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.
出乎意料的好看，看得出成本低，但导演和几个主要演员都是用心了的！一镜到底很赞！
Clutch or Kick！男主真厲害。就是鏡頭搖得太厲害了。
一镜到底的动作片还是很有看头，就是动作还不够爽。
影片立意很新颖，前半段几次反转算得上精彩，虽然设定上还是有一些bug。每个人内心深处都有自己甜蜜的回忆，如果可以，你愿意生活在回忆里吗？
枪战部分很棒，潜入节奏惊心动魄。除此之外没亮点了，剧情薄弱，一镜到底看晕
斯科特·阿金斯，绝对是值得关注的一位好莱坞明星。
镜头“推拉摇移”很随性……很多长镜头，但这样的伪DV模式据说拍摄起来很有技术难度，要求各个层面都有一定高度。所以这是一部被表面低估的作品，分数低也有可能是剧情短板吧。
看的时候感觉阿金斯有演John Wick的潜质
一个镜头1小时05分。这场面调度能力可以和1917比试比试了，资金不足才没能有更大场面吧。很爽的电影！ 呃，除了两场徒手格斗有点拉胯……
三星半。最后的打斗居然看出来一点疾速特攻的感觉。
就是太无脑了，手持摄影晃得头晕。
《1917》以后，大家都开始 one shot了！虽然场景不大，但人员、动作都比《1917》多多了，所以即使故事情节简单，也还是拍得不错了。一镜到底的难度在于现场调度，但能增加电影的真实感，以后这种类型估计会越来越多......但设备要求也会高很多，摇来晃去的镜头太伤眼！
终于理解了为什么现代人沉迷于毫无深度可言的娱乐。因为真的是太累了，累到大脑无法思考，只能追求纯粹的感官刺激。比如，高三上学期期中考试结束后去资料馆看《船续前行》，半小时内就睡着了。更何况我本就喜欢通过看动作片来减压，像本片这样男主能打，女主不作不圣母，配角（大部分）给力，还有出彩的监狱长的电影，在一味政治正确的当下更显得尤为可贵。一个字：爽。
剧情感觉硬伤很大 女主双商在线怎么就那个结局 汗 不过回忆时互诉衷肠还是很感动
运镜真不错 有一种身临其境的感觉 武器道具特效声效都不错 虽说是一部小成本但绝不粗制滥造 里面几个掩体后面的射击动作战术布置近战都不错的，看主角最后爆炸输出 缺点就是敌人降智
两个人爱的水深火热居然没有互留手机号，老鸨带着头牌也来加塞了，头牌爱老家伙死去活来花钱反复重温床戏，却也没有和他互留手机号，刚开始以为刻意把末世写成没手机的了，最后居然又拿着手机作为证据。总之只是用末世科幻包裹了一个平庸幼稚俗套的爱情故事，而这个壳子可以完全不要！
枪战场面比较有代入感真实刺激，就是不明白弄这个傻X二货回DC 有个球用，为了凸显主角光环其他队员女配有点挂得没啥意思，另外枪战片通病反派乌合之众绵绵不绝，一匣子弹永远够用

相隔三米的墙角对战，
[视]导演豆网首部及格作品，手持摄影，一镜到底，场景局限，阵容较差
