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.
片子节奏很慢，但讽刺性十足，一个伪君子老板用尽手段把自己的天平工厂做到绝对平衡。
看得我好生气，Javier Bardem来了也不行。
本片对于老板还有众员工的塑造也是极其精准。
倾斜的天平需要一颗藏在托盘下的子弹来维持平衡。
关于自由，有所讨论，关于人性，有所讨论，关于老板，有所讨论。很值得看看的电影，让人很有想法的电影，能了解更多我不曾知道的手段
喜欢演戏（拍电影）是吗，换个地方演（搞）吧，这里（电影行业），不适合你。
员工都是老板的工具人罢了，什么大家庭那一套，你给钱我工作，别想给我当爹
哈维尔·巴登可塑性简直太强了。演这种黑色喜剧真是大材小用。以前看过一部《恶老板》，也是妙趣横生、恶趣味不断。本片叫《好老板》，本来想看看有多好。结果发现是反语。只有更恶，没有最恶。简直太不做人了。万万没想到的是，貌似接受潜规则的女实习生才是以猎物形象出现的猎手。不知最后算双赢么？
走出影厅时，恰逢隔壁厅的《奇迹笨小孩》同时散场。看着他们湿润的眼眶，听着他们三三两两、不绝于耳的赞叹声，我感觉我肠子都要的悔青了。（《这个杀手不太冷静》+《李茂换太子》，这哥俩儿真是用实力证明了「谐音梗必摆烂」这句话的可信度与准确性）
7分，笑不起来的喜剧片，老板总是会耍点手段的，不过后生可畏，邻居女孩才是大赢家。
清走障碍顺利迎来评审委员会
国外的黑色幽默穿插从头至尾，而国内一谈到黑色幽默，各投资方都觉得格局小了要打开。哎，也不知道谁的格局小了。
喜欢芭蕾舞剧场那段平行叙事，镜头快速切换，剧院的观众仿佛在欣赏荒诞讽刺的剧情，然后爆发了雷鸣般的掌声，此刻的滑稽黑色效果绝佳
难道不是好老板吗？无私奉献牺牲才算吗？什么标准，经济社会里有这样的老板不是满分也是优良。
但大过年的，让人开怀一笑的电影怎么能不来个四星呢😏
有祖传天平厂的巴登可真够忙的，被辞退的工人堵工厂门抗议，发小因同事第三者扰乱了婚姻导致无心工作，睡了实习生却发现是友人的女儿，他还要帮员工的混混儿子安排工作，如此苦逼的老板，让我想起国片《打工老板》，但巴登毕竟是跟市长有交情的工厂主，指使混混打抗议者，让第三者勾搭实习生，最终总算在工厂评级前夕搞定了麻烦，但纵观全片，巴登的角色并未黑化，因为给他制造麻烦的人都做的太过分了——一次次帮自己发小解决婚姻问题，一次次应付抗议者，这也导致全片的叙事节奏过于缓慢（包括家庭聚会等戏份抻的太长）。而片尾时，敲诈他的实习生还没被解决掉，感觉这故事还没讲完，毕竟像天平一样拿捏平衡的巴登在本片中并未展现什么强烈的个性跟技巧，他只是为了保证经营，在有限度的防守反击而已。总的来说，是在欧洲现代制造业环境下，为资方站队
高仿“喜剧之王”之“魔幻时刻”。原版更好看，虽然但是，能成功把我逗笑也是一种胜利啊~（春节档真该多些这样的片，好过看到晦气的XX）
有笑点 没故事。二十块电影票我就忍了 六十块是想报警的程度
说不好看吧，有些桥段确实跟着笑了，但要说好看吧，却又觉得有点违心
如果不是那个会计骚扰还能免于法律惩罚而被迫动手造成伤亡，关心员工情感，包容员工失误，在外红旗飘飘却也在家红旗不倒，按时发工资，没有逼迫员工996，其他方面真的是个好老板，西班牙打工人要求太高了吧。同学女儿典型绿茶婊，那才是真正的不择手段。
