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.
3星，乍看是姐妹情深的故事，但其实反映了老美社会阶层的鄙视链。
剧情比较老套，配乐也是一惊一乍的，反正你会比主角先猜到下一步会是什么样的剧情！全程都是快进看的！ 用电影反应社会问题，这一点还行吧

Till it happens to you you won't know
整部电影如此真实的设定，不得不让吃瓜群众深思中心思想到底是个啥？doge
电影稀烂，唯一值得一提的就是影片最后一句话的，每八分钟印度就有一个女孩被强奸
为什么设定是妹妹，不是女儿？在跟养父母对峙时，女主说，是我把她养大的？？？？？？？？？？？5岁？？？？？养大？？？？
最后法律逻辑上，美国是无罪推定的疑罪从无。并且就算确定了5岁妹妹开枪也大概率就是几年监外执行。
要啥有啥，有始有终，最近看到的里面不错的剧情片了。2021/11/12大森家
前半段属于单调乏味节奏慢但又没那么差、主要适合给演员发挥（刷奖）的鸡肋故事，后面戏剧动态多了，观感好一些。
5分。不管演技咋样，剧情推不动啊。为妹顶罪的姐姐坐牢出狱后找妹妹的故事。在我看来，妹妹误杀别人，姐姐完全可以不去顶罪，五岁的小姑娘还能去坐牢不成？美国不知道，国内不就是教育一下家长就领回家了。美国也不可能给五岁娃判刑吧？既然和妹妹感情好，想要照顾妹妹，不离开她才是最好的方式吧？况且，美国法官判案不看证据？扳机上谁的指纹很清楚吧。这块逻辑过不去，我觉得电影不行。
这简直是泯灭人性
但是说不定看故事的我们中的某一个
故事里的主人公，一切诉求只为让政府重视qj问题，但很可惜，这么简简单单的案件，至今在印度没有得到改善。
本片被评论区诟病一些点，恰恰是我最喜欢的：不是每部电影都得剖析所谓人性的复杂，展现朴素的是非观不可以吗？对于女性来说，我们需要最直观的正义。
作为一部电影，也许并不够出色，悬念、转折也没有特别吸引人，但其中的社会意义却是无法用艺术价值来衡量的，有着十分强大的能量。衷心希望这部电影能够推动社会进步，让女性在印度、在世界无需再受不必要的伤害。三星。
虽然有着差不多的结构和叙事
除了演技之外，不知所以然的一部电影！讲的乱七八糟！
三星半，社会意义表现强烈。前面有些故弄玄虚了，后面30分钟不错。
虽然挺套路的，中段的时候猜到剧情的走向，但该有的反转还是很毛骨悚然……女主枪杀强奸犯的那一声没有声音的怒吼，是全篇最震撼的符号
