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.
本来以为又是粗制滥造的快餐低能剧，没想到异常的流畅。武打动作也格外有心意，拳拳到肉，也没舍得快进。台词和剧本确实是小成本制作，不能要求太多，支持！！
模仿痕迹太重，但作为网大在当前这个创作环境中已实属不易。
打戏非常精彩，质感非常好，镜头的拍摄运镜和剪切也干净利落，加成很多，完全超出预期，可以说完爆很多大制作，剧情不细究。这个要拍2，给足钱能上天。报着当背景音放的片子，没想到打戏这么屌爆了！
最后，谢苗真的好帅，真的好帅！
值得推荐…谢苗的用功观众们都看在眼里…！！！未来可期！！！！！！
少林五祖的小谢苗已经长得变成刘奕君+孟鹤堂的结合体了！时间过的可真快呀！吴京用用谢苗吧，他真的很能打！情节有点过于简单，只能给一星；好在打戏不错，➕2🌟！
打戏真的可，好久没看过这种实实在在的打戏了。
开局哪里很东北。
打斗大多集中局促空间，ktv，赌场，医院，大巴车之类的，比较写实，值得鼓励👍🏻。就是这剧情实在不敢恭维，突然就抓二嫂，后续就一顿武力速战速决……目前豆瓣评分超过了成龙警察故事2013
看了花絮 打戏是真打 整挺好 这才是人民警察该有的样子
非常东北彪的气息，影片风格很贴近《导火线》，打斗非常好，谢苗痞气但是一股打不死的愣头青劲头的小警察非常喜欢。但是也的确犯了很多动作片的通病，就是剧情上空了。
7.0/10分
可惜了 剧本太弱 不然苗哥可能就翻红了 希望以后有好武打剧多找找苗哥
网大里算是不错的，可以再精益求精。
三星半，剧情简单直接，重点是打戏是真来啊，跟一般的花拳绣腿绣花观感真的不一样，然后警察一点不圣母，下手凶狠程度一度让我怀疑能不能过审啊，看着还是挺爽的，一些逻辑小bug，谢苗一警察有点流里流气的，肖家三兄弟怎么就这么容易弄出个地下大赌场，还过完假期就收手不干了，规模不大手枪喷子都装备上了，也没那么重要了
挺实在的一部电影，没有花活，配角演的比主角好。
动作演员不容易...特别是看了龙虎武师以后很感慨...谢苗也不容易...这么多年了...也没大火...挺期待他和李连杰同框的...
挺好看的，很有东北特色，未来的国产动作片就看谢苗了
剧情简单直接，打斗得可以，就是谢苗这个纹眉是真的看着不太习惯🤣
难得的小电影拍出大制作的感觉，反正看着就是很爽，味道很正，推荐
