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.
打败剪裁师的是廉价的蓝色牛仔裤，打败黑帮的是文明的现代制度。我是懂得测量熨烫，叠出正方形胸巾的剪裁师，会用更缜密的方法杀人。身在黑帮，软弱是最大的缺陷。你用手枪杀人，我用剪刀救人。被黑帮杀掉的人，是剪裁裤子时扔掉的废布头。不必告诉顾客不合身的上衣不是因为袖子，只需要替他剪掉肩膀。
剧本很棒，前半段低智三人组搞笑，后半段多重反转精彩，结局足够高潮且没有刻意，但都比不上Mark叔叔神仙演技，每个小眼神都让人尖叫嗷嗷嗷。超喜欢女主，聪明，独立，潇洒，不是太美但独有风情。摄影和配乐都是imitation的翻版，唯独前半段的剪辑好多地方非常突兀…有一种刚毕业的广告导演拍猎奇mv的感觉…
生存之道：既要套，也要装。
是谁在五月第一天就看到这么好的片子(哦！是我
看的时候很爽，尤其是藏尸那段
和看梅艳芳的感觉一样，再多演绎都比不上本人一帧。比不上他拿破锣嗓子唱一句。啊，老头儿要过生日了。
撑满100多分钟，挺不容易的，马克李朗斯演技在线
“这并不完美，你必须接受这一点。How？
一直瞪大眼睛等反转反转再反转，就是从头反转到尾。我就知道老裁缝不简单，哦不，是剪裁师。
I want so bad to be good. I am not a tailor. I am a cutter
闷头做事，侧耳倾听，穿针引线，挑拨离间，一身功夫，一场大火，没有假期的杀手，心若在，梦就在，大不了重头再来。
北野武这个人梗超多吧，结果这部拍成了流畅且略普通的主要讲师徒情的片。里面竟然有一句“圣诞快乐”！
冲着SRB刷这个剧，漏洞太多了，当然也许男主有plan B C D......只能说他喜欢玩火。SRB说美音还蛮酷哒。真心说就靠两位莎剧大咖撑着。
前半段腔调很浓，但是最后发现是在计划很有随机性的事情？
令人伤心的是师徒关系最终章的“子欲养而亲不待”，越是相处过程中愉快的细节堆积在一起，失去的时候越有一个无法填补的空洞慢慢变大，终成一种永恒的悲怆。师父深见和师娘麻里的关系也是如此。剧场没钱填补家用，麻里说去做艺伎陪酒，深见说，“老婆你这么好看去做陪酒妹，我会忍不住找你陪酒，花的钱会更多”。所以看到麻里的牌位摆在房子的中央，深见提及阿武的成功更会觉得寂寞。最爱的人最应该和阿武一起享受鲜花和掌声。一切都卷入了时间的漩涡，幸好电影胶片可以还原这一切。阿武从“漫才”到拍电影，真真切切把才华用在了艺术的刀刃上，以致于全世界都会站起来给阿武鼓掌，那又怎样，最爱的人不会再看到。北野武离婚净身出户，他的毫不在意正是因为他有对自己才华的自信以及对金钱的鄙夷，而超乎俗世的艺术追求想必都是他师父深见寄予他的。
古典悬疑话剧，工整严谨，利用套层信息差，让观众结尾小高潮，核心叙事技巧也隐隐有些剧透就四个字：扮猪吃虎
这必须戏剧大咖来演啊，否则这小屋里的三层反转撑不住！
单一场景，话剧电影，依靠对话和巧合层层递进，剧本扎实，酣畅淋漓。Richie有角度像马修古迪， Francis有角度像迈克尔皮特，片尾出字幕，名字里带有O的停留时间稍微久一点，然而最后三秒出现FOCUS时，O却是模糊的
热狗是很好吃
扮猪吃老虎的典型故事，但是这里面的猪好像也是无奈之举。老裁缝温和的可怕，不知道从这种平淡到底是演技上面的局限，还是自己对角色的表达就是如此。
