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.
旧人新纸十几里，黄泉知晓帝不知。面对这犹如一潭死水般的国家机器，如何才能一击做到振聋发聩？此片真是发人深省！
电影本身挺普通的，尤其部分恐怖片拍摄手法对电影主题以及结构造成了极大的割裂，这方面非常不喜欢，但电影所反映的内容其本身的现实意义和社会价值不言而喻，我们期待这样的电影有更多人拍、有更多人看，然后有更多人引以为耻、以此为戒…
作为基于三集英剧而改编的电影，我很喜欢本片对情节的取舍和节奏。Sandy实在太棒了！！女导演也是加分项！！
印度啊，电影拍出来了又怎样，结尾的字幕依旧揪心。不过，这片子似乎幼儿园老师很好当啊，小朋友都很配合。
“不只换来一场烛光游行”。至于吗？不至于吗？
内容大于电影。在宣传上，印度电影逐渐有韩国电影那味儿了，敢于“自黑”。
媒体家人家长警察几个身份并没有从不同角度起到任何作用 无聊
最后的字幕:在看这部电影的期间，有8个女人被强奸。。
韩片一般黑暗到让人感到绝望，而印度片却总是让人感觉好像还有点希望……
这剧情不意外，甚至有些狗血，但女主角的演绎和风格处理还是挽回了不少。
让人特别的亲切和舒服，感觉进入了文明社会~
女性平权问题任重道远啊
近两年印影愈发优秀了，里面的女性角色充满光辉
对于犯过错的人来说，社会只是个大点的监狱，而偏见是围困他们的铁笼。7
Everyone deserves a second chance for his accidental mistake.
中规中矩。受害者通过暴力行动推动高层正视体制问题，没什么新鲜事，节奏四平八稳。电影工作者的心肠滚烫，能提出问题也就尽责了。
厉害，印度电影已经达到这个高度了嘛。我是说尺度上探到达的高度。
倒是工工整整的，大部分时间挺套路，再狗血点就更像个韩国片了。桑德拉布洛克好努力。
故事并没有心意，导演也用尽套路，只是，一个敢直面自己社会问题的国家，是值得尊重的，电影三颗星，加两颗星，是给希望！
就冲阿三拍出这样的电影，尼玛到了最后再给你惊几下。步步升华，伦理上完美。
