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.
另外，该片竟然不是用印度语
让人倍感震撼
当我们嘲笑印度人是“阿三”的时候，他们已经拍出了很多吸引关注的佳作，就像本片一样，尽管有些刻意，但好在敢于直面现实，而我们一直在拍战狼。
以印度的这个强奸率来说，判处死刑得少三分之一的人吧🤣
【亮点】印度片拜托了跳舞之后，走逻辑推理的路真的是好棒棒的
桑婆难得严肃克制。系统性的恶无形杀人后还要剥夺受害人的地位。对伤痛的表达刚刚好。
诶~我就是不说你绑的不是我妹~诶我就是不说人是我妹杀的~诶我就是个玩儿。（灯塔国JC这么受人尊敬？是反串黑么。6.5/10 1080P 21/12/30
审美疲劳了，但是背后的故事是震撼的。有趣的是，众人的评论一直一直跟着女主，走过走廊，走进房间，打开冰箱。
女性平权问题任重道远啊
眾演員演技在線，只是劇本重要設定有硬傷，令全片由頭到尾都欠缺說服力。而當前者愈做得好，就愈顯得後者反映的落差。本片的主旨、立意是善良的，但劇本不嚴謹就是不嚴謹，煞是可惜。
since you've started watching this film，as per statistics，8 women have been raped in our country.
新概念印度电影，标准的冲突情节剧结构，本土文化符号，印度社会现实的反思。电影作为集体意识的显示终端，女性视角突出，自觉成熟的女性主义表达，对新闻媒体的批判，个体自省。
阿叉嘅電影，時不時都有好驚喜嘅作品~~要睇嘅朋友最好影評介紹都唔好睇，直接睇電影~~2個鍾多少少時間，一氣呵成~~絕對係尿急都會先忍住~~
太难受了，真的太难受了，有一幕我的眼泪瞬间就冲出来了，影片结束缓了好几分钟，学院是因为觉得sandra理所应当这么精彩所以今年才不给她提名的吗？
结尾剧情很有看头，但看完感觉还是被套路了。。感觉系列化，模板化了。。立意很好，前半部创意不足。。
这个国家的人装聋作哑，除非你对他们大喊大叫。
当一个国家女性需要这样来声时
love is pain, love is complicated
除了警长家属的支线有点刻意，其他都很好。Sandra Bullock这么好的表演竟然提名都没提，离谱。
最近印度也开始对女性的权利和地位开始重视起来了。
