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.
文戏部分稍显不足，但是瑕不掩瑜，诚意满满，值回票价！可以说是中国灾难片的突破之作，也只有中国才能拍出这样的灾难救援——毕竟国外没有救援=_=
玄幻型灾难片，有点对不起观众了...多一星给基建人员~
同一天看的特种部队：蛇眼崛起，我觉得峰爆应该教一下好莱坞怎么拍电影，美中不足是特效五毛了一些
还真是有趣。一方面看着两个男主的斗争 你会慢慢发现 这一切的背后导演才是最大控制者。从坐到菲利克斯腿上开始 到和太子女热吻 到粉碎他们的奖 她一直都是处于一个“我是幕后但我掌控一切”的位置 其实想想 让两个人反目逼出他们的最高演技水平 到获奖 这不过是她的一场棋局。另外 换个角度想 电影会让人总倾向于利用菲利克斯靠浑水摸鱼上位的事情讽刺娱乐圈 但有没有想过 其实菲利克斯本身是真的有硬实力 只不过花边新闻太多 让人有一种希望看到退朝后他其实在裸泳但一直被他人生赢家的光环保护着没办法打他脸的感觉。怪就怪伊万命不太好吧。
我是真喜欢黄志忠和陈数的，全片抓住了我没有开小差走神玩手机，有不足但是瑕不掩瑜，阔以！
作为一部主旋律的灾难片，可以打八分了
今天看完点映，很感动，铁道兵yyds，朱一龙跳飞机很帅，老洪值得尊敬
虽然男主有主角光芒，但是上阵父子兵的情节还是让我感动。还有突然对铁道兵这个行业肃然起敬，太厉害了！
带儿子一起看的iMax版，难得小子也认真看完了。国产灾难片拍成这样很难得了，有几个地方感动得泪目了，中国铁兵和建设者太伟大了。
这个徒手攀岩真是让我没想到啊，超人？然后这种大义的牺牲真的没有必要啊。明明可以谁也不牺牲偏偏就要…
给五星是不可能的，因为槽点太多了，给个四星吧，起码看的时候还是没有太难过，没有不停的想吐槽。
&朱老师那纵身一跃真是让我下意识“啥”出声
紧张，刺激，特效用在刀刃上挺好的。人物结局有点拉胯，加上有一点点的强行升华，瑕不掩瑜。
陪基友看的点映，前半段不错，后半段形而上学地瞎扯，全片配乐非常糟糕，结尾铁道兵致敬部分相当不错，决定十一出行改坐火车
第一时间看了点映，全程高能，特效牛逼，朱一龙演技炸裂让我刮目相看了。只是女主线有点多余了，两个人在一起的对手戏还没有朱一龙跟小陶红的多……
神的慈爱，才使人活。愚公移山，是感动了天神，派下夸娥氏二子搬走巨山。
太震撼了，中国式救援！电影特效和演员选角太棒了！感动，今年最喜欢的一部电影了！
4、铁道兵确实是中国建设中最艰苦，前赴后继牺牲最多的人，值得尊敬！
没报啥期待，也没啥惊喜。父子下水争吵那段真的挺出戏的，还有女主救小朋友唱山歌那段对主线来说也是废的，有这时间去刻画下群像不好吗？就灾难环节的节奏还有看头，不至于太拉跨。
故事结构完整，场面浩大震撼，信念汇聚成河，情感真实充沛。
