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.
但是，我相信崔志佳尽力了。
起码比某些导演的片子真诚
平平淡淡，平平庸庸，平平常常。结局不够有意思。
观看的过程不断想起《潜行者》《自己去看》《上升》等一系列苏联战争电影，形式又带了更多东方美学的意味，不同于之前所谓东方日式的风格，能看见更多中国风味，更诗意、壮阔和凌厉，是一部在美学上颇有成就的电影。
蕴含着对特殊人群关怀内核的一部喜剧，觉得拍的也挺好的了。选角上，张琪、教母、老四这几个真的觉得是挺出彩的，也感受到了佳佳对于老朋友的照顾。觉得在这个大环境底下，能拍出来这样的电影已经挺不错的了，值得鼓励，佳佳是个好演员，还是个有追求的导演！看见他就觉得挺喜人的，也接地气。
Emmmmm 好笑的部分某音都节选完了……
故事的内核挺好（刑满释放人员再就业➕心理救赎），但是细节经不起推敲，剪辑也不流畅，许多剧情可有可无
其实能做到及格的，还是有一些突兀的地方。前半段是满分
我承认我对这类电影期待值极低，不难看到乐不出来就行了，所以想说这部还不错，居家想放松放松，看看挺舒服的，不添堵。
还不错，表演朴实，剧本扎实。
继续努力吧。感觉就像投资人拿了三百万硬让你拍出一部电影的感觉。
我觉得崔志佳整的挺好，作为一个喜剧故事完整，该有的都有，演技也都在线。我觉得挺好！
表演参次不齐，部分演员剧院味道太重（尤其屋内对峙那里），配音有挽救，可还是些微突兀，为演员和导演捏把汗的功夫，神儿就跳出去了。
节奏再控制的好一点 细节再打磨的好一些 就能在院线上映了 不说别的 最起码比“杀手不太冷静”强太多了
好算不上，个别梗还能逗逗乐，最后狗尾续貂太多
7分。好久没有一个人到电影院了，看的时候有几个场景还有点瘆人。中国美术学院出品，画面是挺美的，故事也简单，人物塑造不够丰满，看起来差点味道，总觉得流于表面，虚实结合的手法有点意思，实在表达主角对自己的行动内心也是怀疑的吗？
虚有其表，段子喜剧也需要升级啊，否者就是尴尬。
典型的国产院线喜剧风，上一次看院线还是《扬名立万》，下一次院线更是遥遥无期。
崔志佳自导自演，角色表现还这么好，很难得。
无脑观影佳片。 有几处笑料还是不错的
