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.
时装动作片对路了。谢苗还是适合的。别老是古装玄幻武打了。剧情够黑不够残。毕竟国内吗。警察的楞劲能过审不高大上已经不错了。反派也行，动作设计合格了。而且东北味的黑社会风格，太对路了
简单的故事，节奏紧凑，打斗还比较精彩，领导应该拿他挺头疼，厉害，但是个人英雄主义不搞团队合作，得天天惹事
开局哪里很东北。
整个片子特别像网剧里三集合成一集的感觉，然后独立成一个小故事。
唯一遗憾的就是真的感觉不够看，这个故事很完整，完全可以以网剧形式出的更长一些。
节奏快，剧情直接。
谢苗可以啊，这警察演得还有点严良的味道，多拍点阿不过瘾
这还要啥自行车啊？我觉得就这么点成本已经相当用心了，我觉得五星是值得的，可以看出来是用心的，没糊弄观众，演员也相当卖力，真心不错
谢苗啊谢苗，真为他抱不平，这么好的演技和功夫现在却始终在网大打转。
但鉴于这个片没有一流的东西（可能也没有二流），还是给一颗星。
谢苗近期片子有点频繁，但是不得不说并不差，中国式的个人英雄主义类型，能打，做到人狠话不多
真心不错，就是故事太短了，不够深刻，动作戏不错，值得鼓励的
质感不错的网大，四星鼓励。缺点是老三还是太弱了可能限于篇幅没往细里刻画吧。
拳拳到肉的感觉是真的爽，这不是一部全部精华只局限于短视频的电影，虽说故事结构简单，接地气，但是真的精彩，剧情紧凑不拖沓，完全不觉得无趣。
谢苗这部动作片可以的，男主见老丈人短视频看到的
本来是随便看看的，没想到还挺好看的，拍的很实在，演的也满自然的，剧情可能受限于网大没办法展开，但总体还满不错的。
相当不错，虽然谢苗一直在拍网络电影，但是大部分都很用心，个别电影还拍的还非常优秀。给我们说明一个道理：哪怕你没有最好的资源，也不妨碍你的认真和努力！
这还要啥自行车啊？我觉得就这么点成本已经相当用心了，我觉得五星是值得的，可以看出来是用心的，没糊弄观众，演员也相当卖力，真心不错
小成本国产佳片，网络大电影中属于顶尖，有点意思！演员演技在线，武戏实在，拳拳到肉，绝对的专业！希望团队多出这样的片
一部小成本国产网络电影，结构紧凑，短小精悍，紧张刺激；虽然该片剧情略显单薄，也有说不通的地方，但是那拳拳到肉的武打动作场面，个人认为与国外大片相比也有的一拼，一部国产网络电影能拍出这样的效果是非常不错了，本想给三星，最终决定鼓励多加一星，四星评价，实至名归！
