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.
确实还行，就是笑点有点少，魏翔比大多数这类片的男主角都演得好
好笑的部分都是等比翻拍原片来的，自己加戏的小人物悲喜剧又臭又长，不是拼贴周星驰和三谷幸喜就能笑中带泪的啊！最搞笑的依然是初见黑帮老大那场，错位、反复，技巧纯熟而高明。模仿教父的交易火拼戏、杀哈维两场还可以，剩下加的群演如何戏痴、亲情戏都内心毫无波动，杀了老大后救马丽这段则如坐针毡了，想着怎么还没完啊！magic商会和moment商会的彩蛋有心了，但加再多迷影元素，对比起扬名立万，也是有匠气无灵气罢了。
一星给，给翻拍？让我去看《魔幻时刻》这么好玩的看电影？每个演员都很尬，毫无逻辑可言，每个人物都很苍白，喜剧不是硬挤出来的。。太低级，
难称之为一部电影，很多技巧用在零碎处，人物动机和情绪莫名其妙，很多桥段依然类似小品，你就放松来看可以，稍微认真就不经推敲。看完觉得就是一个展开但是失败版本的《喜剧之王》
我觉得可以，三星半，但是豆瓣没有半星，我又觉得这部比昨天看的水门桥好，所以给上了四星。我还挺喜欢这部里的致敬的。尤其是《雨中曲》和“麦卡，我今天就为亚瑟•摩根报仇!”。🤣
尬演片，笑点没多好，倒是看了导演不停的致敬，cue其它电影。你这是在秀自己的阅片量吗？
每个大哥身边都有一个想当大哥的手下，哈哈哈，感谢吉米献身做了全片唯一的反派
即使有原版《魔幻时刻》打底子，也改的极为本土化潮流和不逊色，每处笑点都是通过精心打磨的呈现给观众的礼物，比起原版的黑色幽默，爱电影就是恶搞他，最后亲吻他，而这就是一出小人物沉浮中的主角梦，用笑话包裹它，用爱融化它。尊重观众，尊重喜剧，尊重电影，才是戏剧打动人之处。所以这是，魏翔也是，梦想的蓝图要去创，戏剧的杀手不要停。
出乎意料地好看。魏翔是个喜剧天才，一人支撑起全剧。
架空生活的小品大电影，不知道原作咋样回头看看。电影人消费电影的电影。麻花该有个新旦角了。
以前春节大家在电视上看小品，现在在电影院看。
PS.假卡尔拿着🎸推门进来的那一刻我觉得好像王杰啊
处处透着外行的廉价。如果男主角真的是一个沉浸式的演员，是不会因为枪太重而把它从箱子里拿出来，说后期做特效这种话的，也不会忘了所有的戏都是one take，这个人设根本没立住。
全员演技浮夸，最好的居然是吉米演员周大勇。这么一个故事除了演员和导演的表演力和感染力以外，还需要很会的灯光师和道具师，像老谋子和贾樟柯那种，显然这也不是他们具备的，魏翔观众缘属实一般了，还是舞台剧更适合，不过我也不想打分太低，因为总体观感其实还可以，毕竟除了太好或者太烂，我本人对评分这件事还是挺主观的。
即兴表演：一个没有天赋的主角在苦中作乐……
春节带爸妈合家欢电影。其他几部对我来说都是雷，就选择了马丽。以为是个比较好笑的喜剧片，结果笑点比想象中的密集多了！不带脑子的笑一笑挺好看！
触达到我笑点的地方比较少但不影响全场观众普遍的爆笑，后半比前半好，跟原版相比多了重主演身份的重合，高于预期。
我要多一颗星给魏翔老师，大家都不容易。但我就想说，还是三谷幸喜最棒。
6，没想到春节档看下来，能够及格的竟然是开心麻花，毕竟原著底本是真的够好，怎么瞎拍都能保住下限
春晚憋住的笑都可以在这部电影里彻底忘我释放。但我还是在结尾魏翔手捧杀青花束，带着哭腔表达感谢时跟着大哭，“成功只比未成功多坚持了一次”。沉淀多年获得的男一号，有的人得到了但未必把握得住，魏翔把握住了。以后可以放心地以“含翔量”为观影依据了。
