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.
三颗星给美术，演员的台词和不连贯的打戏扣掉一枚星
流畅，动作和剧情都够流畅，希望这是好的开始，送两颗星鼓励一下
整部片有动作武侠片的感觉，泪流满面，近几年太少见了，三星半升四星，鼓励一下
国外的无脑快节奏爽片Johnwick和慢节奏爽片座头市都各成体系 本片节奏介于两者之间 小屏幕动作片新典范
服装，建筑，还有部分动作道具有点日化，差评。
微博朋友圈刷屏了好久，今天终于看了，质量确实不错！
一点也不像一个完整的作品，像面试的时候在portfolio里显示的一个sample。打斗戏都很好看，故事逻辑也非常简单。但是挺好看的，我觉得刀马的扮演者有了！
场面效果还可以。盲侠，应该先翻拍座头市，学习北野武的故事和情节的处理，音乐灯光等的配合，再考虑场面的国产化。
电影很简单，动作设计还不错，谢苗 表现很有进步，还是有潜力可挖，能打破模样的定型，多一颗星给谢苗
瞧瞧，什么叫电影，故事简单不简单？太简单了。俗套不俗套？太俗套了。
皑皑雪地杀人时，烈酒一刀成焰的设计不错。
情节简单直接，动作戏还比较干脆利落，除了泡沫大雪花让人出戏之外整体有种八九十年代港片武侠的风味，当然也有不少座头市的影子。片尾音乐大赞！
谢苗也挺有意思的，童星起点那么高，后面大电影里却起不来，但这几部网大一看，又确实比其他强太多
《绣春刀》在致敬《浪客剑心》，而这部电影则在致敬《绣春刀》，虽然剧情就是简单的复仇故事，但场景和打戏部分都很棒，在最近两年里算是很不错的武侠片了，三星半
你别说，这部网络电影拍出了好久没嗅到的武侠味，可惜剧情和结构太简单了，人物处理也是敷衍了事
从配音、视听、打光、剪辑和表演，全方位，360度给你展示一部3分网大的水准……搞笑就搞笑在我吃饭前还在复习《杀人回忆》，吃完饭就开始看这种水准的片子，真是不怕不识货，就怕货比货
一愿谢苗早日大火，二愿武侠重回巅峰，三愿中国再无倭风，四愿以倭代华以次充好妄图断我中华文明顶替之的倭人不得好死。
不多见的古装武侠片，竟然还真拍出了电影的质感，变态宇文英演的不错，女演员也靓
不过这个“盲侠”的IP，感觉做成系列剧很不错啊，每一集（季）一个故事，以类似说书人的视角娓娓道来，一个侠义之士的传奇。
有点像是中国版座头市，一个瞎子剑客复仇的故事。不过做了一些本土化的剧情设置，显得不那么日式，武打场面还行，没有以前港片的行云流水，但是动作还是好看的。整个故事就是很短的一个套路，前因后果都讲明白了，人物出身也介绍了，或许是打算出续作？
