　　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.

　　八位导演选择了差别的可怕片子，针对的是可怕片中常常出现的比方和太过利用的陈词滥调。

　　法国新浪潮电影大师戈达尔把美国好莱坞黑帮电影的所有元素用在这部非常刻意的政治恐怖片中，明显向该类型的大师萨缪尔?富勒、尼古拉斯?雷、霍华德?霍克斯等做了模仿式的致敬，片中还涉及许多真实的政治背景和暗杀事件。整部影片虽然显得情节荒唐，较为做作，但导演通过流行音乐（其中一首是《北非碟影》中的“时光流逝”）、广告插画、气氛处理等方法展现深受美国流行文化影响和主导下的法国社会景象。以《美国制造》为标志，戈达尔的政治批判意识进入其后期阶段。他将电影的叙事惯例当作现实政治在电影艺术门类中的主要表现而加以痛烈的反对。为此，他对电影的表现手段进行了极富挑战性的探索。

　　码头旁的一艘船中，发现一名受瘟疫感染致死的男性尸体。警探们发现惊人的证据指向受害者并非感染致死，而是遭人注射细菌，而这个人就在他的身边！

　　The movie is a throwback to a time when ordinary people enjoyed simple pleasures like going to their club, or taking in the pictures and growing their chrysanthemums in the adjoining greenhouse garden...so very British.
　　It is these very ordinary people that some artists have a great sympathy and admiration for in our often self-serving world. Nothing extraordinary about the movie or the couple but almost 60 years on, the acting still makes it a delight to watch.
