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.
感人是很感人啦，但总体还是俗套的励志电影，滤镜太厚，现代制作感太强了，缺乏上世纪街头三教九流粗粝感
真真切切全凭演技拉住观众的注意力，但凡换个水平次一点的演员，这种假装严谨实则一意孤行的剧本早被各路大侠抓着往死里喷了。
一人血书求Rylance和SRB一起去演部戏【。
我不是tailor，我是cutter，的确是这回事，最后是个throat cutter。老爷子演得真不错。#20220605
英国最好的男演员，没有之一
偏古典风格的推理悬疑，当然还有犯罪。
上一次看到剧本这么硬、舞台这么小的电影，是《这个男人来自地球》。
ps：瑞奇好帥！
除了一些詭異段落剪接，其他都很好，以為再講北野武，其實再講北野武的師父，比想像中好看很多，很多細節。
3.5/5 密闭空间话剧电影，叙事和多重反转完全依靠台词，有点太话剧而削弱了悬疑的紧张感。如果剧本能再打磨，精简一下台词的话会更符合电影的节奏。MR的演技撑起了整部片。
本来气质挺好的，反转多了就俗了，做西装就做西装，加那么多设计还叫西装吗
当你仰望着台上光鲜亮丽的艺人时，不要忘了还有无数本属于舞台但无法站在台上的人。说不定，没有后者，前者永远无法登台。
现实版火花 北野武还是幸运的 靠着自己的才华发光发热 师徒情相当感人了 最后葬礼上只属于两人的短剧 明明是泪点怎么觉得那么好笑
前半小时有些拖沓，后面渐入佳境，有一些巧妙的小设计，但话剧感有点重，场景的切换没有那么丝滑。
嗯 觉得男主的表演有些让人出戏 虽然我也知道北野武因受伤导致面瘫 还会间歇性眨眼 这是对人物的还原 但和女生第一次在舞台遇见的那场戏（那时候北野武还没受伤）表演实在有些奇怪…
从头到尾都很心酸、也很真实、我印象最深的台词是「你以为他们是谁的徒弟」从这里开始影片对我来说才开始进入好看、老师的死让我的情绪上来了、到了男主回忆与师傅的点滴的那段、就开始绷不住了、泪目、加上电影主题曲、主题曲和这个故事绝配了
和看梅艳芳的感觉一样，再多演绎都比不上本人一帧。比不上他拿破锣嗓子唱一句。啊，老头儿要过生日了。
短小精悍的室内电影，感觉拍成话剧会非常精彩，剧本不错，层层反转，虽有bug，瑕不掩瑜。
说话是门艺术。只有一个房间布景戏，话剧式的感受，主角魅力值max。不是裁缝，是剪裁师，凭一把剪刀走南闯北，参加过一战的男人，怎么可能简单。
每个人心里都有些秘密。
