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.
不少港星老戏骨。凶手接受采访时那帮记者群演太不专业了。一个警察转移证人太假了。开头时口口声声说法律是信仰不是生意的人，最后也要放弃，这也是为什么他连输12场的原因吧。结尾处的自白是唯一亮点“为下一代维持一个不论贫富、不论身份，在法律面前人人平等的社会”。这时廖启智的眼睛从侧面看是泛白的。
富家女被杀，凶手是地下情男友（正在选议员），穷人家孩子被诬陷，有钱有势的人只手遮天，证据被毁灭，证人被伤害，警察👮被收买，在看守所的被诬陷者也被各种殴打，一切似乎没有转机，个人的力量毕竟无法硬碰硬，最后只能做点擦边球的事情，伪造了一份文件，有个肯牺牲自己为女儿的父亲，不然应该也不会有真相出来吧
强迫症让我看完的。最好看的居然是游艇上两个老戏骨的对手戏。
节奏还是不错的，只不过大团圆结局的是建立在死者也是富家女，并且爹肯为了她不惜一切代价，信仰总是一点点被剥离，跌落现实。
没有预期的那么烂，看的粤语版，还是比较纯正的港味的，节奏其实还可以的！这类片没必要深究，差不多就行了！
正义的学费很贵嘛，代价是一张空头支票，随便填。推翻了爱民党，下一个是爱什么党呢？
剧情太呆了，二十分钟已经知道凶手是谁，政界和商界头目，面对亲生子女的生死，也不过是动用了一个黑警，三四个混混。。。格局小了，浪费几位演员的演技
-整体不错 但是故事经不起推敲
在铜仁的宾馆看的 剧情娇柔做作 年轻演员演技也不在线 最后居然是靠钱和作假摆平 有点看不下去 但是边做事边放着还是能看下去的
怎么说好呢？感觉苍白无力，没什么可以看的地方，除了方中信的帅
还能一看的粤语电影，前半剧情铺垫是不错的，可惜尾端转折过于理想，编上复杂的情节却只有简陋的细节。
现在的港片又到了需要强心剂的年代，后劲愈发不足了。这不仅仅是编剧的事情，更是包括剪辑在内一众团队都需要思考的问题。
金钱不仅能带来黑暗，还能带来光明啊，结尾升华主题升华的很硬啊，哎，最后说一句廖老师一路走好吧
有权的人的儿子杀了有钱的人的女儿，让穷人家的儿子去背锅。（人穷不老实也泡夜店），律师不屈服权贵剑走偏锋做了一份假的证据，让有权的和有钱的双方私下自相残杀解决。最终帮穷人打赢官司。这是什么狗血淋头的剧情啊。
这种电影可以一边吃饭一边看，不怕中间落下剧情
男二律师演的太水了吧，是带资进组吗？故事 演技 节奏不行，电影都不如电视剧，不如TVB 不如傲骨贤妻里的一集内容。
中规中矩的剧情，还好有几个香港老演员撑场，整体感觉还可以。追求和捍卫正义公理需要的不仅仅是信念和智慧，还要有金钱和权力的支持。贴近现实，引人深思。
抹黑香港警察和政府官员，给香港律师涂脂抹粉。当然香港政界也是垃圾满地
富家女被杀，凶手是地下情男友（正在选议员），穷人家孩子被诬陷，有钱有势的人只手遮天，证据被毁灭，证人被伤害，警察👮被收买，在看守所的被诬陷者也被各种殴打，一切似乎没有转机，个人的力量毕竟无法硬碰硬，最后只能做点擦边球的事情，伪造了一份文件，有个肯牺牲自己为女儿的父亲，不然应该也不会有真相出来吧
有钱有办法，没钱基本法。太过理想主义的洗脑片，现实中，廖启智的代表的资本阶层怎么可能因为女儿的去世和权贵阶层决裂的。
