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.
B站看的剪辑，感觉女主像小枫
完成度還行，前提是如果可以接受島國［座头市］那种盲俠風，那謝苗瞎子以一敵百也无不可；只要劇情設定凝造出緊張气氛，謝苗為弱女出刀，一人干翻壞蛋惡人集團，快意恩仇，事了拂衣去，不留功與名~～不須要多餘劇情，只表達到這种意境，觀眾有代入感，那此片合格有餘了~～
瞎子去陌生地方挑场子，一个跟头扎人堆了，真猛士也
近几年少见的优秀武侠片，可惜限于制作投入，整体感觉浅尝即止。
谢苗好像一直都没变。有些仓促，但近年属于不错了。
挺有想法的一部电影 算是物尽其用了 如果可以拍个系列片也不是不可以 可能是没有太多的钱 但是市场应该是有的 期待一下
原来 浪客剑心 里的志志雄 是学的瞎子啊：）
这就是翻拍座头市，虽然质感还不错，但其实还是打斗过于复杂繁琐，你仔细去看座头市电影，魅力即在于剑戟的轻易不出手，出手必伤人。可以将打斗拆解得更行云流水，更决绝一点，不要搞跟谁都得过几招才能击杀，现在看，这样就太不武侠了，也太不科学。
3.5质感很好，但故事有点说不过去，人物说话做事都有点“装”不过在武侠文化逐渐凋敝的今日，有这么一部片子，真的蛮难得的。
故事简单，讲的就是一个沧桑的刀客路见不平了一次，然后拔刀相助，最后与姑娘告别。没有缠绵悱恻的爱情，只有一腔孤勇的侠义。其实，真正的侠客应该是这样有所为有所不为的。
一点也不像一个完整的作品，像面试的时候在portfolio里显示的一个sample。打斗戏都很好看，故事逻辑也非常简单。但是挺好看的，我觉得刀马的扮演者有了！
BGM也不错特别是片尾
4“目中虽无人，但心里有公道”，又可解释为“因为心有公道，所以才敢于挑战权贵”，尽显主角的侠气与傲骨。凭借手中刀，讨一个公道。
武打爽片，动作行云流水，一点都不拖沓，剧情上稍显简单。最新换这种主角是一直都很强的模式，而不像其他电影的一些俗套，主角又强变弱再变强。
好久没看到这么酣畅淋漓的武侠片了。即便剧情线短，演绎得好反倒给人浓缩精华的感觉
事了拂衣去，深藏功与名。 杀一个人要偿命，杀一万个就不用了。
非常一般，日本电影痕迹太重，动作设计平淡无奇
剧情非常老套 打斗场面不够大 属于小打小闹 让人看的不过瘾。。。
编剧仿佛在写汇报材料，凑够了要素就开拍/慢镜和柔焦以及快把我也晃瞎的强光是在拍mv吗😂/刀背藏身你知道我在想你吗😢
另外替李云龙带个话：程瞎子我告诉你，当年老子教你怎么打枪，现在就教你怎么用刀。
