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.
有体面人卷入还这么困难重重，普通人家碰上这种事怎么办🤔🤔🤔
韩国人真的是太擅长拍这类的电影了。
除了结尾前十几分钟，前面的部分几乎没有什么力量。但想这样写下短评的时候突然想到这是根据真实事件改编…瞬间一阵心酸。
所以，腐败的，到底是体制、还是人本身呢？ps：配乐和节奏真的是不错！单纯就看完当下的观感体验来说，7分以下是不是给的太低了？
李先彬。死了美国人才开审。脱离管束邪恶的资本。这个郑泰浩人设真特么毁三观。后面剧情急转直下，突兀。
国内三聚氰胺……
钱权交易，人命为草芥，政府的职能是养蛀虫，既然权由人赋，为何还会官逼民反？
刚失去亲人坚决抵制涉事商家，坚持要法庭告赢时：“我不要你的臭钱！你以为你的钱就能买人命吗？他们能活过来吗？”涉事商家公布和解名单（有赔偿金）时：“怎么办，人死了我一分钱也没拿到”
演员演技都基本在线，无奈剧情太弱，完全支撑不起来，反转也无力……算是浪费了100分钟。
取材于真实事件勉强给三星，导演功底不太好，剧作方面也有挺大的问题。
题材很好，但是因为选题太大，毕竟是揭发社会丑陋现象，对抗财阀对抗政府，这内容就显得单薄了。韩国类似选题的电影很多，拍的都很精致很深刻，这个对比起来确实逊色很多。还有这个证据调查环节…好不专业..
韩国电影确实敢拍，但是要靠外国人出事才重视，还是澳大利亚政府认定危害。。哎！
拖沓，节奏也不好，但还是有些许温情打动人心。
真相浮出，可没有人愿意道歉负责，也或许他们承担不起承认自家商品有毒的后果。
后期的反转还可以，前期一点都没看出来，完全做到了让观众跟着电影跌宕起伏。
但是由于是真实事件改编，背后的问题更值得我们反思。人家连这些方面都关注到了，都在积极改变，这在某些地方真是难以想象的。
末尾的各方相继踢皮球真的很真实。每次看西八国电影的时候都在想，他们真的很敢把现实拍成电影，但是却很难改变现实......西八国电影的尽头是悲剧吧...
即便这个片子质量真的不值一提，但人家就是能拍敢拍，就这一层面来看，“值得”两个字都说累了。
6.0/10，故事发展太平了，平庸到浪费了一个好题材。
其实就是讲2011年发生的加湿器杀菌剂事件，还不如抗疫好看
