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.
律师真是一个神圣的职业。尤其是那些为底层人民摆脱冤狱，痛苦的律师。无论哪个国家，无论案件大小，都值得大家的敬佩。
看过之后，没有感受到谁是特别令人震撼或者说感动，倒是觉得最终沉冤得雪最大的功臣应该是法官高度正直和明辨是非。感觉这片子把正义的化身过多的赋予了律师，而法官的决定性作用弱化到理所应当，这显然缺乏说服力。如果公正法官的表现是常态化的，那打赢这场官司其实并不特别难；如果法官顶住了很多压力，坚持给予公正审判，不卖人情不同流合污，那法官才是更值得描写的英雄呀！
所谓公义基于法律和良心。即使展示悲剧，也避免了发生更多的悲剧。何用避而不谈，粉饰太平。不存在绝对的黑，也永远有追求公义之人。敬佩那些推动社会进步的人。
故事很不错。人物塑造方式和整体的叙事方式实在太过时了。一个政治事件，法制宣传被拍成了浪漫叙事的个人英雄主义。对这种毫无思辨，嚼碎了喂的观众讨好型叙事接受无能。
呜呼哀哉，种姓歧视和种族隔离何时可以真正消除？又有多少个无辜之人可以遇到天神下凡？每个人真的都有人权吗？公检法真的为人民吗？又一印度神片之一，可最让人悲伤的竟是真实故事改编。
说起来，似乎没见过我国有这样的法庭电影，即便是宣传性质的也没有，一切都靠罗翔。
极其纯粹的感动。种姓制度，想改变了这么多年，尚未成功。未来更遥遥无期。但是这不代表是泯灭人心的借口。每个为他人的人，都值得被尊重。我们人的基因里刻着“利他”。希望时刻提醒自己，保持善良保持谦卑。爱人悯物。
中国也有，别装理中客了，摸摸良心吧，总有一天你们会需要的，铁拳之下众生都是刍狗。
片里那种宏大bgm的半喜剧效果真的产生奇异的效果。我们对这种黑暗习以为常，对希望却表现出各种不适应
可惜看的配音版，也许正是因为剧情很好猜所以才更可怕吧
印度电影和韩国电影敢于刺破黑暗的这份勇，真的令人肃然起敬！
印度版《辩护人》，剧情真实，但依旧非常不习惯歌舞。当然，不敢对比。
用力过度的水准可以和韩国掰一掰手腕，煽情太过是减分向，人物都是工具性的，最大的力量是根据真实事件改编，不过也许真实比电影里的煽情更令人窒息。
故事确实不错，各种有背后深意的镜头语言，要是歌舞再少点就更好了
法律本应是光
某国至今拍不出律政片，原因可不仅仅在审查啊
钱德勒律师的行为是高尚的。但是作为一部影片，过于超级英雄的描绘，又回到了印度电影最喜欢也是最擅长的造神模式。不是说这种包装不好，只是深知“本来就没有什么救世主”之后，总感觉略有不妥。外加核心案件中，三坏警的失误过于低级，使得整个抗击过程都仿佛撞了大运一样，很难看到这个烂透的体系。
人性的公平和法律的公平是世界的希望！影片用力还是有点猛，和辩护人还有很大差距。敢于揭露黑暗的影片，以后也许只是奢望了。
看了n部日剧后改印度片换换口味，听说是小众高分片，片名着实劝退（个人预感这部在若干年后也许会像《五杀瞒天记》和最近重火的《魔幻时刻》后突然火了），但实际却非常震撼。像印度版的《辩护人》，但感觉本片更胜一筹。还分了两天才看完，第一天没看完以后就去搜剧透看仨人到底怎么了。ps.律师演员很帅。不过看了影评才知道电影结局给美化了，现实的结局跟电影还是相去甚远。
想起之前刘庸拍的加尔各答一镜到底街景，
