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.
失忆！记忆！完全没有抓住这个主题，利用好，会是一个很精彩的电影，但是本片只浮于表面了，如果不是连姆尼森+莫妮卡贝鲁奇，我都不想看，老爷子感觉被电影榨干了，已经拍不出精彩的动作片了这部电影其实可以走点心，可惜啊！
7分，比尼森叔前几部片子好一点，至少不是让尼森不停的去打打杀杀了，加入了失忆的元素在里面，配合他的年纪，剧情合理了一些。片子算是一个杀手救赎的故事，反派那一坨整的乱七八糟，结局自然是法律依然惩罚不了有权有势的人，但一个正义的普通人可以！
比连姆大叔前两部《Honest Thief》和《Blacklight》要好不少，但是并没有出彩太多。剧情老生常谈，动作戏缺乏紧张刺激感，莫妮卡·贝鲁奇和盖·皮尔斯都加盟了，一种“廉颇老矣”之感还是扑面而来，三星给不再年轻的三位演员
我以为他上一部的神枪手够不咋地了，我错了……没有最……只有更……唉～
连姆尼森真的老了，当年还能亲切地称他为大叔，现在只能管他叫大爷，过去动作戏是看点，如今已经变成槽点。
男主本来有多次机会可以生还，甚至说可以带着一块黄金离开，可在贪婪和人性的阴暗面下，又有谁能抵抗住诱惑？
要啥没啥，taste like shit.
《环游地球》后专心“埋”进糙汉路线的Zac，在地球另端渐入佳境；过往痕迹不断地消失，似乎也在迎来更有趣的职业转折
还行吧，人性如此，节奏紧凑，没什么特别的，结局从两人分开就料到了
两星半吧。开始失忆的杀手男一号在手臂上写备忘录时想起了诺兰的记忆碎片。镜头一转，记忆碎片的主角是警察男二号。两个主角在电影半程才开始接触。莫妮卡美人迟暮不忍心看啊。最后结尾以暴制暴是个什么鬼。
支持一下Martin Campbell先生...和Bobby用的兑换券
主角没发挥出作用，配角解决一切源头,推翻全局。
当盖皮尔斯看到另一位把重要的事情记在胳膊上的人的时候，做何感想？三颗星，给三个喜欢的人。
还挺喜欢导演马丁-坎贝尔的风格，包括之前的「英伦对决」
唉，连姆尼森老了，竟然没有撑到最后一秒钟，在1小时19分领盒饭了！怀念连姆尼森的营救系列，好莱坞像这样的优秀动作演员都老了，丹泽尔华盛顿，阿汤哥，马特戴蒙，布拉德皮特。。。。。动作演员接班人在哪里呢？那个《死侍》的男演员非常讨厌他，逼逼叨叨逼逼叨叨的烦死了！最讨厌看到他的动作片，都是低级趣味的笑不出的美国笑话！
行行行 勉强能给个四星了 老大叔居然不算是绝对主角了 我说咋卡司不算弱呢
好片子，虽然现实生活中不会存在，但是还是一部好片子。
虽然知道是烂片，还是会看，谁让喜欢的演员在里面呢，叔的电影是看一部少一部
要不是因为有连姆·尼森和莫妮卡·贝鲁奇，这么老套的故事拍得又那么拉跨。怎么可能还会有5.8分。况且两位主演都已经老了去掉他们，3.8差不多了。
片子只值三星，多一星给连姆大叔，70岁人了动作戏还能如此干净利落真是厉害
