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.
这种环形结构的电影，重在结构而不是反转，反转太多显得刻意，而且虎头蛇尾了
没有电影大气上档次的feel，一股土味咋回事儿。。。。然后最后竟然是解救被拐卖卖去要饭的孩子。。。。
密室悬疑剧，虽然每十来二十分钟设置一个反转，但叙事太拖沓了，摄影只会直拍，看得我有点坐立难安。
3.5。剧本还挺扎实的，但缺点儿惊喜。特别最后的反转应该大部分观众都猜的到，中间再多一点对张颂文、窦骁两人角色身份的误导，让叙事推进更有失控感，可能会更好一点。影像配乐节奏也都很有范儿。
有新导演初出茅庐的锐利。看得出导演编剧模仿能力还行在低成本制作单场景下能搞出怎么多花儿来。如今创作局限里能充分表现一个半小时精彩骗中骗好戏也蛮厉害的。范伟还是演有点范德彪似角色最舒服喜感
罗生门史的剧情 ，不断闪回倒叙，黑色幽默式的悬疑，前半部铺垫的很有悬念，但是到末尾就有些不能圆回来的感觉，让观众跟着剧情破案的感觉很好，在窄小的空间拍出人性的深不可测，演员的表演也没有让人失望，不错
室内案件电影，套路就是从各个人的角度交织做一些逻辑推理或对白情景。6.7
2021M88/6.5 我赞成这是部剧本杀电影！仔细读本！还是有些拖沓，其中小品表演痕迹重不够精炼这点不如疯狂系列。但是作为调节口味的小菜吃吃也挺轻松开心的！
这种片子在类型开头就必须有“巧合”要设置的妙，马明亮和人贩子的强行亲戚关系，就是另一大拙劣点，没有铺设的巧合，编剧为了故事继续只能强开“金手指”。最后一把火的意外，明显是故事编不下去，必须剧情杀三个，不然外卖员不会主动暴露。
坏人也分两种，一种是迫不得已，一种是深入骨髓。
黑色幽默低成本故事，只是故事前提还不足以成立，底层逻辑不够，所以加再多戏剧桥段都还是觉得差点意思
层层剥茧，但其实剧情还是不太行，看的人有点累。范伟老师不卖拐了之后真的好厉害啊！
还不错诶！筒子楼，霓虹灯，身份特征明显的几个人聚集在同一间屋子。封闭空间小成本黑色幽默犯罪悬疑电影，多线叙事加精彩的多个反转，剧作逻辑清晰，每个人的行动线也在叙事中逐渐明朗。但觉得最后结尾可以处理的更好，好像哪个方面都差了一口气。总体还是好看且精彩的！
电音太美妙了，有些点虽然想到了，但是还是很好笑诶！🔥那个地方我笑到捶床垫。依然爱范老师，窦骁也不错，应该多演这种底层角色。
花里胡哨的剪辑、故弄玄虚的讲述方式、随意的慢镜头，能拯救一部故事无新意、满身bug、假装很装逼的电影吗？答案是：不能。
评分「8.0」
看得出来有用心和努力，但终归了欠了一点火候，最大的问题是让观众全程几乎没有代入感，太生硬和干瘪了
节奏稍微有点慢。
密室剧本杀，不断闪回反转，但设计感还是太重了些，看到后面会有为反转而反转的刻意感。对于小场景来说人物有点多了
部分bug，整体不错，范伟这个口音真的自带笑果
