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.
虽然对美国百般嘲笑，最后还是回到了人性主旋律的价值观嘛。随便架空这个岛国确实容易搞事，只是大海星死的有点快。
前半部分有点审美疲劳了，后面还好。罗比太美。
娱乐至上的基调，反传统的手法，明快的节奏掌控，使DC的《X特遣队：全员集结》这次带来了一种完全不同的观感体验，而这种改变很大程度上应该得益于詹姆斯·古恩的执导，他对超英群像的驾驭力早在《银河护卫队》中就已经得到了证明，更何况这次且得益于角色亦正亦邪的属性，使创作本身完全没有了先天的桎梏。
Look at me in the eyes and tell me you love me.
讲道理，滚导还是可以的，惊艳到的点，比如哈莉奎茵一路杀出花，peacemaker帽子反射的镜面打戏，鲨鱼人看到鱼缸，bloodsport飞身救捕鼠者2号，快慢镜头剪辑搭配比扎导版正联要好很多；一开始上来破掉旧版自杀小队引入新版似乎就奠定了整部戏基调，任务立马开始完全没有冗长的前奏，气都不喘一下，然后不断接着各种反转，被感动到一秒马上下一秒给观众摧毁，够暴力够血腥够恶心够R级，注定是一部只能我自己看的电影，密集恐惧症和对恶心东西感到烦恼的人慎入。
剧情设定和镜头语言将影片的黑色暴力处理得非常荒诞、幽默。几位角色特点鲜明、深入人心。
要是“我”做得更好
概念片，但概念也不是很新鲜，得亏了阿里的演技让这个故事还算可信。
7.5/10，前面一小时很无聊，后面开爽扳回来一些，古恩水平也就这样。哈莉撒花、雨中打戏有创意，最后"星战"也够爽，故事还是那老一套，叙事特别是前半部分非常割裂，何况剧情还蠢。短评里有和海王比的？还有dc最佳啥的？不好意思算了吧别丢人了。btw国产剧如果再拍手撕鬼子，咱还需要个鲨鱼王或者starro
我不懂，都可以完美克隆了绝症怎么还治不好？（对不起我有点杠）
优美又忧伤。以后大半夜不能看这种催泪的片子。
想起13年的Her。A swan song is the final performance of an actor, singer, composer, poet, or the like. According to folklore, swans sing most beautifully before they die, and hence this phrase came to be used to describe someone who was leaving in style.
导演果然不一般，难得看到一部不闷的DC电影，暴力美学搭配鲜花蝴蝶，密恐爱好者的盛宴，小丑女美出了了不一样的高度，全片透露着一股蠢萌的感觉，海星吸脸这招让我一下子回到了Rick and Morty，配乐好评。
克隆在科幻电影中已然不再是什么新鲜题材，但《天鹅挽歌》的不同，则在于电影既没有结论，也不做批判，它只是用细腻的情感表达将一个告别的故事，赋予了最为“无私”的形态。面对即将不久于人世的现实，是让深爱的人同样陷入巨大的悲痛，还是用克隆人替代自己，孤独死去？两难抉择下关于爱的挽歌，感人至深。
导演对科技的幻想不够充分，又对人性的美好过于乐观。事实上，没有人会希望自己被“另一个人”彻底取代，甚至连自己的死亡都不在这世上留下任何痕迹。
克隆人、面对死亡、身份困惑，都是老生常谈，不过这片好在放弃讲道理，把重点放在描述情绪，很感性，大量面部特写，配合音乐营造氛围，很适合在夜深人静时体会，一个人临终前回忆了自己所有难以言说的情感，看着另一个“自己”鸩占鹊巢，对家人的无私和嫉妒的自私交织，他的符号继续存在于社会，作为一个个体却被遗忘，这可能就是死亡的真相，不管留在身后的是什么都不是真实的“我”。
Mario Kart D-bag. Nom nom. Ratatouille. Kaiju up in this shit.
近未来电影初始包：钢琴配乐 空旷的建筑还有长得要死的面部特写。拍得太无聊了，80分钟我都嫌长。
在未来，如果有这样一个克隆体，它和你长得一模一样，拥有你完整的DNA以及所有的记忆，那么，你能接受它吗？又或者，你能接受你的另一半是这样一个克隆体吗？
看到最后一幕
