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.
一部赏心悦目的武侠爽片，从开头的雨夜追凶到最后的雪中燃酒，好一个快意恩仇，替天行道。正如引用李白的“十步杀一人，千里不留行”那样，我们看到了一部具有传统武侠精神的电影，看似玩世不恭的瞎子，却是有血有肉的任侠之士。电影打斗场面精彩纷呈，令人目不暇给。当然，也有不少重口味的拷问画面。如果这个世界需要一个瞎子来主持公道，那一定不是一个光明的世界。它反应出电影的时代背景，一个盛极而衰的大唐现状。这也让曾经是将军后来沦为捉刀人的盲侠，显得更加慷慨悲壮。
四星，多一星鼓励
拍得挺质朴 感情挺纯真的 不过现实社会最后的结局大概率不可能
3.5，虽然74分钟，但是完成度很高，感觉很好，尤其划剑出火那一场打斗很帅，整体的武打场面都很好看，近年来少有的干净利落的武侠电影。
美术、摄影、导演，简直不要太牛了！好写实好真切的江湖！这才是真正的武侠！没有那么多玄幻，没有那么多阴谋，就是凛冽的江湖。
谢苗总算起来了，将近四十岁，就如张晋，内外气质都更沉淀稳重，可以塑造角色了，功夫底子其实是锦上添花。
三星半，谢苗人设不错，但部分日式服化道太恶心了。
拍的真好～最喜欢最后妈妈在飞机上陷入沉思的镜头！在那一刻我仿佛听见她内心的千言万语，些许激动，又些许伤感无奈。忙活了这一辈子，竟没有坐过一次飞机，“是不是觉得你妈啥也不晓？”太真实了，太触痛了。
捉刀人？没有赏金猎人的意思吧，这词儿用的怪怪的。结尾还自己点评事了拂衣去有点傻。拍的挺认真的
很有意思的一部电影，能看到生活的真实。
别的不说，这个外省离异媳妇让本不想结婚的我某些瞬间都有了想结婚的欲望。 地方宗族对女性的压迫与不公，以及陈旧守旧观念与现代都市的碰撞。
不喜欢，好看度也一般。拍摄来说，剧情进展突兀。情节来说，男主及他妈发在豆瓣小组会是清一色的劝退劝分。理解各个地区都不爱找外地人的习俗，但歧视并丑化胖人，处处标榜封建是闹哪样？
制作还行，但是这个故事真是简单到简陋，如何拿到投资？
妈呀，这也太好看了吧，我以为是一部粗制滥造的小电影，没想到电影虽小，但是非常用功啊，画面，故事，节奏，配乐都有一股传统的中国武侠剧的美，我已经好多年不看武侠电影了，真不错，满分满分。
演技都在线，场景舒服，布景真实，很有人情味，又哭又好笑，推荐观看
作为一部网大，我愿意给四星。
爷破防了。
张彻内核的复仇武侠片，有座头市的影子，故事简单，一路杀杀杀，可以说是网大制作天花板了。
无需宏大叙事，节奏把握得不错的武侠，义薄云天的侠义之心
其他都没啥说的，就是剧情吧，有点老套，有点太紧凑有点挤了，而且不够好看不够吸引人，剧本可以再好好磨一下。感觉这导演拍成剧肯定好看，绝对是另一个路阳，不过剧本确实不太给力。好希望琴娘也是个隐藏高手。
