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.
但凡我看了一点剧情简介我也绝不会去看这部电影的。| 2021.12.31 鲁商中心，齐纳国际影城。
想法是好的，几个主演都很优秀。然而缺点太明显，应制文的感觉太明显，如果剧本再仔细打磨会好很多很多……很久没看到武汉话的电影了……另外，鹦鹉洲大桥不让步行吧
抗疫片里逻辑性最差的一部 不过也有感动点
2年后的深圳疫情，虽然不再恐惧，可是，还是记得当年的不安。哭着看完，去查了一下2020年牺牲的医护工作者名单，他们有的人，还那么年轻……希望你们在天堂一切都好
两星半吧 有点刻意 但是父母去看会感动到稀里哗啦的作品
视角展开很好，同一时刻每个相遇的人的故事，老年人组故事真冻人。整体拍的还是比较浅
整体不怎么好看。不如看B站混剪…
有笑有泪吧，去掉高亚麟和徐帆那条线，尴尬程度能大大降低
贾玲这段，没被她和朱一龙感动，反而是周冬雨和她，不管是去吃豆皮哪里还是拿到照片的时候。
限定电影，限定眼泪，年初的时候不想看，现在身在疫区就也把它看完了，不太能评价这样的“电影”，致敬每一位疫往无前的前行者吧。
“扑通花版”是片子的最大debuff，搞得就像春晚小品剧场版plus，显得每个人都在端着演。汉腔版就不同了，码头文化就该有码头文化的样子。
三星半，还是很触动，新冠就三年了，最近各地又有点卷土重来，什么时候才能恢复正常？
2022年3月12日，看了这部电影。今天我家小区闭环管理，感触颇多。
以《撞車》的叙事形式，用不同的点撑起武汉抗疫期间的一个面。贾玲的吸睛指数最高，周冬雨以最少的戏份撑起最大的看点，吴彦姝以83岁高龄和73岁许绍雄谈了一场黄昏恋。虽说主旋律满满，但他们的事迹值得纪念。6.6
虽然挺感人的，但是感觉就是为了感人而感人，好像导演在说：你给我哭。
演员都挺好，剧情没什么说的，电影始终是电影不是现实
全部给贾玲。我心中影后！周冬雨感觉接不住戏，和贾玲对戏的时候，觉得演的还不如贾玲。
晴川历历汉阳树，芳草萋萋鹦鹉洲，2020年武汉疫情，原来已经是两年前的事情了，恍如隔世，又好似昨天。
要不是抗疫主题真的想打一星。煽情也太生硬了，不如直接喂观众吃芥末。
乍一看，好像还不错。仔细一想，漏洞百出。看了一个小时感觉都要结束了，谁知道还有1个多小时。有的场面、感情，确实挺让人感动，但是为了让人感动而让人感动，那就没什么意思了。
