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.
嚴肅的主題，拍的也太好笑了吧。「人吶，任性一點！」
先抑后扬是不错，但是合租真的不是解决问题的正确方案，你不能只看到它美好的一面
其实最后那个SHARE HOUSE还蛮好的啊，有距离又没距离
演技就是演得了社长也演得了收银，别的没什么说的，能看这个电影的都应该已经对日式剧情很熟悉了……
我真的无法对这种套着温馨的和解片子产生共情 哪怕是天海
还以为是合租屋广告呢，内核是真的悲观，人不过是用后即弃的工具，努力半生的积蓄连养老院的门槛都摸不到，有什么意义呢？
喜剧片意外节奏还不错，退休金和Share house太一笔带过了。
就挺好玩儿的 不过他们后来住那种sharehouse真的有吗
虽然喜剧片，结局也过于理想，看的时间依然焦虑的算起了存款
3. 老年人失业后也要抱有希望
虽然偏漫画风格的开端和穿插不是很喜欢，不过还是很爱这种节奏和后来高能的“大泉健三骗取养老金案”，犊子两口子人性相当好，丈夫对家庭的“四个意识”都很强，婆婆虽然不是省油的灯，不过也不属于作妖派的，最后的寿宴装扮气质连它们的徳仁皇后雅子和明仁上皇后美智子都达不到呢，还得是戏骨出马才能撑起那不错国的尊严。
天海“我也是”
用非常中二、诙谐的方式，讲述了日本现今很现实的社会问题。冒领养老金、老年赡养问题、中年失业危机、消费观等等，虽然在结局关于共同居住的养老有一些美好，但换一种更舒适的消费生活方式，而不是被捆绑在豪华葬礼，天价婚礼一味要面子忽视钱包的传统模式，摒弃资本洗脑的消费观，这样的养老生活更让人欣喜。
区役所人员和大泉健三那段全场最佳。整体不如家族之苦，最后一转租房广告更是跌份。
越没有钱意外情况发生的就更多。当放下执念的时候情况也在好转 这也是吸引力法则的效应吧。
就这么说吧，单就日本社会，养老金没有一方面是存款不足，二来是政府出不起钱。
表面是反应现实剧，实际用超清新治愈的叙述讲离谱故事……
与其说是拍养老金，不如说是中年危机。 父母的葬礼要体面，儿女的婚姻要合适，不敢生病，不舍得买包，丈夫没谱，五十多失业，单拉一条出来都窒息，没法解决，最后用强行温情挽一个结。 但姆们跟人家还是不能比，姆们个人养老金呢，人家再不济独栋，周末上一上瑜伽，五十岁还有人收兼职，来咱们这儿试试。
为什么看到最后会觉得整个片子像share house的硬广？
养老问题都没有解决，人活着就要为年老生活做准备啦。婆媳气质都很棒。合租生活模式要是换成柯南来是不是就是另一种类型了。
