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.
OMG我真的好喜欢这个！！今天好开心！！！！！我想象的我的37岁也是这个样子的！！！！
没有最绝望的时候，绝处能逢生。
从《不羁夜》和《赌徒》，我喜欢马克这位并不像巨星那般闪耀的演员，虽然他的表演总是一个在几乎固定的举手投足的模式，加上不变的语速语调，总是那种不爱讲规规矩矩，自我的，另类的“德行”。想想多少个他演的角色，都被他一张沧桑的脸牵着走完大半部剧情，看来他每一次的故事，不经过一番大折腾（比如：变形金刚），要翻身落个好结局真是太不容易了。
船长确实有失误的地方，比如为啥就那么急不能留个字条呢，艰苦的旅行和生活身边有个好心靠谱的伙伴是多么重要，弑君者的演员确实很帅，但故事不够有冲突性和绝望感。
真实事件改编，平铺直叙。探险太废狗了，爱狗人士表示看的揪心。
承认这是近些年来我最喜欢的马克沃尔伯格。前半个小时有些 Lose track，但是后面节奏突然进入了很好的节奏，属于 Mark Wahlberg 的一种节奏。
前半段看得烦，这人性格真的是很烦又没礼貌，后半段病患后性格才开始入戏，人物故事描述到位，最终还是不错的片子。
人类探索地球陆地边界的历程是艰辛而又伟大的，面对自然需要勇气，也需要运气，谁都不知道冰冻与掌声哪个先一步到来。
不知道是不是美国冰岛挪威合拍才导致这趟极限之旅搞得和流水账一样……
2星半吧。剧情一般般。没什么引人入胜的。雪景不错。明明有两个人可以一直聊天 陪伴。居然还会有幻想。
Narrative is fluent and the performance of the two leading roles are good enough. Still the main issue is about the script. As a documentary movie, clearly it wasn’t realistic enough. When there’s a challenge comes to them, the audience wants to know the whole process of how they dealing with it in such a awful situation not a frame of days number.
纪实电影，讲述两个人如何在北极生存800多天终于等到救援，画面体现出极地的寒冷，有耐心还是值得一看的。
好几次都差点睡着……这片子真是又臭又长难以忍受……而且前女友真是倒了血霉了……信仰不能让你肌肉不萎缩，但是可能可以拯救迟来的父爱。优点其实还是有的，男主体脂从20%到50%的体脂的化妆是令人信服的。
没戳到任何笑点，就觉得好弱智好尬啊，二十年后大人的心智还不如小孩子，太可怕了。要说复古重塑校园青春片，好好学习一下当年别人怎么拍的吧！我只能说Rebel Wilson演得不错，把女主那种矫揉造作演出来了，从头到尾都很讨厌，心疼Martha和Seth。
基于真实故事的改编，将近3年的探险极地求生，能活着已经是最精彩的部分。
宗教传记影片，但个人觉得导演的重点并非宗教宣扬，我看到的是信仰之光。无论是否信教、无论是有神论或无神论，信仰存在于没个人心中，上帝只是斯图信仰的寄托，因为有了信仰，他才得以悔过、解脱和坚强，并把他的路带给有神或无神的“信徒”。我也是无神论者，我不是个宗教小白，但还是觉得此片很带感，感谢导演。
让人感慨的是，似乎确实看到了20年来青春歌舞片的变化，又能感受到导演致敬过去的想法。
srds 编剧水准也太chā了吧！不如小学生的水平
太慢了.....看得我急死了 总感觉有高潮等着然后.....就没有然后了
沃尔伯格演神父总感觉那些过去祷告的人会被他骂走……
