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.
拖拉，不太能接受。。吐槽就真的只是吐槽，不如拍两姐妹（男主们）的waiters往事呢
gay version of Pride and Prejudice
看到一半才反应过来致敬了傲慢与偏见，甚至人物关系还有几场重点戏的色调都是一样的。Masculinity, rich, none-Asian, white, abs, those are right though.
感觉最可贵的是没有像普通网大冒险片一样全片铺满CG奇观，而是用大篇幅去聚焦个人
救命！“女”二真的是我，厌倦了你来我往的社交方式和调情俗套，追求更多的刺激来填满内心的空虚，会因为一句“我喜欢你”而变得更喜欢对方，但这就是我真挚的爱情，五天前认识的陌生人会想让我结束我后面所有的一切计划，虽然下头的人很多，但我愿意一直相信爱情，相信自己会遇到那个人的，被上天安排来这个世界上，会有一个人能接受我的一切并看到我很爱他而奋不顾身爱我的！！
我们对爱太渴望了 我们必须把自己变得更傻一点 得做些傻事我们才能配得上
从叙事上并不“惊心动魄”，而事实让人动容，最后加分满满。
gay+亚裔版《傲慢与偏见》，看得还是挺欢乐的
这是我喜欢的电影类型
The guy is just a drama Queen! Also he is really not good looking.
挺好的 挺美好的 黑不起来
不太好看，对群体的描写也很刻板印象，没有看到更深层次的东西，当然这类型的电影也没啥深层次的东西
作为喜剧不算搞笑作为同志片不算激情，但是亚裔主导的同志喜剧影片意义大于质量了。有句话很扎心，自以为看透所有人，其实自己总是预设最坏情况避免自己失望，我本人了
基佬版的《傲慢与偏见》……打发时间的快乐小电影，Dex帅到我失语了。
i had so much fun watching this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (white gays are the worst!!!
7.0/10。开篇就在援引Jane Austin，所以是现代彩虹版Pride and Prejudice没错啦，drama满满，表演有时候略微做作，但也确实会有共鸣。有些美好大概只能出现在文学和电影电视剧里，而不会在这个圈子里吧。Howie可爱。
很出色的通讯录喜剧了，不建议30岁以下的通讯录看，毕竟世界观差异太大了
老套又暖心，很吃杨贺文和oliver（原谅我只记得他叫Oliver） 不过真的想看Zane和Matt那段视频完整版😶
也没有很喜剧啊，感觉现在看亚洲人变得很西化还是有点不习惯
是一部看了会让人非常开心的电影！单纯美好的！氛围超好的party之旅！！/其中，躺在沙滩上一起看书，一起交流的手语，一起冲向大海的浪漫氛围真的太美太美了。虽然镜头只有那几秒，但是却直击我的内心，我的爱情该有的样子。/爱一个人一定不能让他离开你！未来和爱情从来不需要二选一，因为爱你的人会和你一起走向你的未来！/“我真的为了你偷了水上的士”爱你的人会为你做许多疯狂的事，爱你的人会想方设法来和你相见，不负万里地前来。/最后的跳舞太杀我了，美丽的景，爱的人，未来就让它来吧，我们会携手去面对这一切挑战的！爱情太美好了！
