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.
就是一部反派内部大乱斗！不过反派耶确实比黄政民的角色出彩
一定是影帝级别的演员，才能撑起这样的片子。
韩版的解救吾先生，其实还可以，人家韩国商业片要素都是攒齐的，剧本成熟
跟原版不太一样，剧情不合理，人物都很蠢，除了大明星以外。
还可以，不过，有些情节有点乱，是删节版吗？
遇到找你合影的人，友善一点。如果你是个明星的话。另外，韩国警察啊，一如既往的窝囊。
翻拍《解救吾先生》，但是韩国人就是黄政民演黄政民，朴圣雄演朴圣雄。开头还挺有意思的，绑匪上来就问了一个尖锐的问题：你和哪些女演员睡过。不过，后面就不行了，绑匪选角太差又太蠢了。其他的卡司完全配不上黄政民的咔。警察也总是不给力，所以，黄政民就又上了。黄政民又演了一部黄政民勇斗绑匪的犯罪片。
这才是合格的本土化改编。为什么海报晃一眼背影就知道是黄政民呢？真是奇怪，这个继宋康昊之后韩影最有魅力的男人。
黄政民最差的电影吧！！！！都是导演和编剧的锅
《解救吾先生》实在看不下去，这部勉强可以，但看韩国电影的节奏，就是忍不住的会动怒。
本片翻拍最不成功的地方，就在于依旧无法跳出韩国犯罪类型片的套路，而走出写实片的创作风格，反派一号神似王千源。
为什么不是绑架马东锡呢？说实话没有刘德华那个版本好看。
片名改了之后连故事的侧重点都改了 解救人质变成了绑匪窝里斗 最后还是自救的 不是警匪片了
翻拍版是典型的韩式惊悚片模式，有点太套路了，不像原版那样更有后味。
😥太难投入了，情节设置也很拉胯，导演果然还是退圈吧
一部结构紧凑，动作场面惊险刺激的韩国小成本电影，五星评价值得推荐，有机会肯定会看看国内原版《解救吴先生》。
6.5/10.翻拍自2015年的《解救吾先生》，大框不变，细节差很多。韩版为了更接近真实事件，请了黄政民做主角，让他自己演自己，这一点很不错，黄政民可以对位刘德华的，但韩版反派则远远不如王千源，警察的角色也不行。
我是真的没有认真看，也是因为真的不好看…纯韩式打斗戏，不知道和绑架有什么关系？
就这片这么多打3星的？我觉得因为黄政民可以给1星，不然这个片必须0分，韩国电影万年不变的日常黑警察，呵呵
因为是改编，和《解救吾先生》的根据事实改编就有质的区别了。那么就要看韩国人的想象力了，但是似乎也没多少，唯一好的地方就是黄政民扮演他自己。
