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.
影片名和剧情倒是比较贴切……属于玩转逻辑的小片儿，玩弯弯绕的逻辑思维影片。不能说是经典，但有些看头。
太难看了，还这么长，整个电影的节奏太奇怪，情节转折都非常生硬，开头结尾和中间完全是两部片。动作戏也毫无亮点，曾经的烟花爆头爽片感哪里去了？当然Matthew Goode出场的第一个镜头我就知道了……
剧本还不错，单一场景内的冲突设置，人物刻画基本合格，动机也还说得过去。大致剧情走向可以猜到但同时又留有悬念，值得一看。另外一条女黑警的情节线其实可以再拓展下。
密闭空间的犯罪动作片有好多珠玉在前，本片并没有太多突破，既不是爽片，也没有成为烧脑好片。黑道掮客、职业杀手、好警察、坏警察等各色人物和一个目标多路人马的设定，如果拿给盖里奇或者昆汀，也许又是一个多点叙事反转不断的精彩故事，本片的线性讲述比较平淡，节奏虽然还算紧凑，但剧情走想基本能猜个七七八八。不过几个演员基本还算完成了任务，陷落哥巴特勒，战狼哥格里罗表现中规中矩，反而是那个神经病般的杀手抢了最大的风头。黑人女主的存在纯粹是政治正确的结果，主角光环太耀眼，散弹枪近距离射杀都能用防弹衣挡住。几个白人警察杂兵太无智商，挂得都那么潦草，严重拉低了全片的质量。小成本片子就这样吧，打发地方时间将就看看。
结尾有些太ideal了，反而降低了片的观赏性。
《续集不该存在系列》《中老年特工成长记》《不卖腐不是英国人系列》
如果不是杰拉德·巴特勒在封面，这就是个烂片，镜头处理的很好，但剧情太拖沓，不是无聊时间一定看不下去，还不如去看同一导演的天龙特攻队呢
别抱着杰拉德陷落系列的希望看，被微冲近距离突突居然都不死
真的是太！难！看！了！拿腔拿调，自以为是，用Kingsman的名字招摇撞骗！两分给Harris Dickinson的颜。其他的滚粗！
很多情节和人物都没有必要。感觉最出彩的就是那个Anthony，确实像个变态。
黑人都快拯救宇宙了，这太正确了，黑人警察，白人骗子和白人杀手，另外这故事放十年以前也不算新，确实没甚意思，女警就跟傻子似的，就是斯巴达还耐看点。
6.2。演员太少，所以没办法很多战斗场面，嘴炮多了点。就子弹下改密码那段有点意思，女演员还不错。后面垮了
难看炸了，疫情期间商业片都交出些什么玩意儿，烂的无力吐槽，片长天荒地老，废话连篇，如坐针毡，拿腔拿调，冠冕堂皇，上两集起码还有漂亮的动作戏可以看，这部“起源”全靠嘴炮，一众角色蠢钝如猪，一场干巴巴的击剑对峙，就是整部电影的高潮，成本压制，穷酸潦倒，院线片就拿出这种东西糊弄人，更佐证了流媒体是这个特殊时代最最重要又不可或缺的观影媒介。★
原来是前传。不过扯了很多欧洲的历史，把英美德俄都拉来了。动作戏还是有圈有点。老爸色诱刺杀那个男人的戏太辣眼睛了。
这电影明显不是为了让我们看枪战场面而自嗨。紧凑的情节，讲究的画面（昏暗中的质感-考验投影仪和电视素质），最主要的是导演独树一帜的作品风格。从片首女警耍枪的镜头，就能感受到不一样。是我的菜。
芭蕾元素的动作戏很有趣，战场的不敢出声的殴打很有紧张感，能知道kingsman的传统的起源身为粉丝很高兴
因为我是快进着看的，所以给4⭐️，最后拖沓的阶段没感觉到哈哈。这样整体感还不错
剧中的警察，除了女主角，其他警察都集体智商掉线。配角金牌杀手显示出少有的动作电影中的干脆利落。剧情很老套，血洗警察局。
近教科书级别的单一场景多人物多边冲突剧本了
看场面看卡司，应该属于投钱不算少的，居然能拍成这么一个四不像，不着四六的智障范儿，也是挺不容易的。//本来是两星的，直到那个满地打滚，一心要去前线找死的公子哥儿终于求仁得仁，这就是全片最让我爽的一幕了，赶紧在这打止后面不看了，保持这一秒爽。
