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.
坟地那场武戏还有点儿意思，但全片能看的也就只有这场而已，文戏简直看不得，一毛钱也不值。一个辅警，因为缺钱钓鱼执法了当地某涉黑组织，还误杀了老大的媳妇儿，后来老大回来寻仇，他居然告诉人家「收手吧」，连我都想替那个老大骂你一句「要不要脸啊你！？」
男主有点像张震，故事还居然可以看下去。风格有点王家卫…
剧情真的是太差劲了，不过还算有自己的风格。
年度最佳西部片。各种元素都到位，还要什么自行车。
名字取得太大而且莫名其妙倒是真的。
前紧后松，没有全盘掌控好，应该还是欠些火候的原因。但至少让人看出整个制作团队的诚意还是满满的。
挺古典的，四平八稳，人物少了点魅力，但看得出是用心之作。
难得一见的武侠剑戟片，武器和招式都很考究，打斗硬桥硬马，运镜及画面都很精良，看得出导演很用心。故事情节弱了一点。华语动作片已经式微，导演是在努力做一件吃力不讨好的事情。我觉得即使有很多缺陷还是应该给导演多一些掌声的，希望下一步片会更好。
水平有限，网大里算认真的。故事核心是林冲陆谦原型，名字都直给得没改。武侠电影是式微了，但还是看不下去这种从东邪西毒新龙门客栈倭寇的踪迹双旗镇刀客等一系列里各挑点东西的缝合片。
一个家里揭不开锅的大侠，在漫天黄沙的镇中讨生活的故事。情节很简单，唯一的亮点是鬼刀林和千人斩两人在坟头拼刀的部分，在这里武指有大师风范了，懂得藏巧于拙。其他地方就不行了，两人最后那一段拼刀也很一般，完全就是比狠。还是得赞一句，很久没有看到这么赏心悦目的武侠片，电视上一演动作戏就是镜头快速切换，飞来飞去，让我头晕眼花。主角老婆的忠贞和颜值，是一看点。
西部动作片氛围拉满，但论剧情不值四分，男主角的女人单枪匹马去红木城打探情报这还不算是赤裸裸的送人头？反派阵营里那个快枪手长得蛮帅但放冷枪真的败好感，人之将死其言也善大坏蛋该死但也是个可怜人
时代进步了，武打却全面倒退了，倒退几十年，开了开头的武打就索然无味了。。。哎。。。
看海报搜的电影，果然是我钟情的武侠感，好多年没见到这种武侠的质感了。服化道不是现今流行的雪白干净影楼装，打斗也不是武术套路，网大中的一股清流啊。
这年头想拍好一部武侠片除了用心还需要很多钱，毕竟不是双旗镇的年代了，现在什么都贵，导演用心了，在没有那么多钱的情况下做到这样已经很不错了，好莱坞那些用钱烧出来的特效大片我们都七分八分的打了，支持咱们国产武侠给个五星怎么了，不丢人
武侠的地点不一定都设在西北荒漠
“你妈的，又捅这里”【哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈全场最佳】
很好看。拍的不错。兵者凶器也，拿起不是轻易能放下的。
看了个寂寞，这个剧情也太六七十年代了吧，主角知道被陆谦害了，还能原谅他，这个真的是接受不了呀，不过质量还是比许多电影强多了
比起那个雪中……，至少武打镜头是过得去的！以资鼓励。
虽然经费有限，剧本也没有精雕细琢，但是做到了认真
