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.
挺惊喜的，挺完整的，毕竟东北背景的电影及格的太少了，但东北元素还是太少了，除了一点雪和东北话，整体风格太像港片，打斗场面不错，主角们演的也很好，谢苗多年来一直在默默磨练演技，确实能看到成果，而且武术动作干净利落，在中国功夫片式微后继无人的状况下，未来可期，谢苗还是有很多优势的，8090童年回忆，稍微加大宣传，知名度就能上来，而且有功底，吴京也是战狼后才大火特火的，希望谢苗可以走出一条属于自己的路，警匪动作片有开拓空间，这个角色挺适合他的，李红旗的人设也立得住，期待下一部。建议继续打磨剧本，多请一些东北演员来客串，如赵家班演员，我觉得他们也都有瓶颈，合作一下可能有不一样的火花。
比较写实的电影，谢苗的演技还是在线的，剧本也不错。
标准的警匪爽片。 很多的是想说，武打功夫片现在华语市场基本青黄不接，甄子丹退了之后，张晋，赵文卓这些都没有接起来，如果谢苗有想法其实可以考虑下，朝这个方向发展，当年他听了周润发的建议回去读书这个建议。现在来看不知道是否正确，当时投身拍戏，现在有可能是一代打星了。
故事简单，反派设定不是很在线，显得有点弱，小故事小表达吧
大陆动作警匪片中拍的真算不错的，镜头真实，故事虽然比较简单，节奏很好，连贯不拖沓，好看。
名义上是找的武打明星谢苗，想拍个警匪功夫片。可是你们拍出来是个啥啊，看的眼睛都要晃瞎了。
剧情比较简单无脑，但是打戏都挺精彩的，算是合格的网剧。
开头谢苗的打戏，虽然开胃菜，但也秒了许多一线水演员，剧情问题不大，五星鼓励
整体结构和导火线很像，就连反派三兄弟的配置都是一样的。几个群演拉垮点，其他还都不错，导演是香港龙虎武师一脉的，所以动作镜头是亮点。苗啊，努力会有机会的
这个明显拍得比犯罪都市2好，分数居然要低一分多，果然在豆瓣国产是原罪。
比较有趣的是，导演有意或无意间的叙事节奏（一味推进，毫无细节），还真蛮符合东北人的说话风格，直来直去，很少拐弯抹角。
我知道你们的是假打，可是也太假了吧。假的让我无法看下去。这都2021年了，最起码的你来个慢动作也可以啊。
短小精悍，很多人估计看完才反应过来谢苗原来是他，和我们一起长的的小娃娃，五星好评鼓励一下
“你爸巩伟（李连杰），当大陆公安为了几百块拼老命，你这儿子当了人民警察，也延续了优良作风嘛，哈哈哈哈”
剧情肯定不行，不过对网打要求也别太高。谢苗很不错啊，再磨炼五年找个好机会绝对翻红
网大的动作戏拍成这样确实挺意外的，但是非得来点不切实际的吗，你让谁下岗呢，小老百姓。
开篇有种塑料感，但接着看下去感觉也还好。
剧本真是渣，虎头蛇尾，但是打斗还比较棒，线下小众电影均分这个数已经不错了，选角还都挺好的起码不出戏
能看出编剧的野心觉不仅仅写这么一个故事，脑海中应该还有一个大家伙。
三分吧，老三黑化其实还行，塑料兄弟情。
