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.
喜羊羊和灰太狼上一个虎年的大电影《虎虎生威》感觉还不远，这次的虎年大电影是热血篮球。原来是筐出胜利的大电影，感觉就是在原来人物设定的基础上让它们去演了灌篮高手……粤语版听起来蛮带感的。
原来我在看绝杀慕尼黑！？甚至我和小王还能吐槽到灌篮高手和黑子篮球，甚至是排球少年hhhh不过大年初一和小何在一起，比去年看式神令的观感要好，不错。
虎威挺酷的，有点坏男孩的酷。他和他老爸间的矛盾，挺像现在父子矛盾的
小学生可能觉得幼稚。二十五岁的我感觉刚刚好，就是这个画风怎么不一样了

歌曲热血，好听，有青春的力量。
剧情太过乏善可陈，总觉得看过了无数次，也不知道借鉴了哪些片子？但是梦想，热血，青春……全世界的少年都一样吧。
我们虽然是子供向，但是一点也不糊弄人！真的拍得很好！
只能说这类话题已经看够了，前两天看《虹猫蓝兔火凤凰》也有同感，就是有的动画作品只能小孩看。
还挺燃的，不过喜羊羊好没有辨识度啊哈哈哈哈。
看的很认真，可以说很真实，有很多地方感动到我了，热爱真的可以战胜一切
三渲二太多了，动作流畅度太拉了，经费都使球场上了，制作水平可以说是都不如十二年前的虎虎生威，剧情啥也不是，脸一直在崩。

很燃很热血，就是被时长压缩得节奏有些过快。
有的人表面上是灰太狼，实际上还是智羊羊，王稼祥，陈独秀
仅打星给我的NBA青春，其他再见，对了，儿子不知道老爸是篮球明星？
虽然它前半段剧情其实真心不咋流畅，但顶不住它真的燃啊
“对了，喜羊羊，我们认识多久了？”
陪儿子看的，他自己已经反反复复看了几遍了……我不评分
