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.

亨利的老婆一定非常美丽，才能生出这么漂亮的孩子。虽然亨利很厉害，但是孩子也没有好好教育一下，不知道他之后能不能生存下去。
好精彩的故事，虽然低成本，但是真的很好了。这可能就是老亨利最好的结局——至少死后有人收尸。不过他儿子终究还是杀了人，不过那又是另一个故事了。
西部片比较是我一直get不到的类型，但这部可看性还不错，那个白衣军师我说怎么看着眼熟，原来是疯狂小八，70/100

今年最棒的西部片！故事结构紧凑，对白简洁明了，导演克制隐忍小火慢炖，一步步将剧情推向高潮，结尾再来个意外反转，老亨利完成了自我救赎，儿子认识了父亲，告别家园独自策马上路，消失在Oklahoma 州的原野。
西部片，西方的武侠电影，本质和我们的武侠电影都是一致的：隐姓埋名的武林高手，在面临外力胁迫时，忍无可忍，打破潜伏，挺身而出。

儿子很有天赋，只不过传奇老爹不想让他走自己的老路。
故事简单，纯正西部味。乒乒乓乓一阵射…全片很爷们，没见一个娘们！
虽然我没在江湖，但江湖一直流传着我的传说。
我虽然不知道比利是谁，但大受震撼。一个人的独角戏，跟配角一比就知道。
1.主角不就是严肃版不话痨狂傲不羁的唱着歌谣的巴斯特2.亨利.麦卡蒂就是比利小子的原名3.西部片味道正，配乐好。
如果一个人看起来就是厉害的角色，怎么躲藏，如果看起来就像是憋着什么，也不合适。
威震江湖激流勇退 恶匪临门重现神威 两位黄金配角奉献返璞归真西部片
The destiny are those what Desgniated to happen
前面漫长的铺垫，甚至都感觉不到紧张，最后二十分钟突然达到高峰，手起人倒干净利落，结局令人唏嘘，还是没明讲老亨利的过往，更令人好奇背后的故事。
名字《老亨利》，听着就像一瓶老酒，安静的待在那里，只有打开了品尝了才知道------卧槽。。。。。劲儿真猛！
