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.
这二搭cp的人物设定比马戏之王里还一言难尽，如果没有恋爱脑，后半段好看点。
期待了很久的诺兰弟弟妻子Lisa Joy大银幕首秀，狼叔弗格森《马戏之王》后重聚，本质上有点像《全面回忆》+《盗梦空间》，但是故事是绝对原创的，全程絮絮叨叨的诗篇对白基本也有诺兰电影的影子，果然不是一家人不进一家门。烂番茄48%好评真的低了，我觉得怎么也能给个70多分，真的。看到最后有点想流泪，或许这是每一个渴望回首过去的人都该看的电影吧
20210604 | 20220326 无聊标准工业化 休杰克曼真油
就看看男主女主谈恋爱的，剧情根本就毫无意义
太烂了，豆瓣是对国外片都比较宽容吧，这片如果换成国内明星演能有及格分吗？披着悬疑的外套讲个烂俗爱情故事，科技感悬疑点都没有讲好。另外阿祖的反派也太弱了吧，一堆手下一瞬间就被一个配角杀光了，还有那中英夹杂的台词也很难受，花两个多小时看中年人谈恋爱实属没必要。
还蛮适合HBO免费观看的，就网大水准。整体没什么意思，也没什么悬疑吊着。吴彦祖很性感，但是谁给他写的中英文夹杂台词，我整个大爆笑。
阿祖的英文混中文实在太逗了，话说这已经不是查看别人的记忆了，这直接是调监控了吧，极度无聊的剧本，把狼叔都能整成一个猥琐油腻大叔，最后的结局还行，要不是自己宣传是科幻片还能给它加一星
怎么说呢？确实很迷，节奏奇怪。但算是讲了一个完整爱情故事。
1 末世设定，画风阴郁，独白低沉沙哑，情节飘忽于现实与梦幻，还有大阴谋隐于其中，这些都是我喜欢的；2 但是，情节散乱，碎片化，连贯性略弱；且，总令人联想起《盗梦空间》，《记忆碎片》，《黑色大丽花》，有点出戏，这感觉稍不舒服；3 演员阵容还是蛮强大的，特别是休杰克曼让人看着舒服。总体来说，休闲可看。
迷局使片中每一段爱都经历了深刻到困惑再到质疑，可最终答案是这些爱确实是真真切切的，犯罪情节和悬疑设计不咋地不过整个故事想表达的内涵和结构是统一且完整的，结局更是一次完美的主题自洽，说一个故事，一个有幸福结局的故事，没有结局是幸福的，所有结局都是悲伤的，特别当故事本身很幸福，那就说一个开心的故事，但在中间结束，这，就是爱的本质。
Don't Look Back in ______
糟糕的台词 混乱的叙事 故作深沉的风格
Daniel Wu的gangster菜的抠脚竟给一小女人团灭，，服了
不得不说导演的脑洞还是挺大的 叙述一个未来世界的爱情悲剧 可惜到头来阿祖还是没有收手 你的杂交英语给大家整乐了
题材不新颖，内容也不科幻，根本是彻头彻尾的爱情故事，但男女主角都不错，故事也完整，以及，我很喜欢开头那个部分的末日感。
女主就相信男主会追查？
啃不动啊啃不动。概念不清晰 。看着看着就走神。
3.5星，末世的背景，悬疑的爱情故事，剧本引人入胜，爱如火焰，可以温暖你我，也可灼烧殆尽
阿祖就是个打酱油的，出场没几次就被女二送去领便当了。
come on故弄玄虚也不是这样搞的，如此老套的故事只是套娃套娃而已。关于记忆的科幻片很多，就没见过这么烂的。
