Brut Force

A film noir murder mystery set in the beautiful wine country of California, this film addresses power struggles in the present (poor farm workers/landowners rich enough to pay off the cops) in the past (native americans/well-armed invaders) while keeping the plot and action flowing through countless clues and a haunting soundtrack. Complicated plots intermingle to reveal deep and meaningful backstories. One of the few murder mysteries I've seen where you know enough about the characters to care if they die. With action scenes to get the heart pumping and a love story to boot, this film had everything I could want for some Friday night fun.

Actually a handsome movie. He is not good but quite a mediocrity.

The actors convince the story and the dialogues are very fad. It's all trailing and tension you can rarely find. Too bad.

The extreme realism of the film reaches the point of being annoying compared to many films that claim to be realistic and philosophical. And this is because maybe we expected to see a film without acting and only with some styles. But trying to play an emotional game makes the film even more realistic. Too much loyalty to the initial plan of the script leads to bugs in the story. We should stick to the original plan when everything goes according to plan. The music is definitely one of the weaknesses of the film. And finally, a complete drama film with a slightly incomplete ending. Even the funny parts of the film have a realism, whether intended or not...

Film Noir in COLOR! The acting, the sound, the cinematography were all great and pushed the movie along. The story is engaging and seriously picks up at the end. I don't want to give anything else away. Enjoy!

This film had me on edge right to the very end. Brute Force is about a newly fired reporter who returns back to her hometown in California to investigate harassment issues from workers in a local vineyard. Things look straight forward but as the story develops she uncovers a bigger web of lies and crime that one would not expect. This is one of the better thriller films out there to date. Well done to everyone involved.
