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.
但是故事情节就太....简单了，完全就是不服就干的节奏
虽然低成本是网大的标签，但是不多的预算也算是用在了刀刃上。情节也算短小精悍，套用疾速追杀，爽就过瘾。谢苗从青葱少年变成如今的网大扛把子，也算不负一身本事。
故事简单，讲的就是一个沧桑的刀客路见不平了一次，然后拔刀相助，最后与姑娘告别。没有缠绵悱恻的爱情，只有一腔孤勇的侠义。其实，真正的侠客应该是这样有所为有所不为的。
皑皑雪地杀人时，烈酒一刀成焰的设计不错。
目中无人，这样的世道下已经不是人能生存的了
谢苗真的太缺好片拍了，可惜啊，这本子就是镖人+龙飞+浪客剑心
当然这里要再强调一下，浪人形象这绝不是日本的东西，这是唐朝，懂得自然懂，我说的日漫影响是谢苗的人物基本就是座头市加浪客剑心的结合，绝招不就是天翔龙闪吗
我很喜欢洛阳相别时的那个场景，四两拨千斤，处理得很妙，但是整部影片却还是有“矫情”的老毛病，动作戏很赞，很不错。
即便只是学了黑泽明的一点皮毛，也要胜过多少网大电影了。
有点《伸冤人》的味道
小成本纯粹武侠动作片，狗血故事不拖泥带水，动作戏干脆但是没什么新意，画面干净好看有点意思。
场景、服装、化妆、道具都可圈可点，几场动作戏的氛围感也很贴切，甚至是电影片名和剧情设定都有一种玄机和深意，唯独剧情，体量小而单薄，结束前的复仇戏份几乎无波无澜，少了很多的悬念和跌宕。
本土化的座头市，打戏很漂亮，美指也不错。虽然瞎子能辨颜色什么的太扯，琴娘送人头的行为让人迷惑，宇文家的衰落也快得像是黑帮被剿，但整体来说还是很不错的。请谢苗多多拍打戏，请网络大电影按照这个标准来拍。
我觉得这片绝对是瞎猫碰上死耗子的类型，很多人肯定疑惑为啥这么俗套的剧本都有人拍，我估计从制作上也就是标准的网大水准，只不过因为动作干净利落，画面也不错，一对比，这片子分就起来了。
好喜欢这种纯粹的武侠电影，打斗丝滑不拖泥带水，又帅又飒。主角和马让我想起杰洛特哈哈哈，还想看瞎子的故事。服化道都很有写实的美，质感不错。bgm也好听，尤其是片尾曲。
作为小成本，可以的。动作戏很漂亮。故事老套简单但是节奏还行，画面看的出尽力“体现”审美了。
干净利落， 快意恩仇， 很好！ 完全可以发展成中国版的疾速追杀。 捉刀人宇宙
有点绣春刀那味儿，谢苗长的越来越不像王宵了，嘬腮严重。
作为小成本，可以的。动作戏很漂亮。故事老套简单但是节奏还行，画面看的出尽力“体现”审美了。
现如今武侠片的没落有目共睹，伴随着的也是“侠义”精神无人再提。现实里我们相信政府的法度，不再需要侠义逞能；思想上我们更在乎自身、拜金慕强，心中的正义早就换了定义。拍拍复仇的，仙侠晋级的多好，还拍行侠仗义类型是真不讨好，更别说视觉风格如此独特的武侠电影，虽然借鉴嫌疑，亦是难得的勇气。为勇气加一颗星！
