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.
看的不知道是不是对的版本，感觉音画不同步，观感不是特好。男主出场的bgm太出戏了，4.5吧
没找到好的翻译，观感体验很差，需要了解一下印度的背景知识才能看懂
美国应该去印度追究人权反人类罪，不分青红皂白的打老百姓
大概 是因为自己没有 所以 特别羡慕那些 有的人吧
为啥少一颗星呢，紧张程度还是少一些。全靠剧情支撑。印度黑暗，一点点再改变，希望我们也是。
speechless... but there is hope and justice. ironically though, in blackwater, it takes years in a modern western world. and then there is also
没感觉出有什么独特之处，强烈建议印度电影出一个海外剪辑版，精炼一下，现在这个版本太啰嗦，太冗长了。
司法独立，警政腐败，选举政治和种姓制度，将这么多敏感话题融合在一部电影里，又能详略得当的都照顾到，印度电影水平真令人佩服。
印度版《辩护人》。首先赞扬一下印度电影人一直以来一丝不苟的工匠精神，虽然这也可能与国情有关，但这满满当当将近三个小时的无拖沓剧情，没有一丝的多余剪辑，真是让人肃然起敬。
少数族群底层人民的苦，官僚群体相互串通的恶，正义人士无偿助力的善，让一个你看着毫无希望的印度有了某种星星之火可以燎原的可能。就电影本身技术角度而言并不算优秀但这个题材和胆量是我们不会有的。天下乌鸦一般黑，只是有的叫了，有的沉默了，有的是哑巴。
“受害者得不到公正造成的伤害比他们遭受的不公正还要多”
问:3万亿，17万亿，23万亿，三个以美元计价的经济体有何不同？
罪犯不精明，案件也并不惊天，但是印度推进剧情的能力太厉害了，节奏掌握的游刃有余，急缓张驰有度，慢的唱歌，快的燃爆的BGM，让你两个多小时视听都被牵着走！
根据真实事件改编的电影总是更令人动容，很多法律的颁布背后都有为此付出代价的人。还好虽然他死了，但是正义还在，他的妻子和孩子得到了很好的安置。那个人权律师也真好，6年处理了96000个人权案件。但是印度电影每次时长都好长，而且看的翻译版也是好奇怪，很多翻译都不通顺。
印度版的《辩护人》？1995年背景，没有人权的低种姓部落，数代都是饱受歧视的“不可接触者”，拿不到居住证、游离于社会之外，可以被随意安上罪名被捕入狱虐待殴打，真的太惨了哎哎哎，女主痛苦的演技到位，恨得我想把那几个黑警扒皮抽骨
三星半。题材先行。男主的塑造深得天朝主旋律精髓，过于伟光正，几乎没有任何缺陷，人挡杀人佛挡杀佛，所有问题都很快解决。反倒是低种姓部落的塑造非常真实动人，暴力的呈现非常直接与震撼。
这句响亮的口号喊出了印度历史上第五种姓的变革。
尽管我软弱凑合提不起个，但每每看到这种故事，整个人又都支愣起来了。追求正义的人那么耀眼！
也确实会让人想到我们的九十年代是什么样？
（要是不突然跳舞，我会打5星）
