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.
结尾是怎么想的，炸药放身上还挨了几枪，不是非得牺牲才是英雄啊，细节设计很失败。
优点：范伟老师绝对值得夸，张涵予，魏晨这些人都正常发挥，杨浩宇饰演的教导员不是边缘人物，特效画面不错。
不差啊，豆瓣怎么才5.7，这不比漫威一半的流水线电影好多了吗？
正派人物多不知何人，反派瞎忙碌不知做甚；
有时长、有大咖，该有的元素都有，却在两个小时的时间里以这个剧情呈现给观众，一定是哪里出现了大问题，直接失控了，真不该只是这样。（本来两星，都是我喜欢的演员加一星）
另一个镜头是范伟把手榴弹丢到奸细的人力车爆炸后，还笑容可掬地离开。究竟是对于日本人（范伟是组织安排在日军方面的特派员）搞战争那套看习惯了，还是在暴露之前决定不做表面的惊慌小市民伪态，从容赴前方？
范伟演技没问题，张涵予要跳出自己演什么都是张涵予的怪圈了。故事性不强，过于拖沓。勉强及格分。
剧情甚至弱到了前半个小时都几乎没有信息量的地步了……
张涵予你就算披风加身cos美队超人，我也认得出来你是杨子荣。范伟很好，金马影帝以后真的是资源飞起，无处不在。周也的表演跟1921一模一样吧，就两句台词还念得那么差。周政杰比风平浪静次一些，但越长越丑也很难出头了。
范伟的演技真是出神入化！王调度人物塑造的惟妙惟肖！让人信服！日本鬼子狡猾狡猾滴。向铁道游击队的英雄们致敬！
真实事件改编，不忍心给低分，但影片质量太一般了，折中三星。
十个多余的政治正确配角删六个也不为过；
正派盒饭前各种巧合，反派吃盒饭还得回碗。
电影已经死了，游戏也过时了，我们需要更多 cat videos。
ps：我妈看我给了两颗星 让我改成一个星 说还没有老的铁道游击队好看
官方吐槽，最为致命，一部讨论自由意志的电影，被多数人记住的只有Bullet Time。更讽刺的是，创作者也被挟入loop之中，沦为重复自己炮制续集的工具。
除了质感基本没啥优点，看完跟没看差不多，就记得范伟老师扔炸弹那段了。剩下的不管正派反派都在装逼，剧本很多地方都需要打磨。紧张氛围和代入感几乎为0，还是当年刘威老师和王志文老师那版更经典。一星半。
不知道是因为博纳还是张涵予还是受到管虎的影响，这种同类的抗日片总是把日本人的形式制造得很重，深绿色崭新沉重的军服、长披风、士兵礼仪、死刑、士兵素质，可是有时又爱把两方军队的对立降到两个正反主角的仇恨上，就像一部徐浩峰拍的抗日题材的西部片。最后用交响乐响起经典的《弹起我心爱的土琵琶》，看了这么久就是等这首歌。
几年前流量为王，于是成龙带着自己犯了事的儿子拍了部《铁道飞虎》，烂的不行。
正派抖精神大推运镜，反派掐指算推理达人；
