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.
打斗场面蛮好看的。唯一不足就是感觉结局仓促了一些。谢苗演技真不错呀！
爽片的准则之一：好人一个没死；之二：不要强行升华。谢苗的动作戏还是很好看的，就是结尾强行升华了；当然过程中的剧情也不能深究。
都2021年了，韩国人眼里的中国还是如此刻板印象，有点无语。叙事和节奏都有问题，很一般了
“豫大人，不要忘记了，你是大清的官员。”
一开篇饰演闻嫣的 张美琪 被一刀捅死，编剧你好虐心。本以为饰演安木兰的张梓杉华继良CP，结果被配角兄弟截胡。干哈啊？
电信诈骗题材，电影情节和设定基本能自圆其说，反派把“变态”很好表现出来，节奏和画面紧张刺激。
1839年虎门销烟，1842年第一次鸦片战争结束，香港被割让，中国沦为半殖民地半封建。很难想象南京条约签订时，那些虎门销烟的英雄内心的窝囊和委屈。但至少现在这片土地上生活的人，能过没有鸦片的日子。“整个天都是黑的，就凭你们几个能点亮么”，能亮，哪怕花了200年，也点亮了。
剧情的转折设计得很巧妙，但只能通过主角的笑来体现出现转折了，根本没能从剧情中看出来反派头子是如何被发现鸦片藏在哪里的。另外，个人英雄主义太强烈了，一个人打几百个，要不要这么假，如果是抗战片，是不是要放进来手撕鬼子了啊？感觉这个评分太过虚高，一点也不令人感动，浪费了这份悲壮的历史题材！另外演林则徐的这人，也太胖了吧，面无表情，看不出什么演技，换个人演林则徐，效果会好很多！
阴间滤镜无力吐槽，剧情bug挺多，但是很贴合现实，把骗子癫狂的状态表现的淋漓尽致。电话通信骗人不在于话术多高明，在于直击希望和感受，这一点也太对了！！想到我爸日常和我分享的办案过程中遇到的诈骗，真的巨简单的案子，一听就知道是骗人的，但就是有人被骗，做一波宣传，反诈骗宣传app希望人人都有哈哈哈哈哈哈
看之前我以为是个历史剧，看完发现只是披着历史的外衣，内核是动作电影
这片里谢苗还不错，希望有更好的编剧更好的制作。
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。
个人感觉还不错，剧情紧凑不拖拉，男主没有光环被打的还挺惨，警察不能说猪队友但还是得有男主助攻才能打掉团伙真是气愤，整个诈骗团伙狼性精神真是可怕，用在正途上不好吗？目测会有第二部，有点期待更加黑化的小伙子。
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。。。。
如此题材，配上这么流畅的动作，就不能整个好点的剧情和配乐嘛？可惜
很标准的剧情演绎，角色设置典型...林则徐听报那一段很精彩，如果再深挖一层更好...
解决了这样的问题
3.5吧，情节还行，不过一人独斗电信帮有点扯
整体还是不错，就是电影画面调色有些过了，谢苗的动作戏还是可以的
这部片子的牛逼之处其实在于向大众展示了电信诈骗这个产业是怎么运作的。虽然可能有夸张的成分，但确实很震撼。那么庞大的组织，那么精密的管控，在警察抓到下属一个网点的第一时间，管理者就会知道了，想要根除他们就知道有多难了。为了反诈骗的主题多给一星。
