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.
接这个电影，桑德拉布洛克就是奔着表演奖去的。里面那个黑人警察说得挺好，你要活在当下，不能活在20年前。里面有问题的人，都是活在过去的缘故。但是，又哪能这么容易走出来啊。
我希望这样的呐喊能传遍世界。
一个有法律知识的女性受害者，孤勇的用自己的方式去抗衡国家的不健全法律，给她给所有受害的女人，一些能依靠的肩膀❗️
弱势者的正义，没有人关心，如果想提出自己的要求，发出自己的声音，首先得变成强者。“觉醒的星期四”，哪有这回事啊，世界不会觉醒，人们依旧装聋作哑，印度如此，每个国家都如此。丰县没几天就消失了，调查结果呢，没有人关心。
It won't be real
“一位女性以近似恐怖袭击的方式，完成了一次直达天庭的上访。”说的太对了。
印度啊，国人都已习惯笑话你，但每每看到这样质量堪比药神的电影，一部接着一部产出，我只有由衷的敬佩
眾演員演技在線，只是劇本重要設定有硬傷，令全片由頭到尾都欠缺說服力。而當前者愈做得好，就愈顯得後者反映的落差。本片的主旨、立意是善良的，但劇本不嚴謹就是不嚴謹，煞是可惜。
播到公交车那一幕的时候，已经猜到了所有剧情。意义还是蛮好的。
剧情夸张，硬塞了诸多无谓的戏剧冲突，想从头到尾吸引观众的目光是不能依靠这种幼稚手段的，这只会让人产生厌烦情绪而已，同样的弊病还出现在配乐的使用上，配乐一刻不停的电影，真是很难顶。
绑架、要赎金、对话警察与总理，都是次要目的，是在想清楚自己不得不犯罪后，顺手做的、能多做大一点都是赚到的事情。
但整部电影拍的画面太暗了，印度人又长得黑黢黢的，2小时的观影时间看下来很费眼睛。
当我们嘲笑印度人是“阿三”的时候，他们已经拍出了很多吸引关注的佳作，就像本片一样，尽管有些刻意，但好在敢于直面现实，而我们一直在拍战狼。
陈词滥调哈哈，Sandra Bullock一如既往的Poker face。
信息时代，我们不推崇走极端，寻求爆点，但有时候，出发点只是为民族某一方面的觉醒撕出一线光明。
桑德拉·布洛克的人中让我出戏 剧情的高潮也没有撑起来… 是我期望太高了
桑婆演得不错，故事后半段全线崩盘，落于俗套中。
前有《杰伊·比姆》，现有《星期四》，印度电影敢于直击现实痛处这点真的令人叹服。虽然大致能猜出剧情的走向，但最后的反转确实出人意料，让人脊背发冷…片尾报纸的标题似乎更适合当电影名：A Thursday When India Woke Up。最后想借用未婚夫的话大喊一句：“Salute the people who deserve it”！
故事完整叙事清晰，意料之中又意料之外，好电影
“幸福的秘密是自由，自由的秘密是勇气。”
