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.
就一般得很一般，似乎没有什么新意。那个屋子声音那么小，难为范老爷子“一点声音也没有的”动作翻转了.
整体挺好的，可惜中间看睡了10分钟
范伟台词一出口我还是觉得他在讲小品哈哈哈哈，但是影帝就是影帝，那表情神态拿捏的死死的，能给电影加不少分。故事也是个好故事，窦骁后期转变的张力不够，所以结局拉胯了点。
开始略闷，这么热闹还能圆起来的国产电影现在的评分真有点离谱。春来老哥可以的，好角色摩多摩多。
2.0 / 几乎每一帧都看出了“我想与众不同我想技惊四座”的野心，就是真的很无趣。里面的黑色幽默也很无趣。一些青年导演真的不必“为了做点什么而做点什么”。
哈哈剧情紧凑，人物一环扣一环的登场还挺有意思。拍摄手法插叙也不会突兀能看明白
多重线性叙事节奏，整个电影像拼图一样，每出现一个新角色，都会补出新的证据与真相来解释和掩盖故事的发展。结局暖心，看似最恶的人偏偏是善良的人，而最卑微的人也成了英雄。
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。
故事想法和演技还是不错的，但细节漏洞较多不能细想。
蹩脚的的表演，拙劣的模仿，混乱的逻辑，作呕的结局，还可以更差吗？
非常流畅舒服的一次观影体验！多线重复性叙事，剧本杀的故事结构，很难想象是一部处女座；范伟的表演太出色了，张颂文虽然戏份不多，但他一站在那儿角色就立住了。摄影、剪辑、剧本、台词、灯光属于范文作品，真的可以拿出来给新导演们学习
完成度很高的一部电影。没抱任何期待的情况下，看得还挺入戏的。猜疑和反转环环相扣，剧本设定不错。
看不懂豆瓣评分，是一部被低估的片子。故事过于巧合所以有点不适，除此之外，演员、剧情、故事、反转，我都很喜欢。尤其给范老师、窦骁点赞！
3星半，7分，对大众影迷是个小惊喜
可以更细腻一些的，有些镜头说不清楚到底是有什么用意（比如拍从上往下看人员进场，抬头等，可以加以时钟或者灯光变化来佐证）；另外也是剧情等新线索，新线索在人物称述里。但好的点是人物接踵登场，安排的很巧妙。这个还是好～
挺不错的低成本悬疑片，故事情节一环套一环最终形成闭环，人物描写已经拍摄手法都还不错，唯独文戏方面太弱了导致有些地方有些突兀，有些地方出现bug，但值得一看
剧情很ok，细节上的铺垫也做到了，但是为啥莉莉要亲老阎？而且结尾小马的反转够突然，但不够合理。
看得出来是想学《低俗小说》玩儿一个非线性叙事，但是您这个时间线对不上啊，那个情儿死的时候范厨师应该是在屋子里的啊，也就是说他应该是见过梁超的。另外，想不到你个卖凉粉的搞起拐卖儿童的勾当来了……
三个演员还是不错的 现在这种玩结构的小成本悬疑片太多了 这个技巧一般 逻辑不错 人贩子那里破防了 都是王八蛋
在群里抢到优惠券 看的点映。张颂文太太太帅了!!!!!!!!!!!😻“谢谢你救了她”“是她救了我”果然好人有好报
