百万美元酒店是一座汇聚了三教九流的酒店，亚洲区这里有着各色各样的人物。一天，亚洲区一名青年从酒店楼上跳楼自杀了，FBI探员史金纳（梅尔•吉布森 Mel Gibson 饰）奉命来到酒店调查。面对各色各样并不好惹的人，史金纳利用手段拉拢了酒店的智障住户汤姆（杰瑞米•戴维斯 Jeremy Davies 饰）和另一个住户妓女艾易丝（米拉•乔沃维奇 Milla Jovovich 饰）帮助调查。原本平平无奇的案情，却因死者是传媒大亨的儿子而变得扑朔迷离。原本对此漠不关心的住客们，为了能从死者父亲那里获得一点好处，而各执一词，对案件做出各种各样的假设，其实多数是不着边际的谎话。而汤姆由于不是心甘情愿地帮助史金纳，出于道义他隐瞒了案子的内情。面对这种情形，史金纳也措手不及。为了理清案情，他只能使出“非常手段”。

回复 :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.
