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.
出场人物挺多，但真正塑造起来的人物很少，除了老王跟老洪，其他人物都很扁平，故事内核也没有拍出来。但我还是要谢谢没拍成故意煽情的主旋律电影
范伟影帝，每一根睫毛，每一条鱼尾纹都是戏，感染力老强了。张涵予演这类题材的是不是多了点，都是一个样，没啥亮点，还有那个小护士，貌似可有可无
故事耳熟能详，除了开篇有点墨迹，最后老洪牺牲前身负重伤还能神勇歼敌，多少有点夸张外，故事还行吧。最喜欢老王，看他的桥段都特带劲儿。
人物扁平，没有任何转变，好就是好坏就是坏。声音细节被巨大的音乐掩盖，实则统一情绪的作用微弱。剧作圆满，小的情节也有头有尾。爱情线-次要情节开头不错，发展也不错，却没有结尾，也没有什么高潮。最后事情的解决出人意料，有点不合逻辑。老王人物铺垫不够，技术工中途进入能力超强显得格格不入不顺畅。总体还不错，作为观众，我被感动到了。
越来越有钱，越来越离谱，流水账
这导演就不会写故事，更不会讲故事。三星全给服化道摄美录和范伟。还有就是……什么样一个导演会不要脸到挂摄影指导和剪辑指导的credit……服了
范伟演的太好了，人物形象饱满，手雷炸汉奸的片段绝了，全片高潮！
两个小时真就是纯靠范伟的神级表演撑着
战争不值得歌颂，但英雄值得被致敬被纪念被缅怀被传颂！
多一星给范伟的演技。
佩服自己居然看完了，也够无聊。不知集编剧导演于一身的究竟何许人也，为啥会被华谊兄弟找来干活？
还是不要翻拍的好，不感动，连熟悉的歌谣也不动人。
影片的编导真心应该拉出来好好看看几十年前的《铁道游击队》，起码也能知道故事的起转承合，高潮迭起，而不是像现在一般，死气沉沉的赶脚，就算到了结尾，也没有高潮的燃点出现，既浪费了好的题材，也浪费了好演员的表演😒
范伟回归大银幕，参演了各种类型，只能说沉淀了但没突破，不过这个年龄的演员还是在自己戏路范围内给观众发光发彩才是正道。反观张涵予这几年也总结出了经验，演伟光正信手拈来，还有能吸收底层的共情，虽有审美疲劳，但依然是当下优秀的男演员
太无聊了，连煽情都没有，也就范伟的演技值一星……
有点抗日神片的感觉，但有些细节还是挺好的，范伟这部演挺好，就是不太懂叫爹是啥习惯。
虽然充斥着大量刻意煽情、为讨好观众而塑造的元素，但对观众心理其实就很吃这一套。
死后我来到天堂门口，看门的天使翻着我的生平，说：“让我看看，坏事，坏事，大坏事，说老实话你应该在地狱被烧红的铁签子穿过屁股。”天使又翻了一页：“这里，你曾经劝一位想看黑客帝国4的朋友千万别看，说有这钱不如去吃麦当劳。一位圣徒，请进。”
陪父母看的。除了美术和摄影外，其他真的平的有点离谱了。不多说，主旋律。
还不错。。但是劫车的戏份比较多。。斗智斗勇的场景少了些。。
