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.
印度电影质感还是不错！其实一开始就猜到了，女主只是借孩子让妇女qj案受到关注。电影结局很美好，现实真的改变了吗？
翻拍09年的英剧，桑德拉·布洛克将角色演绎得极佳，几乎全片都围绕着她，她的情绪、痛苦和感受非常敏感。出狱后根本找不到自己在社会上的位置。
真的太赞了，意外的惊喜。这部电影能冲奥斯卡么？看了后心脏都疼了。
其实之前听过一位著名的法律学家说过，不给强奸犯判死刑是因为，如果判刑过重，可能会导致强奸犯破罐破摔，在犯罪过程中杀了受害者。
忽略特种警察没有强攻这一点bug，其他都很好
强奸大国拍摄的批判强奸的电影，的确很有现实意义，作为女性我希望印度能改变女性国民的现状，而且我也希望全世界的女性都能免于被强奸的危险，希望所有强奸犯都能获得死刑，但单纯作为一部电影从观众的角度来看，不得不说前面大部分都太冗长了。
前面一直看得很难受，反转也挺难受，可至少还有点希望。桑德拉布洛克啊也老了。摸鱼看完。
我们就这样不自知地步入一个有罪恶，却无罪感意识，有悲剧，却没有悲剧意识的寒夜？无法使人更高贵，反而使人更加卑微。使人自私、猥琐、狭隘和猜忌。把人们的注意力吸引到细小的事情上面去，没有使人超越人自己本身，却使人称不上真正的人
以卵击石的勇气，美好的结局也只能出现在电影作品里。已经不会被影视作品的所谓“尺度”惊叹了，因为现实生活还是一样烂。
我希望这样的呐喊能传遍世界。
这部片子可能给了一些人启迪，这样子操作也许能得到足够的关注啊！
整部电影如此真实的设定，不得不让吃瓜群众深思中心思想到底是个啥？doge
虽然警察降智，但是最后一切还挺合理。
故事并不复杂，但是感情很细腻。桑德拉布洛克的演技绝对撑得起她影后的名头
但该电影绝大部分都放在博弈上
为什么设定是妹妹，不是女儿？在跟养父母对峙时，女主说，是我把她养大的？？？？？？？？？？？5岁？？？？？养大？？？？
剧本正常，表演正常，无特别之处——无特别之处的意思就是，无功无过，情理之中，没有超出期待。//桑德拉的表演我也觉得没有可圈之处，哀伤，沉稳≠死板的面无表情。面无表情是可以有层次的，可参见马修·麦康纳在《真探第一季》《达拉斯买家俱乐部》中的表演，或参见凯特·温丝莱特在《朗读者》《东城梦魇》中的表演。所以，在我看来，死板的面无表情肯定不属于高段位的表演。
也许不够优秀，却是专属印度的电影。
虽然但是 就真的完全想到了《三年A班》啊 艺术创作真的太好用别人的创意了 😭
印度类型片，女性议题牛逼，希望有人效仿并祝成功！
