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.
战争的真实感不是在于枪林弹雨，是缓慢的危险，是草丛中的蛇，是仓皇的逃跑或追逐，是悄无声息倒下的身躯，是给俘虏喂吃的，是在非人般的艰苦条件中选择云霄之上的信仰
能把坦然赴死拍的没有这么悲壮，反而增添了些许诗意，确实很喜欢。
没有个人英雄，也没有宏大的场景，只是认认真真去讲这样一段故事已经足够动人
能把坦然赴死拍的没有这么悲壮，反而增添了些许诗意，确实很喜欢。
打戏不错，但是太无聊了，流水账的历史根本看不进去。
这部电影成功让我对战争电影改观了，原来主旋律作品还能这样拍？！真的强推的一部神作
一個人都沒記住
原田真人的水准还真是一如既往，拍个流水账都拍不像样。坐等役所广司的河井继之助。
咱就是说还行吧，这部我觉得不适合我这种小女生看，不过剧情挺好
对话后期配音本无妨，但放弃了对口型这件事儿，还处理出了奇奇怪怪的混响，哪怕拿个手机录音呢？大量无意义的长镜头霸占着眼睛，可又时常出现跟焦不准的画面，仿佛在告诉观众来看这部电影是你眼瞎，不知道是不是忘记付跟焦员工资了。电影聚焦几个人，可惜没有一个有辨识度和立体感，也没有一个拍出了和观众的情感连结，他们的受伤和牺牲，没有引起任何情感共鸣，辅以毫无感染力的音乐，只能感受到导演连切的洋葱也是烂的。想到老谋子的《狙击手》，顿感导演和导演之间功力的差异，可能比导演和素人之间的差异还要大。
有些压抑
对新选组这种大家都很熟悉的故事改编必须突出重点 这部片子没做到 导致大量历史人物只能走个过场
一个烂的没救的本子和一些努力在拯救本子的好演员。土方牌摄影机和一堆在仓促的剧情里来不及认是谁的人。打开燃剑之前我真的没想到世界上有人能把池田屋到五棱郭压缩进一个小时。角色吧也没足够的背景剧情支起来，剧情吧连个合格的流水账都不算。原田监督很会拍人，但别自己做编剧了谢谢。
此外，大概为了表现森林雾气，画面灰白黑，看起来像老电影。感觉看不清屏幕，再加上方言听不懂，满场灰蒙蒙的看字幕，难受费力。
剧情有点薄，美术风格别具一格。男主的表演渐入佳境，但总觉得神似法老，破坏严肃气氛。虽然总体不如预期但第一次在大银幕上听到景宁话还是十分Magic的。
残酷的战争年代，信仰是一个军人内心的终极关怀，自我意志则是他们抵达信仰的路径。
剧本逻辑有所欠缺，不错的画面设计，对许多人来说较为催眠，没有个人英雄主义值得表扬。
有一些改编不太喜欢，司马辽太郎应该不会这么写，大概是导演编剧跟庆喜有仇把他写的那么夸张？平助不是土方砍死的，池田屋杀阵好敷衍，是我看过所有新选组有池田屋场景最敷衍的一个版本，山崎烝的话痨，乡下版土方小碎步的走路方式总觉得很不土方，总之导演刻意要加一些喜感的元素反而很画蛇添足，局长和副长的身高差大概是全剧最欣慰的部分
个人的刻画挺深刻，黑白早就的战争无情感更击人心。
在接近黑白画面风格的处理下，最后下的血雨，画面转成红色真的有被震撼到，这场雨是有多少无名英雄的牺牲所换来的，极致悲壮又饱含希望。
