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.
设定上很不错，背景一般，变成银翼杀手那种时代会更好，题材很喜欢能给4星
意外地好看，是跟着主角一起揭开谜底的类型。不过有点担心尹启相被锁住戏路了。
Jamie真的好美！！只是同志音乐剧可能不是我的菜
一开始会有点迷糊，后来看进去了就觉得还挺有创意
创意还是有的，就是叙事有点乱，一开始看不懂在干嘛，剩下的时间都是在打打打…
创意不错，动作戏也够诚意，故事讲的还是差点意思，没有床戏差评
3.5，比隔壁家DEH实在是好太多。首先是加了些与时俱进的细节，避免看出来是几年前的本子；然后得益于本来原版就比DEH有更多的编舞，所以场景化更戏剧但合理；几个演员的表演也是比较电影化的，所以整体看下来还算比较顺畅。
最后三分之一时间，扯淡的真相揭晓出来。非常拉胯。
故事挺有吸引力的，前半小时还算抓得住，后面就明显降星了，最后来个英雄救美，浪费题材
舞台剧改编成电影在叙事上情节上节奏上都要调整，比较一般
一个及格线的电影，就是一点点的剧情新意和基础的演员配置/摄影/节奏。现在要求就这么低了，但一年能看到的同等水平电影，还是少的想哭
韩片已经将故事挖到了很深的地步，圆回来怕有难度了
创意挺新颖，灵魂也能互换吗？动作+枪战也算及格，韩国人的名字真是记不住，加上脸盲，男主好像孙悟空似的变来变去，受不了。
创意还是有的，就是叙事有点乱，一开始看不懂在干嘛，剩下的时间都是在打打打…
最烦这种开头就云里雾里背景也不交代下然后节奏死慢还一脸很牛b哄哄的nc片子，十分钟弃
设定挺有意思，但是剧情不难猜，结尾反派死于话多。
高阶版《内在美》，还是可以的。看新的《黑客帝国》前的一点调剂哈哈哈
结局男女主角深情诀别时我以为要按Fallen的路数来个就近出窍附身呢，在场的人里就差没附身女主了，然后女主可以一脑养双人，人格分裂快乐共生，记得黑镜里好像有这个创意。
一个有创意的设定。不错的叙事结构。凌厉的动作剪辑。还有我张谦蛋大哥！
特别适合在电影院观看的一部电影，动作和视觉效果非常好，情节紧张刺激。虽然剧情上有些bug，但并没有太大的影响。最后的枪战有点帅。
