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.
有生之年，印度要是能彻底概念种姓制度，我倒立吃X
拯救一个苦难的家庭，维护一个部族的尊严。面对自下而上的徇私枉法和利欲熏心的人性黑暗，秉承做人的良知，铭记律师的责任，为底层的人发声，为无辜的人伸张，为人的尊严斗争，为社会不公反抗。铁肩担道义，辣手著文章。抽丝剥茧，不为所动。印度版的《辩护人》，底层人民的人权领袖。
这种题材的电影，“根据真实事件改编”就已经赢了一大半了。
感觉是八十年代那种叙事风格，正派反派的理想主义。
感觉是八十年代那种叙事风格，正派反派的理想主义。
富强 民主 文明 和谐 自由 平等 公正 法治 爱国 敬业 诚信 友善
印度这种种姓制度不废除 他们永远无法成为一个强大的国家
还有人为不平等在战斗，即使是烂到骨子里的封建制度。
印度版《辩护人》，愿这世上终有公平正义，善恶自有所报。在人物刻画上，个人还是觉得韩国人更胜一筹
少数族群底层人民的苦，官僚群体相互串通的恶，正义人士无偿助力的善，让一个你看着毫无希望的印度有了某种星星之火可以燎原的可能。就电影本身技术角度而言并不算优秀但这个题材和胆量是我们不会有的。天下乌鸦一般黑，只是有的叫了，有的沉默了，有的是哑巴。
看完本片，不由得对坚持正义的律师心生敬佩。每一个国家，都需要这样的人，为手无寸铁的民众举起对抗部分邪恶公权力的法律武器。
这个简介太不走心了吧
就……幸好它是以爽片的形式拍的。难以相信现代社会还有因为相信某个人群是神身上的泥灰所以低等恶劣的国家，也难以相信这样的国家可以拍这种电影。不过距离电影里故事的发生过去这么多年了，事情好像也并没什么起色
确实应该有这样的电影，批判自己。我们现在这样不好。
印度政府怎么能让这种电影过审？正义得以伸张的核心除了权力外的民权律师，还有权力内的警察处处长：”为了警察部门我什么都可以放到一边，但是我永远不会放弃我的良心，我很抱歉。“
并算不上很妙，伏笔埋得太明显，显得很蹩脚。但要表达的东西倒挺真诚的，其实这样一个故事放到其他国家必定觉得不真实，但在印度真不好说。
为低种姓穷苦人伸张正义的真实事件，很感慨，人类和世界纵然有很多的黑暗，但仍因有他们和他们所争得的正义而值得热爱。同样学法律出身的我很惭愧。
非常好看且有社会意义。有些桥段过于喜剧化，比如坏蛋警察一次次犯蠢送分，让片子少了一些真实感，也会让人悲观：是不是只有坏蛋没长脑子时，正义才能得到伸张？
振聋发聩的真实事件改编，当执法者变成犯罪者，这起印度的“秋菊打官司”的绝望在仿佛完全不现实但却确确实实发生了的理想主义微光中获得了公正。不要因为它是印度电影就小看它，用眼睛去确认吧。
可惜我们无法在中国电影里看到个人对体制的诘问。
