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.
和第一部一脉相承，剧情上说得过去，硬汉肉搏的爽感及刀刀进肉的砍杀依旧让人血脉喷张，当作爽片来看不错，也算是韩国目前成熟电影工业的模板化产品了。对于反派最好还是多留点神秘感和距离感，不然前期感觉还是个嗜血怪物，后期看多了也就麻木了，反派的逼格就慢慢消散了，应多学学《黄海》，对反派棉大叔的刻画总是点到为止，直到最后也吊足了观众胃口。
剧情简单，感觉演员很少，不知道是不是因为疫情，电影规模都缩水了
有点拖沓。马胖很可爱~有点90年代电影的感觉
我真的无脑喜欢影视化里的暴力执法警察，中国的马军，韩国的马锡道。警察抓贼拳拳到肉，轻的打残重的打死。延续首部高质量剧情多了很多笑点，哈尔滨张谦笑死。在漫威走了过场的吉尔伽美什拳头又硬了不少，已经走出独属自己风格的打戏，干脆利索一招制敌。屋内二对多的砍刀戏很爽，马东锡进场参战两拳后气氛幽默不少。公交车solo我很诧异江海尚能坚持这么久，一拳把头打出玻璃基本结束战斗，当然还是好看的，影视化提升了点非人类力量，挥拳和正蹬的威力让我觉得祖国人来首尔都要领两耳光。希望这个系列再多塞点打戏，让马师傅来点《坏家伙们》那种一对多群战再好不过啦
一般吧，前面半个小时还行，后面的节奏越来越平，什么走向都可以猜到了，最后半个小时更是只想把电影看完算了，机械的看着马锡东挥动拳头。
20220718，Fantasia。Somehow比第一部好看不少。跟著觀眾一起做反應可太幸福了！
好想让孙锡久赢啊
橘子精外传哈哈哈，谁看到马东锡这外形敢跟他打啊，那个非法偷渡者的选择才是最明智的
【19】—— 1 —— 🔴 2022【41】 🔵 韩国【17】
简单粗暴纯爽片了。解放日志后遗症，总觉得孙锡久是被马东锡在越南打完了，才去乡下躲的。。。
三星半；马东锡还是每部都一样，孙锡久真不错；居然又冒充哈尔滨张谦蛋
马Sir和张易洙以后就警匪搭档破案吧，能演一季～
其他都挺好，就是结尾的打斗不如第一部结尾的打斗看着那么有痛感。
还行的电影，有些地方有点强行降智了。PS：没有人能在马东升的bgm里打败马东升。
The.Roundup.2022.WEB-DL.1080p.x264.AAC-TUHDER大不如第一部，唯一看点就是马东锡揍人了
最近几年的犯罪片，总有李丰田一样的上天入地遇神杀神的歹徒怎么事儿
听说破了韩国观影人数，不如第一部，甚至反派也不如第一部的亮眼.65/100
悍匪辣么猛，和马胖子相比，居然不是一个量级的
工业含量太高。不走心。冲突也不聚焦。多靠倒叙揭示因果，但没吊起观众的胃口，缺悬念感，就大叔和小罪犯的Cp感还行。
久旱逢甘雨，
