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.
至少在电影这个行业，我们现在是被印度这个“拥有13亿人口的大国”远远甩在后边了，望尘莫及。
题材大胆，多重反转，已经很好看了，秒杀如今的一众国产电影
【B-】敢拍，会拍，但本质上还是套路化的印度犯罪庭审片。
前面稍微有点拖沓，精简点会更好。后面一个半小时直接起飞，全程无尿点，看的头皮发麻。
且不说这部电影拍得多好了，咱们国家是说都说不得，更别说拍电影了，笑死。
“正义警察”严惩凶手，民众狂欢。
一开始觉得印度出的很多电影都是他们yy的，毕竟现状并没改变多少，但至少敢拍。种族歧视、媒体操纵等都提到了。最后说一句：全世界的zheng客都很贱
印度电影也跟随韩国电影的脚步，安上了飞翔的翅膀
法庭那段好厉害 不过男主没胡子好普 有了胡子带着专业能力加拄拐的反差有种运筹帷幄的魅力
片头光感谢的名单就放了2分钟，注定了这是一部不简单的片子，自编自导自演，太敢拍了，政治、阶级的遮羞布统统撤掉。第一次160分钟的片子还嫌短了。
目前来说，今年最好的电影来自印度、有创造自由的国家值得尊重，能把问题摆上台面拍成电影推动的是整个社会的进步！最后不得不说，年轻人失去血性是最大的悲哀。这条路有尽头吗，我们都像这个世界的傀儡—歌词的绝望，希望也孕育而生…
阿三真正的开始崛起了，至少可以自我审视。电影的黑暗是为了现实的光明。有的地方电影只拍光明而是掩盖黑暗。
我对印度电影一直不关注，之前很讨厌那种运动励志片。但是他们没有严苛的审查。题材很丰富。可以说不同的内容。这样也有助于创作者的创新和故事的饱满。
法理和人情的平衡永远摄人心魄，尤其是议题还涉及女性公知，强奸，烧尸等，就更能点燃公众的愤怒和道德感。然而结果正义的前提要有基本的程序正义和事实基础。不然大众的善良就会成为被煽动的工具。印度很多影片都聚焦法律制度，种姓制度等社会议题，具有很强的社会责任感。不过影片前期的铺垫太长，前四十分钟都在铺垫学生造势和反抗热情，虽然为剧情反转蓄力，但仍然显得过于冗长，有后面紧凑的节奏会更加分。
节奏紧凑，剧情不紊乱，那些觉得乱的人你是一点都没静下来心来看电影。能看到这部电影的优秀之处，所要表达的女性地位、教育制度、民众愤怒、舆论和媒体引导，都在剧中起着一定的作用。再怎么说，起码人家有这样的电影，我们没有。
民众日常被zz摆弄而不自知，教育系统是潜移默化的洗脑，一部电影多角度讽刺，法庭辩论的部分是想要起立鼓掌的程度，总的来说意义大于电影本身，五🌟（革命万岁！
纪实了一些东西吧。里面反应的社会问题有很多，也符合我国情况，不过这些问题我们已经意识到了，至少已经关注到了，所以没有收获。
但，它同时有着不能深究的故事逻辑，略微混乱的故事线，以及表面且杂糅的故事议题。
印度正在发生深刻的变化，此片加上上周迎来的第一位底层女总统！
