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.
硬核，纯正，西部片该有的元素他都有了，不需要女性角色，更不需要黑人演员，就是这么纯粹，故事简单，场面火爆，摄影也是美到爆。
一个半小时可以拍的比较紧凑合理已经不错了 没有浪费时间的一部片子
没想到还能穿出来一系列
这就是西部。
整体的节奏和风格，我比较喜欢，人物的外形塑造也不错，结局并不意外
威震江湖的比利小子隐居乡野，当起了农民，但一切随着一帮歹徒的闯入而被破坏。最后一个对八个的枪战尚可。
片子足够完整，但是都普普通通，而且极其老套。感觉就像是看了部几十年之前的美国西部片的重映版。
每當西部片中的少年變成了牛仔，男孩變成了男人，也就意味著可以結束了。簡單的故事無法抵銷對西部片的熾熱情懷。沒有女主但有女人。
硬核老派西部片，有血有肉，不宣扬，不做作。7.5+，多半分，敬情怀。
劇情雖然簡單~但不管是表演或是拍攝手法、背景音樂~都非常用心~味道有拍出來~非常喜歡~
黑警柯里与萨姆匪徒一起合伙打劫银行，萨姆欲杀柯里灭口时，柯里抢走了钱袋……
潮湿的泥土，肮脏的猪圈，衬衫发黄，菜汤易冷。就是这么old school。

他相信了曾经那个少年
前面节奏有点慢

永远不要惹你大爷！西部爽片，不知为什么，很喜欢西部片对枪的感觉。
2021.10.28比利小子隐姓埋名被麻烦找上门解决麻烦自己也被解决
bug多。题材无感。
和《小人物》相比 套路一样 但老亨利火力差得比较多 观感体验也差了点
