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.
命运都是幻像，一切早已发生。
决战险胜。
同僚出卖，发配边疆；
格局小了，应该是预算不够，有几场动作戏还行
导演是徐浩峰迷吗 情节问题不少，一些表演也差点，胜在氛围
场景加分，人物动作都加分，编剧太弱了。交待的太细，情感拉的太长，看着看着就想快进，江湖儿女不都是为活而卖命，导演没拍出来。这个女主演的大内密探很好看，比一般的垃圾电影好很多，看的到导演用心了。但是实力差点，花点子太少
感觉除了剧情与人物塑造，各个方面都挺好的，镜头感、武打场面、背景乐等等都有点意思，有模样了，可惜了。一开场以为会有《双旗镇刀客》的样子的。
还原了老武侠片的味道，西北黄沙破屋子，刀客官府没退路，剧情主题价值观要是有些新说法会更惊艳，配乐也是简单没有太烘托氛围，但作为网大已经质感很不错了，没有凑大众喜欢的低级元素，也没有加太风格化的叼拐调色，取景不错摄影不错，调性统一结构完整，打斗戏除了群演有点等死嫌疑就起码实打实打了，男一动作戏很帅有点早期宋洋的气质。这几年凑流量瞎堆特效伪装侠情的作品看腻了，喜欢这种实景实打的片子，整体还是值得看看，很开心网大开始走出更多路子，再加油一下都可以媲美更高投资的院线片了。
网大，要啥自行车，武侠气的塑造比较出色。徐浩峰最伟大的功绩是不是为中国武侠片发掘了宋洋，现在的武侠片里男主角都照着他来找了吗？但是还是他本人最有味道
卧槽，男主好帅，武侠动作也好看，一气呵成看完比较爽
感觉像是集《东邪西毒》《绣春刀》《倭寇的踪迹》等影片于一身的电影。动作戏整体感觉还不错。文戏也很好，特别是男女主。感觉反派有点弱，且模仿《绣春刀》里的润哥痕迹太明显了。个人感觉7分吧！剧本继续打磨一定可以更好。
给个五星
網路評分越來越不可信⋯⋯ 又浪費一個movie Night
冷兵器时代的疯子们，刀客们的墓志铭。演员虽然都没名气，倒是形象都很合适。整部电影弥漫着强烈的逝去感。
剧本难道不能好好构思再创作吗？后半段剧情完全脱节，我搞不懂为什么陆谦提前领盒饭？难道他不是真正的BOSS？打斗场面和布景还不错，演员也行
虽然是烂片，但是很有娱乐性，这就是电视电影啊。为什么总有人混淆小屏幕和大银幕的评价标准？
江湖刀客的味道是有了，打斗不错，大电影的小成本能做出这种调调很不错了，几个演员也是到位的。可惜这年头硬派江湖式微，播放量是真不行。一声叹息
剧情很一般，就是模版套的一样。打斗还算可以，中规中矩吧。美术算是最好的了吧。至于选角，不知道是有意还是无意，那个千人斩的演员说话，应该看过好几遍绣春刀里的周一围吧……而男主则长得像翻版的宋洋
虽然经费有限，剧本也没有精雕细琢，但是做到了认真
作为网大可以打四星，台词有内味，但是剧情就很一般，讲的故事太少了就会感觉节奏很慢
