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.
有点野有点宗有点放飞有点忧伤，悲情诗一样的西部故事，可久久品味！
故事情节借鉴了很多其他影视作品，肉眼可见的拼凑感，武侠片真的已经挺小众了
真是有内味儿啦！很久没看到这么有感觉的刀客电影了。演员选的不错，编剧不拉胯，多点这种网大让我们洗洗眼
作为一部低成本国产武侠片，做成这样已经很不错了
故事一般，演技差点，但动作，真心不错，不矫揉造作拖泥带水，三星的分四星鼓励。
有点野有点宗有点放飞有点忧伤，悲情诗一样的西部故事，可久久品味！
比现在的一些垃圾电影好多了，只是没有知名明星才会没人看
喜欢这种实战的打斗方式，不花哨，刀刀搏命，非死即伤。人物设定不喜欢，主角不像是混江湖的高手，婆婆妈妈，性格软弱。
片名太霸气，但跟李白侠客行的诗中意境完全不沾边。剧情背景还可以，打戏也看得过去，但没必要学绣春刀。尤其是男主这个演员撑不起这个角色，远不如绣春刀里张震演的沈炼。这电影开头的几个画面是真的不错，西北、大漠、刀客、策马、残幡，算是这类武侠片的标准缩影。
比网大质量好，但也有很多效仿痕迹，前三十分钟叙事密度流畅度不错，后面剧本力度上不太行。
现实主义的武侠片。突出一个真实，底层人真实的生存驱动，真实的侠义信仰，真实的损人利己卑鄙邪恶。动作戏很少吊钢丝飞来飞去，真实的人力械斗，某些POSE忍不住地扭捏做了一下态。总体很朴实、清新，在满屏幕都是上天入地、电闪雷鸣、风驰电掣、地动山摇、万有引力能量守恒定律皆失效的动作场面的形势下，本片实属难得的一朵野百合。
导演能想象的他们的西部故事 画面用心但让人摸不着头脑 故事貌似很爽但也很傻 女朋友跑去单挑看的人精神失常 确定这不是导演拍出来反政治正确的？ 配乐独挑大梁
西部荒漠场景 剑客 很有侠客味道
大漠的荒凉，刀客的无情。剧情一般，但是大戏还是可以的，刘楚玄依稀有林青霞的味道。
决战险胜。
影片打斗场面写实，台词简单明了。值得一看！
算是用心了，动作可以，有点徐浩峰的味道了，故事太拉跨
听说你也读过俞大猷的《剑经》，那我们俩谁是真的？
剧情真的是太差劲了，不过还算有自己的风格。
比起那个雪中……，至少武打镜头是过得去的！以资鼓励。
