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.
真难看，黄正民抢到枪扔了再逃跑！是几个意思！！！
C罩杯好亮（啊不是，韩版翻拍的其实不错，变成了俺喜欢看的黄政民动作片了，棒子警察一如既往废物啊
一定不要把这个和真实事件对比，也不要和原版对比。因为这就是个简单的个人英雄主义电影。黄政民是绝对的主角，剧情也为此服务而做了不少改变。因此也逃不过情节的幼稚和愚蠢。
C罩杯好亮（啊不是，韩版翻拍的其实不错，变成了俺喜欢看的黄政民动作片了，棒子警察一如既往废物啊
我怀疑这部电影像韩剧一样边写边拍。绑匪登场的一瞬间就极度引起了我的心里生理不适，这一点还挺成功的，以为不会开倍速的我还是开了，唉
有点儿对不住黄政民三个字，原版最出彩的就是绑匪，翻拍的绑匪有些逗比啊。黄政民，你要是被绑架来拍片，你就眨眨眼。
虽然刘德华王千源那部原版其实也很一般，但还是比这部翻拍版要好，好不少。即使不和原版比较，单纯作为一部全新的犯罪片看，这电影也很难及格，节奏拉垮、不够跌宕、反派的行为很迷。总体也就是看看黄政民而已。
最后一幕看的我也想蓄胡了
丁青那个狠劲儿真的是演出来的。咋不给李政宰打电话呢
中后段有所改编，远不及中国原版，最重要的匪首角色与王千源版差距明显，没有给全片增色。也让我觉得黄政民在演“黄政民”这种奇怪的感觉，黄政民这片没提名青龙也挺正常。
三星-：如果单论本片，你会觉得黄政民挺能演也很会装，以为是条好汉。对比过两个版本之后，瑕瑜互见，没啥好多说的。
逃不过翻拍片魔咒，可以竞争老黄电影里最烂的一部
确实没解救吾先生好看，但本土化做的也不错。最大的看点是黄政民饰演黄政民，但是个人觉得这几乎是黄叔最不自然的一次演出，倒不像是真实的自己。
是翻拍的中国的王千源那部解救吾先生电影吗，拍的还行，但是感觉原版更好。
韩版解救吾先生，虽然有黄政民演自己，但是从剧情到角色深度都比我们原版差不少，特别是韩版绑匪，和王千源的原版完全木有可比性，原版绑匪实在很难超越…
难得有韩翻中还拍得更烂的片子，黄政民简直是丑帅丑帅的
你要说韩国电影现在很棒的话，总有这种垃圾出来打脸。这么好的本子翻成了这样，还有就是韩国电影必须要侮辱韩国警察吗？也没要你多出彩，哪怕警方有个正常人都成。。
❌剧本来自#解救吾先生 却没做成悬疑片 反而折腾成了动作片 怪异
翻拍能力一般，韩国人已经完全不相信社会警察和体制了。
还没看过原版，感觉就是个很普通的绑架故事，加了一点明星被绑架的噱头。
