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.
虽然非常的cliche，但还是很欢乐的。gay版傲慢与偏见+1
基友版爱情小品剧，有圣母的主角和超帅的渣男，看着欢乐还有童话结局。开心就好
不过整个叙事过程中确实重点和角度出了问题，Noah的旁白贯穿始终，又反复在自己和Howie之间横跳，情感力度始终有点打不到人，略微可惜了。
Dream what is impossible
和杨一鹏在他家看的，故事比较俗套，但是真实。 给亚洲人点赞
挺搞笑的喜剧同性电影，剧情有点玛丽苏，结局he
这部电影侧重于犯罪题材和动作戏份，而不是探讨人性和自由，商业目的更为突出。
OK it’s cute, and American gays are so annoying. I think instead of using drugs they should really consider eat more sleeping pills, just keep quiet, and be humble.
Gay版“傲慢与偏见”，莫名带入了身边的朋友，还挺带感。
感觉回到之前看美剧寻的感觉，很喜欢看这些与自己反差很大的角色，“热情”又有“生命力”是我所缺失的。
看之前没看简介，看的时候发现了各种pride and prejudice的reference 笑的要死
虽然故事真的好俗套，演员之间也缺少火花且过于做作，但其中某些内容却也很真实，比如对圈内鄙视链、男二对于个人感情的困惑，一些喜剧元素也自然有趣，编剧不愧是脱口秀演员，不要抱太高期待，当成一部小妞爽片看就会很愉快。
我居然共情男主了，我的妈呀，lucky me
虽然剪辑和剧透很一般。但是带入howie就是我本人真实写照了 现实的部分就是真实的 但是电影浪漫美好的几乎也不可能真正实现吧 愿姐妹们都能幸福 我也可以
整体还蛮小清新的，故事不够深入，冲突也算比较莫名，人物都比较拧巴，但确实能代表一类人的感情
本来以为是porn,没想到是纯爱电影，被骗了
很好看啊 反映现实，男主也帅，这个剧似曾相识，因为我好想看过类似题材的，一群基佬去一个岛上玩 ，难道是《美国派》?
浮在表面上的，轻巧的。和Howie一样喜欢爱然后受伤。
想表达“标签”和叙述道理，但脑子总被吵闹，前者还好，后者无法耐心理解。吸东西犯了错，不去真正的反思，还要再一次的吸，我可能不懂有多上瘾，我只看得到颓废和单纯为了兴奋，感受不到其他什么东西。强行he太牵强，第一次觉得无聊，让我稍微有点起伏的，只有Oliver和Dex.
safe card playing feel good movie~
