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.
黄政民自己演自己，演的真像啊→_→沉醉着迷了
算是达到及格线的商业片，但还是不建议演员在虚构作品中过度消耗自己的真实形象。初衷可能是为了追求真实感，但剧本上来说肯定会顾虑到角色反过来对真实人物的影响，不可能无偏颇地演绎人在极端困境下的反应和承受能力，所以就会牺牲掉故事，出现这个当人质也战斗力爆表的黄政民。
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。
朴成雄挺可爱的哈哈哈哈哈，黄和朴演自己的设定挺有意思的～
翻拍的没有原版好，绑匪演员没有王千源那么狠。
离谱，浪费黄政民。韩国人觉得拯救吾先生值得翻拍是因为被绑架的是刘德华吗。反派角色也太烂了。
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。
黄政民完全没有什么表演，所以是导演还是剧本的错。结尾的The Passenger亮了
我觉得蛮好的，人在求生的时候本能做出来事是真实的，也不是武打明星，也没有打的漂亮，很喜欢
这部改编的很韩国，和原作两个风格，韩国这部增加很多戏剧性的清洁，个人觉得应该区别对待，他们已经不是一种类型的电影了，国内的偏纪实。摄影灯光是这部电影的优势，说白的就是花钱多，演员的造型感也很强，挺不错的。
比不过国产原版，韩影恒久不变的定律=韩国警察都是猪
比解救吾先生略高明在发挥了演员的优势
让黄政民饰演自己效果不好，影片完全把黄政民圣人化，在战神丁青附体的情况下，又没有杀死任何一个人。对底层人的刻板描写，对上层人高大全形象的塑造，完全恶臭。
片名改了之后连故事的侧重点都改了 解救人质变成了绑匪窝里斗 最后还是自救的 不是警匪片了
拯救黄先生但是各种bug，丢枪什么的，各种疯有点失真了&小姐姐好看
一次没有意思的翻拍，既不及中国原作，也未能改编出新的花样，依旧是韩国动作电影那些老套、陈旧的内容元素，人物角色越到后半段便崩得越彻底。两星。
韩国电影告诉我们，韩国的警察都是废物，都用上炸弹了，整部影片居然没有一个警察开过一枪，真是神奇啊，就黄政民的演技值三星
没有《解救吾先生》情节紧凑刺激。就是借了一个明星被绑架的点子重新创作了一部电影
吴若甫看完了都说好，6.1分？打低分的人都是狗吗？
一般都是国内翻拍拍不好韩国的，这次反过来了！情节到演技都是国内版本完胜
