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.
两个人一起吃饭（热聊）的桥段我能看一万次、孙锡久什么神仙“我挺大的吧”哈哈哈哈哈哈
俗套爆米花电影，想讨论一些议题却又走向罗曼史。
作为励志体育片奋斗描写的太少，爱情体现的太多，好像华纳是靠天赋和运气获得的成功一样。
人生啊 主角配角龙套都做才有意思 喜欢全钟瑞
韩国版《爱情神话》。小品式的爱情一定要靠演技支撑，孙锡久魅力王者。
拍拍贫乏都市的话痨片，但是不是韩国也是县城感么，就乡村爱情。女主大概就是中医肾虚血虚感。但是男女主中间喝酒聊天的戏拍的非常有意思，金句频出。
虽然故事老套，但表演很到位，以及可以看出想要表达的女性独立的思想
韩式成年人的反套路爱情甜品很久没看了，还不错
励志典范，哪怕看不懂橄榄球，依然为影片传达出的力量感到激情澎湃。
孙锡久的问题是类型化了，到了这种稍微有点懵懂落魄的人设，就变得演什么不像什么，总感觉他成竹在胸扮猪吃虎，违和呀。
不好看吗???这种爱情轻喜剧最近狠得我心啊……
合格的都市男女片，从头笑到尾，金句输出也有了，约炮见面聊天喝酒的那种速食关系刻画的可圈可点，最终的，磕到孙锡久了啊！
把勵志劇情主要放在場外而不是場內比賽，這點做得好。但全片毫無表現力，很普通
不过都市爱情剧情给出了 现实恋爱的观感
触及话题很现实啊，现在要找个能安全XJ的男性真的太难了，但就电影的呈现来讲，剧情不咸不淡，是我看完就忘记的类型
两位演起这种爱情戏简直是信手拈来 故事不算新奇 但化学反应很妙
我得再看五遍电话才能把姐姐在我心里的形象从这无聊片子里解救出来
看的过程频频皱眉但还是想：应该有这样的人类，他们有性无爱且能做到宾主尽欢……但已然想到反转了（就很俗套）
好帅气的女主角，诠释了另一种爱情模式，会开黄腔的女孩子果然无法阻挡，对“三十而立”重新认识了
a man gonna do what he has to do，before he could do what he wants to do. 注定要成为剧本的人生
