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.
翻拍国内的《解救吾先生》，黄政民这次自己演自己，绝了。
黄影帝请少接烂片。2021-10-5 02:04:19
黄政民你知道吗？要是你不乱丢枪有枪不用，这个片子能早半个小时演完。
黄政民只是作为演员演了一出主角也叫黄政民的戏仅此而已。
黄政民演自己不太可，我给他出个主意，不如下次演刘德华。
最后一幕看的我也想蓄胡了
解救吾先生的本子在韩国人的鬼斧神工下被改的充满了戏剧性和荒谬感，当我看到咬舌自尽这种桥段真实的出现在荧幕上的时候就知道这部片子好不到哪里去。唯一值得称赞的，就是黄政民的演技，即使在那么浮夸的本子下也值得说道。
看了这么多韩国电影，感觉韩国警察在韩国民众心里的印象应该跟国足在国人心中的印象差不多吧。
韩国🇰🇷警察👮被抢匪牵着鼻子走
已然是另一部作品了。让我更觉得奇妙的是，在最后男主躺在地上钳住对手，即将要掐死他的那一瞬间。望向天空的眼神里，他把自己当作是一个角色黄政民，还是演员黄政民，还是黄政民自己呢？
那些人可是罪犯啊！！！你们可是带枪的警察啊！！！打斗跟玩儿一样
为啥那个女警察不给劫匪一枪啊……等啥呢……
女绑匪的C杯让我印象深刻…胸型真好看，我女的都多看了好几眼。整体只抄了个皮毛。
一看导演就是新手，就连豆瓣上都没有他的照片，新手能做的就是扒既有的韩式电影桥段，原作中的那点玩弄小趣味的精髓没有学习到。围绕黄政民的巨星身份和演艺圈的段子没有尽情施展，十分遗憾，不过影片为了让影片靠近一种所谓的“真实”，除了黄政民和客串的朴圣雄外，其他演员都是路人脸，但是他们的魅力发挥也有限。
之所以看这部电影，就是冲着黄政民来的，但是稍微有点失望。这些绑架犯有点太傻了，犯的错误太多。这就导致剧情稍弱，不够吸引人。
镜头很真实，跑半天跑不掉也很揪心，躲着以为安全了，结果又被抓住，蚌埠住了～
热评说黄政民能背朴成雄的电话号码真的，笑死我了，cp锤了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
2.5
就这片这么多打3星的？我觉得因为黄政民可以给1星，不然这个片必须0分，韩国电影万年不变的日常黑警察，呵呵
在华语片范畴，我们看到很多电影把“刘德华”这个人和他所代表的形象，用得不错，这片子往小里说就有些浪费了“黄政民”。
