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.
教科书结构，但比例拿捏前部分稍微长了一点点。整体表现手法相当克制，配乐很少，运镜也简单，但综合起来却达到了一种老相片在暗房冲洗逐渐曝光的过程。剧力的坚实基础和故事看似平铺直叙但暗藏转折的讲法，再加上配角出彩演绎，并没有让人物沦为事件的脸谱，特别是几个反派，镜头不多，却各有特色。
漫漫自由路！
折磨戏真的是咬着牙看下去，明明没有通过化妆技术把伤口，流血效果进行加强和特写，却偏偏让你震撼。真真是那种姓制度带来的不公与压迫，通过警长挥出去的棍子，还有警界和政府官员沆瀣一气的腐朽，让你感受到了压抑。透不过气的压抑~
爆料自己的黑历史并没什么大不了，就比如现在的我们也不会嘲笑茹毛饮血的先祖。遮遮掩掩才是毛病，恰恰说明自己还沉沦在不自信的泥潭。
印度版《辩护人》，真的羡慕印度能拍这样的电影
漫漫自由路！
片子是好片子，但拍的确实太累赘了，昏昏欲睡
“这将是一场艰苦的战斗。”
这个故事在相当程度上说明结果正义带来的恶。故事是靠着三个关键人物鼎力相助才能走下去，这样的良心人物固然可贵，但只能指望良心的社会着实可悲。程序正义的未来才是法治社会
虽然这样说很狭隘，但每多看一部印度片，就越希望离那片可怕的土地远一点。是真的从心底发怵。
监狱里打人那段看着好揪心，就是律师好多镜头用慢动作➕配乐，就有一种英雄主义的感觉，很不喜欢
尽管印度目前为止人权还没得到完全的保护 但是至少人权律师还是有人权的。这片子imdb评分超过肖申克的救赎确实有点夸张 政治意义大于电影本身 确实因为阶级差距过大 所以看起来会比辩护人更残忍。
血淋淋地展示了底层人民的生存状况。没有土地，住不起砖房，拿着微薄的收入小心翼翼地生活，却仍然不知道何时天降横祸，随时会被警察污蔑犯罪。警察明知犯罪者是谁，可在受贿后闭口不言，随便抓人顶罪，不分青红皂白妄图屈打成招。昏迷过去直接向眼睛撒辣椒粉，为了撤销指控数次威胁家属，大街上把孩子抢走。甚至把人打死后还要污蔑他逃狱，暗地里却把尸体扔在荒野外。触目惊心的画面竟然是根据真实改编，让人窒息。而好的是这不是近年来的案件，并且还能被改编成电影上映，敢于承认且揭露真相，是伟大的举动。
如果法官也没有良知呢？每个国家都有垃圾，中国也不例外
为了正义，哪怕天崩地裂，影片正是一个根据真实故事改编的关于追寻正义的故事。人权律师钱德鲁为无端受冤的低种族部落家庭伸张正义、抵抗黑暗，最终通过法律的武器赢得胜利，恢复正义。
电影里用几个月赢来的胜利，现实里用了十年。
故事很不错。人物塑造方式和整体的叙事方式实在太过时了。一个政治事件，法制宣传被拍成了浪漫叙事的个人英雄主义。对这种毫无思辨，嚼碎了喂的观众讨好型叙事接受无能。
电影是强大的武器，但重要的是我们通过使用它来保护谁......
有阳光的地方就有黑暗，但敢于直面黑暗，就是勇气，就是干净又卫生...
正如女友所说，要警惕完美圣人英雄型电影，除了情节和人物设计，相比辩护人差了几个档次了。不知道什么原因，导演对节奏的把控也不太好，没必要拍那么久的。再吐槽一句我看的版本翻译真的太差了。
