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.
开头入戏很快，中间一大段绑架过程和寻找真相的过程显得非常寡淡，没有啥悬念，也没觉得紧张刺激，按说这一块按宝莱坞的处理方法，可以非常精彩。感觉编剧在这一块有点问题，可能把精力都放在了细节雕琢上了。这个案子滴水不漏，几乎没有bug ，反而显得小心翼翼，放不开手脚。不过这种苦心经营，在结局的时候还是颇有成效。像强奸犯司机，从开篇要求送蛋糕时就被女主算计，中间多次呼应，最后真相时很意外，又极合理。再比如女主提出的最后一个要求虽然没有直接给出，但警察的配合很明显。
要么是看此类电影少，要么是看印度电影少！电影本身只能是中规中矩以上~7分
其实电影还有不少刻意的地方，甚至刻意的翻转，但是节奏把握尚可，而且叙事也能由浅入深。所以给个意义分也不错。
it's all about justice.
影片的立意很好，就是拍摄手法和《迫在眉梢》太相似了。。。
论如何揭开一个犯罪，那就用另一个更大的犯罪！有点类似“长夜难明“讲故事的方法，紧凑感不足，力度不足，结果也过于美化
一个人最终会变成什么样，整个社会都是有责任的
社会一直都有许多黑暗面，不让报道、探讨和揭露，黑暗面只会越来越多!
难得的一部没有歌舞的印度片，印度片质量越来越好了。除了片尾的煽情之外，其他细节等都处理的很好，演员表演也不错。
配乐和镜头都比较刻意 故事推进还可以吧 主要是主题好
这部电影剧本完全可以被拿来当《误杀3》的母本。不过相对的妇女维权且控诉强奸罪行这一主题貌似也只适合在印度上演。电影主要赢在敢拍，诉求掷地有声，弱势女性站起来了。但是bug也不是一般的多。总体而言还是不错的电影！

有社会问题 有承载社会事件的媒介 就是没有电影
看完心情有些沉重，社会对女性的关爱确实少了些，女主即使身患抑郁症还是带给小孩子开心，不忍伤害他们。
我不同意这个提案！！！处以死刑太便宜他们了，直接处以宫刑更为合适！！！
对于印度人敢说敢干这件事，我是服气的。一方面，他们什么都敢干，另一方面，他们还真的什么都敢干。

虽有瑕疵，但这个真的作为女性，我一定要打5星，希望更多的人看到。为啥印度这类的片就拍的很好……立意真的，太重要了
整体还行，就是有些逻辑设定有点降智，然后就是这个背景乐，为了悬疑而悬疑。立意是很好的。
印度电影常常有种压抑了太久太久后喷薄而出的愤怒。可能没有哪个国家会像印度这样追求平等而苦苦不得的国家吧。追求平等会是个漫长的过程，漫长到有时候你会觉得呐喊并无意义。
