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.

不管怎么说，还看得下去，逻辑有些地方不太符合常理，但是不耽误看懂，本来也很简单的剧情。要是毛毛和女老师能有点感情戏就好了。
宋晓峰大长脸给力，男主长得跟土拨鼠似的，演员表里写四哥，我特么以为赵四呢，结果那个人就叫四哥！
相当不错了，节奏变化有点固化，但是刑满释放人员这一特殊群体，丧葬业这一特殊行业，加上偶然又自然的特殊幽默点，很是不赖的作品了，加油吧佳哥
爆米花东北喜剧 到后半段节奏太慢 剧情拖沓了 整体及格
葬礼冲突转的太硬
太差了，别拍电影了行吗，侮辱了电影这两个字。
挺好玩的小品，也没啥硬伤，唯一的就是剧情弱了一些，演员功力都还行，包袱也挺好玩的，配角也挺出彩的，作为一部娱乐片来说，挺好玩的，我喜欢，加油加油！
笑点满满，又不只有笑点的电影。东北喜剧人半壁江山都来了~！崔志佳，导演真不赖
如果单纯的圆满结局以及强行感动就是喜剧的话，那级别实在是太低了
拍得很不错！真的太好笑了 演员选的好 题材好 反转也不错 梗也真的很好笑！推荐
笑点不断啊，虽然后半段垮了不少，整体也值得给票
另外大潘咋没客串个角色呢，可惜！
觉得不差 佳佳的作品 比想象中好太多 想起很多年以前 在寝室 看爱笑会议室的光景 那份快乐 真他妈逗 未来一定好！
比上一部可好多了！佳佳加油啊！手下几个哥都有点帅
#BJIFF2021主竞赛单元#中国美术学院作品，美术实在了得。同《影》一样的水墨化色彩，解决了《影》里脸部发绿的问题，这种去饱和的色彩还挺符合战争题材。剧作方面还是散了点，导致影片内涵很浅，如此拍电影，讲故事似乎成了一件形式主义的事情。
“每个人都有选择的权利——才是理想的真谛。”
从画面构成的形式上超脱出了主旋律，但是内容还是与新主流无异，叙事上也特意的弱化了戏剧冲突，叙事节奏很慢、戏剧安排较散，但是叙事的几场重头戏全放在了刻意煽情的部分，有点四不像。挺喜欢这种黑白画面中国水墨的摄影风格，但是内容上刻意的回避主流叙事又不想脱离大众审美趣味，就很怪。总体来说有突破有不足，大众接受度不高的同时艺术上也没有做到极致。
很好的题材，像一个带着经历的故事，也像一个爱电影人的梦
四人丧葬队，low到爆。告别天团，不明觉厉。天团F4几次同框亮相都很有范。“这包子，咋没昨天的好吃了呢？怎么了？你这馅味不太对啊，照昨天差远了！不能啊，这就是昨天的！”笑点挺多，值得推荐！
