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.
为朱珠前来，但是戏份较少，也并不出色，出色的部分在预告都播完了。全篇看起来比较老套，较拖沓。窦骁换身衣服后突然变帅，但是不能撑起整个剧情。
第一次看这种"剧本杀"式的故事，还挺新鲜的，几个反转也算有趣。
#点映# 反转连连，悬疑度一般，人物动机和关联度完全服务于剧本，在限定场景中完成度尚可，但经不起进一步推敲。隐藏主题有惊艳到，可惜后续升华不够强烈，最后的角色换装也过于刻意了。
《不速来客》与《扬名立万》有异曲同工之妙。密室空间，悬疑犯罪，略带喜剧，这个类型越来越有看头...可惜我们小城市之前拍片太少，没去影院看成
范伟为主角的电影，加上窦骁和张颂文，整个卡司还是很值得肯定的。看了一篇文章说这部电影，导演在电影表达上做了很多小动作，可以说在人物和人物之间，段落与段落之间建立了一种互文关系，这种互文又和不同人物的善恶选择相挂钩，这么看来这还是一部蛮多导演心思的作品。但是故事本身缺少新鲜感，插叙手法已经被用烂了，而前面揭穿人物的倒叙又增加更多迷雾的手法也显得太过刻意，让故事显着死板而臃肿，浪费了之前所谓了灵动的构建。 20211218
最后那个医院手环的暗示竟然不是说明小女孩是主角的孙女

❹这个破案的过程难道不值得再一部片子吗。
全靠时间线互相穿插的技巧撑起这部片，不然故事根本不吸引人。
配乐和转场流畅 整体还可以 但还是有点耍小聪明 并不算太高明 算是把悬疑片常用的反转和犯罪片惯用的人性流都一股脑用上了
故事很完整，悬疑部分也可以。只是从我知道张颂文和受害的女生不认识之后，情绪突然就掉下来了，后来好一会儿才又被吸引住。
后半段比前半段精彩，虽然瑕疵不少，甚至有几处硬伤，比如深夜爆炸无人报警和巨大冰块如何取出等等，但多线交叉的盖里奇式叙事表现合格，黑色幽默和反转也都产生预期效果。
像个工整的结构化黑色电影，可看性有，但总感觉差点儿什么东西。
有的片子就是哪儿哪儿看着都像那么回事儿。但拼起来吧，就差点意思。这种类型的影片典型的特点。就是片子的演员，都和他们上一某部戏里有点延续感。从而给观众带来一种破碎的观影体验。
开始略闷，这么热闹还能圆起来的国产电影现在的评分真有点离谱。春来老哥可以的，好角色摩多摩多。
为了反转而反转的片子，看了半小时感觉人物和台词立不住，整个故事都很刻意，的确很像剧本杀的感觉。但是我没玩过，所以也没啥兴趣。
非常合格的类型片，最大的优点就是最后剧情没有失控闪崩。
故事是个好故事，但是剪接的不行，不够流畅缺乏眼前一亮的惊喜，而故事本身有这个惊喜。
要是最后外卖员的戏份可以处理好就可谓升华了，但最后的最后还是邪不压正的一套，未免有些俗套了
多重线性叙事节奏，整个电影像拼图一样，每出现一个新角色，都会补出新的证据与真相来解释和掩盖故事的发展。结局暖心，看似最恶的人偏偏是善良的人，而最卑微的人也成了英雄。
