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.
前半段叙事非常强，后半段又过渡煽情，看完反而有些显假。
7.3分，前面不错，有泪点有笑点，但是深夜车站追击戏大可不必，结尾更是一塌糊涂，还不如结尾到电梯里那场戏呢，不过优点也有，许多细节不错，剧情是老套没什么新意的鸡汤片，但是四字的演技肉眼可见的强了，不是四字粉但是因为有四字女友粉的好朋友，我真的也几乎是一路陪着她看了不少四字，确实是越来越好，希望四字加油，演员们都演技在线
小时候电影看故事，现在看镜头语言。故事虽然是老套路，但是人物塑造，镜头语言都特别好，真的很舒服。电影的很多细节都值得回味。故事内核不如醒狮少年深，但镜头和演绎的都很舒坦。真棒👍
一份作业，导演的水平也就这样，bgm太多了
虽然有些时候总感觉电影演的跑题了，但又觉得没跑题，谁说穷就一定没有快乐。每件事情叙述包括片段的裁剪是值得表扬的，题材并不是很吸引人，但电影整个叙述很完整。
被“收编”之后的文牧野，极其适合拍这种“道路是曲折的，前途是光明的”城市形象宣传片，可有问《当幸福来敲门》拿版权费？另外，从未露面的本地房东和已功成名就的深一代仿佛立在主人公面前的两座大山，这座平均年龄全国最低的城市，外地人神话还能凑效吗？
又赚我眼泪。。。虽然剧情都可以预料，但是小朋友演得真不错~前半段看的我着急，真想爬进电影里面去帮帮他
文牧野最会挑时机
里面有所有创业者的影子，有共鸣。小妹妹和易烊千玺演的很好。剧作最后一段狗尾续貂。
足够努力拼搏迎来了奇迹，看不出哪里“笨”小孩。。
总体观感客观是四颗星，完成度不错但是套路猜得到。多给一颗星是觉得国产热血电影和小人物故事难得。
属于那种一看到开头就知道结尾的爽片，但这绝对是近两年最喜欢的电影了。套路化的剧情因为暖人的底色而格外打动人心，相比于名校的精英对利益的考量，底层工人爷爷的粗糙而内敛的真情才能在柴米油盐的生活中恒久留存，创造奇迹
文牧野的影像比徐浩峰好一些，都是精确的设计，但匠气还是少很多。
悬浮，哪里有这种学历不高的混混却还能死心塌地不求回报的员工请给我介绍
说实话，我就想说，这个故事也能算奇迹?这部电影没有给我太多的真实感，我没有看见小人物有多努力，我只看见主角在经历一点点小倒霉后得到了许多人一辈子都得不到的幸运，随随便便拆个机就能挣上百万!!?而且除去主角，其他人根本没有生活压力，感觉他们的存在就是为了帮助男主的，典型的主角光环，配角围绕主角转，太悬浮太不真实了。同时，妹妹这个角色更是没有塑造好，真的完全没看出来她病得很重，也不能让我体会到主角对钱的急切渴望。好作品源于好故事，如果没有好故事，那还是别拍了吧😅
主流励志片，和“缝纫机乐队”有点像，幸福是奋斗出来的，努力奋斗吧！
简单明快，可能都会知道结尾是什么，但是过程拍的也不错。
文牧野的影像比徐浩峰好一些，都是精确的设计，但匠气还是少很多。
好景常在。妹妹生病，没钱交房租，没钱交厂租，手指骨折......在合格率出来的那一刻，一切终于见到光明了。
3.5～四字弟弟真的演什么像什么！还有就是大家的生活都不容易，不要轻易评价别人的生活～～
