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.
一个混着John Wick味道的中式武侠，喝了人家一坛酒就得还人家一个公道。网大受限于成本但非常聪明的选择了小场景+灯光的设计，几场打斗谢苗武打的基础可以保证凌厉。导演是之前《奇门遁甲》的编剧，有几场拷打的戏还挺有尺度的，没想到网大能到如此质感，短小精悍足以让一众玩票的院线片汗颜。
装什么侠呢。
用短短74分钟，来讲述一名剑客行侠仗义的心路，作为网大电影可圈可点。故事线清晰，没那么多累赘的细枝末节，演员表演的真诚和认真度还蛮感动人的。尤其是谢苗演的成瞎子，放到武侠连续剧里也会是令人印象深刻的角色。另外电影的场面做得很好，尤其是武打戏部分的打斗场面，以及几个大场景的武打戏的调度，很有大片范儿。这部电影可算作国产网大在武侠片里的一次很好的探索了。
故事简单了点，但是贵在打斗精彩，行云流水，一气呵成！
PS2：做对的事有时候不需要理由，仅仅因为它是对的！
下次选题材别这么老套了，多给一星支持地方电影。
就是配音和打击音效可以再加强，如果能院线上映就好了。能做到以上这些就不错了，尤其是现在这个市场，那么多人喜欢看屎那么多人喜欢拍屎，看到碗粥确实可能接受不了。
故事简洁，镜头语言不错。虽然不是武侠爱好者，但是很喜欢其中的画面。尤其是雪夜一人一马，世界黑白分明。
这片是有人打了招呼还是咋的，打个二星还发不出广播了？
主线剧情不算突出，但细节很用心。家长里短的打闹更是满满乐趣。最喜欢看的还是两个阿嫲的互相挤兑。
这么离谱的潮汕传统。。。戳到眼泪了……一直在哭………………
特别棒的一部地方特色电影。很喜欢这种大量方言的影片。。
作为武侠网大能拍成这样很不错了，画面和动作甚至不输院线，人物刻画不多也已足够特色。网大所限时长可惜，要是能加点戏（比如琴娘的打戏）加个反转凑满100分钟，就是五星评价了。
郭将军是郭子仪吧。
以血还血，以暴制暴，这气场放在好莱坞只有丹泽尔华盛顿能把持住。
视听上皆有不足，只能给四星。
这个结局其实不咋现实，但其实也不无可能，我爸就娶了个江西老婆，以至于我从小没少被叫“外省仔”。
作为一部武侠网大，真的是超出预期的小惊喜，利落、冷峻、有品，整个故事的气质有点像小椴的《长安客》，也是一种“石火光中寄此身”和“请从绝处逢侠气”，完全不拖沓、不煽情，台词克制，没什么废话，动作场景非常漂亮，审美也是非常典型的、童年时期记忆中的武侠片的审美。故事不复杂，但口子开得小，完成度非常高。谢苗是惊喜。
现在中国内娱这个空中粪坑，任何不屎的作品都值得五星。我欠这片子六块钱。
名字完美...一语双关 整体说故事逻辑性缺陷明显...但是画面及动作戏确实非常完美 很多构图完全就是可以用来做壁纸...
