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.
比利小子一张照片就值天价，最后的枪战，可以的
故事很简单，结尾还来了一次反转，挺有意思的。老年比利小子重出江湖，老当益壮啊。
铁匠铺的男孩终于离开了小岛。

老亨利真的牛逼，相当有张力的电影。越来越喜欢中年大叔演的电影，真正有故事，国内那些小鲜肉看着就恶心
你要惹怒当农民的曾经杀手，那么你就会是被杀的那个人。
最后的真实枪战很棒！很想知道老亨利是怎么传奇过？坏人还是好人？
节奏是比较慢，名字以及设定开头便会知道最终结果是老亨利肯定要牛逼一把，至于怎样牛逼一把就是这个电影的重中之重。后半段还算精彩，没有令人失望。妆化是这个电影的另外闪光点。
I'm hoping you do.
前面节奏有点慢
人物三两个，个个都不同，男主老亨利是通过儿子的日常疑问与闯入歹徒的撒谎陪衬出来的，但仍然是用笔极简，后劲深长；电影叙事徐徐展开，挖掘出了一个隐没西部民间十多年的传奇。
光是比利小子这个梗就值四分，加一分给男主演技
美式武侠，隐居大咖。电影的氛围感营造的很好。
虽然我横行江湖，杀人不眨眼，但是我的后代是无辜的，有前途的，带着希望的#殖民地拓荒者后代眼中的祖先#
4星。很酷，在父亲节和父母一起看的父亲的电影
玩过大表哥，场景服装感觉很亲切。
硬核老派西部片，有血有肉，不宣扬，不做作。7.5+，多半分，敬情怀。
這種江湖傳說給我來100部！！過癮！！！
