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.
宝塔山 坏蛋的大浓眉 原来男女搭配干活不累的传统由来已久 估计潜伏也是学得这个
好艺术啊……何兰芬上台阶那一段绝了，尤其是配乐。整个片子的配乐都很行。
长津湖续集 “七连应到一百八十人 实到一人”飙泪
4K彩色修复清晰度不错，至于彩色的效果做不到完美也丢失了黑白片特有的美感，孙道临在这部的核心还是那坚定的神情，真是打动观众了。
忘不了蛋糕里面藏发报机，可惜了那么大的蛋糕🎂
许多技巧尚不成熟，但那种干净利落恐怕是很难再见到了。
主旋律电影中的上乘之作，人物形象丰满生动。
小时候看的迷迷糊糊，只记得最后那句电报，永别了，同志们，我想念你们。现在看来，这句话依旧让人动容。
滴 滴滴滴 滴滴 滴滴滴 Kraftwerk参与制作的背景音乐么我摔
三炸过程拍得不精彩，人物塑造没有第一部仔细。故事和人物都不如第一部，虽然“新中国万岁”确实可以让人泪盈。
大概是因为上一部给了友情分，这一部真的给不下去。巧合太多，情节刻意。
既然有两部，不如拍成8集短剧，每集一小时。
人物原型是我的校友，还是很自豪的。当年去延安看到的宝塔山可真不像片子里面拍的如此有性意味。。。当然这肯定不是主创的原意。跟风说一句孙道临真帅。“不！我需要工作！”
从小看了很多遍的经典电影，就是这部影片让我知道孙道临那一代的演员真是当之无愧的艺术家！致敬！
2021-10-28 修复重映版 @深影。隐蔽战线
夸一下水门桥的妆造，神仙级别的，特别是朱亚文的战损妆，那肿起的眼睛，干燥裂口的嘴唇，非常真实，看着就疼。
典型老电影的感觉，起承转合是有点慢且尬（现在人的节奏），但胜在真实与真挚——看过那么多谍战片，这个才第一次感受到谍报人员发电报的实际操作多困难重重以及那时候延安人有多坚定，女主一开始潜伏那种反应说实话现在一个人都演不出来，因为现在人本身就不那么想了。最后，我靠孙道临和王心刚真是帅疯了（最后的最后 我运气好好 又赶上了主创场
这部片子必须向孙道临致敬，王新刚在孙道临的面前，完全没有了22大明星的风采
李侠，真的是非常温柔而又强大的人啊。他当然也是“侠”。
姚苇这么高的水平怎么被派到前线了，留在后方当老法师不香么？天亡“党国”啊！
