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.
3.5。作为电影来说乏善可陈，但是其反映的内容让人无法不联想到往三聚氰胺里加奶粉，以及之前、之后的许多年来屡见不鲜但最终不了了之的诸多事件。
同样的题材，同样的煽情角度，韩国影人来拍，看得出真的很会拿捏，演员的台词让影片节奏的冲击力拉满，几次意料之外的转折都算得上是点睛之笔。
细菌最怕的几件事，除了高温以外，一是通风，二是干燥，三是紫外线。 罪犯最怕的是-----阳光！
有点沉闷 看不进去……然后反转的有点突然
原来那个徐宇直才是幕后大佬主角吗？哈哈，毕竟这经历，这忍辱负重的，也是家里人因为空气净化器消毒液死亡的人，只是我看到事情差不多平息的时候他问他老板剩下的那一大批是不是要销毁而他老板说换个主料继续投入销售，反正死不了几个人，死了也有人可以解决得了的时候我真是thankyou了，这真是太恶心人了。。
揭露资本家，我们这边不缺故事，审核也能过关，但是我们就不拍，都扎堆变着花样地谈情说爱，而且还是小年轻们见色起意的那一类爱情，他妈的爱情这玩意有什么可翻来覆去拍的？
因为韩国比较擅长这类电影，所以要求就稍微高一点，剧本还能写得更好，男主角和老婆孩子之间的铺垫如果能再生活化，共鸣感和代入感就会更强，另一方面反面人物有点脸谱化，坏人把坏人两个字写在脸上，就会肤浅了，明明选角不差，剧本没把演员的优势发挥出来。
歌还是好听的。但热点元素得堆砌感有些浓重了。
韩国人善于玩味与驾驭的题材，依旧是真实事件改编+控诉政府与资本家的「双重保险」。前半程叙事很流畅，无论金相庆还是尹静浩对于角色的把握、掌控能力都很出彩。后半程发力部分倒是不如韩影同类别作品在节奏上处理的好，但因为题材的出众反而会弥补上很多不足。反转做的很精妙，至少尹胖的演技让我折服与动容。结局部分依旧是亮点，各部门的相互推诿与逃避责任太写实了，就像泼向他们的消毒剂一样只配得上这些「害虫」。最后的一连串数字依旧直击内心，我很喜欢。

He said, you looked very pretty…uhh it looks pretty cool when you put indigo straights in your hair
即便这个片子质量真的不值一提，但人家就是能拍敢拍，就这一层面来看，“值得”两个字都说累了。
“我是英国人，所以我才不关心别的国家人民是生是死，只是赚钱而已，你是韩国人，所以有点过了吗？”
7分，就电影本身而言，人物情感稍微单薄，其实并不算出彩。
剧情发展都可以猜得到，不过对于受害者具体的家庭、具体的人刻画得很写实，鉴于这是真实发生过的惨案，真正的受害者家庭看了会更难过吧，最后那个男主诘问和群众的呼喊很震撼
暴寡惮强梁，官政惟因循。
完全无趣，全靠后面的反转撑场。不过真实事件改编有点残忍
真实的生活中，这种案件很少被公平公正的对待吧，所以赢得引起了关注拍出了电影，这个世界上真的有正义吗，正义不一直都在迟到吗，当不需要的时候正义到来了，那当时需要正义的那些人，就永远的结束了。
故事再看一遍感触更深 电影化之后并没有那么糟糕 sincerely me的呈现方式也蛮惊喜的 配角也更加丰满了
以及Pen Platt无论何时一张嘴都能唱得我一身鸡皮疙瘩
