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.
至少我被反转震撼到了。政治游戏不一定非要像好莱坞里的漂亮国那样特工满天飞，满世界007。其实最恐怖的就是享受特权的那帮人玩弄底层人民。唐山、毒教材、舆论审核……
看完电影久久不能平复，不是说电影带给了我什么样的冲击，而是在想它在我这儿是不是一部好电影。
影片中涉及到的这些主体和荒诞事件，或多或少的发生在如今这个世界的每个角落，变革还是革命？这是这部影片带给我们的思考，也是每一个国家和每个公民都应该思考的命题。

这故事架构能力甩我们太多了
8.5 2022上半年看过的最好看的电影，没有之一。
以为又是一个普通的为强奸受害者申冤的故事，没想到还能有这么多反转，律师在法庭上的一次次发问简直振聋发聩，直接将故事升华了。缺点就是警长态度变化太快，那个议员脑子进水了才会去伤害他儿子，直接让他叛变。
我看不下去了 政治的东西 我还是理解不了 可能还要看看评论再决定要不要认真看下去
那些拿拍摄手法、剧情bug说事，讽刺别人因为题材打五星的人，自己不也因为题材给战狼，长津湖打了五星吗？每个人都有自己的评分标准，没有谁比谁高级，用不着装高级讽刺别人。
千万不要在律师法庭陈词的时候退出，非常值得五星
反转出乎意料却也合情合理。种姓、女性权益、放纵的公权力、操纵媒体……说教味有点重，但问题一直不解决只好一直说下去，至少还能说，但似乎只能说。
大尺度爽片，令人那啥的是，印度也是什么题材都能拍啊……
印度又一部瑕不掩瑜的牛逼电影，一位女教师的死亡，牵扯出一系列对于女性、教育、媒体、司法和政治的深刻探讨，台词写的可真好…印度电影越来越敢拍而且越来越会拍，羡慕完韩国已经开始羡慕印度了，人家在话题和尺度上，就已经让我们望尘莫及了…
韩国电影和印度电影有反思，有揭露，我们当然用不到，我们有战狼就够了。
神逆转！印度片实在是太敢说啦！不过也有小缺憾 比如音乐mv安插的有点尴尬 有些台词表达的范围太宽泛影响主题 有点飘忽 另外就是 真的太长啦 直到4分之3才绕回了“宿敌”这个概念 前面那2小时合着是超长铺垫啊
敢拍能拍就是好电影了？自问自答、频频反转，就是好编剧了？原来这就是流量密码啊
2小时28居然又来了个反转！我说那个善良的老警察怎么会有那么多证据，原来是男主！男主真是经历了从英雄到人渣再洗白的过程。
音乐加的天花乱坠 硬是凑出了一种史诗感 和律师在法庭上引证的那么多案例一样 想表达的太多了 后面律师的线太牵强了
令人瞠目。
印度电影就是每每让我的第一感叹都是怎么这么长！
