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.
那个国度都有这种废材垃圾货色，结果人家是王者。贫民区的人民总是各有特色。这么大的倾斜度，是能感觉到的，尤其在躺下的时候。最后那个点睛之笔，太棒了！
从前面的偶尔搞搞笑后来发展成温情灾难大自救？一些角色真的可有可无，不懂铺垫了那么多是干什么用的？？？最后，辛辛苦苦一辈子，买啥逼房子啊，搞个房车多好！！！
moviemovie cityplaza, 喜剧型的灾难片还是满有新意的。
看见了好多老熟人啊……作为喜剧电影看还可以，要是按照灾难片的标准来看对白太多场面太少
各种脱离现实的剧情发展和逻辑问题贯穿全片，让人觉得这不是一部灾难片而是科幻片；那些获救的人也不是普通人而是超级战士！难以想象《摩天楼》居然是同一个导演拍的......
祝：you喷子 ！！！！全家
实在是太太太一般了，果然综艺中强烈的印象对演员未必是一件好事。
豆瓣评分这么差吗，我看还行啊，脱离了一般灾难片的套路，喜剧效果拉满，确实特效不太行，而且没有灾难片那么惊悚，也没有升华的高度，可能以喜剧片为主会好一些吧
纯粹是对天坑这种地质现象好奇，加上喜欢看灾难片，所以看了这个烂片。
越看这种电影，越觉得旧中国从半封建半奴隶社会做到现在，是十分不易的
节奏太慢是这部电影最大的问题，前半段的笑点密集，后半段开始气哭牛顿和剧情俗套，这种救援队要是在中国可是拼命式救人绝不会如此老实的在地面老张，大结局孩子没入镜、后续交代不清楚，开头慢结尾快，这剧本开的是酒驾车吧。
既然是个胡扯的喜剧片，怎么不把人都救出来呢？
“若藏匿鸦片，本大人一定要查。这些个洋人，若胆敢私贩鸦片，本大人也一定要抓”。无愧于“民族英雄”之称！
所有人都特别聒噪，一直在大吼大叫，难道是顶楼番外篇
恩，这就是个披着灾难片外衣的喜剧片，自带喜感的光洙和韩国大叔们啊，但是看完后我想不起来这个片到底讲了啥，所以还是两星半吧哈哈哈~
这是灾难片还是喜剧片，看着跟一堆演员在玩探险游戏，拍电影大概感觉也确实如此。
活下来全靠奇迹，城市里有这么深的坑也太匪夷所思了吧？
房子掉进天坑的设定倒是很有意思，当做无厘头喜剧片看的话，房子不散架，几个人都毫发无损这些bug就忽略不计了，但是房顶救人那场戏，还有儿子跳沼泽的情节，是不是太弱智了一点？
看了一大堆吐槽骂街的影评之后，我回来给它加了一星。
叙事比较完整的以虎门硝烟为背景的动作片，动作设计还是很精彩，细节还是挺多的，值得一看。
