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.
让我想起研究生写论文的时候，导师说，千万别把研究方向整太大，不然很难完成很难毕业。这片子就是，局限在一个很小的场景，很小的故事，要在一部电影的时间细细琢磨，拍出亮点，毕竟他是张艺谋，还不能砸了招牌
中小成本，镜头讲究，没弱化对手，至于煽情，中段部分的配乐太满了，结尾反而觉得很合理，也能打动我。
看出了导演的一片苦心，想客观的展示双方，展示真实的战争。但是总觉得有那么一点假，情节还有台词，还有表演。就是没那么真实，没那么能打动人。
也很喜欢电影里对敌军的处理 本来以为会描写他们内乱 自乱阵脚 但没有 就算是反派也是在关键时刻压抑得住情绪 保持理智的 双方是势均力敌的 结局也并非压倒性胜利 甚至可以说是险胜 这样的设置下 双方交战的紧张气氛更浓郁 我方的优势劣势更清晰地突显
彼时金一代估计是受了暹法战争结果的刺激，接收了老斯基打赏的2个团的T-34就悍然激情勃发，犹如耗子腰里别了把枪起了打猫的心思，然而最终苏俄却成了最大的赢家，东亚格局未再改变......人民英雄永垂不朽+1星。
个人张艺谋十年最佳。煽情稍微有点狠，但最终基本上都起效果了。
这不是战争片，是煽情片，就不能煽的含蓄点嘛。
还是有点点为了剧情效果，比如美军喝东西被打中；坦克没子弹…
张艺谋牛逼！！！一个半小时的电影，节奏掌握的太好了！！！狠狠给我冲！！！
雄赳赳
看着围着白披风的志愿军战士，冷不防的总想起那兔来，造型太像了。人物不多，场面不大，基本上就是通过猝不及防的冷枪来推进整个故事。一开始我真的不理解，为什么要为了一个半死不活的人搭进去那么多条人命，后来才知道这不光是为了一个战友，更重要的是为了情报，为的是不让更多的人牺牲。小男主的成长是通过整个班的牺牲换来的，而这惨重的代价促使他成为下一个刘文武。曹操几十年来逐渐的变成老百姓喜闻乐见的外国演员专业户。演员基本都是无名的，其实也跟故事一样，我们的胜利是一大群无名的战士换来的。
对张艺谋本来并无好感，无论前面好坏。但狙击手紧凑，场面虽小气节全胜，逻辑清晰，真的是我喜欢的样子。
一个非常小的故事却拍的很细腻，从头到尾都是剧情，基本没有任何铺垫。战士一个个牺牲的时候真是泪流不止，五班精神永不倒
3星半。今年春年档“最佳”空缺。1.把如此短小的剧本安排的如此丰富，编剧挺厉害。2.男主角“哭包”的设定很“有趣”，让人物变得很鲜活又不浮夸。3.电影里其实有很多轻松甚至让人发笑的段落，比如美国人说中文，这样的安排在90分钟左右的电影还能不抢走影片“悲壮”的主调，挺难得。4.主战场双方对决的战斗段落里方向感不是特别清晰易懂。5.年轻演员表现都蛮好的，国师还是蛮会挑选璞玉的。6.印象最深的一句台词，哭包哭着说：“我们就一个望远镜，鬼子啥都有。”
3.5 章宇真不错 2022/3/23@中影
小哭包真的哭了全场，从采访开始就觉得亮眼，原来是主角。
不愧是老谋子！！！就是说枪战片都拍的和普通人的不一样
雪景用得比悬崖之上的时候好一点。“最冷的枪”绝对是个更好的片名。
现实更精彩，张桃芳没受过伤
还是有点点为了剧情效果，比如美军喝东西被打中；坦克没子弹…
