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.
合格的儿童电影。以前看过童话，所以去看了电影。看的过程中还是能唤起我对童话的记忆，但明显不可能如小孩一样入戏那么深了。同场的小朋友看得既开心又难过，情到深处，旁边的小女孩都哭了起来。这部童话还是比较低幼的，要是能把《魔方大厦》真人化就好了。八十年代的故事背景也很有回忆里的感觉，只不过演皮皮鲁的小朋友很像《少年足球》里的大师兄黄一飞，一旦你注意到这点，你整部电影都脱离不了这种感觉了。
为了犯罪题材和崔宇植来看的，但是说实话，不是很理想。一方面可能是节奏不当，还有导演显得青涩的镜头语言。
拍的有点感觉乱了，但是也还行，韩国做这种电影确实强。
超前观影打卡。出乎意料还不错，竟然能在全年龄向的剧情里把老郑作品那种微荒诞和带刺现实矛盾感呈现出来一些，整体没有怎么用力过猛，less is more。现在追了十几年选秀再看这段作品的电影化才发现，罐头小人里面武力担当智力担当外语担当才艺担当都很齐全，完全适合打包出道……（所以才有红沙发乐队的吧，不过没有拍这段，也好，我觉得红沙发乐队根本很难还原，还不如就不碰，希望不是flag）小演员演得都不差，皮皮鲁相对最好，特别松弛，没有演着演着让人觉得“好认真”但是入不了戏的感觉，而且自带喜感。电影还有一个优点是煽情不会过长，会用笑点打断，作为一个煽情尴尬症患者我表示观影比较舒适。最后，老郑特别登场那段真的很像武侠小说里面的世外高人梗……是您自己要求的吧！Ps.上尉真的是理想型
剧中有个观点很有趣，就是你想做一个灰色的好警察，还是做一个怯懦的规矩者？好和坏如何判断？随心？还是随法？
前半部分太平了，节奏感和氛围感不强，导致虽然演员演技都不错却始终难以吸引人。
可以预见的剧情，不太好记的人物名，但灰色地带的警察那种被诱惑和正义左右，被黑白两边误解猜忌，演得很好，这感觉就像ICAC查阿sir一样，有时只有加入坏人才能惩治更极恶之人吧。韩国人和HK还是挺感拍这种黑幕题材的，勇气可嘉。
小崔戴眼镜的造型好看！就是权律的戏份比我想象中少哎
其实还是不错的片子，最后高潮部分有点不过瘾呢
拍得还算不错吧？电影里面一些违和感正好讽刺了应试教育对儿童的毒害，当然受限于文化环境，结尾只能欢天喜地了。其实可以做得更黑暗点。片中很多地方还是蛮好笑的。
自打俺看了《信号》，赵震雄这个壮志难酬的警察大哥形象就在脑中挥之不去了。
童话电影，但是适合大朋友小朋友一起看，不愧是郑渊洁...故事好看，有笑有泪，不突兀不说教；小朋友演技自然不出戏！！好看喜欢！
没有什么延续的感觉，生拉硬拽。
这个故事能拍成这样也算可以了，但我就很纳闷鲁西西的书桌上为何会有梁羽生的小说和宜家台灯？
很好看，干净纯真，没有一处尴尬、一处硬伤，我和女儿都看哭了。最后郑渊洁出现在片尾彩蛋，那感觉就像当年第一次在大银幕上上看到大黄蜂。希望有更多这样认真为孩子讲的故事、拍的电影。唯一的问题是校服设计，和美术、道具不配套，让人有点出戏。
剧情很拉，但是赵震雄很帅啊！小崔还要继续加油努力演技啊
考不过90就开除？我翻墙上网，打架斗殴，抽烟喝酒烫头，也就一个大过，最后毕业还给我消了。为了抗议应试教育，硬编一个尬得抠出三室一厅的故事，我是欣赏不了，小时候就看过一本皮皮鲁，我也不知道原著什么样。
不至于砸了招牌，上尉拿一根针当剑还真是还原啊。不好都有不好的道理，但如果让一个十岁的孩子来看的话，这个电影应该是好看的。——2022.6.4
我的小外甥说很好，我只能说好，私底下再说一句马马虎虎
鲁西西发型有点成熟啊。特效方面还需要加油！
