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.
不愧是演员易烊千玺，演技台词剧情都非常完美，非常好看！很适合春节观看，青年演员易烊千玺加上青年导演文牧野，强强联合！
总感觉……女导演拍gay片拍出来像耽美，男导演拍les片则是黄片
众生皆苦。如果不是为了活下去，为了妹妹，又哪里来的这种努力呢？坚强不分年纪

人物众多却又无法展开。说到底还不是因为瓷器梦美丽易破碎。这个故事哪里有奇迹？不过是底层人民的自救罢了。
PS：原来电子厂福利待遇也还可以，进电子厂还是有前途啊~🐶
自从那堵墙塌了，我就再也没有抵抗力对待这样的片子。
为了亲情而不放弃不可能的事，一群不可能的人完成了不可能的事，底层在于动力源来自于哪里。如果不是为了亲情，如果不是这群人太糟糕没有其他地方去，如果这群人之间没有逆境中的情感联结，也许不会造就最后的奇迹。破釜沉舟，置之死地而后生，才有奇迹发生的可能。
画面很像电视剧，有些地方看着想制造笑点，但却是尬的。
爱和勇气果然是很可贵的品质。这部电影再一次印证这句话。对亲人的爱、对朋友的爱，敢于尝试的勇气、对抗生活的勇气。拥有这些品质的人，会得到上天眷顾的。
从内容上，也许最终的成功只是理想，大多数的追梦人都倒在了途中。
真的不错，有笑有泪，剧情诉说小人物的故事满分💯努力奋斗有好结果的💪💪
文牧野是个好导演，千玺是个好演员，其它没了。
1.妹妹完美受害者
主旋律框架下的命题作文，假，空洞。所谓困难根本就是披着困难外衣的恩赐机遇，那么，也就谈不上什么奇迹了。
文导讲故事的本领很棒，虽然没有《我不是药神》那么震撼，但依然很励志，还会戳到你的泪点，易洋千玺的戏越来越棒，这次甚至超越了《送你一朵小红花》中的演出，而王宁、章宇、田雨、齐溪、许君聪一众演员们的搭戏也都很精彩，在疫情肆虐的当下看完它，的确能让人振奋不已！
这个控制力太可怕了，看似永恒静止的山丘下面隐藏的是张开血盆大口的狗。
很励志。2次因为拖欠房租被赶，这才是正常情况。小缺憾就是在集装箱的工人应该进行一个小分工合作。这样效率更高。发布会也好也不好……瑕不掩瑜，点个赞！
相较于上一部作品作品来讲中规中矩，与《药神》相似的叙事套路，但是各部分之间的衔接和逻辑照《药神》差的很远，每一场景的部分单独拿出来讲，视听、调度方面都没有问题，但是整体的剧作结构并不流畅，有些地方甚至非常割裂，像是几段情节的单纯拼凑，全靠易烊千玺的表演撑住了一口气，如果换一个男主整个片子甚至都要垮了。大量的特写、情绪镜头，环境的塑造想要把整个深圳压在易烊千玺的头上，可冷漠的现实和人情味之间的关系也没处理好，显得刻意拔高和煽情。不过这都是和文牧野之前的发挥纵向比较，相较于当下的其他国产商业片也已经非常优秀了。另外这个片名.....能不能别这么敷衍啊！好好起一个像药神那样的好名字呀！
当然天赋这个东西还是要有点的
