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.
拍的挺有感觉，演技都挺到位，但剧情真的拉。
要么在深渊 要么在顶端 两者都是孤独的
用脚做的剪辑，段落之间有很强的断错感，像是拼凑起来的碎片。虽然讲明白了故事，但没有任何代入感，谈不上角色塑造，都是工具人。莫比亚斯被蝙蝠包围的时候，差点以为这是索尼拍的《新蝙蝠侠》……
仿佛把《毒液》那一套又来了一遍，这整得我在影院感觉似曾相识的。唯一能看的就只有莱托的大胸。雷达视效做的蛮酷的，假币工厂那场戏背后电视机在放邵氏功夫片，疑似是《刺马》
并没有很热血，一般，男主这个演员天生有一种老实人做黑道的感觉，就委委屈屈的，又可以很狠，反正一切都是被逼的，要么踩在脚下，要么登顶。
咱就是说，现实讽刺也不用视觉上那么恶心人……我真的太害怕带羽毛的生物了，更别说电影里的这种了。
我炒，是我看过【新世界】后，唯一让我震撼的黑帮电影，绝对6.7分低得太多了
平开低走，过于拖沓，还烂尾。
黑吃黑，要么沉底，要么登顶。配乐挺好的，演员选的，没特点
曹东七说的没错啊，阿媚的对象当陪酒的不让碰还喝那么贵的酒，自己都有对象了，还出来干陪酒的，装清高？不是乞丐也是臭要饭的。真拿所有人当怨肿了啊
没有一个人是无辜的
像是文艺片，那个头发凌乱的疯子，果然是大佬
特效不错，然而用明暗“毒液”设定硬套“夜访吸血鬼”，剧本不讲武德。为什么所有反英雄最后都要找蜘蛛侠啊，放过他吧他还只是个孩子只想读书泡妞呀...
还行吧，青春期女孩的反叛，比较直白，观感一般，这妈挺吓人
說真的筆記一下，猶豫的一方會輸，重情義也會輸
畸形的父母反哺出畸形的儿女
“有人说过，我这种人只能去两个地方，要么跌至谷底，要么登顶为王。他还说，这两个都特别冷清，却毫无意义。有些人死了，有些人离开，火热的东西全部消失，一切犹如幻觉，变得冷清，毫无意义，但我们又要在幻觉中活下去，将耻辱与悲伤深埋大海。”
怎么说呢，想打个四星有点儿勉强。
没有一个人是无辜的
可以是可以，但也没有那么可以，但是总体来说还是不错的。
