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.
感觉还行，愿疫情早日散去。(7.0/10)
实在想不通我到底为了什么在节假日充满小孩的电影院看这么一场优秀演员演出来的尴尬的槽点满满的电影。
感觉得到原始剧本是想写好故事线的穿插交汇那种叙事型，可惜收尾还是差了好大口气。除了部分穿插的写实场景还算可圈可点，其他的小片段也就两位老演员和中年夫妇的两条线因为演员的内核表现力，算张弛有度又有故事性。难得让我觉得黄渤得向前辈多看齐。
奔着两主演去的， 结果全程尬，不理解不理解
这么些美好的人，是寒冬的一团火，温暖人心，让人忽略了疫情的残忍，剧情稍显单调; 朱一龙真合适叶老师的角色形象，儒雅温柔
为了登广州塔在可选择中选择了这部，看之前不知道任何相关的宣传。虽然影评中很多人打低分，但在电影院我还是实实在在地流泪，被平凡人打动。为了赶地铁还有30分钟结尾没有看。细思确实很多槽点，我也不是鉴赏家，只要有触动就好了
就是疫情期间平凡人的平凡故事。20211231 @德信影城5号厅 7排10座
片尾曲好好听『说好了不散』。
我觉得可以不要拍抗疫片了 有点审美疲劳了... 电影主题很正，但真的觉得和别的没啥区别
作为一部电影，拍得还没有B站点击最高的那几个抗疫混剪感人，绝倒
但如果在遇到困难的时候，想到一个人就会产生战胜困难的决心，那该有多好。在想找个人倾诉的时候，知道会有人一直在，他会聆听你，那该有多好。真的有人不在意你胖不在意你丑不在意你不会化妆，因为你善良真诚负责而喜欢你，那该有多好。如果有的爱超越了性，就是想要在你身边陪伴你拥抱你，那该有多好……
真实的历史背景下的题材本就非常难拍，但这部也有点儿太烂了吧！
很多人看到题材可能就在心里减分了吧，我想不带着成见去看，就把它当做欧美圣诞片，其实还蛮不错的。我很喜欢那对黄昏恋，他们俩的一举一动、一言一行都很可爱；D则是感动大于喜欢吧，医院送饭那段居然眼泪汪汪地哭了，递给他纸巾擦擦男儿泪。
贾玲值得一个好结局啊啊啊啊啊啊啊，普普通通平平淡淡却深入人心，喜欢
“扑通花版”是片子的最大debuff，搞得就像春晚小品剧场版plus，显得每个人都在端着演。汉腔版就不同了，码头文化就该有码头文化的样子。
靠，看两个小时ppt。这导演编剧企图用各路明星大牌来掩盖自己捉襟见肘的能力。
别的不说 我是真的哭了好久😭虽然剧情上多少有些不合理，也可能确实是因为疫情始终没有离我们远去，于是时事热点下这部电影也还是很不错的！小护士没了，然后叶老师没了，然后那个老奶奶医生也快没了，md直接眼泪啪嗒啪嗒啪嗒掉，超级难受(〃′o`)还好医生老奶奶还在 ，可以和大厨老爷爷相守到最后啦！！！刚好也是自己来姨妈然后由于各种小事情心情不太好很难受的时候，哭一哭也利于发泄自己的情绪，很好啦！所以给四星！我哭了！玲儿人真好，渤哥也好厉害呀！为人民服务地汪勇，实事改编！！！respect！是我不一定能做到的地步了！
虽然电影不太好看但是是和喜欢的人一起看的嘻嘻
连行活儿的标准都没达到，影帝影后演起戏来都显得很轻浮，本应是含着深情的台词被随意念起。没有生活体验，没有细心钻研，只能利用夸张的方式掩盖自己无法共情的真相。更像一群人完成了一个任务，至于好坏并不重要。
我看了前10几分钟，进入故作之后就不看了。
