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.
看完这电影，我只想到了两个人，一个人是毛主席，另一个人是切格瓦拉。
断裂感，舞台剧感，太强。表演扭捏作态，有强行搞笑嫌疑。最爱最后的踩灭火苗的人，范儿正，自然。
影片的节奏感非常好，张驰有度，关键情节的交代和连接非常自然，是难得的把故事讲好的国产片。剧本很扎实，充满了对于电影行业的观察和自我反思。由于剧情的需要在各种不同的类型片中不断切换，却能做到游刃有余，实在是酣畅淋漓的观影体验。
还行吧，期待不高，所以看完之后觉得还行。大海死的太突然了。
如果一部片子靠个好剧本而不再注重于打磨拍摄、表演和台词本身的话，顶多也算是投机取巧。导演充斥着控制不住的表达欲，甚至还拿周杰伦《爸，我回来了》的歌词下手，闹哄哄的“致敬”了80年代的杰作《闪灵》，诉苦了影视业的“现状”，一篓子的酱油戏，当是在做什么，拍综艺吗？剧本杀这玩意，我以前总觉得是从电影里引申出的灵感，昆汀的《八恶人》我觉得是非常成功的例子；把一部电影搞得像儿戏，这难道不是买椟还珠吗，影视向市场作妥协，完完全全的倒退
值得鼓励，尤其是后半部分有所升华，比《不速来客》要强得多了。
曲终人不散
剧本杀之摄影机不要停，对剧情的反转感到厌烦。
一部有“韩寒”气质的影片，一部有“无双”情节的脉络，有佳句有欢乐，说着类鸡汤反讽的底色或多或少消解了逻辑漏洞。
刘导对于国内市场的口味和审美的把握相当精准。强故事性＋弱逻辑性的多反转＋鲜活浮夸的多人物塑造＋极强的舞台效应。这种配方相当能够打动国内观众的心。
三星半，我觉得还可以，国产电影拍这种悬疑题材好好拍还是能拍出东西的。结合最近小红楼事件就更可以说了。大家都那么喜欢张本煜，说明市场还是很需要这种有男人味的演员，也喜欢这种有责任心的角色
故事不错，用片中那句“越不会演戏的演员，认真起来，使劲的那种感觉”来说这部电影也是如此，迷影元素的自嘲那个劲哦。
立意和故事满分，特别是对于故事创作（观众迎合）和历史真相（艺术道德）的讨论。但是剧本过于舞台剧，技法又过于华而不实，表达又过与直白直给。如果能拍得再隐晦、再黑色、再精巧一点的话，或许可以留名。（好故事，喜欢的，但更适合舞台剧）
所以一定要有个牺牲的就是我们的大海吗。
白客呢？///看阵容很动心，看剧本有点担心。请不要扑街了啊///救命。可能因为看之前期待没那么高，看完之后简直想说一句：刘循子墨我爱你！！！另外，喜欢报告老板和万万没想到的人一定也会喜欢这部电影！当然，不只是无厘头搞笑，剧本也很丰富，有节奏，能打动观众。我猜这种风格不一定每个人都能接受，看到有的人提前离场觉得有点可惜。但是！我喜欢这部电影！（白客和小爱在后面打了个酱油哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！）
就还好吧，差不多的一堆人拍电影就老是一个味儿。
原本以为是精彩的剧本杀，结果总是加些有的没的滑稽梗，主要悬疑剧情又不好好打磨，逻辑尴尬，还要加上各种情怀，越看到后面越看不下去
有搞笑、有隐喻、有反转，也可以有观众自己的解读，不枉一张电影票。
四星半，确实是2021年最给我惊喜的电影了，现在觉的21年国产电影最佳是这一部，也是很后悔没去影院了。影片开场强烈的话剧感让我觉得新鲜好玩，前面的梗我就已经笑出声好几次了，没想到的是后面给我看哭了...刚开始的反转好猜，但没想到后面还没结束。几个人物出场可有意思了，各有各的算计和“猥琐”，越到后面竟都越顺眼了起来。里面有好多比较明显的讽刺，准备看看别人的解析自己有没有漏掉什么
可能是我知道的太多？脑洞开的太大？
