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.
岩洞里大家开始报番号宣誓时，深深地被这种为信仰赴死的信念感打动了。
我以前还真没看过明治维新这段的任何严肃作品。这部真的很好看啊，杀阵漂亮，剧情紧凑又不会让我看不懂，几个重要角色演得很出色。惊讶于评论区很多骂声。
😤累了…这个剧情 这个节奏 我全程看英文配音给我整笑了 好想离开这个国家

争分夺秒的殊死之战，奉献生命的热血壮举，都呈现的静默而隐忍，越克制反而越有张力。
所以诗电影为什么要拍老哥48小时极限炸碉堡的故事
看电影都快睡着了，没有战争的大场面，画面黑白的，剧情无聊。
很喜欢很喜欢很喜欢，可以感受到主创团队的用心和真诚！
不是很能理解日本这段历史里面所有人的思维方式…
乱世中乱剑飞舞～一群武士看似在卫道守义忠君，实则是于历史前进的浪潮中做了破碎的粉沫……土方阿岁战到最后独骑赴死，挥着铁器以肉身迎接枪弹，在怅然的音乐中丧命剧终，岁月翻开明治维新的篇章。
摄影讲究，音效丰富，打鱼小妹的吴侬软语好听，在杜比厅里看很沉浸。
整体不错
光影太暗，放眼完全听不懂，情节和人物交代也不是很清楚，不过空镜还是有一些艺术气息
好爱这部
那个时代的红军战士，不是身披战甲无所不能的大英雄，而是一个个会冲动会沮丧的普通年轻人，即便在绝境中，也保住自己崇高的信仰，就是这些犹如山洞中的微亮，黑暗里的点光，黑白色调中一抹色彩。
透过战争来讲生与死的抉择，最终大家选择为信仰而死，这大概就是人性的力量吧。
题材新颖，角色很吸引人，适合一个人的时候看，值得观看！
恍惚的瞬间用超现实影像，水下幻觉，血雨
没有刻意的打造强戏剧冲突，非常写实，一瞬间就能把人拉回那个年代。
这是一部一个人的使命，却完成的十分的艰难，很出乎意料导演用另一种方式来呈现，与平时欣赏别的战争片有所不同，影片里没有那么多的喊口号似的台词，也没有花里胡哨的情感戏。
