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.
东木老了，故事不再刚了，可是就为了最后车上那一段关于“硬汉被夸大”的对话，我再多一分情怀分
片子非常一般，但是东木主演的电影已经形成一个特定人物和他的故事，我愿意像追连续剧一样一直看下去。
在有生之年真的是看一部少一部，希望老爷子能一直健康长寿！
真是一部老爷子对自己意淫的作品啊，都90岁了还有美女想睡他，还有美女真正爱他😂
一个少年的回家之路，也是一个老头的释怀之路。少年与父亲和解，老头与过去和解。选景、用光已臻化境。伊斯特伍德老爷子的电影我看了半辈子，少时如烈酒，痛快而上头；暮年如清茶，隽永而悠长。垂垂老矣依然孜孜不倦追求自己热爱的事业，我们年轻人还有什么偷懒懈怠的借口？只是，老爷子的电影，真的看一部少一部了。。。
在只会努嘴的小孩面前，东木的演技太内敛、深沉了，他们自始至终都没融在一起。至于营造气氛和解决冲突，老头连行活都不屑于使，直接一记「鸡械降神」给我看呆。
这部看得百感交集，哀叹老爷子的老去，更惊叹老爷子的一切。上一部他导和演的《骡子》，比这部要好看得很多，而之后的《理查德朱维尔的哀歌》更是让人跪服。不管老爷子是心有余而力不足还是刻意为之，我觉得都可以理解。毕竟这是你能看到的屈指可数的90岁以上高龄的导演和演员的作品了。好好珍惜吧，可以的话我希望老爷子能导和演到一百岁。
老爷子的电影看着就是舒服，可惜男孩的演技太差了，严重拖后腿
老爷子身体真棒，都2021年，还在做镖师。
这是一部“停留”片，不是延展。多一星当然是给伊斯特伍德。

勉强三星。91岁的东木依然高产，状态还行，但毕竟岁数摆在那儿，又导又演显然还是吃力的。
i don't know how to cure "old".
平淡無奇，簡潔直接，但結尾有點感動。東木爺子此等精力令我敬佩，有些許幾個鏡頭很有感覺，但估計是因為老爺子體力不如以往，沒時間雕琢。他現在就是想多拍。多一部就是賺，拍下去！此外，還有一些台詞；結合老爺子年輕時的精力；對過往是有反思的。
整体平淡无奇，老爷子90多岁还亲身上阵出演实在不易！
前两天我看了一条关于国产电影的评论。意思差不多是喜剧恐怖片另外特别说了国产片都要低人一等。正好我昨天看了《扬名立万》和《误杀1》。两部都是国产片，有一部是翻拍。两部都7分以上（20222.2.8豆瓣评分），而《哭泣的男人》6分（时间同上）。咱们不要拘泥于小数点后。我真心请问，国产片在演技，设计，剧本，运镜，对白，连贯性，观赏性甚至调色真的低人一等吗？我觉得没错，国产电影就是低人一等，凭什么上述两部电影7分，《哭泣的男人》6分？而我因为豆瓣5星规则我打4星，平均下来我打8分。认识到差距才能进步，我不知道国产电影有多用力，也不知道好莱坞电影多不用力。事实是：国产电影确实低人一等。求骂求草，不要吝你卑鄙的语言，来吧。
东木老了，这么大年纪还在努力拍电影，虽然未达上乘但可看性依然在
有点儿老年版完美的世界的意思 老年的更平和更温暖 也更自恋 经得起诱惑 把的住情感 既有牛仔的骄傲 也有迟暮的姿态 虽然整体上是拉夸了点 但东木还是很迷人的 那种老牛仔的气息
所有打四星以下的，我觉得都是吃屎吃多了，继续吃屎吧，还有那些分析的，我求求你别分析了。
听倔驴讲电影解说完的，生命结束前总要和什么和解~
