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.
我不该看的……全程没有我的笑点，叙事也没什么意思……
其实还可以。
感情戏轻描淡写就在于，学生时代的爱情本就像酒中泡沫一样，大部分都会消散。捱过繁杂的工作，与好友举杯畅饮倾诉衷肠，享受着短暂的午夜，直到新的一天开始，这才是离开象牙塔后真正的生活啊
不是很能融入进去的感觉，部分台词和表达情绪的方式不是很理解，男二伤心的样子还是很帅的，最后结尾有些烂。
不评价，反正不好看。但这个大叔也太帅了吧，痛苦与荣耀里他就很帅啊，烈焰焚币他年轻的时候更帅到惨绝人寰。
生活都是一步一步走出来的，无休止的约炮不能解决任何问题，要会适当的控制，不让自己以及生活失控，这才是最好的
糟心了快两个小时，最后十分钟是平静的，好担心编剧最后让他从楼上跳下去
还有吴政世爱而不得的使坏工具人也很逗哈哈哈。
有几处片段还是把我笑倒了，多好的电影啊，越到后面越喜欢。
其实还可以。
秉承了爱笑会议室的幽默细胞，编剧，导演，演员，都非常到位，小成本大精心制作。中国的电影就应该这么拍，看得津津有味，搞笑又不失温情，结局合情合理，基本上没什么明显的漏洞。
还挺有意思的，起码一个故事讲下来了，比那些花里胡哨的大电影强多了。小烧烤必须支持一下啊。就是这个结局的反转感觉有点突然。
“我不再是那个能听你倾诉的人了。”
不是单纯的搞笑，是爱情片。儿子在雨中的爆哭，很感人。柳承龙饰演的男主，前妻和现任太像了，傻傻分不清。整体还可以。
三星，演员卖力加一星。躁郁症的中年危机，失去旧爱，女儿毕业开始事业，母亲去世等问题，时刻在亢奋，时刻心猿意马却时刻失控，剧情想表达的内容本来不错，但导演叙事能力不够，层次不分明，转折靠死亡和幡然醒悟就显得力度不够和软绵绵的了
就算混颜色那个颜色也不会消失，只是会被看成是其他颜色而已，其实那里面有我们所知道的原本的颜色。
吧？
低配弱化版《花束般的恋爱》。已婚但对自由踌躇空虚的女性，仅仅因为侧颜相同而受到心机引诱陷入爱情的男性，将人物复杂矛盾的特性用所谓甜蜜温吞的青春桥段掩盖，将女主符号化让男主俗套得成长，用爱情线极度冲淡了友人在现实社会追逐梦想从而对男主的影响和冲击，怎么能够做到几乎避开所有剧作能够提供的出彩点的。黑岛结菜耐看灵动，徘徊在稚气和成熟之间，近乎完美的恋人角色，但和角色的复杂性好像有些出入。
貌似谁的生活都是一团乱麻，生活中的不堪，与面对未来的迷惘交织在一起，貌似没有前途和希望。但故事没有那么好看。
还挺有意思的，起码一个故事讲下来了，比那些花里胡哨的大电影强多了。小烧烤必须支持一下啊。就是这个结局的反转感觉有点突然。
