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.
3.5 虽然悬疑有点幼稚，但是整个片子立意还好，致敬很多，有个做电影的样子。
先看1950他们正年轻，再看长津湖，一边是听觉上听老兵们谈抗美援朝，一边是视觉上重现他们的过往，不得不说，都是非常非常值得观看的电影。
铭记历史。无论是场景还是演技都没得说，近年来最好最真实的战争片。展示的不光是英雄主义，战士们也是会怕的。很真实。
我们的战士们在条件如此艰苦的情况下仍然浴血奋战，那些不是数字，都是人命，是我们有今天幸福生活所牺牲的人们啊！我们这么能不知道啊！怎么能忘记啊！！！
导演表演和剪辑的塑料感之强让我怀疑自己看的是一部院线片么……只是剧本有一些影射的巧思，越南加分吧，但也就到这了。剧本加一星鼓励。看完为中国电影的内容现状感到心酸。
逗乐的情节都有点尬，煽情其实并不多余，一部抗美援朝精神献礼片如果不煽情还看什么？
好拖沓，在看得昏昏欲睡的时候就来一阵枪林弹雨，跟朋友吐槽看完我就得聋了晚上做梦估计都是枪声😓时长太长坐到最后腰酸背痛还头疼到泪点就哭不出来了已经
堪称史诗级战争大片，气势恢宏，把英雄人物舍身取义，造福子孙的奉献精神完美的展现出来。作为英雄们的子孙感到无比的骄傲自豪
刚开始的场面我以为是《十二公民》，看下去才发现不是，至于短评中经常提到的“剧本杀”问题，这个我很难去体会，因为我本身是没有玩过剧本杀的。
是我魔怔了，怎么感觉在里面听到了几个武林外传样子的梗。
浮夸的台词被油腻的演法端上了天。
一群优秀的演员，一部精彩的影片！
战争场面震撼我妈，叹为观止，看完后好想哭，伍千里拿出那个记录牺牲的战士们的小本本的时候我真的哭到泪崩
三老其实是夜莺杀死的。杀手为了保护夜莺，承担了这一切。然后编造故事，让主角团相信。
只感受到了林超贤拉满的肾上腺素，但确定要在电影院里坐3个小时吗？
有这么一群人，他们不是一寸也没挪动过，却是生生克制住了摇晃，守住了自己内心的“阵地”。
总的来说就是感觉电影没有交代清楚长津湖的战略意义，就是一味的打打打，战略目的也只是提一嘴。
其实陈凯歌拍的电影只有两星，三个小时的电影拍的支离破碎。另外两星是中国人民志愿军加成。最可爱的人！
逻辑上很多不通顺的地方，表演上也有诸多用力过度，多加一星表示鼓励吧
7.6合理。可以看。缺点也有的。作为第一部作品很有诚意了。
