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.
连霓虹都不得不正视贫困问题，这让那谁情何以堪……
片子挺好的，虽然前面沉闷了一下，反映的现实也没有过分煽情
音乐与画面色调都极其克制，压得有些透不过气，从福岛地震引出的本国社会福利问题让人唏嘘不已。原来霓虹也有饿死的穷人，我本来以为只有2202的SH。佐藤每次有大动作，我就以为要飞天御剑流了。
和音乐剧不同，也没有办法，毕竟电影不可能完全一样。电影就一般吧。歌曲听过太多遍，依然好听。
喜欢宽叔，喜欢宽叔演警察，但是对社会和灾难不能感同身受，也许中国的灾后重建都让国家包圆了，中国人的灾后内心没有碎成渣渣。
纯纯的社会派，几乎没有推理和悬念。也没有特别触动我的鸡汤，所以……不合口味，仅此而已。
里面的歌都好喜欢啊！剧情稍微拉垮（包括AA的唱功 肯定会有人骂白人的无病呻吟吧……
天灾之后必有人祸，只是我们没有追究的权力。演员表演都挺不错的，只是剧本有点弱，天灾造成的心理创伤和人祸的制度性问题都没有深入，有点遗憾。
叛逆愤怒的人却有着善良柔软的内心，福利院的工作人员却冷若冰霜。只能说这个世界让太多不该活着的人活着，太多不该死去的人死去了。
在灾难面前，人性会变得扭曲。适合在疫情当下观看，而我们只会拍《中国好医生》。
亲亲AA和Moore 男主怎么看也不像是高中生啊
歌词比台词戳人
虽然被剧迷骂得狗血淋头，但没看过的朋友我还是会推荐吧，毕竟也没有官摄也等不到现场，每次听到you will be found都哭得稀里哗啦，所有的歌都是la la land的词曲人写的，尤其是anonymous one那首原创，因为在音乐剧里没有，单方面认为是全电影最自然又不用力的表演了，结尾的新歌a little closer顺带加入了一个新情节，我觉得这应该是最好的结局了。
音乐还行，就是一言不合就唱歌，有点歌舞青春的感觉。
不想写论文把评价很差的DEH看了，然后又在油管看了好久骂这个电影的视频👋
以为是《小偷家族》那样的类型，没想到最后反转了。力度不够。
一个没能讲好的好故事。惊喜之处：（1）佐藤健剧抛脸；（2）没有预料到真凶；（3）选择关注的是低保这个社会性问题。失望之处：剧情安排欠妥，导致小千的行为动机在观众看来有些奇怪。
将假意温情的虚伪对白用一首首流水线歌曲（主歌低沉副歌高亢，演唱人挤出热泪嘴角抽动）反复Highlight只会让灾难更加灾难。好莱坞对于塑造歌舞片里播撒福音的救世主木偶永不满足，以至于连死去的人都必将以爱的名义被装饰、点化、复活、再判死。观众对于当代歌舞片的不信任全拜此类电影所赐。
音乐剧不会也是这样吧？这电影确实没啥意思，主角的错误很难被原谅，观众怎么可能因为你有心理问题就宽容你呢？
想说的很明确，但说的不好，前期节奏太慢，揭露也缺少铺垫，本来是复杂和难解的矛盾，反而被电影简化了，凶手也揭露的毫不意外
