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.
枕刀歌的前传，以罗通为主角讲了复仇前的故事，应该也是后面所有事情的起因，朝廷要杀掉所有武林人士，最后罗通一帮人杀了知府一家人，再后来冤冤相报。武打设计真不错，动作凌厉连贯，尤其最后枪剑合并，招式新颖，动作看着势大力沉，动作却又轻巧灵活。动作戏应该是最大的卖点了，期待第二季！
好精彩的打斗。江湖上的恩怨情长在这里演绎的太到位了。很棒很香。非常好。
制作不错，难得一见的武侠动漫题材，虽然剧情中规中矩，但是整体打斗场面的演绎绝对是上乘之作
说实话武侠不在我的点上，但也不得不承认这个系列的武侠味道是做到位的，是很纯粹的。而且试图去探索一些更深层次的东西，比如那一群墙头草一般的“喽啰”，他们就是所谓的“无知之恶”。希望有人继续做，因为真正的国漫崛起，从来不是一枝独秀，而是百花齐放。
乱世之下，江湖中人。
少了之前看到时候的经验
太平盛世之下的江湖是人心叵测，而乱世之下的江湖是风雨漂泊，身若浮萍，动荡之下居无安所，不会知道明天会发生什么，携刀戟书剑，负爱恨情仇，是桃花灼灼下的宁静，也是风雨交加下的黑夜，一壶浊酒后，醉舞千百下
总而言之，多读书还是有用处的。
真的太穷了 但是钱全用在刀刃上 每一场打戏 从分镜到动作到配乐 全都无可挑剔 黑白画面也很喜欢 反派可以再鲜活全面一些 （比如为百姓具体做的事情 不然实在太难令人信服
画风很清，武打很炫很连贯，讲的故事也能闭环，唯一就是人物刻画不够，男女主都没有什么性格，唯记住了反派我没有错，只是败了。
小爷我活了一世，终于爽了一把。
虽然剧情一般，但是武打太流畅太讲究，帅
这部电影版为何会比TV版评分低？不理解……TO热评：结尾西门仁的门徒切换得快，喊万岁才是最精彩的讽刺~这个好结尾甚至让我想给五星
动作设计可以加分，到故事和人物刻画还是不行
有些情节没必要啊，笑点还是挺密集的，朴正民演的不错！姐弟情最感动
1、喜欢打戏的不容错过，几乎是从头打到尾，酣畅淋漓，在华语动作电影式微、动作巨星诸神黄昏之际，寄希望于武侠动画，倒也不是不行
不过最后一场打的真好看
这个画风可能一开始有点不太习惯，但讲道理看下去之后完全沉浸在画面里，打戏真的太不错了
时隔一年又看到更三的枕刀歌系列了，真的是太满足了，让我重温了我的武侠梦
参加了超前观影活动，映后谈话里的导演与制片一如影片一样有诚意，经费全都给了打斗部分，武侠爱好者应该过瘾得很。人物应该大多参考港片和金庸之类，开放式讨论空间的供给，在这类型的故事已经泛滥的情况下其实很难引起讨论，哪方都不想得罪，其实也是哪方没法讨好。画面常常跟玩过的一款游戏场景重合，给看尬了，人物应该是为打斗部分服务所以用这种剪纸的画风？金主爸爸给点力哇！！剧情像话剧一样都通过对话来交代，音效全是“kingkingkuangkuang”中间给听嗑睡了20分钟。有点吹毛求疵了！！！但是请一定继续加油！！！！！
