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.
仿佛看了一场话剧，谁能想到普通的老裁缝其实是个“扫地僧'呢。整部电影如同片名和全程的独白一样，适当的剪裁，细密的针线，把零散的线索缝制成套装。马克·里朗斯的演技于细微处见波澜，最后的动作戏再多发挥一些就好了。果然干裁缝的都是狠人
最后一段打戏是真的舒服，年度打戏top1。隔壁《灰影人》投资两亿美元，还不如人家这几分钟。
男主的個人演技與魅力讓這個單一場景小成本懸疑片更上一層樓，甚至有種為什麼這一切可以成立完全因為男主呀
有精致感的电影，真真假假之间马克里朗斯演技真是神了；在疫情期行业萎靡的电影小年里都可以锁定一个个人的年度十佳影片了。
相反冲突中的情绪张力十足，
⑤刻意塑造几个操着一口泡菜味中文的中国角色打酱油似乎已经成了近些年韩国电影的标配……
全片最好的段子是：“我们五五分吧？”“谁拿五啊？”
比1好看，1情节简单了一点。续集情节丰满些，反派更加残暴，打斗直接凶残，有看见恶魔里延边帮的风采！
3.5 出彩的地方有，不合理的地方也有，但不失为一部不错的室内剧，地点单一，情节密集，老裁缝不是一般人这一点，从里朗斯似有还无的演技表现中就可略知一二
能扛得住叔的巴掌或者普通一拳的猛男真的不多，第一部的优点在这部续集被发扬光大了，就是打打打，非常解气解压，爽就完了
3.5/5 期待將近5年的續集，絕對沒有比首集好，但維持著首集打好打爽打滿的暴力動作風格，還有拷問犯人時總是會有的戲謔喜感，續集仍舊值得一看（即便暴力尺度稍微下降），但是劇情比首集單薄，沒有像首集有那麼繁雜的幫派支線，查緝反派的過程自然也就沒首集精彩，這點有些可惜，首集吸引我的點就是馬大叔開掛的動作場面，還有查緝尹啟相飾演的非法移工的過程。續集的反派是孫錫久（再次提醒我要看《我的出走日記》），第一次看孫錫久演動作戲，看的出他很拼命也很敬業，最後和馬大叔在公車上的對決也是使出洪荒之力在打，打的非常精彩！期待第三集換李浚赫（徐東載）當反派，老早就覺得浚赫很欠打了（《秘密森林》入戲太深😂），期待下集他和馬大叔的對決。
“我让你查案，不是让你把他送走”笑死
全片几乎只有一个场景，靠大量近景和人物对话完成了一个精妙构思的悬疑犯罪片，有四五十年代黑色电影的遗风，又像是小舞台上的一出话剧。以西装裁剪的步骤来描绘地下世界的黑白争斗的轮廓，就像老裁缝自己所说，“经典永不过时”。
姜海尚（孙）刀挥得好狠，反社会得令人心颤。很多杀戮场面，很多血，怎么不是三级奇怪了。打架拳拳到肉，刺激，略超过我承受程度。不算爽片吧？坏人比较爽。
马东锡完美诠释了在绝对力量面前，一切罪犯都是纸老虎!
剧作过于刻意。单论爽度，最后几分钟装逼时刻还是够味的，不够看。马克里朗斯和霍普金斯的体态还有台词都如出一辙，都很优雅，里朗斯甚至赢在露脸少，多了一份新鲜感，神秘感
单一场景舞台剧类型电影，有瑕疵，但整体瑕不掩瑜，是不错的电影
感觉看了一部黑白老派70年代的电影。全片在一家裁缝店完成，太适合改成话剧了。开头的几个twist我还有点hmmm觉得嘴炮也太好骗了吧。结果适应节奏switch off把他作为一部谍战片来看以后真的非常精彩。演技设定剪辑都非常一流。
奥斯卡剧本提名保底。方寸之地见大阵仗，话剧的写法，一个个人物粉墨登场再一一退场，把黑帮你死我活的争斗浓缩在一间小小的斗室里，虽然有些情节上的小巧合（接电话之类）过于戏剧化，但小舞台大战争的戏剧张力使片子颇为精彩。
小成本单一场景却高潮迭起，老爷子眼里全是戏，个人年度前五已预定。Mark Rylance deserves this！
