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.
一般，剧本的丰富程度撑不起主创人员的野心和想法。
要是最后外卖员的戏份可以处理好就可谓升华了，但最后的最后还是邪不压正的一套，未免有些俗套了
本来就值两星，验货那段戏扎心了，打拐三观正在加一颗星。
彪叔像一根定海神针，牢牢的稳着整体节奏，这种角色感觉都不需要使劲就比张颂文的“刻意”来的更有功力了，从演技上窦骁绝对要感谢老爷子带得好，所有演员在这种黑色幽默的彪叔营造的调性下，都特别合适，没什么太大的问题
整的神神叨叨的，不就是一个非线性的叙事，看了一半弃了
一个密闭空间里，多线回溯的叙事，把各个不相关方联系在一起还蛮有趣的，但是感觉最后缺了点惊喜，不够反转的亚子，后来都有点困了。 ps：还是范伟问话最好看
这是什么冰箱？这又是什么摄像头？空间感本来是最大看点却完完全全没有…
“丐帮”儿童那段给整笑了。什么鬼！
学到了一些悬疑、惊悚的视听设计，但这故事吧，真没必要硬玩这些峰回路转的东西，内容撑不起技巧，于是乎就变成了卖弄奇技淫巧的大盆菜。
比较好的国产悬疑片，跟之前好的悬疑片比差一些，跟同期其他电影相比还算可以。剧情再丰富一些就好了，窦骁的杀人犯身份暴露有点早，晚点出现新闻就好了。
黑色幽默的剧情，罗生门式的剧本杀，线索与夹带在情节中的铺垫，将荒诞的故事与真相得以完美结合。影片以环环相扣的气氛为核心，以好人与坏人的变换为起始点，将沉浸式的剧本杀升华主题，或许这正是真相浮出水面的意义。
孩子们的合唱那一幕有点震撼。摄影视角太单一了，导致不同人的角度看故事的时候重复画面很多，层层反转的快感少了好多。感觉故事情节还是有点单薄撑不起来一整部电影，不过窦骁最后黑化的时候也是蛮带感的。
电影氛围好，观影氛围好，映后互动氛围好，导演意外很可爱诶。是部优秀的国产电影，上过北影节必然不会失望。对于这种一个小房间里拍完一部戏，还要有章有法张弛有度，很高难度。电影完成度很高，镜头语言也带感，局中局的剧本也很棒，演员棒。另外，希望珠珠和蔡鹭以后能接更大的角色。
设定有趣，一层层打开包袱一点点抽丝剥茧还原真相的过程也蛮精彩，尤其是表面上和实际上的反转耐人寻味，小偷和女骗子也有坚守，搞笑二人组和怂包其实是利益熏心的恶人。不足之处是期待更搞笑一点，而且结局过于伟光正了。
刚开始让观众不知所云，逐渐开始加入新角色，剧情层层反转，持续升温，最终起到爆炸的效果
真相其实不复杂，换个叙事手法，简单的故事或许就变成了有趣的故事

儿童拐卖这种情节是能纯用来给主创们炫技的？
其实布景和故事是很好的，整个结构、情节推进、人物一个个进入，就是没当作电影拍好。电影，有电影的叙事方式，这部电影的差距，还是在导演的功底。
小成本好片，各种反转，演技不差，人贩子太可恶了，社会上各种阴暗故事点到为止。
