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.
最后出现白客 赵文瑄 挂出那张照片映射
一些自以为是的小聪明堆砌而成的剧本，影射了很多东西，但也只是仅此而已。
干的好。老屁股们要是拍不出来好电影就他妈赶紧的把位置腾出来给新人。干。
有点利刃出鞘的风格，但故事还是报告老板的故事lol
被人反向安利，看完觉得这电影意外挺好看的啊，前半部分啰嗦，但也很搞笑，到中间有一股《无人生还》的感觉，每个人后面都有一个故事。充满政治隐喻，居然能过审，我也很意外。最后越南，伸出手，又收回来，很触动。
“你们作为观众的解读会比我们创作者更高明 ”
值得鼓励，尤其是后半部分有所升华，比《不速来客》要强得多了。
主创肯定很喜欢电影，其实挺有意思的，但是剧情，人物，剪辑和用光都不太精细。
迷影情节玩得比较浅显，经典致敬都很直接，巧思设计出来是一种不惹人讨厌的投机，悬疑感喜剧梗和奉献精神糅合成一个不算有惊喜的故事，每一样都不算上乘，但加起来还是挺让人满意。我觉得可以了。
这剧本真不是设定在当代的拍不了就改民国？没有为时代背景做任何尝试啊。
还行吧，期待不高，所以看完之后觉得还行。大海死的太突然了。
6.9 曾经看的万万没想到团队进步真的很大，他们很懂观众需求——反转再反转，也懂一些影迷的需求——元电影，也懂一些青年的需求——强权的可怕
断裂感，舞台剧感，太强。表演扭捏作态，有强行搞笑嫌疑。最爱最后的踩灭火苗的人，范儿正，自然。
电影是一种生命的历程，悬疑电影刻画地就是参杂着煽情主义的不平凡历程。过程永远要比结果更有魅力。漫长的过程赋予事物生命和意义；跌宕起伏的过程给予观众非凡的经历和情感历程。
十分矛盾 喜欢和不喜欢的点都很典型 我本人是最吃悬疑推理这套的 但剧本的衔接还是有些问题 留白也并非恰到好处。而矛盾在于太多的解读和联想会丰富本身有漏洞的剧本 反而促成了一个看似“有深度”的故事 … 只是这剧本部分的“用心”始终还是没能挽救略显稚嫩的电影语言
导演说，电影最后一环的创作交给观众，而这满当的暗线伏笔，似乎准备将热衷推理考究的人囿入思量的汪洋。
除了不太像电影，其他各方面都还挺令人感到惊喜的，当然是作为一部导演长片处女作来说。
我搁这儿看你们玩剧本杀呢？想当然的推理，喜剧元素玩得也不好。这种揭露消费女性的作品依然有种消费女性的效果。
徘徊在3-的水平。气质四不像，情节欠考量，表面上最劝退的原因是男主太丑影响观感，深层令我隐约不适的部分在于主创想必觉得自己写出了一个“女孩帮助女孩”的角色可厉害了呢，实则这个人物很空泛，她所表现的“共情”不过是机械地输出观点，甚至带有些许作秀的尴尬（hello?人物弧光在哪？
3.5 十个项目九个凉，商业投资很正常。电影如草芥，在权力的倾轧与任意宰割面前毫无缚鸡之力；电影也很有力量，如水一般总能变换形态达到自己的目的，阐释自己的意义。记忆不同，真相不在，电影人会一直换一茬又一茬，只愿大家真的能保护好那颗赤诚之心。即使如此还是没法给高分，因为太讨厌韩寒那套段子集锦，破功又出戏，以及，没一个人算演的好的。而且坏警察编故事的桥段真的想到训练日。不过讽刺当今电影行业的部分，还行。
