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.
Bgm跟心跳同频，把激动的心一直吊着，从头至尾都很沉浸。
故事还是比较简单的，接到目标之后就开始执行。比较惊讶的是全程都是方言，增添了更多的真实感。

音效丰富 完成度挺高 主要这个电影的调色来看的话 剧本就不探讨了 故事性差
国产战争片居然拍出了美强惨的味道，从镜头美学角度去开发这个小众的浙西南革命精神和挺进师的故事，孤勇的壮烈搭配讲究的美学镜头，让艺术价值和精神价值两者兼具，很难得
我对新撰組说实话真的不了解太多，对于土方、沖田他们的理解都是从銀魂里来的。看这部电影纯粹是因为朋友的朋友出演里面一个小角色（就一两句台词那种）。就我浅薄的历史知识来说，我觉得岡田和山田涼介的演技让我没觉得有很大的违和感，甚至对于他们俩有种刮目相看的感觉。我个人属于基本不看日本的电影和电视剧的，但是他们两个不得不说把自己的角色演绎的很好。剧情说实话，不了解一定历史的不太推荐去看，日语太难懂了剧情也难懂。我和日本的朋友一起去的，她竟然也没怎么看懂剧情，就证明真的不太推荐没有一些历史知识（or那个时代的日语词汇表达）的同学在日本看这部电影。
黑白色像极了从前的老胶片，那种独有的质感反而为整个故事增添了一丝艺术性，很喜欢的一部作品。
一句話也說不出來，土方你帶我走吧。
BJIFF2021in合生汇寰映//氛围塑造极佳，开场对恐蛇者极不友好（指我自己……）。故事线还算清晰，不过由于整体亮度很低，很多时候演员的表演几乎隐匿在“杜比黑”里，尽管口音与音色不尽相同，仍然花了很久的时间才辨别出谁是谁。安全灯格外扎眼，一定程度上缓解了水墨风带来的视觉疲劳（指看“黑白”累了就盯会儿绿的东西）……
司马辽太郎被原田真人和冈准给绑定了（ 比关原之战更加流水，但其实美学风格还是很对味，可以考虑拍成上下部？
可以看出导演和主创团队的审美是真的很绝，影片的质感和画风确实很高级，是战争片的一次大胆创新尝试
en。。。画面美。。剧情挺无聊。。。为一些任务。五星吧
还有明显的不知道是致敬，还是碰瓷赚噱头呢. ..太拙劣了吧
最主观的感受是恐怖…蛇蝎横行，突然出现的尸体，昏暗的光源，不断消失的队友，以及幻觉…战场的真实与恐怖的氛围被所谓诗性包裹…
打戏不错，但是太无聊了，流水账的历史根本看不进去。
大制作啊！有些人物细节还是挺有趣的，杀阵也是实打实地打，不靠慢动作转圈圈。但历史故事太复杂，而电影时长有限，想讲得多就难免就讲不深、显得松垮
最后的红色画面震撼到我了！云霄之上，信仰万岁！
不仅是简单的艰险任务，还有关于生与死的灵魂拷问，那些因为信仰而选择坚持的人，那些忠于使命而光荣牺牲的人，将永远被历史铭记....
