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.
+，确实弱在群像刻画了，次要角色的形象甚至弱到需要在片尾写出来他们后来怎么样了。
就如一场轰轰烈烈的史诗!我看过这种影片，就是会激动，就是想给五星!
四字的表情太到位了
打着现实主义的童话都是对现实里受苦的人的二次伤害。
个人觉得是今年最好看的国产电影，作为一部历史战争片，从一个普通家庭的一对兄弟开始，见民族见战争见国家，整体的基调定对了以后，剧情也比较流畅，新老演员演的都不错，几个主要人物都形象鲜明，真金白银的钱砸进去了，大场面随处可见，飞机坦克爆炸枪战肉搏应有尽有，三个小时的电影几乎没有冷场的戏份。
四星给叙述故事的能力和演员的能力，不能给五星是因为这种普通人的成功实在太偶然，大部分时候还是“蝼蚁”。
是好看的电影，但是也太惨了，20岁的人呀，咬着牙生活
担当，责任，不韧的精神支撑着人一步一步地踏平生活的荆棘。易烊千玺，电影角色给人一种无穷的魅力，这种耀眼的光芒是人格魅力。
很热血，但缺少最触动人心的，最真实的冰冻给志愿军带来的伤亡呈现
空间叙事+好莱坞情节剧，其实也是新群居电影。
3.5 我们都知道后半段几无可能发生在普通人身上
哥哥一直在想办法与命运斗争
前几天在听凤凰大视野的时候就想全连士兵冻僵在伏击现场这么悲壮的场面拍成电影一定很震撼，没想到真的要拍成电影了，不知道有没有这一段
先不论其他问题，作为一部底层小人物的传记片完成度还是挺高的。小人物努力勤奋运气好再加政策好走向成功，挺正能量主旋律的
那个租厂房的大爷说谁没难处 那个房东把他们的锁换了的时候我觉得真的好冷血好现实 景浩的天赋勇气头脑和坚毅 换来了他妹妹的命 他的未来 但不是所有人都这么幸运 但是所有努力的人都值得
20年了，没想到我还是为胡军哭得撕心裂肺地……祝老戏骨多接好本子，多演好角色～以及动作戏真香，好久没看到这么爽快的打戏了
很多细节满分，电影节奏，90分
前面大半部分节奏和叙事感都不错，能够快速引人进入那冰天雪地的艰苦场景，也能看到角色的成长，后面煽情略微过了。每次看完战争的残酷，就会更觉得生活美好。
其实想给3.5也就是7.0，画面叙事调度技术纯熟，感觉像是扒了一个当幸福来敲门，流畅，任务片拍成这样可以了。
一大早看完电影现在准备吃团圆饭，感觉我们每一个努力拼搏过的笨小孩都好幸福啊
