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.
武戏很认真，文戏全为引出武戏，故事也就无所谓了。画面渲染总感觉有边线断裂的不连续感。结尾音乐还以为是“星之所在”，囧。
好惊喜！运镜行云流水，打斗场面完成度极佳，所谓“反派”竟然如此有血有肉，唯一的缺点是文戏太少，叙事不太流畅。
本片的致命伤在于阮凤仪在想讲好自己的故事，却始终跳脱不出少年时的视角，交出了一部深刻性堪忧的作品。本来很期待对爱与恨“互为表里”的拓展，可令人期待的“我恨妈妈”的演讲不了了之，片尾的《尽在不言中》莫非是导演对这种遗憾的回应。方郁婷演技不用我再夸，但想补充她语言方面也让人信服，台北美国学校的背景不可或缺。书店放着《说爱你》，第一次MSN发消息时听着《安静》，第二次是《爷爷泡的茶》。怀疑感染SARS的病人上吊轻生，在今天的上海看来并没那么远…
这个家需要感谢那个还在坚持的丈夫和父亲，巨大的漩涡之下，他安慰着每一个人，他很真实，会烦躁会抵触，会一个人在楼梯间痛哭，但至少他还在坚持。也是辛苦台湾女演员了，林嘉欣在这边得乳腺癌，贾静雯在隔壁得精神病。。以后台湾类似的家庭片会越来越多，但有杨德昌 他们的珠玉在前，现在的这些电影 ，你只能说还不错，但离很好 还很远
（第一季两个配角的过去。剧情是挺传统的明末背景武打片剧情。打斗真是精彩。）
喜欢江渊。
终于来了
动作设计五星，动画四星，剧情三星半，四舍五入给五星！
天下熙攘，利来利往。一两热血，价格何如。这江湖，灭了吧。9分的画风 打斗，5分的剧本 ，有趣的港片风配音7.0
这么有武侠风的动漫大电影对我来说真的是一种享受啊，武侠迷一本满足！
優缺點都很明顯，動作設計很棒，力量感十足。全片的立意也很不錯，是超凡脫俗的，就是文戲的部分台詞和配音感覺不太對，雖然配音感覺也邀請了實力很強的人了已經。另外就是國產動畫的某種通病，動作非常機械、僵硬……
"I don't have a choice.""You always have a choice."
三渲二的习作？不会是用Blender软件做的吧？美术、画工都不错了（当然还有不小提升空间），尤其值得一赞的是打斗场面的处理，运镜和节奏都相当带感了，不过说到故事嘛，就...
有些人对身边的家人很苛刻，对外人反而很温柔。
怎么会如此平庸....就这还金🐎热门😓 我甚至想说太烂了
不废话只靠打来复仇，有一种很经典的国风武侠感，罗通也是全能，拳脚好还使的一手好戟，打的太顺畅，太过瘾
枕刀歌里的江湖，没有绝对的对与错，有的是人性的思考，这次番外里的最大反派西门仁，虽然屠杀武林中人，但对于临清再无刀枪的那种执念还是挺折服我的
生涩但诚恳 小细节处理的好 影像调度能力还需要加强 尾收的有点虚 摄影跟表演非常好
TV版中的“反派”，电影版中的主角。没有讲正邪，没有非黑即白，而是在说世间，说江湖。剧本绝对不差，每个角色都能完全立住，就算西门仁也是有自己的世界观，不对但也没错。人物的丰满在整个《枕刀歌》中做的非常出色，包括TV的各种回溯。至于画风，为了凌厉的打斗把人物做成略带水墨的简笔，完全可以接受，留意背景的精致就明白是有意为之。动作的分镜和招式是我看过的武侠中最好的，是纯武侠。
就只有打斗场面能看了，剧情和台词比之前的剧集还差。看之前还想说武侠复兴靠国漫。。再努努力吧。
