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.
早年练刀的时候，总问前辈，下一招出什么；前辈说，不用去想下一招，一切都是时机的选择。有一点倭寇踪迹的徐皓峰，又有一点东邪西毒的王家卫。
总归是要有梦想的不是么
这句这特么棒，好多年没看到这么棒的写实刀剑打斗的武侠剧了。
算是用心了，动作可以，有点徐浩峰的味道了，故事太拉跨
5.5，摄影还可以，故事一般，音乐有点弱，加强一下声音制作起码是及格线以上了。
刀客靠捞偏门挣钱，却被好兄弟出卖，幸得娇妻不弃，终获知命运无常。一个简短乏味的基层‘辅警’悲惨的人生故事，电影对有着第一刀客盛誉的人物塑造较为薄弱，看到些许《绣春刀》的影子，但不如后者扎实。
狗屎片 纯粹跪舔黑人的 主角连上的肉多的像猪头 一点英气杀气都没有 剧情是狗屎 为了骂他 特意注册了豆瓣
作为网大可以打四星，台词有内味，但是剧情就很一般，讲的故事太少了就会感觉节奏很慢
打斗用心，好过很多武侠剧了。演技，台词过于单薄，还是需要好好打磨！
有江湖味道；剑客太文艺了，与身份不符，要么江湖气十足，阴险狡诈，义薄云天，要么你就干脆利落快意恩仇好了，干嘛搞的像文人一样文绉绉的，内心戏太多！

没有一个人在讲人话，剧情稀碎，一个小时过去了还不知道主人公到底想干啥，塑造的江湖架空，架空并不意味着失真，每个人做事都没有逻辑且非常直接，每个人都在端着。你要学王家卫就学到底，要学徐浩峰就学到底，哪怕说你抄袭日本剑戟片你也抄得真诚一点好吗？否则就是四不像、丑八怪
虎毅兄能持之以恒在武侠上终得成果难能可贵👍
道理我都懂，但是既然30年前就有《双旗镇刀客》了，30年后还拍这种片子作甚。🤡
不知道的以为昆汀新片呢，简直就是山寨版的姜戈，全员话痨，音乐带感，剧情再紧凑点就好了（原声大碟里kid cudi和jay-z合作的那首真不错）。
难得一见的武侠剑戟片，武器和招式都很考究，打斗硬桥硬马，运镜及画面都很精良，看得出导演很用心。故事情节弱了一点。华语动作片已经式微，导演是在努力做一件吃力不讨好的事情。我觉得即使有很多缺陷还是应该给导演多一些掌声的，希望下一步片会更好。
天大地大还是大漠和江湖更配，就是发配了十年也不见他们老我着实有点着急。千里不留行也可以叫《背锅侠林大卫的悲惨大漠生活》
动作干净利落，打斗写实震撼，场面看的出演员和剧组都是下了很大功夫的。加油！
故事很简单，打戏是真的用心，良心之作，值得一看。
