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.
人生嘛，就是你来我走。
开头好多蛇，有点吓人；很独特的抗战片，画面超美；有些画面像水墨画，想起了胡金铨，芦苇荡的部分竟然有点像塔可夫斯基
相比主旋律电影的恢弘叙事，这次镜头用山水画般的诗意美学，对准了一群普通士兵。他们大多很年轻，接到军令，48小时完成任务。在迷雾缭绕的山林中，与敌人殊死搏斗，从开始有人逃避，充满质疑，到循着光走出山洞，从容奔赴战场，坚定信念，完成了人性懦弱到勇敢革命信仰的转变。身在泥沼，心在云霄。最后那炸破敌人弹药库的轰隆声，如同惊雷一般，响彻大地，仿佛在致敬那些无名英雄，致敬浙西南的革命精神。
6.2.和《烧烤之王》这种典型的商业喜剧完全不同，讲了一个喜剧外壳悲剧内核带点淡淡忧伤的小故事。几位喜剧演员都收起了平时的张牙舞爪，自然地讲了一个带点反转的故事。然而这种拍法也会让带着图一乐期待的观众失望。崔志佳还是有才气的，值得鼓励。迷影情结也不错。
原本以为就是一部单纯的喜剧片，崔志佳还是有点东西的。
当年爱笑会议室这么多爱打拼的“小演员”，总算一个个的长大了！网剧拍成这样，真心不错！佳佳呀，加油！多出点儿好作品！大大的赞！！！
跟烧烤比还是强一点的 求各位二人转演员别煽情了行吗我可真是烦死了 一emo一煽情就尬到头皮发麻 没深度就别硬拗了
该说不说，比目前大多数开心麻花流水线电影好看。
开头绕着树的那个长镜头很精彩，结尾让我想起了《鬼子来了》，有意味但少了劲儿，部分场面令我想起我前年创作的短片（黝黑的衣服、手挖坟、吃果子、大雨等），当然这部做得比我的那部短片好太多了。
监狱都放过他们了。怎么你还不能原谅呢？爱与放过。
前半段还是挺好玩的，有几个能让人笑的梗，后半段不知道为什么开始煽情，就没什么意思了。
故事简单，摄影机距离克制，表现招摇。为有牺牲多壮志，敢叫日月换新天。一场摄影机的十里相送。
三星半，挺诚心的，值得鼓励，最后的彩票点睛之笔。
挺好的一个故事雏形 再打磨打磨可能就可以很精彩 大部分时间都因为过度的美术手法看得云里雾里 人物虽然比较真实但也没有太立得起来 但鉴于最近“那种电影”越拍越烂的大环境 这部至少有些人性的光辉
网大还要啥自行车，这就是过年了。确实挺好的，有几个地方笑果不错。
即不写实也与诗电影无关，甚至连电影节奏都拿捏不对，就是部劣质斯坦尼康合集
比这个杀手不太冷静好看多了。乐了就完了。梁龙那我真憋不住。
感觉带东北两字的电影，都是这几个人在拍的了
之前看过箭厂的纪录短片，就是关于释放人员从事殡葬业的主题，很有感触。崔志佳把这个苦涩的现实电影化、喜剧化，仅这一点就值得大大点赞。整部电影充斥着东北典型的人文特质，尬且热烈，温情满满。虽然剧情为了表达主题有些生硬，但仍然瑕不掩瑜，是一部用心用力的好影片，茶余饭后值得一看。
北京电影节天坛奖是吗 下次记住要避雷了
