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.
网大佳作！！！上一部谢苗的网大佳作应该算是东北警察故事，这两部其实都可以作为系列一直出下去！类型说明中写的武侠本来没太期待，完全因为东北警察故事想看看谢苗的表现，结果真的没想到竟然主题如此鲜明、动作如此流畅，没有一秒浪费，节奏紧凑、剧情合理、音乐到位、布景精致……尤其近来各种社会事件的影响下，一句“讨个公道”能震撼多少人！！！
看完感嘆譚志剛的演技是如此的自然。之前就對他在牯嶺街的表演就印象極深，這次的角色和“馬公子”有一些共同之處，同時也加入了他自身的特徵，使他能更好融入角色。最後呈現的結果相當不錯，“阿逗”同“馬公子”相比，多了更多内在的層次，。
琴娘不断给乙哥捉刀人使命，是要给个念想，让他一直有希望，最后用性命告诉乙哥，瘟神需要再次重现。战场和明月楼的场景转场，一把秋风刀的飒爽淋漓尽致。
BGM也不错特别是片尾
流畅，动作和剧情都够流畅，希望这是好的开始，送两颗星鼓励一下
作为网大来说 水准已经是中上了 毕竟我们不是网飞
流畅，动作和剧情都够流畅，希望这是好的开始，送两颗星鼓励一下
一般吧，当个爽片看，剧情和逻辑基本一窍不通，服化道也不行，不过几处动作戏挺好的，但是全片没有高潮
不管有多像座头市，光着打击感和画面质感，该片值五星
场景、服装、化妆、道具都可圈可点，几场动作戏的氛围感也很贴切，甚至是电影片名和剧情设定都有一种玄机和深意，唯独剧情，体量小而单薄，结束前的复仇戏份几乎无波无澜，少了很多的悬念和跌宕。
谢苗长大后终于有部超出及格线的电影了，不容易，作为年青一代还能拍打戏的演员真得支持下。ps：看过了，谢苗看久了还挺帅的，镜头画面也比他之前的网大好了不少，但是动作设计就有点退步了，大环境如此，能拍一部这样的武打片已经很不容易了，也没法苛责。加油吧。
部分剧情略显多余，哪怕留白处理也行，太多不必要的剧情使得最大优点——公正 不够突显
虽说是和座头市整体风格情节大相径庭，但看完可以确定还是借鉴了座头市整体世界的一些特征（虽然成分很低了），坚持嘴硬说完全是本国文化的实在是有点违心了，你们又不是韩国人，大可不必
网大版《座头市》 有一说二 动作戏是不错 但是剧情拉夸 台词真的很硬 那场类似维京战吼的戏 我特么能说直接笑喷了吗
放在网大里，倒也是可圈可点的作品，毕竟这种程度的剧本，能稍微有些气质出来已经是不错了。
本土化的座头市，打戏很漂亮，美指也不错。虽然瞎子能辨颜色什么的太扯，琴娘送人头的行为让人迷惑，宇文家的衰落也快得像是黑帮被剿，但整体来说还是很不错的。请谢苗多多拍打戏，请网络大电影按照这个标准来拍。
一部古装爽片，美术，摄影，动作在很多细节上都颇用心思。片名也是亮点之一，值得稍加细品。
画面、动作优于一般网大，只是演员台词功底一言难尽。
故事简单，时长仅70多分钟，剧情也并非毫无破绽，但是胜在节奏紧凑不拖沓。作为一部网大，能看出成本很有限——没有大场面、全是影视城的景，但却一点也没摆烂，导演显然在摄影构图、叙事氛围上是有自己的美学思考的，更为难得的是拍出了最近几年影视剧里少有的“侠以武犯禁”的江湖气。比一众S+，也比好些院线电影都好看。
缺点：女性刻画和表演过于肤浅，台词做作，剧情有点低幼，打戏镜头切的太碎影响观感和动作分析
