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.
在无数次内心的挣扎后毅然赴死，这种本能求生到坦然赴死的转变刻画得很真实。
另类的战争片讲述无名之辈的历史故事，诗意和悲怆感共存，忍不住叫绝。
基于浙江西南挺进师战略转移的真实历史拍摄的，不仅在浙江取景，还用了南方方言，很有特色。
全片基本上可以说是零血腥刺激镜头，但整体悲壮凄美的氛围却营造的很足很足
这几个面生的演员带给我很大惊喜感，演的非常好，一切都是恰到好处的情感流露，共情能力绝绝子。
原田监督的电影美学真是没话说！气氛渲染、大杀阵场面调度，甚至连暴力场面都可以反复欣赏，我最喜欢的一场戏居然就是刺杀芹泽鸭，镜头语言绝佳。就算把我们はじめちゃん拍成背景板我也认了，洸平在京都的两个月戏仿佛修行，跟着各位师匠学习电影。另外我还挺喜欢受到不少诟病的女性篇幅较多的问题，我倒是觉得增加的女性视角充实了这个男人故事的层次感，其他的交给中字吧，五星预定。
两颗星给摄影，一颗星给敢于尝试的勇气吧。
对不熟悉相关史实的观影者来说故事过于流水账。但土方岁三这位叙事者兼主角真是太鲜明突出了，冈田准一从颜值到演技都非常hold住。与阿雪的感情戏，还有与冲田的友谊都有看点。但山田凉介作为冲田总司来说颜可以，但气场是真不行。
太美了，是一种残酷的浪漫，清澈的河流，水中的浮尸，漂浮和花瓣，寂静的丛林，用如此诗意的方式讲述这样一场令人绝望的战争。
没有商业电影为了迎合大众而设置的笑点或痛点。更像是另一种形式的纪录片。灰色调的画面，让人感觉沉浸在某个人的回忆里。没有特效，没有太多的对白，却又的确传递了丰富的情绪。让人印象最深的是结尾，天空下起了雨，越下越大，雨水打在主角的脸上，是黑色的，又似乎是血色的，低沉的呐喊淹没在雨声中。还是不错的
值得鼓励 国内没有特别好的战争片
很佩服导演和制作团队竟然能把残酷的战争拍得如此唯美而独具艺术感，一种全新的尝试，个人觉得十分值得借鉴和推敲。
《燃烧吧，剑》——副长行云流水账似的一生。想想司马辽太郎的原作，人生虽短，其中的每一个人人，都活成了一首首隽永的俳句。
革命精神的传承需要这么好的载体，这部影片非常优秀，真实又梦幻，能让人看进心里去，应该安利给更多人。
不仅是简单的艰险任务，还有关于生与死的灵魂拷问，那些因为信仰而选择坚持的人，那些忠于使命而光荣牺牲的人，将永远被历史铭记....
6分，可惜鬼之副长波澜壮阔的故事拍成了流水账。
争分夺秒的殊死之战，奉献生命的热血壮举，都呈现的静默而隐忍，越克制反而越有张力。
有两处男主出现幻觉的地方给我留下深刻的印象，一处是水中他不停的看见尸体，而另一处是小哨子出事后，他看到的幻觉。这两处真是整部电影的神来之笔，在战火纷飞的年代，普通人面对残酷的战争，一定会留下心理创伤PTSD的，这也更揭露了小人物从身体上、精神上、人性上各方向面临的多重压力和摧残，而这也恰恰说明了我们生命力的顽强，心理表达上处理非常好。
真实的历史与热血人物激发了他们饱满的创作热情，同时他们也有一种创新驱动
