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.
gyt说的对 焦虑的时候在吃饭的时候看一部无脑搞笑电影是一件很快乐的事情！（前半段真是太搞笑了！！！！烦死了！！！后面有点la
挺好看的 值得三星。虽然故事很简单 但是很温情啊
看完才发现，最精彩的全在剧透的预告里了。说好的唱一宿呢……
表演参次不齐，部分演员剧院味道太重（尤其屋内对峙那里），配音有挽救，可还是些微突兀，为演员和导演捏把汗的功夫，神儿就跳出去了。
其实挺完整的 佳佳是想认真去做点东西 谈不上多好 你不能太高要求它 但是不差。要是网大里随便的小喜剧都是这个标准 那我们拍出来能看的东西会多很多。
真应该坚持自己的想法不感兴趣就不应该来看 虽然是别人送的票白看但还是觉得很糟糕
出乎意料的还不错，细节上再打磨打磨，应该是个小成本佳作！
崔志佳自导自演，角色表现还这么好，很难得。
社会上还是需要更多的包容性
还不错，表演朴实，剧本扎实。
合着主题就是，得接纳犯错误的人员，但是不保证不犯错误呗
前半段笑点牵强，刀爷的反转虽然想到了，但是很炸，出狱人员安置主题还是不错的，整体不如烧烤，海燕镜头惊艳
典型的国产院线喜剧风，上一次看院线还是《扬名立万》，下一次院线更是遥遥无期。
虽然成本小；但从简单的喜剧角度看是合格的；喜剧的核心是悲剧，把小人物、遗忘的前科人员、特殊的丧葬业摆在前台让人耳目一新、印象深刻。我也想花5w让二手玫瑰给我唱一宿死亡摇滚
整体来说挺扯淡的，东北风格，有笑点有泪点最后反转设计的也挺好，作为网大绝对够用了
龙姨一颗星，致敬《当年情》一颗星，致敬《古惑仔》一颗星，所有的包袱和铺垫一颗星。
冲着二手玫瑰去的，前半段很搞笑，后半段有点深沉，深沉中还是带点搞笑
在国产电影中很别具一格的一种风格，美术和摄影加分。是一种符合中国式战争电影的感觉，深山limbo让人感觉随时都会被突来的冷枪和荆棘困住、摄影采用大量环绕式长镜头且在交战中摒弃了远全景转而跟随角色的近景、整体的美术风格就是既惨烈像水墨画一般优雅美丽、人物心境梦魇外化做的也很好。在剧作上也没有出现个人英雄主义，这是中国式抗战的特色，没有哪个人物的形象过于立体且有主角光环，但就是轻微的细节设计就能让士兵由自己的形象和特质（沈队临死前说的接到了军令）这不是什么长津湖的人物塑造能比的…最牛的地方是整个这种人间炼狱的氛围感，那种低视角下的跟随镜头和声音惊悚感拉满，开头在水中扒尸体和结尾的血雨（有点今村昌平的黑雨的感觉、另外动物意向也很今村）应该是战争和cult惊悚结合的最完美的一次，里程碑中式战争片
观看的过程不断想起《潜行者》《自己去看》《上升》等一系列苏联战争电影，形式又带了更多东方美学的意味，不同于之前所谓东方日式的风格，能看见更多中国风味，更诗意、壮阔和凌厉，是一部在美学上颇有成就的电影。
宋晓峰老师演技真好，几乎感觉不到表演的痕迹
