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.
多一星给摄影。我一直都还蛮喜欢这种手持加快切的胶片色画面。
这没想到这么烂，再精美的服化道也掩盖不了剧本的弱智，不知道是原著小说的弱还是改编的弱，种种不符基本逻辑、违背常识的弱智场景看得让人尴尬要死（您干嘛不再喊大声点“我要刺杀希特勒”），“夏洛特小姐”和老戏骨们也救不了这烂戏，俩男主角除了长得好看演技也是令人尴尬，一个面瘫一个“马景涛”。。。
张伯伦已成为曲线救国的坚忍老头了，当然这是英国人的一厢情愿。
电影拍得都很好，但是这个史观和价值观真是让我作呕！
一战战壕到二战前夕，前线小兵到首相秘书，George MacKay特快专递情报信件的标志性场景「荞麦跑」现已正式列入影史。严肃正剧的定位注定除了集齐优秀演员，重现昨日以讽喻当下政治的些微意义之外，对如今世界仅剩「道德说教」。工整乏味的导演手法使其无法跳出纪录片语法的阴影，即使借助原著在课本事件的空白间隙里穿针虚构，惊悚氛围和人物塑造的表现依然毫无新招，趣味寥寥。当片尾字幕亮出，影片用意更是昭然若揭：给被单一主流叙事方向盖棺定论为绥靖罪人的张伯伦一次重新建构，但也因此过度干涉引导的意图，电影彻底失去影像的独立性沦为教学和创作两边不搭的尴尬产物。无数细节渗入明显来自刻意制造平行以作今日代言的后见之明，也让主线关于无法选择生存时代的立场相左无名人物的「抉择」变得虚浮，同窗走向陌路的设计亦全是老调。
Captivating from the start to end
以为是讲少年气的血勇败给绥靖老头儿们的老奸巨猾，却原来最后成了为张伯伦洗地、平反。对这位厌战老兵“和平首相”的新解有所了解，但将之塑造为“我不下地狱谁下地狱”、以甘愿自侮不惧出丑而为国家为欧洲争取到宝贵时间⋯⋯啊，多少也是拐弯拐得有点急。不知道苏台德但泽斯克的人们愿不愿意接受这样的“委曲”。对照俄侵乌的当下，倒是令人唏嘘，历史不过是复读机，同样的台词、同样的人设，一次次地重演。两个男主演得相当不错。另：一次次地，那么多人曾经想肉体消灭大魔王，都没成功。这是天数，天不灭曹，人类的劫数。
除了片尾评价，事实上挺符合历史的，我看着觉得挺嘲的，但评价“拖了一年让同盟国胜利”是什么鬼？而且球球了，racist这个词出来我实在不知道该笑还是该骂，用这个词来形容德三，太扯了吧……最后，这个德国小哥好帅啊！
execuse me？导演拍这部电影完美诠释啥叫普信没有国界
历史总是惊人的相似，当紧张气氛弥漫在凌晨的夜空之上，真得分不清历史和现实哪一个更加贴近我的生活……
阻止不了,但是,,历史中的人物还是在挣扎.
啊啊啊啊啊！！！！这对cp真的是可以的！！！！！！但是在慕尼黑酒馆里用德语讨论颠覆希特勒政权真的不科学吧。。。
美如画的兄弟爱情片，开场很像《巴黎烟云》。We have no chance to choose the times we live, the only thing we can choose is how we respond. Hope is waiting for others else to do sth. 真的很让人伤心的片，但小狗一直在搞笑，我都伤感不起来…
一个德国人想阻止政治收复丢失的故土的故事，理由是祖国会更强大，因此会导致日后的战争。理由逻辑如此搞笑，骗看片人无思考能力吗？
十年过去 仍然记得中学历史书上张伯伦的那张照片“我们已经拿到了和平的保证”。是的，希望，是指望别人做一些事来改变，但是，we have to fight，and I will definitely fight。看完这样的历史战争片总是内耗太大，不动一枪一火却能感受到其中的紧张。老板给我的感觉还真的和首相一样，日理万机之间跟你抽空说几分钟……
是一部适合当下看的预言电影，因为主体状态从未改变。
介于真实历史和虚构故事之间，真的挺一般的，除了出色的卡司。可能是因为主角组是虚构人物，又不能改动历史事实，很多桥段显得很刻意。比如：为什么要在到处都是党卫队的酒吧密谋？为什么党卫队的可以进英国外交人员的房间？另外，最后的字幕说的仿佛是因为英国的绥靖政策最终打败了希特勒一样，真的不是洗白么？
卡司不负我望 这种半架空的剧情知道历史就知道结局了 所以比较弱也可以理解

彼时彼刻恰似此时此刻。两个年轻男主的人物设置比较吸睛，多给一星。
