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.
唉！《黄飞鸿》里的“虎门销烟”都比其拍的融入点。
虎门销烟，太震撼了，伟大的中国人民，伟大的中国历史👍。有经历才会更好的发展自己。谢苗有一部爱奇艺电影，是长期合作了吗。
见识到了如此大规模有组织的电信诈骗 真的让人防不胜防…所以遇到任何事一定要冷静 不能乱了方寸！
不错的一部网大，只是剧情在打磨有些反转更好了，动作戏比较出彩，虎门硝烟这段勾起对历史的回忆，向林则徐致敬！
其实是冲着金武烈来看的，金武烈发挥得中规中矩，演得人物有点变态哈哈。
值得上院线，非常不错。台词一级棒。片子节奏也很好。
现在网大的水平这么高了啊，谢苗我记得有段时间央视五套的古装武打片常驻主角啊，武打设计不错很流畅，也有观赏性，故事没太大瑕疵，本质上就是个武打片
韩国辣鸡影视剧又黑了我国一把，那些总是自以为是客观的影评，真是又蠢又坏！
不知不觉中当年新少林五祖的小英雄这么大了。。。这算是一部合格的网大，尤其是开篇的动作戏，反而最后的打戏有点虎头蛇尾了
蛮好的，武打动作看得过瘾，情节紧凑，演技不拉垮，值得一看
看着就生气 感觉是拍的最接近现实的一部关于电信诈骗的电影 代入自己已经气疯了 电信诈骗必须严惩不贷
“华继良 你不明白嘛！ 就算没有我们 也会有大把的人顶上来！”
动作设计居然还可以，谢苗就是吃了颜值的亏，同时代下，他看起来比释小龙老了十岁。。。。
比想象的要好，节奏还挺快的，还有些小反转，但依然比较简单
只看前半部分，良心之作。有一些李连杰黄飞鸿的影子。就冲你这份认真，给五星！
真没想到，这部片子还不错，谢苗演的很好。这个角色很适合他。值得一看。
题材可以，电信诈骗下地狱！剧情一般，有点飓风营救那味儿。就是后面咋觉得有点变味儿呢，来中国一趟也不忘黑一下空气。
故事平平，但是能关注这样题材比较新颖了。男主太像富大龙了
人生在世，当如是观
主演是当年跟着李连杰演打戏的小孩哇。
