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.
See the people we miss,
朋友you should worry about that dam more than your妞
好奇的想问导演一句，自己的记忆，不是应该是自己眼睛里看见的东西吗，按理来说，只能第一视角来承显自己的记忆，可是电影里却是第三视角，不科学的。剧情发现到中间，突然出来一个已逝的地产商，剧情前面没有一点暗示也没有一点铺垫，这……
地产商与私生子 水世界与回忆机器 给力助手与贪污警察 吴彦祖帅的
这个故事，这个表达，他以为自己能成为《盗梦空间》吧，可结果不过是在自嗨罢了。这样的情感可一点也不动人，影片的侧重点一开始就错了。
我觉得很好看诶……很久没看过那么纯爱的电影了……
这导演这几年是没看片还是咋了？这也太老派！太土了！
冲着吴彦祖去看的话可能会失望。，因为他根本就不是反派，只是一个推进剧情的工具人。只是正式出场了一个主场景，就没他的事了。发挥空间有限，他只能强行尴尬地加入普通话，来让角色变得有特点一些。丽贝卡·弗格森依然很美，而对于《追忆迷局》来说，这绝对也足够了。
The past doesnt haunt us...its us who haunt past, we haunt it, so we look again, see the people we miss and things we miss about.我时常像剧中角色一样陷在(对堡的)回忆里无可自拔以此为乐，像个老年人
随着算力速度的的加快过去总是容易被太快遗忘
See the people we miss,
观看之前没有看任何剧透：果然是女导演，难怪情感方面把握的细腻……
没有彦祖会更好，Rebecca Ferguson架枪动作被玩坏了
老套故事结构下包装了一层科幻和反阶层的外衣，狼叔演得吧也只能算是一般般，因为吴彦祖想看的话我劝退你打消这个念头吧，他在全片中加起来的时间不超过10分钟…该剧的悬疑属性极弱，未来水世界的设定还不如当年的未来水世界。只能算很一般的一部片。
一片情深得让人无法理解，那个科幻设定也很一般。
深度怀疑当初给西部世界做编剧的名字，是因为亲戚关系挂上去的。这就是个言情剧。披着科幻悬疑外壳的舔狗剧！
这故事说明不要总立flag，过程幸福的故事总是悲伤的结局真是一语成谶，剧情本身还不如世界设定有趣，一别于《未来水世界》的末世水世界还是挺有想法的
浪费了那么好的卡司! 这个剧情也太无聊了!!
设定很好，构思也很好，但是我打心眼里不喜欢这个故事。是讲阴谋还是讲爱情，选一个说清楚吧。爱情不让人觉得深刻，倒是让这故事里的人花了一辈子去记住。
好棒，休叔第一面就爱上一个人，相处了几个月，然后用了余下的一辈子去回忆点点滴滴。设定有点扯，陆沉下的美国，居然有记忆重现的高科技。。。吴彦祖打酱油了10分钟，休叔和梅的事都是普通人的挣扎，居然能和地产商扯上关系，有点过了。。
