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.
也闪耀自己的光辉，
真的，多鼓励夸赞一下身边人吧。
优点是很中二 缺点是很二 光线做青春励志主题已经有了天花板 伸手就能够到那种 地下室却深不见底
三星半。你知道每一套套路在哪，结局是啥。工具角色是谁。事实证明，日本和台湾省的味道只要学会用好，至少合家欢在一起看电影不会觉得浪费时间。队长张伟的演员是个惊喜，几次情绪起来都超额完成任务。青春就是这样 青春浓墨重彩的一笔就是这样。一想到我的儿子也会在将来长成挺拔 傻了吧唧 拼搏 友情 荣誉感的小伙子，就越发开心。
本土化并没有水土不服，整体的叙事节奏很不错，看着不累。为了信念的奋不顾身，是少年心气的珍贵，是青春的一次试图飞跃，是想要为自己赢一次，很可爱的电影。
不为所动 名为普通。
因为并没有带着特别大的期待，反而是意外的惊喜。
最大的问题是结尾的男子花游，动作设计并不好看。究其根本花游很大一部分“花”在服装上，男子光膀美观度会差一些，导演因此再加了一段岸上的舞蹈继续煽情绪，但反而更尬了。这是视听和剧作拯救不了的，会让观众酝酿了很久的情绪损耗掉相当一部分。
成为谁口中的那个谁，可能还碌碌无为，即便你说我在痴人说梦
如果说 ，我的世界 不能等到 万里晴空，
7.5/10这类运动青春题材拍成这样算是很厉害了，虽说有原版的底子在，但本土化改编做的挺成功。
可爱！青春！搞笑！好看！很久没看到这种正常青春片了！
好看！遗憾没能去电影院看。轻松感人，瑕不掩瑜。
日影改编，本土化的很好。看完我去狠狠吃了一顿烧烤。
导演有一招特别厉害：最简单的短句在画面蓄势到极致时突然重拳一击，朴直无花哨直捣那些以为已经掩藏已经遗忘已经消失的柔软，瞬间泪目，又笑到破功！
三星半吧，国内观众对没有流量的片子还是不够买单（不过拿男主对标妻夫木聪是有点过分自信吧……），整个片子调色和剪辑都很日系，没有把到国内准确的喜剧类型也是票房扑街的原因吧。另外国产片取名还是要谨慎。
几个演员辨识度不太OK（也可能是造型原因），最后给我一泳池的小伙肉体也没法弥补前面太多段尴尬桥段，看得出导演是个恋脚Gay了，但疑惑一个Gay居然没把男性身体的美好拍好…
真不错，比预期好很多。当然只是在青春片里做比较哈。真是自然清新不做作，最棒的是选角，五个少年都很自然，这但凡要是用一个流量的话就绝对不是这个样子。
前半段节奏略慢，看到最后会发现确实值得到影院一看。 拍一行学一行，集训，表演，这才是制片的正确态度。不依赖替身 特效 慢动作，一时分不清是纪录片还是电影了！
好青春，根本没有卖腐，为什么还被黑？而且很有国内风格的改编，钱全花在制作上了，所以没钱宣传吧？
