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.
Captain, what's the price of freedom?

哪里有压迫，哪里就有反抗。毛主席说过，星星之火可以燎原。
只有女主受伤的世界达成了(嘛……
自由不是免费的。

和《盛夏未来》有一定共通性，都是介由男同性恋还在挣扎身份认同或者情感认同的视角，真正去完成的反而是另一个少女的成长弧光。虽然它整体都要做得更虚幻也太美好，比起站在学校礼堂公开演讲撑同志这种白日梦一般的剧情，电影里拍出异性恋对同性恋态度最准确、真实的地方，应该是男主跳楼之后的那堂讨论课，当他不在场的时候，所有人都可以重新假装云淡风轻、毫不在乎，但前提必须是，他不在场。
神尾枫珠老司机也下海，不过感觉没有在恋之月里那么投入情感。（都22年了依旧沉迷恋之月。（话说好多靠脸老师里的同学演员啊，神尾一会学生一会老师的，真的可以啊。（如果有BL星球，那神明一定磕疯了。（还有就是BL是BL，现实是现实啊……
2022049，剧本有些拖沓，如果按照枪战动作片看实属一般，但重点在于对南非的黑人平权运动的一个缩影版的解读，为了自由和平等就要要付出多大的代价
她喜欢的，是BL和他；他喜欢的，是男人和她，努力理解和自己不一样的人，可能真的是一件站着说话不腰疼的事，更何况是温柔以待
与其，在躲闪之间不被认同，
无语，基佬虽然骗婚生子但是他们很可怜啊！他们只是不想被说恶心啊！他们只是也想有自己的子孙啊！女人就活该做基佬尝试的工具人。分数是给神尾弟弟的颜值和肉体的，以及后t最近都接的什么奇怪角色…
2020我们以为是一场意外，2022年的春天，这又是一场被后世如何评说的当下呢
是接纳自我，重建内心。
他喜欢男人但也想跟女人有个家庭
历史剧，解放曼德拉的之战，虽是恐袭演变的银行劫案，人性和种族自由的抗争以悲剧结束。穿插一场告密游戏。
氛围感很好，国防部长的女儿是败笔，政府高官女儿同情黑人太假了。
建立在谎言之上的形象，都是假象。
自由的代价是一切。
无论他或她喜欢的是什么，也无论是你还是我，我们都只是出于对爱的渴望，我们没有犯错，我们就是这样的我们。
