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.
韩国有五千年的历史💩💩💩真是扯蛋！要不说韩国人脸大，大方脸比较多呢！电影虽然略有沉闷，因为是政治类型的电影，而且有历史背景，所以不会像娱乐片那样精彩，不过也让我一口气看完！
中规中矩……谈政治和权谋，韩国还是太嫩了……
不知道真实的事情里肖这个人物的存在和作用，但是全片感觉放大了，民主的获取不是仅仅靠一些手段。
读完了韩国现代史，更加理解了电影的内核。金大中总统不容易，要站着，还能挣钱，果然不能轻易当选。
因丢了几个鸡蛋能让我看清偷鸡蛋的为人，我觉得太值得了。不再和偷鸡蛋的人来往，把自家鸡窝门修得更牢固一些，继续在自己的小世界里自力更生自娱自乐，别人发财不羡慕，别人受苦不幸灾乐祸，陪有伤口有故事的人聊聊天看看电影，一起渡过谁都会难受的那道坎，做一个心软的有良知有爱心有追求的精神充实丰满的人。
韩国选举的内幕,完成度还不错,在这类题材中,首推日本的金环蚀,但以一个影子为主角难得一见,大开眼界,金光闪闪的事物背后都有见不得人的阴暗,政治就是一场肮脏的游戏。金大中的形象塑造的不错。7.4
幕后影子推手政治作秀，民众只会看见他们想看见的，听到他们想听到的，为了自诩的正义不惜一切代价，原本的民主理想慢慢被膨胀的权力欲望所蚕食。
而精英民主，不过是笑话罢了。
棒子顯然是拍這類電影拍出了心得，拍出了質量。但這部影片不是太出彩
我可以得到未来总统的拥抱吗？/如果你想上台表演你应该加入马戏团/可以确定的是，炸弹爆炸的时候他不在办公室——怀疑某人缺席就是将溺水者推入水下/
我想给故事和影像打4.5星
依然是躲不过cliche的无聊政治小品
电影工业出品的放在大银幕上供人观赏的zz片，没必要也没办法在深度上过于吹毛求疵。本片真正拉胯的是人物塑造，对于角色内心活动的发掘明显不及南山的部长们深入，有些可惜了老戏骨们的演技。

这字幕是机翻吧，看得云里雾里，但也要给薛景求打call
但因为这次大部分我没听懂 所以等有资源了再看一次后再打分吧😷
價值觀不同,註定要分道揚鑣.
争夺这世界上最危险的职业，总要一些卑劣的人和手段。
影子军师，有光的地方就有影子。可惜，光又高尚到无法和影子共存，失去了胜利，而历史则是由胜利者书写的。
算是首尾呼应吧，偷鸡蛋的故事太有意思。有些差评也是挺可爱，不感兴趣所以看了打低分这是什么逻辑，我不感兴趣的题材我都不会看。zz远比书本上有趣的多
