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.
喜剧 虽然大部分是肢体笑果 但我笑了 我觉得就及格了 至于故事逻辑的小问题我觉得可以接受 还有点小思考什么的 还不错
你说咱这气氛是不是像电影？就应该铺首《当年情》。
话说刘平安天天健身吗
怎么说呢……用汤姆和杰瑞的方式写这帮放出来的人，我老了，我无法理解

对于他的第一部导演处女座和首次主演来讲，还算可以了
但是还是存在一些技术问题，比如音画不够统一、部分段落光源不足导致画面噪点太多、甚至是肉眼可见的穿帮…都挺影响观感的。
不说叙事，单就为这些小段子，我宁愿给三星，多加一星，因为它比开心麻花的好。
#BJIFF2021 No.2#北影节主竞赛单元影片，映后还有质量较高的主创见面活动，主创与观众一同全程观看的影片。全片摄影和美术令人印象深刻，其他方面属于一般水平，在资金有限的情况下一部战争片完成到这种程度实属不易。影片故事的大框架像《1917》，风格像《风吹麦浪》，尽管一些地方有似曾相识之感，但仍可见主创在艺术探索方面所做的努力。本片大概值三颗星，但冲着这样怀着赤诚之心为中国电影积极做出探索的主创团队，值得再为他们加一颗星。
确实还凑合，笑点还可以，后半段的反转有点硬凹
影像层面还是花了心思，非常顺畅！至于电影的内容，其实没什么太多解读的地方，它就是一场带有很强影像意识的革命电影，体验的过程就是电影最重要的部分。
“告别天团”切入点不错，村长被收高利贷的那部分剧情有点拉胯…
人生嘛，就是你来我走。
编剧功底不错啊！笑点密集 去电影院花钱看完出来不会觉得吃亏 张子栋真是久违了 老四的演技也是惊喜 刀爷最后的哭戏也很带动人 咋个分有点低~
东三省草根喜剧天团大集合，笑梗不断，哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！！！
四星半 这片已经有在线的了 导演小白 但是我会持续关注 这片子能打出来这么低的分数 信息量很大啊 导演挺你
还可以，合格消遣作品
发散了很多点，其中一两个深入了往下写，都不会让这部片子这么烂。好编剧不常有。
有几个笑点还不错，几次航拍远景，看得出东北工业城市的衰退，就如这部片子的卡斯，东北的二流喜剧集合，每个都脸熟，但你不一定叫得上名字。。
没有预期的烂，还是有点内容，能把整部剧练成一起，不像以前都是拼凑的小品。
