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.
全片发生在裁缝店里，很有舞台剧的范儿。芝加哥黑帮和英国老裁缝都很有腔调，所以故事看得不出戏。
比期待的好很多，铃木保奈美依然是我心目中的女神。影片的理念也是我也是天堂电影院一直在坚持做的事情，不去讨好影迷讨好观众，而是你要去告诉观众什么才是真正好的有趣有意义的电影。
也有不太严谨的地方，但现在还愿意尝试这种风格，还能完成得这么好的片子，必须五星致敬。同类可看《夺魂索》《足迹》《死亡计中计》《暂无出口》《在糟糕的日子里》
严重依赖剧本和演员演技的话剧电影，只有一个场景，一点也不枯燥，节奏飞快，转折不断，非常厉害了。8/10
精致反转片，反转设计还行，不过如果从西装片来看，还是喜欢第一部《王牌特工》那种娱乐性十足的。
像套装一样精致又刻意hhh 总之没有一个裁缝是好惹的懂了吗！
只有一个场景都可以把故事拍得这么精彩，事实证明好表演和扎实的剧本才是电影的关键。
导演功底不足，找到了舞台转折冲突的张力感，但整体故事效果欠佳
看的时候很爽，尤其是藏尸那段
感觉又被豆瓣分数骗了。看这片子，让我不由得想起克里斯托弗诺兰，盗梦空间，致命魔术。都是我十分不喜欢的类型，故弄玄虚。用姜文的话说，就是卖大力丸的，抻练半天，啥东西没有，而且主角的三观都有严重的问题。原以为只有英国人才这么无聊，看了下导演居然是美国人。但喜欢诺兰的倒可以看看。真真不是我的菜。
看完也想去做一套了，经典确实永不过气。前面铺排剧情略微拖拉，整体节奏还是很好的，但是逻辑上总觉得，老裁缝的安全有些不可控。
如果最后的北野武是真正的北野武就好了 笑中带泪 是我心中的北野武！
中规中矩的传记电影，但依然令人感动。
拍得比较精致、巧妙的低成本犯罪片，主要考验编剧的技巧和主演的把控能力。故事在单一空间展开，基本是一种话剧形式，摄影虽然用心，但运镜单一，主要是中近景切换。男主的表演很稳，女主戏不多，但有味道，似曾相识。

不是被观众嘲笑，是逗观众笑。一日为师，终身为师。师徒的羁绊太好哭了。年轻时渴望走红，身边有那么多人，到头来功成名就，却变得孑然一身。人生呐。
单一空间悬疑片，结构非常工整，商业类型片的标本。改编舞台剧和翻拍都是很好的选题。
就在我以为是父女温情故事的时候，又翻了一下，可以加一颗星。
简单的场景，有限的空间，依靠大量对话来让剧情一波三折，显得非常的剧本杀。虽然收尾看上去仓促了些，按前半段来说还有不少可提升空间，但整体创意依然加分。
师匠真的好有魅力，起身于草根底层的奋斗生活当时哪怕辛苦庸碌，但回味起来还是果然最有味道的记忆
