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.
网大身份的电影，制作还是比较细腻的，整体结构、叙事方式都不错呀，结局符合预期。
呸，时代的疤是真没看出来。奇怪的漏洞好多，前半部分有一股浓烈的密室逃脱推理的味道，时代质感也是完全感受不到。但是我喜欢永远在下雨的天气，铺满台阶的落叶，以及严华跑出楼来拍照，那是一个可以闻到空气的镜头
6.9 光影到不错，但是缺少灰尘，哪怕是上海来的带一条颜色那么鲜艳的领带也是很突兀。而且居中每个人穿衣服都很有层次感，这是比较失败的地方。结尾又臭又长。主角也从一开始想成为破案刑警成长到明白画像刑警也是刑警组成的重要部分。总感觉那个小徒弟有点问题。
（画面真的很好看）
远去的淡影展现在画像师的笔下，迷离的案件也变的清晰了。
看的时候感觉有点好玩，这些演员都有其他大牌的影子：
时代是因，命案是果，重心却落在了友情之上。时代沦为故事成立的舞台，命案成为情节推进的道具，这段情感偏又虚浮无比，最终在尴尬反转中平淡了之。
质感不错，剧情有些bug吧，当年为什么不报警，反而做冒名顶替的事？17年后发现照相馆老板就是凶手，为什么又不报警，而选择在黑市买枪报仇？？
鼓励导演，拍出了自己的感觉，还是挺有水准很下功夫的片子
气氛相当可以。演员到位出色。架构略有遗憾。
画面很好看，故事内容不能过于仔细想，会有点欠缺。总体蛮好的
画面感五分，剧情两分。想告诉导演，别管想走文艺路线还是什么，最基本的是要把一个故事先讲好。
给低分的评论我看了，基本就围绕“叙事不清晰不合理”上，好像他们个个是公安系统里的老司机。我想这演员要都换成洋人，估计那些给差评的人就个个叫好了。
雾气萦绕的小地方，山是朦胧的，人是朦胧的，故事也是朦胧的，只有美和遗憾是真实的
◎很意外，一部没有顶流参与，没什么宣发，节奏缓慢，近似文艺片的悬疑作品，却让人眼前一亮！是种久违了的感觉，那种深深的悬疑外衣下对人性关怀，对时代的关照，对梦想执着，对他人付出，已经很久没有在作品里看到了！ ◎作为一部悬疑题材作品，他有其独特的气质，也是一部摄影绝佳，表演都带着呼吸节奏的作品，需要静下心来慢慢品味，是在短视频或者某某讲电影里没办法说清道明的……也恭喜电影入围第36届法国卡布尔电影节特别展映单元！期待能大放异彩！
太刻意了，从故事到选角，整个电影设计感太明显且突兀，问题是还有很多讲不清楚的地方想要通过摄影掩盖，得亏是网大，要是上院线问题就暴露无遗了
画面构图确实漂亮，九十年代末的场景道具服装还原度很高，故事从警察队伍的画像师角度娓娓道来，值得一看！
有点像杀人回忆，光影效果突出的好，把芭蕾舞演员们拍的如梦似幻，但剧本不精彩，节奏也墨迹，本来能往深里讲讲美丽的幻灭的，结果浅尝辄止，就一般吧。
一部网大，两个小时，没有一名大牌演员，但是画面质感、演员表演尺度、叙事节奏都很好，剧情不复杂，比较容易推理出来，但是比较合理。真的是出乎意料，五星鼓励。
我最后还是没懂林音怎么死的，严华又怎么毁容的。
