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.
国产的能拍成这样还是很不错的，需要鼓励一下
被海报吸引然后看口碑还不错就看了，第一部正经看的网大。既然是网大太较真也没必要，动作戏还行，就是“大卫”这名字未免太出戏了吧。
东邪西毒+绣春刀
十步留一人，千里不留行
剧情是真的烂到出奇，打戏和质感竟然有一点点点港片的味道。
意外竟然勉强能看，不算太烂。打斗动作场面是最能拿得出手的东西，一招一式，有板有眼，又不失没感。更让人惊喜的是，主角在教授刀术时，没有胡说八道，反而是很在理的东西。不好的地方当属剧情了，单薄，老套。根本给予不了人有趣的感受，更不会有情感上的触动。我不禁想问下，十年都能忍住对她出手，最后强上是要闹哪样？
小成本武侠电影能拍到这个程度真的很不错了。虽然借鉴了很多风格，有点杂糅，但是整体武侠片的气质还是完整呈现出来了。值得花时间一看。
两星是给到坟头对刀，后面一塌糊涂人物性格刻画鲜明，但十年了一点变化没有？中期后剧情单调，枯燥，不过好歹比一些其他鬼怪好
勉强能看，把拍电视剧的温慢放到电影里，太拖沓。还好不脑残...
有大漠的粗犷，有刀客的英雄气概，也有人性的丑恶，电影🎬有些细节处理的不太连贯和符合逻辑，在把细节多打磨一下会更好！
西部动作片氛围拉满，但论剧情不值四分，男主角的女人单枪匹马去红木城打探情报这还不算是赤裸裸的送人头？反派阵营里那个快枪手长得蛮帅但放冷枪真的败好感，人之将死其言也善大坏蛋该死但也是个可怜人
剧情是真的烂到出奇，打戏和质感竟然有一点点点港片的味道。
“都说了让你等等，还往前走。”
女儿比妈妈还老的感觉是什么样子。这个电影打斗的场景很真实，很刺激，剧情比较单一，通俗易懂。
比网大质量好，但也有很多效仿痕迹，前三十分钟叙事密度流畅度不错，后面剧本力度上不太行。
作为一部低成本国产武侠片，做成这样已经很不错了
布景，动作都是挺好，但是剧本太烂，boss不设定为陷害主角的兄弟，却设定为高满堂，结果结局又直接被捅了，真的。。。千人斩作为终极boss真的太没有说服力，没有核心反派，让人没法热血。
武侠片已经成为历史了，扶不起来啦。不建议看，最多三星。
动作设计有新意，镜头设计也有可取之处，虽然故事确实是拉胯了，但也不至于连个及格分也没有吧……
有不完美的地方，但是至少把该讲的故事给讲好了，比起那些连基本故事都讲不好的片子就强了一大截，整体剧本还行，动作戏很不错，人物塑造也不错，没有明显的缺点，4分肯定有，勉强可以上5分。一个好片子的标准其实并不高深，就是讲好一个故事。
