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.
这个设计可以➕1⭐。
缅怀陈木胜导演。我一边看一边有点伤感，这是我非常熟悉非常正的拳拳到肉非常狠的港片警匪片的味道，可惜现在很难看到了。谢霆锋帅炸天，演得非常好，演这么一个角色估计他演得超级过瘾，希望他今后多多出来演戏。
問題是，劇情好像和第一季有出入？算了，看SAO就不要執著在劇情上。
看了一半已经忍不住过来评价了，非常非常好，非常怀念13年一口气追完的时光，之后又看了不下十遍，这个剧场版补充了很多我日思夜想的场景，谢谢！
《特警新人类》成了“特警中年组”；吴浩康简直有一万种方式不狗带啧啧。武戏干净利落符合期望，不过文戏略显拖延。在还剩四十多分钟时，就让两人直接摊牌对峙有想法；但末了“为动作而动作”，也还是扯。张崇邦、邱刚敖抑或是任达华的客串，个人对“体制”的挑战、不甘与破立均是触及；虽只言片语，也显宝贵。陈木胜稳定发挥，多半星 #R.I.P.
进击篇就是第一季的dlc，后半段的战斗画面唤醒了以前中二年纪看sao的感觉。mito这个角色怎么说呢，算是个楔子吧引入铺垫桐人和亚丝娜的相遇，没什么感觉。我还想看更多的SAO😭
アスナ绝对女主角！其实和第一步sao是有区别的，不能硬比较，作为老粉看了还是很激动的，7.4分有点低啊！那我给五星，为了老婆アスナ。以后每年一部影院见！
又过了十七年，经历过那场动荡之后，我们在大荧幕上看到的港产警匪片彻彻底底颠覆了从前……
2021.08.08，SFC上影百联影城（八佰伴IMAX店），周倜。虽然是陈木胜遗作，但是不得不说非常差劲。坏人到底是为了钱还是为了出口气，到底是心狠手辣还是重情重义，感觉根本没想明白。谢霆锋对希斯莱杰进行了拙劣的模仿，还是没有掩饰住自内而外的土气和毫无灵气。
整体来说制作还是挺不错的，画风也很好，就是剧情有一点点老套，但还是很久的
明知道不对，但总觉得谢霆锋那个角色复仇得好
谢霆锋啊，多演戏少做菜行不，以前以为他最好的时候是特警新人类是古惑仔少年激斗是半支烟是警察故事，现在知道一位演员最好的永远是阅历，请珍惜啊！！！陈木胜导演遗作野心勃勃，崇邦和港傲的输死对决，所有道德保险都不加，依然让观众心有戚戚，酣畅淋漓，意味深长，是遗作，也是挽歌。
我喜欢谢霆锋饰演所有反派时，那种诗意的悲凉。
尤其是那种一惊一乍的咆哮，邪魅一笑
就是后面到第二层的情节和第一部有些不一样。如果记得没错，第一部桐人应该是在人群之外换的斗篷，同时和亚丝娜解除了组队（？）
简单来说就是一个出现了男人就一脚踹开闺蜜的故事。
虽说和《拆弹2》撞梗有些尴尬，但比起爆破大场面还是硬打硬的肉搏戏来的更爽。
法庭审判算是全片最好看的文戏
6.5/10，标准的陈木胜作品，也比较套路。兄弟殉职，刚正不阿的警官查案，一警一匪，追车→枪战→肉搏，每一步都按部就班，一板一眼。谢霆锋的反派塑造比较好，有不少小丑（《黑暗骑士》版）的影子，动作戏拳拳到肉，颇有《杀破狼》《导火线》的范儿。缺点就是整体略长，黑白灰三色的说教乏陈可新，一些角色比较工具人，蠢得可怜。但细细回想，忽然开始想念陈木胜…一路走好，感谢曾为我们带来的那么多精彩的作品。R.I.P.
动作设计真的非常优秀，几场追车戏也很精彩。剩下的吗，呵呵😄
