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.
Nina Dobrev还是那么美😍Darren Barnet已经变成chick flick hot guy专业户了吗哈哈 鬼知道最后致敬love actually那一段我哭得有多惨😭ps.美国人真的11月开始过圣诞🎄实锤 pss.真正的幸福是从爱自己开始的（百说不腻的鸡汤
大鼻子情圣的喜剧变体啥时候都有市场。以前在网飞看过欧阳万成的脱口秀说点开看看。大量使用亚洲演员然却依旧是披着亚裔皮的白人圣诞爱情喜剧，不知道该表扬现在好莱坞的政治正确里终于想得到要用亚洲面孔了呢，还是该继续骂这特么滴根本就是跟亚裔一毛钱关系也没有的故事。
久违的温柔romcom。美国主流媒体男主进化史。
现代网恋的故事！万成的脱口秀不错。圣诞将至 应景现实 ！
中间剧情确实是烂，但是我好喜欢这个故事啊，这个结局我太满意了
Curls响起来的时候, 心里还是猛地抽动了一下...为啥是明明是女主被骗, 帮josh圆谎, 却还是她在engage party上澄清认错, 最后请求原谅啊??? 不过还是蛮感人的, 你我都知道现实没可能发生这种事情, 配不到一起的就是配不到一起, 就算人被劈开前原本有两个头, 也不会一半natalie一半josh吧...可是就真的, 爱好难啊, 找到的人是怎么找到的呢
真的太可爱了… 但是怎么十一月就开始过圣诞了，周末晚上看完一阵恍惚感觉马上就要放假新年了😂😂😂
3.5吧。本来一起唱圣诞歌多好，被迫订婚真的不好，在老人院那段也有点难受，这个结局也稍微。不过其他地方都不错，快乐脸谱化合家欢电影。
哈哈哈无趣帅哥还是无脸有趣男子怎么选啊烦烦烦
意外觉得很甜。最近太抑郁了今天没去上班自己在家哭一下。
谁说love actually 是最烂圣诞片我直接战狼出击
这种电影本来就是看个热闹，就像过节合家欢的爆米花电影，整体温馨就完了。非要谈到现实生活，现实生活的Asian men（仅代表国内）内在有一半欧阳这样的就谢天谢地了好吧😁btw：从始至终都觉得真爱不分皮囊，如果你只爱皮囊，fine…我无f**k说。
爆米花电影，华人跟白女搭配这个我觉得电影所需，但我没懂即便在国外长大的华人也对圣诞节这么热衷的吗？
粗制滥造轻喜贺岁片+1，恋爱软件滑人噱头挺足，网恋有风险，空降需谨慎，是要三观相符的聊得来平凡男人，还是靠假装才能相处的美好皮囊，加上亚裔加上一些文青观点输出。开头女主过于烦人，二十分钟后就是男主烦人，中段感觉好了一点，结果人设开始接连崩坏，是所有人，包括男主一家，只有奶奶和妈妈的糊涂划水人设最稳定。真不是带圣诞带爱就好看。
这一开始就是欺骗真的可以吗？男主整个感觉就是很猥琐很不真诚。
Netflix电影。爱情的冲动是颜值担当的结果。所以最好是颜值和内涵匹配。再好的内涵，颜值看不了，也没有办法在一起。
#打卡圣诞爆米花电影大作战 结尾致敬真爱至上的桥段还是太犯规了! ps.我会选择跟Josh这种特别聊得来又细心体贴的男生做一辈子的好闺蜜诶嘿嘿嘿
一个三代亚裔脸的纯阿米里卡家庭，亚裔奶奶在饭桌说着白人儿媳都觉得不合适的sex话题、全家狂热爱好一切美国传统节日：布置夸张万圣节及圣诞节装饰、全家上街合唱圣诞歌、制作姜饼屋……对于这样狂热的皈依者，剧情给这家的三位男成员各配了一个白人大美妞伴侣。恭喜亚男终于享受到了好莱坞撑政治正确、反种族歧视的阶段性成果！！（另我就是yygq好莱坞，但不延展到其中的任何一位演员本身，请勿以此来杠）
jesus，欧阳万成很可爱啊，把亚洲人特有的自负内向腼腆演活了！
