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.
高飞连后脑勺都是帅的！！
有哭有笑能调动情绪，节奏不错，算是不错的电影。为了缪纪君看的，近几年见过最帅的帅哥可能就是这些少年了。个人认为，所谓“爱情线”根本不是为了“市场”而设置的，缪纪君是特别耐看的女孩子，但她或许没有所谓的校花那么亮眼，实际上是给观众一个代入与帅哥校园恋爱的感觉。
结局还是蛮好的，很干脆也call back。辛云来的屁股也很翘诶，你们发现了吗
不算太差的改编，侧重点变成了队长的成长历程。
内心很复杂。其实很多时候我觉得人应该按着既定的路线一直走下去才算成功。但是看到这样不在学习的青春，还是很羡慕。高中写过一篇作文，主题是无用之用方为大用。有时候不必太功利，也不必把一些事看的太重要。
三星半。没看过原版，单从这一部来看，我觉得青春与热血已经做得很不错了！青春，不就是这个样子的吗？想想之前的那些动不动就怀孕堕胎车祸的狗血青春片，这可太他妈（褒义）青春了！里面的喜剧桥段也不违和，尤其是那个天天骂人抓人玩手机的老师，真的又亲切又形象！
有点台湾青春片的味道，最后的集合表演太燃了，在搞笑木讷热血中度过。
三星半吧，国内观众对没有流量的片子还是不够买单（不过拿男主对标妻夫木聪是有点过分自信吧……），整个片子调色和剪辑都很日系，没有把到国内准确的喜剧类型也是票房扑街的原因吧。另外国产片取名还是要谨慎。
没有星光没有流量，素人鲜肉演素人，青春版大浴场属实吹过头了（咱也不知道直播卖惨给谁看
感动点：一起剪短头发 一群人加入 和最后的闯入
原本放暑期档多好，绝对吊打同类型的《燃野少年的天空》，挤国庆档票房扑水多可惜。
如果以后的电影宣传都是在短视频平台请几个网红在位置上观影边看边哭的，你还会去电影院看吗？
日版是真的很神，我跟朋友都推薦過。本土化版本的前半段還不錯，後面全面崩壞，太尷尬了...教練就是個陪襯，改變命運的竟然是個操着方言的抖音網紅，一場比賽媽媽就感動得不行了...?
20年前的价值观现在看还是有点老了。文本上各种槽点。唯一好的就是对青年演员（小帅哥）的发掘，这五个都不错。
热血青春片该有的样子，虽然是翻拍但做了很多细节的本土化。
是后悔没去电影院看的一部。
影片除了辛柏青再没有明星了，但五个男生演的都挺好，各有特色，局部情节也不错，但结合起来总觉得少点什么，每个部分都不尽兴。
简简单单的青春片，拍成这样就很好。有笑有泪，有梦想可追！
一片红色中的一抹清新蓝，只有属于高中生懵懵愣愣的热血冲动，不再让恋情牵着鼻子走的对路青春片
想说点题外话，打压教育在国内太普遍了，普遍到不只是老师、父母，甚至朋友、恋人之间都是如此，很多人的观念是“我在意你才说你，我怎么不说别人”。
