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.
故事理得没有那么顺，但编剧思路很清奇，突破可突破的极限，也算是一种有惊喜的表达方式
前3/4还不错，场面和小情节的设计蛮好看，笑点很密集。可惜故事线和感情线两不相干，割裂感严重，完全可以剪成两部电影。父子俩最后的和解和交流也落入煽情的漩涡，整整11分钟的煽情戏啊，扣半星。感觉创作者想要好多东西，爱情讲一段梦想讲一段亲情讲一段，不会取舍；也因为姐姐的梗冲击力太强，后面很难再推上去了。演员方面，最大亮点是允儿，这种活泼、机灵、搞怪的角色因为和她本人性格接近，非常讨喜。
前半部分情节有点拼接式的散碎 但不得不说这一类的韩国电影对于深刻沉重的感情描述 总能以合理、有趣、生活的方式去表达 不矫情又恰到好处 很赞
后面就煽情过度，外加不明所以的就释怀了…
小人物的抗争才是每个普通人人生的主旋律。为韩影点赞！！
三星半。好久好久没有看过韩式催泪弹了。两个小时爱情戏少的可怜，但是父爱，姐弟情深倒是拍的落泪。。
7.5
李圣珉再一次贡献了精湛的演技，林允儿这个角色可有可无，表演也不出彩，是怎么拿到青龙影后提名的？看来韩国电影圈也开始有资本操纵了
韩国电影真的把类型片玩明白了。各种元素杂糅在一起，恰恰又不怎么违和。然后拿出韩剧的杀手锏煽情一顿操作后，成片效果还不错。
基调感觉像日影，经过韩式煽情包装后，催泪效果显著，还好是基于真实故事改编，不然就过度美化了。
女主可爱，爱情的部分又甜又老套，姐姐的部分都很感人，反而另一个重头戏父子情姗姗来迟，含蓄过度，毫无波澜
生出来就没妈，姐姐又夭折了，父子关系没有处理的很好，心里各有苦说不出，这样环境下的小孩，不是天才就是傻子，还好没那么惨。
去世的亲人还能照旧陪伴在侧，在嘻嘻哈哈的日常里打闹玩乐，男主其实是非常blessed的，真心羡慕。韩式小清新就是恰到好处，看起来拍着容易实际上细节都是由多少心血打磨而成，有“程式化”“套路化”的嫌疑又每一部都各有特色，看起来津津有味。
并没有太大的触动。但致力于为百姓解决实际问题，这男主还是有光环的。但韩国或许不侧重这一点。为了林允儿，没成想是个鸡肋！
虽然感觉故事很俗套，但就是觉得很好看，韩国片子现在也是独树一格，有类似日本片子那种偷偷渗透内心的能力，但又是完全不同的套路，说不清楚，只是感觉。
天才少年消沉于姐姐的死，不愿走出旧居和故乡，一心只想为家乡建个火车站。在阳光女孩的感化下，一步步走出心魔，走向NASA
生出来就没妈，姐姐又夭折了，父子关系没有处理的很好，心里各有苦说不出，这样环境下的小孩，不是天才就是傻子，还好没那么惨。
一个20来岁的年轻人能有这样沉稳的演技再加上文牧野就值得五星，这演技简直吊打一众流量明星。易烊千玺，前途不可限量
虎头蛇尾，跟韩剧一个德行。允儿还挺有少年感的，可惜少了点青春期的纯真，和男主也不太搭。
剧情有点拖沓，压缩在一个半小时差不多。一直觉得韩国拍温情片有一手，但是看完这部总感觉差点儿意思。也能看出导演的良苦用心，导致可能内容桥段塞的满满的而看得有点饱了…
