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.
看的点映场。影片制作水准上乘，黑色幽默铺底、意外反转不断，惊喜之作！故事很精巧，在封闭空间内写故事本身就很难，为写原创故事的编剧龙也竖大拇指！范伟出色的表演为影片加分不少，想不到另外一个人来演会是什么样子。
剧情太单薄了。去掉慢镜头，去掉煽情片段，整部电影没有30分钟
国产钙里奇，🐷多不合理。好人全没死，坏人都归西。
刚从点映场出来，无数次泪目。片子从苏桦伟出生讲到他最后一次残奥会，母爱贯穿其中，另外所有残障人士的生活细节都非常真实动人。吴君如不愧是香港影坛的常青树，大爱吴君如！
“你残疾是天生的没有人会怪你，但是他们会怪妈妈”
对国产悬疑电影不要太苛刻，这片怎么也值8分啊，4星+1星鼓励。
正片开始的俯视镜头与仰视镜头拍得还挺有电影感的，也便留下还不错的初印象，哪知随后就逐渐被跳跃的剪辑手法败坏了好感……哎，《不速来客》于我终究还是没能成为《无名之辈》。
逻辑成了闭环。范伟和张颂文演技值了电影票。张颂文是不是已经成了电影质保员？他参与的片子，就算烂的，也能拉回来点东西
虽然煽情有点多，但是还是很推荐。尤其是苏妈讲的那句，你残疾是天生的，没有人怪你，所有人都是怪我。
怎么说呢，今天北京残奥会开幕式，六公主来放这部片子，当然要给六公主面子啦～
和扬名立万有点像，导致看了扬名立万再看这部觉得导演和演员都差点，导演用了记忆碎片的手法，但本身可能是能力不足所以并没有让故事的可看性更高；张颂文的角色发挥不大，窦骁演技不如长相好
ps14岁的阿伟演员神似荣梓杉..
认定目标，不放弃的精神，也在感染着我！
东拼西凑、乱七八糟的拧巴故事，很像《全民目击》那类伪悬疑垃圾，完全没有剥洋葱的快感。自以为是、自作聪明、自我感觉良好，结局当然是自食其果。
执行和完成度很好，但几个点实在喜欢不起来：
不带任何期待去看，结果非常惊喜，剧本一环套一环，没有一处闲笔，每一句台词都有信息量，反转和悬念不断。演员都很出色，窦骁的表现尤其意外。
完成度还是不错的，但跳不出盖里奇和宁浩的模子，就难再往上说上点什么了，顶多就范伟的梗、饭桶外卖算是新特色。至于拐卖儿童，也太突兀了点吧，深刻不是这么搞的呀。
整体情节、节奏、叙事还是挺不错的，比较话剧剧本杀的感觉，个别小细节有点小瑕疵，但反复重述带来新的反转，加重的呼吸节奏增加紧张气氛，整体剧情大于喜剧，部分细节以为自己猜到了，结果和自己想的不一样还蛮加分的。范伟表现顶得起大梁，窦骁比想象中出彩还不错。看的时候莫名想到《局外人》，虽然不一样，但莫名还是感叹普通人荒诞的悲剧。
泛密闭，持续补充前情实现反转，角色上线的安排太刻意，缺少意外感
感谢不散的超前点映场。剧情非常棒，节奏把控也好，环环相扣，没有任何多余的内容，悬疑气氛营造的也好，很适合我这种喜欢悬疑又不太能接受惊悚和血腥的人。以前很不喜欢陕北话，头一次觉得特好笑。结局满意，自从隐秘的角落以后实在是太喜欢张颂文了。
