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.
前一小时纯属铺垫，后面开始精彩。按这个程度应该还有续集可以拍。
停在律政片最佳 多了些政治批判也还好 但最后还是免不了印度式复仇的套路的俗
最后的合影破防了但忍不住思考：一个有情感的机器人和狗谁应该享有更多priority？让有情感的机器人牺牲自己保护狗是不是一种不人道主义行为？
前面和中间都还可以，结尾太假了，幼儿园老师来帮调节这种国民级案件？？反方根本不会给你这种机会，其次证据也太假了，全靠一面之词。
非我等动动笔杆、喊喊口号的“理论家”所能企及
3.5 汉克斯的表演至少将本片的高度拉了一层。最后演绎的真是太悲伤了。
可以看出想表达的很多就是觉得节奏可以改改，前面铺垫好长最后十几分钟好赶
★★★☆ 情绪电影。虽然在当前环境中起不到什么决定性作用，但能发声去表达总是好事。
但至少 是个开始吧
反转还是可以的，就是慢镜头和配乐太抒情了，导致后面的反转风格不搭。
一碗丰盛的麻辣烫，有女性议题，政治议题，媒体议题……警察冲动杀人确实一开始就不可信，果然反转了，律师那么神能弄明白事件全过程也不可信，后面也圆回来了，除了结尾有点理想主义喊口号，前面都很好，政治🟰黑暗，在哪个国家都是一样的，至少印度端出来这么一碗诚意满满的麻辣烫（不输韩国）而且，画面还蛮干净，真的是第一次见到……
一开始以为只是一个简单的奸杀案，而后牵引出大学的体制问题，然后又能上升到政治的阴谋，确实很赞的剧情，可惜的是结果只是打了通电话放了几句狠话，并未见实质性的惩罚
个人觉得不够四分。开局还不错，大学校长讲话后我以为会是个性别歧视的片子。结果导演想要囊括的问题太多了，没有重点铺的太开，个人觉得比较失败。
明明Jeff没有任何表情，但我好像能读懂他所有的情绪，这个穿着派克大衣的机器人的可爱程度堪比WALL.E，不分伯仲
一开始就故作紧张的音乐也吸引不了人看下去。
好几个反转，真相、政治、法律、人心，谁代表正义？正义是否得到伸张？期待续集
内容有惊喜。开始以为是简单的除暴安良、争取女权，后来又开始宣传司法程序的正义，接着又说政客和愚民、舆论操控，最后又来以暴制暴、我要复仇。内容比较多，值得一看。缺点是故事主角不断切换，不怎么连贯。
学会做减法是印度电影百尺竿头更进一步的最大难关。
脱开电影说一句题外话，如果毕志飞还想继续拍摄多主角电影，可以来这部电影里面取经。
鉴于当下好莱坞编剧导演集体大脑崩坏的现状，拍这种剧情简单舒缓温馨的影片是个不错的选择，不会过多暴露复杂剧本压力下编剧导演的无能，也不用顾忌太多电影外的因素，全片基本就一个人类演员，不用担心被指责没有女金刚没有黑人涉嫌骑士，能让人三心二意的把两个小时的电影看下去还有点儿小感动，不反智不喂屎，这已经知足了。
