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.
很常规的套路励志片，不过可以更系统地了解NBA的文化环境与工业运作，作为篮球观众体验还不错。
桑德勒延续原钻的好演技，埃尔南戈麦斯略显木讷，肯尼史密斯演戏挺自然，爱德华子有惊喜。看到各路NBA球星客串，有种当年看like Mike的感觉，好多年没有篮球题材电影了，很欣喜。
华子的垃圾话太扎心了，最后结局也是寻常套路了，实际的话前两次机会没了就真的没了。
不想当教练的球探不会是好球探，体育片虽然很套路，但真的很燃啊。
就电影本身比较一般，但是正片集结的大牌也太多了吧。像是篮球的巅峰群英荟萃，豪华盛宴，不仅 NBA 球星扎堆，连街球大佬也一一露相。除了乔丹科比詹，这里面出现的足够大牌了。只是小小的疑问一句，为何主队76人的片子却没有当家球星。。
我太容易被运动片带动了，又重回当时看nba时候的心情了
NBA永远不缺童话，缺的是发现千里马并且带着一起创造童话的伯乐。
为什么会有人一直带着首饰打球…熟面孔挺多，AI好肥…
喜剧的空间很大，但并没有做好。一个打野球的暴躁小子（还15岁就有了女儿），一波三折登堂入室进入NBA的故事。值得回味的就是和诺维茨基的那通视讯电话了，可惜这种梗太少了。
亚当桑德勒NBA人脉大拼盘……传统美式主旋律励志片~
虽然没那么健康，但是又爽又快乐
就像吃炸鸡喝可乐一样
俗套的故事，如果不是冲着亚当叔去大概率是不会看，故事流畅但也能看到ZQ时代下的种种“嘲讽”~
老詹搭台，全联盟唱戏，就像是看了一场互动真人秀，我这种已经多年不看NBA的老球迷看到一个个彩蛋都兴奋不已。但是存在很多现实性问题以及人物逻辑不通，比如球探的挑人标准，Bo从业余到专业的过快适应。76人这个家族设定，老爸去世儿子乱搞，女儿先韬光养晦随后出来重整河山，巴斯家族表示你还可以写得再明显一点…
天赋+训练+贵人 算篮球题材电影中比较细腻的，值得看。
不走运的球探
一个底层建筑工，进入NBA的励志故事，先别感动，首先，你要有天赋。
为了篮球，为了每一个没能成为励志故事主角的人。
有篮球魂的要来看 4星 结尾不足 They can’t kill you if you’re already dead. | Never back down. | You’ll never be soft again. You’ve got to be an iceberg out there. | You know what’s not cool? A grown man hurting another grown man’s feelings.
会想到和威尔史密斯相比，亚当桑德勒对自己的职业明显更敬重，更有规划，更爱惜羽毛。犹太人的聪明劲儿。
