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.
中规中矩，结局也emmm。
还好吧，故事背景我很喜欢，主角的颜我也比较喜欢。但是故事本身没有拍得很touching，而且各种追踪枪战戏拍得有点儿戏。三星半吧
有点无聊 想起了王小波的《似水柔情》 但影片远没有小说有意思
这是近来看过最好的一部电影，终于没有骂骂咧咧。喜欢这种缓而不慢，该出手时就出手的干净利落，故事不复杂，情感却不经意间出现在每一个镜头中。
“波兰人不喜欢波兰人快乐。”
挺流畅的，无论是悬疑剧情还是情感发展都处理得不错，加上结合时代背景营造的肃杀阴冷氛围，整体气质鲜明。🛏️戏那段光影和配乐太棒了。主cp蛮好嗑的（我觉得男主更好看哈哈哈（风信子行动这个译名明显更好嘛
太好看了。男主越看越帅，他的小情人小奶狗类型，太般配了🥺同性恋没有错。迫害同性恋的跟希特勒有什么区别？
我会找到你的，大约是这一对cp最美的情话。举步维艰的大环境，却开出了自由的爱情的花。为了自由，勇敢一次又何妨。
作为悬疑剧只能说是小儿科，作为平权历史剧还是有一些可圈可点的地方，虽然也只能说中规中矩。说实话我并不想看到一个双性恋或者同性恋警察发现自我、英雄救美，倒更希望看到一个直男警察凭着正义和勇气做本就正确的事。 说实话每次去同志公益中心填那些个人信息和问卷，我都担心这是不是一份粉红档案。假如有一天需要一个活靶子，不会是新疆人，因为政治正确，不会是女人，因为人多，也没有黑人犹太人，那最好的备选项当然还是性少数。那个时候我们又能对人民警察抱有什么期待呢？
那一段我欺骗了所有人，还是很壮士的。
男主和小帅哥还挺好嗑的，但是未婚妻太惨了吧。

挺平淡，也挺真实的
老派但应该是今年到现在为止看过的最好的同志片了吧，剧情紧凑且非常有现实意义，两位男主角也很来电，床戏滚得好， 狠狠扇着波兰当局耳光。“半个国家都藏着秘密”，历史和现实惊人相似。
男主的造型，尤其是发型与小胡子有点像老塔。
我欺骗了所有人 但你没有欺骗自己 // 快跑 我会找到你的 // 阴暗的角落中勇敢的人和纯粹的感情总是有独特的魅力
身处那个压抑的年代，身为同志还要不得不抓同志，终于付出了血的代价。
besides 男主真的很受哇。和未婚妻同框的時候莫名地嬌是怎麼回事
情欲与犯罪，自由与政治，简单却精巧的设计，禁忌之恋在社会高压和权力腐败下更显压抑
但我还是抱有一丝期望
