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.
是不会主动去看的类型，不过还真是不错啊，印度片也比中国片自由。很多社会现实，很多反转，感觉这要是拍成8集左右的故事片，把没讲完的故事和很多支线人物丰富一下会更好，多个主题都能讲到，而不是现在有点太多了。
总有人追求公平正义。
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……
立意太高了！政治比什么都黑暗。因为冗长扣一星
除了节奏拖沓，音乐太多，其他的都不错。很敢拍，中国影业现在连印度都赶不上。
挺有意思的，讲了很多印度🇮🇳社会问题，反转也蛮精彩的。近来看的最有意思的电影。
实在精彩!
剧情剧情 这就是我想要的剧情，看的我热血沸腾。
不必崇拜阿三的电影，若是没有层层的迷雾笼罩，这片天空抬头望也有繁星，只是雾霭茵茵，何以见星！
50分钟里塞了俩个TV版长度的故事。在这俩个故事里，夏目都变成有能力保护其他人的人了。
导演水平太差没想法，不过脑子的直白镜头比比皆是。部分戏声音设计奇怪，任务说话像配音，画面平静配乐狂起带情绪，人物都还不认识音乐在响能有个毛的共鸣啊！？还是一股印度神剧风范。
歧视女性、操弄舆论，印度社会的问题很多，但至少法律还是管用的。
印度文艺工作者的尺度和表达程度我们已经望尘莫及了。但这部电影本身我可真喜欢不起来。
好看 虽然最后讲述律师生平的一段剪辑有点敷衍 但瑕不掩瑜
高分不是来自于电影本身，而是来自于现实角色的带入。
太精彩了，今年四大电影节这部电影没获奖，我TM绝对不认可。
1、政治的肮脏，任何事件都是利用
给国人带来巨大震撼！这就是操控舆论的下场！当法治变成人治，当舆论左右司法，这时，你以为你看到的就是正义吗？PS：看到结尾感觉学生真是最好煽动的群体，青春热血又自以为是，政客们应该挺喜欢的～
政客利用人民的情绪，人民太容易被社交媒体影响
太精妙了，片中每一个人物都是一枚随波逐流的纸片棋子，不停地被分解和建构..仔细看就会发现片子里象征世俗正义的那帮人，说到底不过在履行自己的道德和权益——因为本该如此；反叛道德秩序那帮人也在行使自己的价值和权利——因为全世界的人都知道事实上就是如此。眼看着周围的邻居们思索思索再思索—创造，我们也惊呼要增强民族自信，柔和一些——喏，折中的温暖现实主义。而那些只能隔海相望的这帮电影朋友，脸上带着兴奋的潮红，惴惴不安地沉入剧情，朝着我们想都不敢想的刀刀见骨的现实主义失控驶去..
