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.
本来深圳年轻人拼搏的创业史挺有故事性和某种教育意义，结果编排的时不时跑偏，比如刚被开厂子提起兴趣，转眼却无谓摆起了婚宴而瞎耽误工夫，包括什么扒车啦、母亲病逝啦诸如此类，唉
作为00后易烊千玺真的是前途无量啊！年轻一代除了他没有谁能单独撑起一部大制作的优秀电影了
奇迹好看！
煽情又励志的好故事，但从头煽到尾再来一针鸡血不怕把观众腻到反胃吗？
本片讲述了养蛊之城的赌徒是如何凭借贵人爸爸成为人上人的。
残酷又温暖的一个故事。电影前面是现实，结局是奇迹。
电影的魅力就在于即使戏剧化掉，也能把观众带入其中，这不就是一般观众想要的电影么~
出色、热血并且工整，甚至愿意为工整再多打一颗星。我们太知道在国产电影这种鱼龙混杂的环境下把电影拍得丰富又精准有多难。一部成功可能是偶然，两部就是有实力，文导真的很厉害。
看了让人想上班赚钱的电影哈哈哈 很适合春节看
画面很像电视剧，有些地方看着想制造笑点，但却是尬的。
非常好看，喜欢文牧野的快速剪辑镜头，信息量非常大，然而交代剧情一丝不乱井井有条。这个片子类人物传记，一开始看完以为是有原型的电影，易烊千玺可以拿影帝了。
易烊千玺的演技还是非常棒的。题材也很适宜。最后Beyond的海阔天空太感人了！
中间段落太让人绝望了，也稍显刻意，不过整体不错，虽然我们都知道结局，但过程更重要
奇迹好看！
即使放在13年的大环境，还是感觉情节突兀，如片名所示，剧情真的很“奇迹”，或许把背景设置再早个十年还能感觉有些合理性，但那个时间段不符合造梦时期，白搭；给小人物设计了这么多苦难，但是为什么活着要这么用力呢？写字楼的工作其实不也是打工人嘛；一悲一喜的团队建设，可是还是有情节堆砌加MV配乐狂煽情的感觉，小人物的团队庆祝成功都只能在拥挤窄小的电梯里，实在是太压抑；易烊千玺的表演还是差一点（五百万时），章宇就露了几次脸还是特别好（哪个地方的口音啊？）。
在每一个筋疲力尽的时候，撑住！在每一个苦不堪言的时候，挺住！不要放弃，可能真的有逆风翻盘的那一天！这是一部让人感动哭又欣慰笑的电影，易烊千玺的演技又一次质的飞跃！很棒！
不得不说，四字的演技真的愈发成熟了，过程我觉得很棒，剧情也有跌宕起伏，有欢笑有泪水也有拼搏，最后结局太过于happy ending了也可以理解，春节档电影嘛，但是说实话，拍到电梯那段大家释放内心压力就可以结束了，后面的演讲完全多余，搞得好像每一个人物都是有现实人物对应的…
反正我是太喜欢了。隐忍克制隽永的西部片是最偏爱的那一种。文明与野性、母爱与父权、权力与情感的对峙缠绵纠缠，最后都在自身的欲望和偏执中难以厘清。非常喜欢那个转换，男人和第女人驻足看着茫茫荒野，男人说天地之间不是孤身一人的感觉太好了，镜头转到另一个男人于狭小空间独自弹琴的咬牙切齿孤寂。简皮恩其实很决绝，在以为要和解的时候，她选择了一种非常现代性的弑父。
（表白追风少年）
结局的理想化减弱了过程的艰辛，除了结局，整部影片很写实很细节，有点强行煽情（逼我流泪），不知道为什么，看电影时候总有种很刻意的感觉。背景音乐都还挺好听的。
