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.
剧情的不合理，与道德的不苛求，是笑点的来源。
1、看完才发现本片翻拍自妻夫木聪主演的日本电影《魔幻时刻》。2、电影很有荒诞幽默的风格。灯光、布景的舞台剧风格明显，表情也比较夸张，也是话剧风。3、可能因为魏成功太想当男一号了，真的相信那没有摄影机也能拍摄的无稽之谈，别人就说他是傻子吧，以至于魏成功杀了哈维之后，吉米真把他当傻子逗。然而最后魏成功用自己当演员的经验，还是把米兰给救出来了。
PS：这部电影，可能是我看的四部里唯一没有锁分的，从开分的6.9到7.0再到现在的6.8，一个真实的分数。
马丽魏翔太好笑啦简直就是喜剧的模本，精彩的剧情和演技
5.三谷幸喜、星護的喜剧得去补一波
舞台形式的灯光与布景，这部电影的定位就是让观众想笑，当过年坐在身旁的家人皆然大笑时，它的喜剧效果就成功了！喜剧和春节就是绝配，过年的氛围就这么被拿捏了！
确实很好笑，优秀的是在于绝大部分笑点来自戏剧结构以及演员出色的表演。剧情节奏很稳，包袱也很稳，很轻松，但后面就有些许垮了就是。
我代表电影这门艺术求求你们别拍了，行不行！
即便结尾转成电影拍摄场景也依旧掩盖不了小品式的表演与拍摄风格，但即便如此，在小品日渐拉垮的春节档能带来不尴尬的欢笑已经实属不易了。
为男主打满分！为剧情打4分！哈哈，笑哭了好几次，可以的。
处处透着外行的廉价。如果男主角真的是一个沉浸式的演员，是不会因为枪太重而把它从箱子里拿出来，说后期做特效这种话的，也不会忘了所有的戏都是one take，这个人设根本没立住。
居然不是个大烂片，男主非常给力，秒杀马丽，影片致敬了很多经典电影，表现一点不拉夸，没有山寨的low感，不错不错૧(●´৺`●)૭
还好片尾有“魏成功”的鸡汤:
话剧电影，除了插曲《天才白痴梦》有记忆点，别的一塌糊涂
看完原片来看这个 真的觉得很烂啊 人物很唐突 笑点很低级 纯粹为了搞笑而搞笑 笑不起来啊
倒是片尾魏翔的真情流露蛮打动我的，即使是小演员也有做男一号梦的资格，他本身的经历完成了与角色的暗合。至于片子，还是略逊有沈腾撑着的西红柿一筹，但三谷的底子在，还是比李茶之流好不少的。麻花审美和电影感差的问题依然在，起承转合和各种致敬也用得生硬，尽管有几场戏还是好笑的，但这么搭棚、假定性上不动刀的拍，我不觉得这是麻花很用心的作品。能取得这么好的反响，也只能说是矬子里面拔大个、反衬今年的春节档整体颓势的表现了。
笑点不多，我先生记得最清楚的就是那句我不相信你会弹死我。
（最开始喜欢上魏翔是因为一部烂剧，包贝尔的那部《欢喜密探》，他在里面太出彩了，虽然戏份不多却足够我记到现在，也因为他演这么烂的剧而替他可惜。不过啊，还好，他被看到了。
5.当个博人一笑的小品看就行了，卖弄的表演风格也是迎合了长久浸染在媚俗的社会审美趣味的观众。戏剧电影重舞台，表演腔，跳脱现实本无可厚非。但改编，只是单纯的加快节奏、缩短篇幅、比原版更加通俗易懂，甚至看不出任何“有意义的再创作”意愿。作为电影，创作者更是不具备对电影语言使用的自觉。
超出预期！笑得很大声！也有更往上的表达，不易！
