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.
挺进师精神太值得歌颂了，它会影响很多人在面对人性抉择和艰难困苦时的做法，给大家带去无穷无尽的正能量！
主线很清晰但剧情之凌乱，剪辑之混乱，令人一头雾水。炸药包哪里来的，子弹永远打不完，上岸之后还有火柴抽烟，都很经不起推敲啊。
在军令面前的挣扎和死亡，牺牲的都是活人，聚焦在个体的苦痛中。
这部影片很值得肯定，不止阐明了浙西南革命精神，也再次提醒我们家仇国恨不能忘，革命英雄永垂不朽。
怎么讲，虽然很流水账，虽然有些情节对小说的影像化还原也不尽如人意。但看完之后总还是觉得有韵味。不少画面过了好几天还在脑海里回放。音乐拿出来反复细听也绝对是用心之作。池田屋一段改编哈巴涅拉简直神来之笔。佩服佩服。
太流水账，文戏居多，战争场面偏少，场面调度和剪辑很弱
这部另类的战争片充满了新鲜感，非常吸睛，入眼的先是水墨画般的壮丽山河图，再是战争的残酷，层层递进之下更容易代入角色中，更容易理解战士们的心理变化，沉浸感很强。
浙西南独特的方言很有美感，听在耳朵里是一种享受，虽听不太懂但不妨碍我能理解他们在说什么，他们说：祖国放心，我们会奋战到底。
😤累了…这个剧情 这个节奏 我全程看英文配音给我整笑了 好想离开这个国家

48小时内炸毁敌人的弹药库，这样一条近乎赴死的军令，在这种时刻深刻考验着人性与信仰的抉择，这个议题本身就很有重量。
对于我这种通过剑心和银魂才知道新选组的人来说，冲田总司真美啊（美人多死于肺结核吗，残念。。。。两个多小时就当看新选组的目录简介了，五棱郭买的土方岁三的香袋还是好香好香啊
9分。这个阵容就注定了表现力和角色塑造的高水平，土方打戏超强慢放抠细节也是行云流水的舒适，镜头配乐也很有质感，放在大银幕上视觉效果应该很爽（暗示）。再说缺点，两个半小时真的容不下原著那么长的篇幅，整体节奏太赶太碎，目测有很多地方拍了但限于时长放不进去，对新选组历史不提前做好功课的话想要完全看懂难度不小。如果分成上下部来做，多点镜头放慢节奏把故事讲好应该会好很多吧（
土方口述生平。电影本身算大制作，最后的鸟羽伏见战役花经费做大场面了。但出彩的点又很难说上，事件描述的侧重不明显。有流水账之嫌。
一个烂的没救的本子和一些努力在拯救本子的好演员。土方牌摄影机和一堆在仓促的剧情里来不及认是谁的人。打开燃剑之前我真的没想到世界上有人能把池田屋到五棱郭压缩进一个小时。角色吧也没足够的背景剧情支起来，剧情吧连个合格的流水账都不算。原田监督很会拍人，但别自己做编剧了谢谢。
喜欢这部影片老胶片式的质感，让挺进师的故事更真实，观影就像亲历战争。
（冈田准一在关原演石田三成还行，到这里演土方岁三好像都是短板，前期光顾着看他怎么能这么土，后期光顾着看他身高实在不行。。。。）
有一些改编不太喜欢，司马辽太郎应该不会这么写，大概是导演编剧跟庆喜有仇把他写的那么夸张？平助不是土方砍死的，池田屋杀阵好敷衍，是我看过所有新选组有池田屋场景最敷衍的一个版本，山崎烝的话痨，乡下版土方小碎步的走路方式总觉得很不土方，总之导演刻意要加一些喜感的元素反而很画蛇添足，局长和副长的身高差大概是全剧最欣慰的部分
浙派的美学镜头是极富艺术魅力的，光影变幻间留足遐想的空间，冲击力很绝。
