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.
这真的是处女作吗？
电影让世界更美好。这片子太屌了，五星起步。
后半段的法庭辩论反转太精彩了。
老白比徐峥本人可爱多了，不只是有闲有钱，还做事熨贴懂生活情趣：做饭时会在桌上插把花，把孩子弄脏的裙子画上画，特地买了你喜欢的话剧原著送给你，临走前还帮你坏了的鞋拿去修，即使长这样也有魅力。倪虹洁小野猫嗲又灵
社会意义还是很好的，但作为一部剧情片有点乱乱的
没想到反转之后还有反转，立意很好，反应了印度的种姓制度，女性地位，学术滥用，当然，最重要的还有政治。敢拍，敢发声，敢质疑制度就是很好的进步，很好很好。
剧情真的很拖沓，动不动就慢镜头。。。讲的点太多，倒是反转很无聊，不如拍连续剧吧。只能说三星的一星给题材吧
大学教师被奸杀，大众愤怒；警察说这是犯人，但是有人要保他们，大众又愤怒；法庭上又说你们被欺骗了，然后大众又愤怒。。议员总结的很到位，政治家最厉害的武器就是大众的情绪。
最近，印度好片有点多啊，《较量》的剧本是真的好，反转不太高明，没铺垫，以后说不定我国又要翻拍这部电影了，但是印度电影的通病就是太长了😂😂😂
如果不选择上海本土背景，是绝对发挥不出精气神来的，比如女性意识崛起（3个性格迥异的女人）、海派精神（生活与品味）、外来人口涌入（协管的苏北口音）、迷影情结（费里尼）。第一场饭局戏的唇枪舌剑瞬间满载惊艳，第二场饭局戏“上话人”周野芒的台词功底引人入胜，绝对是金马奖最佳男配提名水平。生活流的国产片算是稀物，考验着剧本的扎实及创作者的缜密与思辨，年度华语神作之一不为过。不过大众接受程度还有待于市场验证。
一群矫揉造作、满嘴cliche的小市民出来晒自己的豆瓣已听已看🤷🏻♀️ 郭敬明的文青版。难道外地人移居上海了都得有这么强烈的皈依狂热？
里面要讲的故事都是好故事，但这部电影没有讲好这些故事。但还是感谢这部电影让我认识了印度，让我再次意识到政治的残忍和民众的无可奈何，民众只能被操纵不是吗，他们只能被给出的部分真相牵着鼻子走。以及，这部电影最后不还是落到了政治斗争上面吗？只有哪边获胜更让民众受益罢了。
吴越“我只是犯了所有男人都会犯的错” 这是国产电影的进步哈哈哈哈哈
从各种禁忌社会议题到揭露政府黑暗面，印度电影的题材似乎永远没有边界，而我们只能在墙内望洋兴叹吧
之前看过数次罗翔老师的那条视频“律师为什么为坏人做辩护”，看了这部电影终于理解其含义。一个律师，不仅站在群情激愤的对立面推进程序正义，甚至站在昏庸的法律体系、草菅人命的政治体制、遗害千年的种姓制度的对立面来推进正义。庭辩的精彩程度不如同类的几部神作，但整个电影的思想高度是我们难以望其项背的。
要表达的东西太多了，后面就是为了反转而反转
那是片尾点题的爱情神话。
现实主义题材力作，直面多种印度社会问题，主角律师在法庭上的发言振聋发聩！虽然最终变成了复仇主题，但是瑕不掩瑜，这仍旧是一部非常有感染力的好电影！

这部剧真的很神奇，尤其是中国发生了唐山事件后，简直是嘲讽至极~
