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.
这头重脚轻的结构真的不敢恭维，情感与人物关系是侦探类比较浪漫和深沉的了，但这流水制作能体现出来吗。这导演感觉个人风格真的很明显，就是那种纯纯的好莱坞👍；不确定是不是大陆上映包含最直白的同性关系的片子了，还好不多。
莎婆的小说让故事立住了，但这版本的侦探显得有些软弱无用，最终的真相也省略了一些推理的过程。所幸良辰美景不虚设，盖尔加朵cosplay的埃及艳后也让人惊艳了一把。
其实相对来说还是挺喜欢这个版本的风格，优秀的作品需要不同时代的技术和理解将它传承
两星，一星给尼罗河的自然风景。肯尼思布拉纳对最后自己解密的时候运用大量的Rap和还持枪的样子一定感到很满意。你看又是老子全剧最帅。口区~~！
话说，看了那么多部网大，这部的造型和人设倒是最适合谢苗的。
一开始就猜到凶手，但没想到Book和侍女也会被杀，有些可惜，爱让人疯狂
埃及风光宣传（不是）加了点zz正确✔最后推理完全没有紧张感...不知道是不是因为我知道剧情的关系
为什么要改编？？为什么要搞这么多政治正确？？？气死书粉？？？
"The romance of the desert has the power to seduce. I ask you: have you ever loved so much, been so possessed by jealousy, that you might kill?"
60/100 看得出肯尼斯·布拉纳还是在努力地为原作注入自己的东西，并试图深化爱情这一主题。结果是，案件本身除内置角色种族的改动（和对称构图上的舒适），其余并无亮眼创新之处，反倒是开头和结尾波洛罗曼史的多余存在。
比上部好一些，至少是及格了，群像有在拍，波洛前史也能起到串联作用，核心是基于爱情这个大前提，链条是完整的。另外，盖尔加朵cos埃及装束那段，看似闲笔，但其实是在调侃新版《埃及艳后》的多次难产，早早定下朵子大女主，结果愣是融不来资，李安维伦纽瓦都在这儿折过，算个也挺有趣的迷影梗。黑了肯布这么多年，这次反而觉得他有些可爱了。
纽约赘婿好丑 难以想象社交网络里的他和现在的他是同一个人 梅芙和加朵为什么不在一起 美女就应该贴贴 加多一个人在里面操着一口美音
估计票房还不错？不然我实在想不出为啥要投钱这样魔改。
肯尼爵都把菠萝的胡子给剃了，这片居然还能有及格分。。。说明🍍在窝巢真的没粉啊哈哈哈
华丽&暗流涌动 第一次看这个故事着实被紧张到了！
身为网大，问题难免不少，但电影胜在精湛的武戏和谢苗出色的表演，这是不可多得的质量。
【我已经投屏开始79电影版了】
景儿整挺好，歌儿也还不错，就是演技一般还有些地方太刻意，强加的政治正确也有点倒胃，选角还可以
总体还是可以一看，但是许多地方有些突兀，拍得有些流水，特效五毛。盖尔加朵烂片女王？
谢苗一口气拍了好多网剧啊，这个确实不错，好看
