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.
“这跟我是修手机的有什么关系”“这跟我年龄有什么关系”，这两次大声回应，在电影院里的我有被激励到。
原来英文名nice view就是好景。困难总比办法多
20220504 这也只能在电影里看到的剧情吧！多一星给四字弟弟！
结局是喜闻乐见的齐欢笑，但是觉得那个啥发布会有点愣愣的呢。
6/10。有佳句无佳章，互换抽烟的暧昧与角力像《卧虎藏龙》里的竹林打戏。男主的死象征着蛮荒时代的终结，最后他穿着代表现代文明的西装进了棺材。血性西部背景下的东方隐忍，是好角度但并不新鲜，这可能是文化差异造成的。“答非所问已经是答了”，它依旧给了太多，像一道数学题而不像诗。（小男主前途无量啊，他与卷福的比拼才是场犬之力）
血汗打工人，又是一个“大有可为”的题材
文牧野导演把类型片元素玩的很到位，该笑的时候能让观众笑，该哭的时候也都能哭出来，导演的水平依旧在线，易烊千玺和一众配角们的表演也都没拉跨，就是票房有点可惜，应该更高一些才对。
中间段落太让人绝望了，也稍显刻意，不过整体不错，虽然我们都知道结局，但过程更重要
有梦想并执着的去实现的人，是最可爱和值得尊敬的。
平庸得可怕，先不说用现实主义风格的影像去包装这个不可信的故事这件可怕的事，整部片子没有高潮可言，尤其是考验功力的第二幕整个坍塌。再说表演，四字虽然没有偶像包袱了，但看完后仔细回想一下竟然没有哪场戏是留下印象的，他这个主角淹没在一众配角里面，甚至比配角更加扁平
时刻在看进度条。怕有新的不成功。3.5⭐️吧。四字弟弟有很大进步了
文牧野的第二部电影依然聚焦现实生活题材和底层小人物的故事，继药神后又迎来了组装小分队，展示各色“老弱病残”的众生相和奋斗史，一路跌跌撞撞、扶摇直上，最终涅槃逆袭的神奇奋斗故事，完美的点题电影名。整个时代背景也重现了改革开放后的深圳，正是一代代的打工人和外地移民推动了这座城市的飞速发展，让我们见证当今世界闻名的深圳之都，这部影片定能激励、帮助、推动更多在路上打拼的人，意义非凡，阳光普照。
一个没看到干啥的肥硕弟弟，一个风韵酒鬼妇人，一个折纸花被戏谑的单薄男孩......
〖20220419〗励志的电影总是令人激动的
难道是因为贺岁的缘故吗，非得加进一些浮夸和喜剧的成分，导致剧情的开始和走向有些不搭，都2013年了，剧情不应该按照这个发展来。
药神这个基调太高了，虽然有降低预期的准备，还是觉得有落差，不过电影细节一如既往的好，演技也不错，希望文导再创佳绩
这一辈子真够苦惨。
PS：好羡慕哈琳，可以趴在千玺的怀里😂
最好的還是四字弟弟，他演什麼，都能讓人信服且疼惜。但他一人顯然撐不起整套戲，沒了導演之前擅長的群像，其他人最後都成了好人好事背景板。而弟弟的完美人設也讓故事套了濾鏡一般不真實，只有客觀困境，沒有主觀困境。整個劇情也一舊舊，前後沒有連貫性，這麼樣板的故事，其實可以參考下港產片的。阿郎的故事不香嗎？
从头到尾都充斥着刻意的不现实。从导演到编剧到演员都没有这种小人物的切身经历，都只是在自己的视角里诠释了一个看似充满希望的故事。不过这怪谁呢？易烊千玺这部戏演的太一般了。
