己框的死死的，吴彦祖中英夹杂“my jia（家）”“niu（妞）”“poor guisunzi（龟孙子）”“pengyou（朋友）”更是无数次。。。我理解可能在未来说话带中文比较潮吧，因为也没用翻译，其他角色就都听懂了。。
影片的卡司阵容强大，“狼叔”在《马戏之王》后与丽贝卡再次合作，还有吴彦祖的惊喜加盟。如果能精心编排故事，做成烧脑的科幻悬疑探案片，相信电影是不太可能难看的。
就像是那種導演被電影公司拿刀架在脖子上，強迫她拍攝續集的作品，而導演又深深不忿，唯有在電影中不斷以遊戲公司事隔多年研發續集，來嘲諷電影公司研發的續集多數是爛片的風氣，在電影中直接承認電影是爛片，讓電影提升到去年電影界最精彩的行為藝術。
非粉丝感觉还是挺好看的，奇观和情感都有，基努里维斯憨憨的，最后简直是许仙和白娘子
matrix就像是资本主义，你可以解构它，但你无法打败它。你可以反抗它，但你无法推翻它。你的自由就是在这里面任意表演。啊不，matrix就是资本主义下的蛋啊
2077+极乐迪斯科+失控玩家+双人成行+僵尸世界大战
为什么要搞成这德性？华纳拿枪顶着导演的脑袋逼她们拍的吗？！
不久未来的世界设定（白天大街上空无一人，人们昼伏夜出，好像现在疫情期间的上海）和回忆容器2个多好的设定啊。结果整这么大一个盘子只为了一个狗血的豪门夺产案，不是难看，是可惜了。
如果有朝一日《黑暗骑士》系列也来个强行第四部，不知道诺兰导演会作何感想？
“想念人是这个世界的一部分，没有那种悲伤，你就品尝不出甜蜜。” Miss you so much, mom, you're always on my mind... T_T
哎！ 有坨屎哎，哎，有坨屎你看到了没有
前半段把Neo设定成游戏设计者以为要推翻此前构建的世界观，稍不集中精神就容易陷入云里雾里，喋喋不休的台词仿佛一个中年老男人的消极抵抗，甚至还出现自讽华纳的赤裸台词，与宏伟严肃的科幻议题格格不入。当真相一步步揭开后发现电影仍旧是在探讨真实与虚幻，新的危机只是系统又一次更新换代，再用频率密集的情节闪回完成自我致敬，这就像深陷中年危机的男人面对一脸懵逼的观众自顾自说着曾经过往的辉煌。然而故事油腻外动作特效也没有更多新意，在工业体系更加成熟的当下仍在自我模仿着子弹时间，与当初的惊艳天壤之别，中国功夫元素也更多被剪辑拼接所替代。作为一部续作也许它称得上及格，但作为一部观众等了18年的神级IP续作，电影给到的答案仅仅是一次又一次的回望。
