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.
两个小时真就是纯靠范伟的神级表演撑着
开头还挺燃，中间节奏有点糟，结尾吧实在不喜欢这种莫名其妙1V1。但是有几个镜头，真的挺感人的。
几年前流量为王，于是成龙带着自己犯了事的儿子拍了部《铁道飞虎》，烂的不行。
徐州属于山东没跑了，这方言我听着忒亲切。只是我觉得相互之间并没有智斗的成分，堵上性命，往里抗。反派死于装逼。最后致敬抗战英雄。
综合：5.5
我终于知道莉莉为啥不想执导了。这啥玩应？WHAT A MESS（捂脸）。生动诠释了什么叫狗尾续貂，哦不说狗尾都是侮辱狗。开头还好，越到后越支离破碎，感觉是拍着拍着不想拍了。各种尬炒冷饭，镜头晃瞎眼，动作戏一塌糊涂。剧情上也毫无深度可言，就完完全全爆米花化了，WTF. 多一颗星给我家基努里维斯。
太无聊了，连煽情都没有，也就范伟的演技值一星……
太刻意了，主旋律最怕刻意。最难忘的是那个雪夜，大家对着玻璃上的党徽宣誓，真的是信仰和悲壮交织的感觉。
对较弱，剧情较为平淡，叙事点较分散，因此，即便有范伟、张涵予两位老戏骨撑场，影片也略嫌拖沓。。。
风格上还有点意思，内容上嘛……没啥可值得说的，还是主旋律那一套，张涵予算是定型了，和吴京并驾中国伟光正代表人物，范伟是真牛批，近乎封神的演技。
对我组织的基层建设产生疑问，为啥牺牲以后才追入呢～章程里面又没有名额限制，优秀的都可以吸收进来呀。每次这样的故事片，都要上演一段信仰的力量，我也不知道这是不是高级黑、低级红。反正我是想不通～
还行啊，没想到分数这么低，起码故事讲完整了，我要求不高
常识性错误都有，连云港是1953年才起的名字
2.8 主旋律同行衬托下，居然觉得能看，但也没有很好看，大概是因为还属于类型片的框架。这个故事真是各处偷懒，能简单就简单。行动之间的连接很松散，所有事件都没有延伸。故事偷懒，情感传达也偷懒，护士和火车司炉两个角色应当承担抗日精神的种子功能(周也，你为何笑得如此灿烂），也表现得不完整。比较好的设计是让日本军官和老王的办公点隔空相望，从物理空间上体现两人在两方对决中的统筹地位；服道化比较贴近角色职业，最起码不是八佰里的三七分精致大背头
别看台词那么多，人人都变成话痨，但其实内容没啥营养。
这玩意的真正片名应该叫《黑客帝国22周年重聚特辑》
果然像我之前预测的，这已经算不上是狗尾续貂了，比蹩脚的同人小说更惨不忍睹。就像一个浓妆艳抹的广场舞大妈一次次向共舞的不同老头吹嘘着自己年轻时候如何芳华绝代，挑动着半永久文眉，轻佻而香艳之间，涂在额头和满脸的雪花膏渣子掉了一地。
铁路题材电影，加上真实历史背景，虽然评分及格线，但还是去影院看了，话说津浦铁路沿线以前这么多雪吗，你不说我还以为故事发生在东北。铁道大队这样的历史题材已经很好了，但还是艺术创作部分太重，张涵予和范大叔真的荧幕表现太优秀了，以至于看不到其他演员，范大叔扔手雷那个动作本年度最帅，另外还是有弱化对手的感觉，反派死去话多和耍帅，故事细节太少了，战争片总是想通过对抗和爆炸的特效来表现，其实认真讲故事也很好啊，内容有点空，剧情起伏太平。
前半部都在搞其他事没怎么看，后面柔弱的我为范围哭了两次
日本军官的反派应该是具备了反派的要素，总体与《功夫》里斧头帮的大哥串戏。侠客式的电影，观影过程中总有一种中国西部片的感觉，缺少一个整体的爱国情绪。
