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.
三个演员还是不错的 现在这种玩结构的小成本悬疑片太多了 这个技巧一般 逻辑不错 人贩子那里破防了 都是王八蛋
外卖员这个角色一直在反转 挺有意思
剧本杀，而且全员恶人。许多情节看似突兀，回想起来确实又交代过，想玩黑色幽默吧又不具备那个艺术细菌，新晋导演的牛刀小试，勉强及格了，6.0/10。
三点五分，小成本，螺蛳壳里做道场，但是不够彻底，故事勉强说得圆，但人物没有更多延展，基本是范伟带着窦骁飙戏，几处bug让你感觉导演在写实与荒诞之间疯狂试探，但最终还是在现实中束手就擒。
不断的反转，剧本杀，狭小空间，悬疑。

最后感慨一下全民脱贫政策的伟大，希望这些苦命的孩子们能够逃离这类命运。
视听语言太差了。整个片子都在筒子楼的封闭场景里拍摄，把视听的问题放大了，直接剥夺了闭环叙事里抽丝剥茧的乐趣。
像个工整的结构化黑色电影，可看性有，但总感觉差点儿什么东西。
每出现一个新角色就来一个反转 有点意思 真正的小成本大回报 窦骁好好一陕西人怎么是加拿大籍啊？范伟交易那一段 内心戏丰富 自带笑点 可以推荐呀呀呀
好！看！虽然我日常迟到5分钟。。。不过这种不断重复的叙事方式好适合悬疑剧哦 而且反转一直有 完全不无聊 点映看的太值啦
认识的人写的本子，被邀请去看了包场，有一些曲折发生，倒也无伤大雅。说实话，如果不是被喊去，应该不会主动去看这部，不过看下来觉得真的还不错，可惜窦骁这个人物没立柱。
作为悬疑剧还算是合格的，但感觉后面有点滥用升格了。
完成度非常高了，而且成片的多视角的来回时间线叙事使用的这很到位，但是这个底确实不够味道，前面的剧情在制造层层上升的紧张气氛，最后的底收在外卖小哥上实在对不起前面，感觉让人一泄如注，成为全片的命门，否则就是更好的佳作了，看来编剧编到这里也是黔驴技穷了。另外就是范伟的演出实在很棒。
最近这种结构的电影很多，不过我觉得就整个剧情，每个演员，还有电影画面，都属于最近拍的比较好的作品，不过于用力的故事也会是好故事。
比较好的国产悬疑片，跟之前好的悬疑片比差一些，跟同期其他电影相比还算可以。剧情再丰富一些就好了，窦骁的杀人犯身份暴露有点早，晚点出现新闻就好了。
剪辑是想在时间线上下功夫而增加悬念，可总感觉还是乱乱的....还不如彻底做成《记忆碎片》那般.为老范点赞。
小惊喜，喜剧搭配悬疑还带着点惊悚的杂糅片，没什么大bug，整体尚能及格。
黑色有了，逻辑还是不严密；结尾要停在冰块儿那，然后电脑哥被锁死就很银河映像了（这被绳之以法的结尾虽说是必须，但当年[毒战]不还有个全员阵亡的可选项先例么）；复刻[低俗小说]桥段不有趣，因为台词太“实用主义”了
白切黑的确很窦骁，大明白一个。其他的就乏善可陈
