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.
范伟影帝，每一根睫毛，每一条鱼尾纹都是戏，感染力老强了。张涵予演这类题材的是不是多了点，都是一个样，没啥亮点，还有那个小护士，貌似可有可无
这片子可聊性不高，是看完预告片符合我心理预期的那种片。周末没啥事想去电影院可以选，但是没有必要专门为了看而跑一趟的那种。
剧本糟糕，节奏缓慢。平铺直叙，昏昏欲睡。非常非常糟糕的电影，因为浪费了好演员。
我前几天刚读完海淀读小学的侄女作文，亲测编剧不如个学生作文。范伟是我唯一的看点，奈何最后人物也触犯了智商线。这片还有人能夸，是真的比我有勇气。
私以为要比八佰和长津湖更好，更具有电影的气质。震撼程度可能略逊于长津湖，（可以去看纪录片，更加真实震撼），但是电影带给我的情绪，心灵的激荡以及美感，一定是《铁道英雄》这部更甚！特别是《弹起我心爱的土琵琶》的音乐🎶想起的时候！
辽北狠人这次不当伙夫当领导，花生米和酒里全是演技，不愧是金马影帝。摄影真是不错，这也是最初预告片让我眼前一亮的地方，画面有质感。除此之外好像就没啥特出彩的方面了，当然，比香港著名*员跟他儿子拍的那版好多了。
其中有一些分镜和剪辑挺规整，适合初学者了解。
基努·里维斯、凯瑞-安·莫斯的再度合体，让作为“黑客帝国”粉丝的我老泪纵横啊，尤其是基叔的状态，太好了，长发很帅，一个寸头再加上中国功夫，简直酷到没边，尤其是骑摩托车时，一个“空掌”，宛如战神啊有木有！
一星给张涵予一星给范伟最后一星给导演服装美术道具和画面吧，不能再多了
真的拍得好难看啊，2个多小时，浪费时间的感觉。。。。冲着张涵予和范伟去的，好失望。。。。。
有些模仿西部片的痕迹，但还是太神剧。日本军官不仅话多，还非要拉着对手喝酒，最后被反杀，这教育我们没事别劝酒。
画面挺有好看的，但是总感觉很别扭，摄影风格像是在拍摄现代谍战片！
本来大有可为的故事，还是被拍得中规中矩，浪费了几个好演员和一个好题材。冗长拖沓的情节，脸谱化的正反派，使得关键的两大要素——故事与人物——塑造得乏善可陈。
2故事老套，毫无新意，腐烂的味道。剧作结构是有大问题的。人设不信服。哪里冒出来的日女人？莫名其妙，一个中国女孩为日本人医治。 是在是想安排女演员吗？
我觉得不需要想所谓的逻辑，还是挺爽的，可能因为豆瓣这么低，所以预期不高。凭良心说7分-7.5分是可以给到的。豆瓣从早期的客观，发展到现在的极端情绪，哎。
优点：范伟老师绝对值得夸，张涵予，魏晨这些人都正常发挥，杨浩宇饰演的教导员不是边缘人物，特效画面不错。
前半场我以为自己在看SNL的一个吐槽sketch。话说我真的宁可看Jonathan Groff和Neil Patrick Harris唱一出音乐剧，也比一遍遍看20年前的flashback强。可能借Smith之口说出那句“是华纳在强行要求拍续集”时，导演编剧在疯狂眨眼暗示“我们也是被迫的”。
后半部分有些情浮于事，如果能拍个电视剧更好，电影删减得不够
如果我拔管能去到一个这部影片没有发生的真实吗？
和《悬崖之上》一样，胜在氛围，败在脱离史实。
