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.
确实反转和悬疑，也拍得合格，演员们表现也不错。就是不够惊喜，黑色幽默有，只是不够好。巧合利用得好就是好，如何叠加产生剧情需要的冲突和设计，恰如其分表现出来，难哦。窦骁的小怂外卖员和最后的财欲焚心的黑道大佬似的，只能说明，这个男人只是平时怂，一旦有切口什么坏事都是做得出来。缺了一个给自己的借口而已。
室内案件电影，套路就是从各个人的角度交织做一些逻辑推理或对白情景。6.7
剧作模仿痕迹较重，人物塑造有些敷衍，镜头语言合格，演员没啥问题，6.5。
同一空间不同人物的多线叙事，玩的挺溜，前面各种反转猜凶手表现的也还行，就是人物太少了，凶手并不难猜，最后半段的剧情就乏善可陈了，还慢镜头，昏昏欲睡
说真的小成本新手导演学盖·里奇学昆汀的太多太多了，我都看腻了。
感觉和《无名之辈》有点像，最近还挺喜欢这种一个室内就完成的片子，不断反转，挺过瘾的。
（玩手机听电影系列）出乎意料的好看了，挺惊喜，国产大烟枪
仿佛盖·里奇电影和《惊世狂花》的拼贴，狭小空间多线叙事诸多人物粉墨登场。如果是导演的处女作，说明宁浩有接班人了
倒叙插叙的循环使用揭开悬疑，再套上人物的“虚假”设定 ，结尾反转。大陆悬疑片不定期会来一部编剧高于平均水准，遵循悬疑片的发展规律。
7分。剧本杀，一幕幕递进，揭开迷雾，很多反转，有惊喜也有遗憾，有出人意料之处（比如张颂文不是尤先生），也有刻意为之（比如认亲），但是每次重复剧情稍显拖沓，可怜之人必有可恨之处，好人难做。
新人导演有想法但阅历和经验不够，除去范伟张颂文和窦骁的表演，本质就是个简单的半小时舞台剧，内核空虚，很多可以深挖的地方都浅尝辄止。还时不时要炫一下技，导致节奏拖拉，戏剧张力时强时弱。这类片子逻辑和伏笔很重要，但本片深究起来有些地方逻辑有问题，伏笔也只有锁柜子和手电筒。不完美，但是值得鼓励。
自作聪明——外卖员想冒充就冒充？都有身份备案的，马明亮的策划太低能
没什么太大意思，故事靠巧合推动。节奏看起来快，但实际上无意义的废剧情废台词挺多。表演也就那样，前期故弄玄虚的地方挺多，最后感觉就是不过尔尔。
头开得不错，可惜编剧和导演功力不够，结尾圆不回来。但是演员们的整体表现还行，只是被剧本的逻辑不严谨给拖累了。贩卖儿童乞讨的时代背景应该放在90年代，看了看评论，明显有很多年轻观众对这种操作感到陌生，改成恋童癖买儿童，都会比乞讨更有说服力一些。
可以理解为三个版本结局 所有小孩得救 范伟 张颂文 活下来，第二种窦骁杀了所有人 警察来了被捕 其他人都死了，第三种 窦骁拿钱 跑了。
洋葱一样层层剥皮抽丝剥茧，最后真相大白，过瘾
怎么破的房子还进来偷东西？原来是同行做了记号想捡漏。张颂文这欧式宽双眼皮割得太假了。这地方一看就是重庆。这个尤大成好傻逼。我发现窦骁在电影里都要露点的，因为身材好。不报警，直接黑客公放，是怕有腐败？作为一个退休的身体不好的前警察，为什么之前不报警，让自己的警察朋友查案，要自己一个人去找？
刻意为之的黑色喜剧，黑色效果和喜剧效果都很牵强。用心了，但缺乏才华。
类似的电影不是没有，就没见过这么操蛋的，你们确定是来搞事的？
优酷。女主角有点眼熟，原来叫朱珠，好像参加过《极速前进》综艺
