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.
没感觉出有什么独特之处，强烈建议印度电影出一个海外剪辑版，精炼一下，现在这个版本太啰嗦，太冗长了。
雷伊之后阔别了半个多世纪，印度电影终于回归到了社会最底层。矛盾很尖锐，手段很残忍，过程很煎熬。人们都习惯了对弥赛亚的期待，而且最重要的前提是司法系统是绝对公正的。故事铺陈得很顺畅，尽管片子略长倒也能接受。最大的问题在于宣泄点太多太满，令到观影的乐趣所剩无几。
印度电影看过的并不多，除去歌舞剧情还算紧凑。除了多线叙事，内容没有想象中波折起伏。主角人物塑造扁平化，大量镜头语言和BGM烘托英雄形象。横向与韩国《辩护人》比较，这部电影并没有想象中的好。但是，真人真事改编，从中可以看出印度司法改革的努力。值得推荐。
说起来，似乎没见过我国有这样的法庭电影，即便是宣传性质的也没有，一切都靠罗翔。
居然格外紧凑，一点不拖沓除了部分舞蹈，印度真的敢拍啊，不过种姓问题真的好难解
导、演、剪、编都是行活，但是意义非凡。人文关怀是四颗星的最后一颗。我们也需要一个又一个这样的律师，如果我们还能容得下这样的律师的话。
印度的电影在为部落弱势表达声音，我们有的是没有疑点的被狗链拴着的八个孩子的母亲。多少座盲山，需要多少个金福南？
感觉是八十年代那种叙事风格，正派反派的理想主义。
非常赞同一个哥们的回复，一个蛆爬出来说大家都在粪坑里，恰恰表明大家确实都在粪坑里
过于原始的种姓制度面对突如其来的现代西方文化，这种反差所产生的冲击比我们的更猛烈，印度的神奇可能就是在于这种近乎奇幻的反差，简直就是故事题材的天然沃土...
这个拍出来的形势，就像一个印度超人拯救平民一样，这种跟传统的美国意识形态相一致了。
确实很正义，确实是好题材。不过作为电影本身，8.7的评分过了。大家是以浇自己心头之块垒么
调查官有一句话说得特别好：“我不知道会有什么判决，但是我完全满意的是，我是按照法律和良心行事的。”
印度电影因为受众原因，通常拍得很长（据说影院里好避暑），表现手法中规中矩，通俗易懂，艺术性一般。但也正因此，电影受众极广。印度民众对于心灵和社会问题的关注度与思辨爱好，千年邻居只能汗颜。
断断续续看完，印度真是歌舞的国度，一段黑暗的历史，拍的很励志的感觉
8.0。有个缺点就是片子太长。后半部分很燃。
警察犯罪漏洞太大了，这也给律师很多的机会，没有摔跤好看，感觉差了点意思，为真实的律师点赞，有信仰才有希望
“我相信事实。” The Lawyer.
160分钟真是把节奏和情绪都拿捏住了 除去主角太光环伟光正 主线案件剧情复杂得还挺严谨 这么多人物也能随着主角抽丝拨茧让人记住 看完再看原片名可真贴切啊 斗争万岁 （真是东亚文化一体 同样的故事换个背景放在韩国也毫不违和 代入了一下如果韩国来拍 必然会交代主角背景 也必然是个小人物 事件发展会更合理
宝莱坞风格的《辩护人》，但同样非常有力量！
