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.
毫无逻辑，黑帮竟然会拾金不昧20亿，放港片，警察都会藏车里跑路。
在黑白之间游走的贯彻自身正义的警探，有点像日本电影《孤狼之血》系列。
因为两位主演而看的，虽然由小说改编，但这事也就是搁HG能拍和接受。故事紧凑和结构性一般，不是那么抓人。小崔演技还需要练，赵震雄和朴熙顺一如既往的稳。
看在赵震雄面子上多1星，这类故事没有创新的话，真是看得又累又无聊
这样一个平凡又坚定的成长故事本来可以照“父亲”角色的缺失（寻找男性楷模）到迷茫、困顿，探寻自我价值和身份认同的轨迹，用“痛感”使观众产生共鸣，但是讲故事的方式真挺没新意，双线叙事只是让结构更加零散了，成品到了最后搞成温吞吞经典美式鸡汤励志小品也给了我一种被骗的感觉。但是实在喜欢舅舅这个角色和莉莉拉贝，所以还是三星。
改编自被称为警察推理巨作的同名日本小说？？不是漫改？男主选的太嫩了，跟个弱鸡似的，行为也跟弱智一样
外国电影喜欢找爸，中国电影喜欢找妈。另外就是外国电影喜欢弑父，似乎找爸弑父是西方无论是神化还是传记（普通人故事）特别喜欢表达。这部虽平庸拖沓主题到也符合西式哲学。
人的成长过程，总是会缺失一些东西，也许是被认为是很重要的部分。同样，也必然会有另一部分来填充，而这一部分，常常会在写回忆录时才会发现，原来得到的比失去的多。
看開頭十分鐘就能猜到結尾的電影，但趙震雄真的越老越帥
很美式的故事，更喜欢童年部分。有点儿像是舅舅版《完美的世界》。
就还行吧 比反贪风暴5 好看10倍那肯定妥妥的
有点像《孤狼之血》？也是警察游走在黑白之间的灰色地带……
典型的“电脑副屏电影”，在那个氛围里就可以的，都是普通人的日常生活，让它陪着我打游戏也是很香的存在。
大本和小泰倾尽全力的表演，一首接一首的老歌金曲串烧，再多温情的梗都没法挽救这部平庸流水账式的回忆录，原著没看过，再一次证明畅销小说并不是好电影的必要条件。
大概第一次被本·阿弗莱克蛊到，知性、贴心、衣品好。挺温馨的剧情但是过于平淡细碎，应该是纽约时报看不上的。【。
大叔和帅哥男主的演技都还不错的，只是这个故事情节有点单薄啊……觉得算是个小亮点的情节竟然是那个人11点很帅的把钱还回来。
男主的经历有些熟悉，我也是各种挫折，现在还是徘徊在低谷，但自己的人生无论怎样都完走完吧。

很喜欢这种小清新的调调，一个男孩的成长是依照着父亲的模样，对于父权的未知让男孩的成长遇到了这群叔叔，他一直在寻找的父亲形象，其实一直在他的身边。
娓娓道来父爱缺失的环境下意外获得了更多的爱和温柔的故事，《少年时代》这种类型的电影有其时间的魅力。
