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.
其实挺好的 挺东北 打戏很不错 只是一集电影太短 没剧情了 真的适合拍剧集
什么老板，村长，厂长，淞北一哥这么多有钱有势的黑社会被几个小混混给拿捏了，不过片子还是很不错，节奏很快，谢苗太帅了
有好多打戏好没必要 但是去除了打戏又什么都不剩了
3.衣云鹤演反派不像
没明白肖家这三个兄弟是怎么有勇气冲到一帮混黑白两道老板的饭局去的，也不明白这帮老板是怎么愿意咽下这口气的。还有留学回国这哥们儿，从出场开始就在立高智商犯罪人设了，可看上去实在太装x了，换我就第一个揍他。
谢苗的动作戏还是不错的，虽然剧本差的不是一点半点，打斗戏加分了。
就看谢苗打坏蛋，动作扎实，拳拳到肉，看着都疼
动作演员不容易...特别是看了龙虎武师以后很感慨...谢苗也不容易...这么多年了...也没大火...挺期待他和李连杰同框的...
出乎意料挺好看，没那么多说教的旁白，故事讲完，深意自己个琢磨去，是不错的王大。
主演谢苗我get了，以后会关注的，他适合更好的片子。非常不错。
3.衣云鹤演反派不像
如果龙叔是国际警察在国际大都市破获国际大案的警察故事，那谢苗就是县城警察在县城打击县城无赖流氓的警察故事。故事细节很真实，非常接地气。支持一下。
剧情过于简单，打戏值三星。谢苗可以啊，希望可以火。
警察开枪打腿梦回无间道。
开头谢苗的打戏，虽然开胃菜，但也秒了许多一线水演员，剧情问题不大，五星鼓励
本来想给一星的，看到最后的花絮还挺有意思的，给2星鼓励一下
哎 就尼玛.....延边三兄弟都比你们哥三有脑子
3.5挺有意思的，国产野兽刑警。都还不错。
能看出来，谢苗很努力的想演好，事实证明，演的也确实不错，除了有点耍帅，其他方面都合格。
标准的警匪爽片。 很多的是想说，武打功夫片现在华语市场基本青黄不接，甄子丹退了之后，张晋，赵文卓这些都没有接起来，如果谢苗有想法其实可以考虑下，朝这个方向发展，当年他听了周润发的建议回去读书这个建议。现在来看不知道是否正确，当时投身拍戏，现在有可能是一代打星了。
