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.
再闯入茫茫人海中 ，做着平凡的梦，
抄就好好抄。多挖掘人物内心，离谱的剧情是国产电影的通病。。游个泳而已，一会解散，一会让游，一会让参加表演赛，一会儿又不让，还得自己偷偷跑到后台插电线。110分钟的时间全在走剧情了 腻不腻啊
鼓掌鼓掌！！！日版角色更喜感一些，本土化完全不同的基调，最后呐喊着冲出来时真的热泪盈眶和笑出声并存，配钢铁洪流进行曲就很绝了游出了水中军体拳既视感哈哈哈，最后节目编排也挺好看的！是付出努力做出的电影，是成功的！多一星鼓励！
啊啊啊又中二又热血，第一次感受到男孩的魅力，捂脸
感觉这就是国内青春片应该有的样子，感觉这是有效本土化的典范，看出很多校园生活的细节，也能引起共鸣，为了目标去努力的感觉真的蛮感动的。结尾花样游泳真的看出来很用心的表演，挺喜欢的。
比原版差点，最后的表演还是可以的 7/10
三星半。你知道每一套套路在哪，结局是啥。工具角色是谁。事实证明，日本和台湾省的味道只要学会用好，至少合家欢在一起看电影不会觉得浪费时间。队长张伟的演员是个惊喜，几次情绪起来都超额完成任务。青春就是这样 青春浓墨重彩的一笔就是这样。一想到我的儿子也会在将来长成挺拔 傻了吧唧 拼搏 友情 荣誉感的小伙子，就越发开心。
青春片能拍成这样没有耍酷的，已经很不错了。挺用心的励志了，感谢一下片子里面一些有名演员的表演支持。
还可以吧，没有可以煽情，没有特别突兀，男花样游泳，不错……
此电影拍得烂不说，营销路子太恶心，营销自己没事别去踩别人呵，抖上不是营销得很猛嘛。你们内娱导演制片编剧能不能别装疯卖傻，以为观众都是随便你们忽悠是吧，票房教做人！好好用心出作品吧，继续这样下去活该赔掉裤子，最好赔到你们破产滚蛋还大众个清静！
剧情还是好草率，只是赢在了精气神上。有些东西还是蛮走心的，“没人在乎你累不累，哭没哭，只会在乎你行不行”，即使普通，也要努力绽放自己。五个少年各有特色，演员和角色好评。
没想到竟然选了钢铁洪流作为表演开场的音乐。和原版不一样的扑水少年，改编的非常本土化，电影很不错，虽然目前的现实里它几乎不可能发生。
日版给人的感觉是突破了所有束缚，此翻拍可看性尚可，但完全归功于原故事的灵巧，主线情节的安排还是落入窠臼，阳刚这样的词出来的瞬间我就想翻白眼。
那片天空。
《扑水吧，少年！》才是最契合的片名。与原版的表达截然不同，自以为是的卖弄热血，面目不清的青春群像，以及本土化特色内容，有很不喜欢的地方，但总归有清爽滤镜的加持，好过这几年打包上映的疼痛青春片。
结尾把无厘头改得很理想，却让人觉得没那么理想了。
PS：海族馆工作+日常训练，除了高飞麦子色外，其他四个显得太白净了；好几处没处理好，高飞和泳队队长比赛时在泳池里特写伤了脚，然后呢?辛柏青教练角色比较出彩，好像是瘦了，扎头发潦倒感有佳，不知海洋馆后来赚钱了没，海豚们还好吗，遗憾海豚的腾跃仅仅只是打酱油的……
感动点：一起剪短头发 一群人加入 和最后的闯入
