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.

昌大的电影，不错。
从古至今，我们都是把他们按在地上摩擦，，，以后也是。
可以看出很多地方还是想模仿叶问的，可惜剧本还欠打磨，人物，故事都稀烂。但是布景和镜头感还是不错的，作为网大来说及格吧。
题材成熟了，作品的下限就高了。6分有点富裕。但怎么着也不够8。得空看看没啥问题，专门看看不太值得。

节奏快，话题准，画面狠。
很多电影都不能走院线只是走网络真快，不是没有市场是没有足够的实力去，而且电影多了院线的拍片也少还不如走网络，网络也出了很多的好演员，比如赵奕欢
难得的一部电信诈骗犯罪的片子，骗子的套路和演技以及行骗的热情，看了觉得很可怕，现实生活就是这样的吧，希望天下无骗! 配角金贤秀把骗子的张狂和变态演活了……

见识到了如此大规模有组织的电信诈骗 真的让人防不胜防…所以遇到任何事一定要冷静 不能乱了方寸！
挺一般的，混入诈骗组织像小孩过家家一样，没有一点严谨的风格————无语

可以啊。第一次看虎门销烟的电影，之前都看的是纪录片
一个人干翻一个团，牛逼的有点过火了啊，题材好，下次别拍了
谢苗这些年的网大我必看，不仅打斗场面保持优秀，剧情也少有拉垮
韩国辣鸡影视剧又黑了我国一把，那些总是自以为是客观的影评，真是又蠢又坏！
电影的整体质感很好，调色和镜头都很有历史感，动作打戏、剧情翻转，是电影比较重要的看点。打戏很流畅，配合色调和镜头，很多片段都不亚于动作大片。电影并没有盲目追求涵盖整个事件，而是以小人物华继良为视角，而从小人物的角度去展现大事件，以小见大。剧情几经翻转，跌宕起伏。清朝的官，人都是感觉特别瘦！
电话诈骗题材，诈骗体系略显单一，但是有些细节还是有警示作用的，女主被骗到被撞真是有够硬的。。。
:林大人，我们所做的这些真的有用吗？
