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.
你就会聪明一点，
到目前为止最接近心目中武侠小说里武功对决场面的影视作品，有必要把金庸的作品都拍一遍，以前那些电视电影实在差距太大了。不足之处在于时间短了点，在人物表现上有欠缺。8/10分
100分钟没有一分钟是多余的，很多地方让人忍不住多看几遍，制作方真的是牛逼。
●枕刀歌的世界，宏大且细腻。
别的不说，让我看到了内娱剧里多年不见的丝滑武打戏，满足了！
方郁婷，很厉害，看着白马痛哭的那场戏我可以记一辈子。她就是一块动人的璞玉啊璞玉，有时也会让我想起《血观音》里的文淇。
很喜欢，比起第一季，我更喜欢罗通这个男主哈哈，但是还是有的地方有点生硬，比如江渊，罗影 总感觉还有内容没有全讲清楚，还得自己脑补了
妹妹说："You know, Mum loves you, right?"
打戏延续了剧版高水准，剧情不够跌宕起伏。剧版很多人物都够出外传的，期待更丰富的枕刀歌世界。
画面不错，剧本不行，反派BOSS是学好莱坞亦正亦邪说不清楚动机是好是坏的那种模式嘛，关键是立不住脚，清理各种门派是为了太平盛世，可是也没当皇帝的心啊，帮官府办事干活扫除门派，可要清光了你不就变成唯一且最大的门派嘛。然后开头说那么厉害的漕帮，覆灭的削微也太快了，而且除了帮主和儿子家里全是大众脸，不大行啊
临近片尾时是高潮，情感累积到溢出。生活里的每个人都很难……一家之主的爸爸，面对生病的妻子和虚惊一场的患了感冒肺炎的小女儿，终于绷不住自己一个人哭了起来；妈妈也会害怕，也会疼，也会不知所措，也会大哭，妈妈也是个女孩子啊；姐姐不善于表达，怕妈妈死去所以不知道如何亲近妈妈，表现得讨厌妈妈，实际她是爱妈妈的，却不知道要怎么办；妹妹年纪那么小却很懂事，让人心疼。
最喜欢的一段是方仪一个人去了马场（台湾这么安全吗。。半夜女孩可以一个人出门，好羡慕这样的社会环境），欺骗着自己，一遍遍叫着那匹白马splash，然后抵着马头哭了，镜头给了马的眼睛特写，充满悲悯与慈悲。
庄凯勋最后那一分钟的表演让整部片子的高压气阀终于打开了，窒息这么久终于等来一个喘气口。相比之下，林嘉欣的表演总是让我出神，也许是台词写得太脱离一个“将死之人”的“内敛”，为了冲突，很多时候是为了吵架而吵架，太多设计痕迹。
就是干，动作场面毫不拖泥带水，依旧精彩，串起剧版的那个江湖世界还是不错的。
从原本彼此独立又有联系的剧集变成完整的长叙事电影，破坏掉了大开大阖开门见山的气势、快意恩仇的潇洒江湖气，使叙事变得冗长，相对单薄的英雄气短、儿女情长、胸有韬略等等被前人撰写得不知更高明多少倍的内核，像是被一口气翻过来倒过去地来回喘。
没想到能在一部国产动画看到这么原汁原味的江湖，虽然剧情方面颇为薄弱，但是犀利畅快的打斗让人热血沸腾，特别是击杀敌人瞬间转换的水墨风和绽放的鲜血真是加分，叶清张艺赵恩宇黎泓何的配音真是梦回90年代的TVB武侠世界，妥妥的回忆。
三星半
观影过程中无数次惋惜，这个地方要是有一个情感爆发点就好了！可惜一直没等到，驯马，爸爸哭，掏耳朵的那些段落依旧觉得很刻意。
支线做成电影不跟边角料做成主菜一样毫无诚意么。
英姿飒爽、干净利落的打斗，纯粹的热血，以及快意恩仇。这就是江湖啊。
