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.
真的不好笑，而且我觉得演技最好的竟然是吉米哥，可是大过年的，看这种片比打仗的好吧？
真的值四颗星。
竟然是三谷幸喜！第一次看开心麻花的电影，感觉好像确实还不错诶
魏老师是傻子？哈维是傻子？勉强能看吧
戏里戏外有互文，魏成功/魏翔都是首次出演男主角，一个演员的诞生。
和《魔幻时刻》不是一个级别的电影，身份错位这种设定在很多电影都有，但《魔幻》赢在真挚的迷影情节上，《冷静》相比起来只是一部及格线上的普通喜剧，最动人的反而是片尾魏翔眼含热泪的那段
得了吧，把三谷幸喜的本子改的这么困。后半原创部分睡着了。
主演不愧自己的名字，喂观众吃翔，这是电影吗？这就是一坨屎
哪有那么多完美结局
2.5 前半段大致按原作拍了个表面，后半段开始胡编乱造，显得混乱，也没有高潮，这让我的期待落空。看完不知道电影表达了什么，不过确实有点好笑，但这笑点不是剧本自身引发观众忍俊不禁，而是单纯靠演员的表演和台词刻意来“逗”乐观众，所以我阅后即忘，也说不出哪里搞笑了。私心来说，看着本片再想起原作的妻夫木聪、深津绘里，这落差让我笑不出来。
对得起春节档的一部片子吧，在我这儿7.5分。魏翔老师有几个镜头愣是给我感觉好像刘奕君。
难称之为一部电影，很多技巧用在零碎处，人物动机和情绪莫名其妙，很多桥段依然类似小品，你就放松来看可以，稍微认真就不经推敲。看完觉得就是一个展开但是失败版本的《喜剧之王》
魏翔看得出是憋着劲在演的 剧里剧外都是终于有机会当男一 配乐的那首粤语歌很好听 完全反应了小人物的心声
2021-09-21想看：总觉得又是大烂片，但还是为了马丽期待一下吧 11有用 2022-04-05看完：网站终于放片了，晚上边嗦螺蛳粉边看的。马丽和魏翔非常需要减肥，脸圆圆/方方的上镜真的很丑很没气场，观众缘减半。魏翔仪态很不好，显得角色又傻又猥琐。没看过原片，但看得出原剧本挺好的。仅有的几个笑点都是在马丽身上，不过真的很好笑。特效太假，磨皮不到位，有些台词很尬，小弟们特意扮丑的垃圾笑点，魏翔的表演我个人觉得过于浮夸和油腻，黄才伦和马丽还可以更好。中间有一段台词还是后配的，此处删掉一句话，无语。含腾量为零、没有屎屁尿和过分煽情还是有进步的。希望开心麻花拍出更用心的作品。
魏老师是傻子？哈维是傻子？勉强能看吧
看完谁不说一句魏翔值得！
国内编剧不是号称进口片没有看的必要么 所以这就赶着翻拍了？（反正觉得大众也不会看国外的电影是吗
致敬了许多经典电影，这导演一看就是老影迷了，迷影人狂喜
本魔幻时刻影迷觉得还是比较满足的，拍成这样足够了，最经典的段子都在，还加了很多对影史名作的致敬。希望把马丽换个人，但想想能有这样喜剧节奏的女演员里，可能还就马丽能好看点。只能说三谷的本子太强了。7分还能往上吧，期待落在7.5。
我代表电影这门艺术求求你们别拍了，行不行！
