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.
硬核武侠，挺好看的，拍的用心了，满分鼓励，国产继续加油啊
没有刀意纵横，也没有什么终极奥义，难得一见的还原真实刀剑砍杀的好片，很喜欢。
有大漠的粗犷，有刀客的英雄气概，也有人性的丑恶，电影🎬有些细节处理的不太连贯和符合逻辑，在把细节多打磨一下会更好！
至於劇情...，樓上簡介都說完了~
剧情很一般，就是模版套的一样。打斗还算可以，中规中矩吧。美术算是最好的了吧。至于选角，不知道是有意还是无意，那个千人斩的演员说话，应该看过好几遍绣春刀里的周一围吧……而男主则长得像翻版的宋洋
有江湖味道；剑客太文艺了，与身份不符，要么江湖气十足，阴险狡诈，义薄云天，要么你就干脆利落快意恩仇好了，干嘛搞的像文人一样文绉绉的，内心戏太多！
很不错的武侠电影，动作写实，风格凌厉，但剧情不够，故事凌乱
塞北的取景和音乐不错，故事比较简单，情节发展比较慢，男主老婆最后的举动真是难以理解。
道理我都懂，但是既然30年前就有《双旗镇刀客》了，30年后还拍这种片子作甚。🤡
一旦拿起刀，就逃不过破戒。造了业，就逃不过冤冤相报。何况，拿起过刀的人，很会拿刀的人，能放弃拿刀的自己吗？
——命运，来吧！！！
哈哈哈哈哈，日子都快过不下去了，见天的有人来比刀！要比咱收费吧。虽然动作戏的观赏性不如李连杰时代的拍摄手法，但相对于现在各种夸张的电脑特效还是强多了。
动作设计很有徐浩峰范儿，国产武侠网大的诚意之作。
武打设计不错，但是人物立不住，故事太苍白，表演也有点粗糙，千人斩很明显是在模仿隔壁《绣春刀》吧。
虎毅兄能持之以恒在武侠上终得成果难能可贵👍
看的很难受啊，人物逻辑都很奇葩，没一个舒服的角色。最后是一个劝人别打架的主题？
真的不错前半段，后面就有点emmm不过武术的真刀真枪还是要点赞支持的。
一个亡命之徒，偏偏名叫Love，强烈的反差
意外竟然勉强能看，不算太烂。打斗动作场面是最能拿得出手的东西，一招一式，有板有眼，又不失没感。更让人惊喜的是，主角在教授刀术时，没有胡说八道，反而是很在理的东西。不好的地方当属剧情了，单薄，老套。根本给予不了人有趣的感受，更不会有情感上的触动。我不禁想问下，十年都能忍住对她出手，最后强上是要闹哪样？
很不错的一部电影，阐述了侠义精神，没有明星大腕，武打设计不浮夸，没有吊着威亚的漫天飞舞。
