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.
范伟演得好，画面很有质感，虽然一直下雪有点刻意吧，反派头子很装逼，不是说演的不好，就是感觉没必要，定位就是主旋律商业片，搞太多故作深沉的戏和唯美镜头，多少有点劲没用在点上
视听语言在主旋律电影里还蛮特别的 期待看看在自我表达的作品中表现如何
制作精良，很有质感，可惜落了个人英雄主义的窠臼。演技在线，人物却没太立住，可惜
3.9 人物刻画的有意思，snuff film的演绎也好，恐怖片一旦节奏慢下来就很显得高级是这样么
今天腊八 今年没有年三十
冒犯老人，故事也很无趣，反杀也不够爽
范伟演技真是封神了，每次看都觉得电影界欠他一个终身成就奖，实在是相当流畅自然，一出现就让人挪不开眼。本以为张涵予是武，范伟是文，没想到看到最后范伟是文武双全，被捕时刻的笑容超绝——无谓、释然、讥讽、自得，太多可解读的情绪。本身都笼罩在大雪之中，制作优良，还原扎实，给老故事增添了新色彩。
打得鬼子魂飞胆丧。
可以7，质量还可以，高潮到结尾很到位，智斗不掉线，但前期节奏有点拖沓。范伟老师夸累了。
这大雪和滤镜一点也不像我山东，直到小么哥出来，我真笑喷了，鲁味太足啦！！
不看完这部电影，反而是对他的尊重，我虽然想看看重拍之后是否会有奇迹，但看着看着就知道无力回天。#20220122
creepy
故事上没有什么突出，角色除了范伟老师外再没有鲜活的。虽为英雄，所做之事并没有很好的呈现出来。
西边的太阳快要落山了，太阳马上就要从东方升起，细细一品，嗯，这个片子绝对高级。
华谊多久没有如此踏实的做电影了，真是一改创作颓势之作。编导演服化道全部在线，特别是音效，繁杂之间细致不混淆，难度和呈现效果丝毫不输多年前的《长江图》。作为范伟资深影迷，必须说一句这是金马影帝又一个里程碑，演技集中展现的代表作！除了影迷熟悉的插科打诨卑微草根的微表情，这次的大义凛然耍帅装酷也是信手拈来驾轻就熟的感觉啊！怒赞！张涵予出场的那身日本军官服跟小时候看的小人书里的那身衣服一模一样，中年男人一下回到少年了哈哈。故事基本在合理范围内，有些具体情节踏进神剧但可以接受（全靠那些神剧反衬）。恕俺孤陋寡闻，这位杨枫导演打哪冒出来的，这是多高的出发点啊！
一个有想法的恐怖片导演拍了一部有想法的色情片导演的故事，恐怖片导演拍了步入老年性压抑女和性无能男的故事，色情片导演拍了农夫的女儿们的故事，女儿们都很漂亮有性格有想法，特喜欢二女儿有张超模脸身材也超美呀😄
算是我小时候的童年了，剧情忘了很多，但是主题曲仍旧记忆犹新，电影里头有变奏好评。但是剧情太拖沓，除了范伟之外的人物太单一，这也是很多抗日剧的短板。现在拍类型的工业水平我们有了，但是剧本还是有待提高。
该咋是咋比长津湖强。
演技还行，剧情平庸，编剧低智，为了煽情而设计很多奇葩剧情，大雪天披个披风爬墙是为了什么？为了绊自己么？反派又是死于逼逼。另外，春田步枪磨短了改成喷子也是醉了
五星给英雄们，给范伟的演技。有信仰的风骨。
