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.
事实证明再如何运用传统的基础剧作架构，也必须具有隔离的剧作逻辑。《东北告别天团》起了个非常经典的头，结果随着情节发展，人物动作逻辑就开始越来越飞，脱离常理。崔志佳作为影迷，脑子里都是香港或者好莱坞留下的痕迹，但这些都跟小品创作一样，都是碎片化的拼贴。抖出来一个个包袱，却全然没有能贯穿始终铺垫。最后强行反转也是在填逻辑的漏洞。轻松，笑了，也就是仅此而已。
笑点满满，又不只有笑点的电影。东北喜剧人半壁江山都来了~！崔志佳，导演真不赖
东北人面子大过孩子？没钱还把丧礼整这么豪华竟然不会被亲戚朋友骂？？？不会被其他老百姓戳脊梁骨？？？
煽那一下呢也不是不行，毕竟是个救赎的故事；实在无聊，能看，还行
很一般，不是所有人都能被改造好，有的人真的无可救药。
洗心革面，重新做人。给犯错且受到惩罚的人改过自新的机会没有错。
陪袁教练看片系列，果然这类喜剧演员转行当导演都会致敬经典。而且这种片的受众群相当广泛，被一个喜欢看快手吃💩类直播的同事推荐给爱看抖音电影快速讲解的袁教练就是精准推荐。
多给一星，是对佳佳的鼓励。能看出来他在努力认真地学习借鉴模仿。老鹰说得没错，当男主角太胖了哈哈哈。
你搁这烧水呢奥！师徒四人上西天！哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈啊哈！！！
而且编剧没有大毛病和漏洞，并且艺术家们见钱眼开的样子太过真实。
小电影挺有趣，想讲人生，也想讲歧视，还想讽刺社会现实，而且各个点都挖掘得不错。东北本土文化和意大利风情也融合在一起，最后的彩蛋也很巧思，佳佳有俩下子！前半段的包袱略显老套，同时佳佳太胖了，真的会影响观影效果，减减肥吧导演！

这才是国内喜剧片该有的样子，太喜欢了，有韩国那味道了，有搞笑有感动有人生感悟
创意加分，剧本真是拉胯了，除了堆段子没有对剧情和人物进行任何有效的编辑。
这部电影的优点就在你抖音刷的那几十秒钟里，不用怀疑。
鼓励一下，还是有不少小幽默的，我有点过于脆弱了，看喜剧片能看出眼泪来。
有想表达的东西，但是刑满释放人员重新进入社会的困难，罪犯的忏悔和救赎都没讲明白。主角和刀爷的重点故事也没挖掘透，没有一个人物塑造的完整饱满。但故事是个好故事，只不过需要雕琢。
老公选的片子，觉得他好粗糙，又有一点细腻。刑满人员的题材支撑我看下去的唯一一点。
放在东北喜剧网大里看，已经很不错了。但它始终不是一部电影，更像是一部加长版的小品或舞台剧。
6.2.和《烧烤之王》这种典型的商业喜剧完全不同，讲了一个喜剧外壳悲剧内核带点淡淡忧伤的小故事。几位喜剧演员都收起了平时的张牙舞爪，自然地讲了一个带点反转的故事。然而这种拍法也会让带着图一乐期待的观众失望。崔志佳还是有才气的，值得鼓励。迷影情结也不错。
