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；黑色幽默的成分，赋予本片一种灵动的气质，把常见的讽刺业内题材拍得颇有可看性，讽谑味挺足。戏中戏互为镜像，教科书级的演技实力演绎何谓影帝影后。
一些以小见大，一些家国情怀。总体很流畅，对于无论是故事，人物，感情，还是对中国基建科普一些细节，眼泪哗哗的。真心看的人非常很舒服，没有什么乱七八糟的歪屁股，加一星！
比较感动的是铁道兵的故事，但是蛮多主人公开金手指的镜头
主要是觉得一些地方太不合适了，前两段感情戏有点刻意；那束植物还被拿回去了？在那么危机的情况下还去管？助听器怎么还随身带着，想拿出来就拿出来了，也是在那种危机情况下还注意这个？虽说可能算是我孤陋寡闻，真有一部分那种经过训练练就的徒手攀岩高手，那当时下那么大的雨，而且他们好像攀得很轻松的样子，直升机上的人也觉得没什么，很多时候还只用一只手抓着岩石，怎么说都算是被神话了；还有洪叔当成脚借力的，这样牺牲了，怎么都感觉有点不合适和有点怪；还有最后洪翼舟还那么远跳跃摸到直升机了，直升机一开始就那么飞走了，而后飞回来就这样子救人？
给五星是不可能的，因为槽点太多了，给个四星吧，起码看的时候还是没有太难过，没有不停的想吐槽。
两星半
电影本身我不喜欢，四星全是给片尾的。情节和镜头安排的过于“满”了，人物尤其是配角的行为离谱，看着如坐针毡
开头峰爆场面把气氛烘托得还可以，但是每一个情节基本都能猜到，结尾男主父亲蛮催泪的，可是中途我还是离场了半个多小时。
适合人群：最近想看电影的人，主演粉丝，对该类型感兴趣者。不抱太大期望，那还是挺好看的。
紧张，刺激，特效用在刀刃上挺好的。人物结局有点拉胯，加上有一点点的强行升华，瑕不掩瑜。
虽然有些地方有点强行煽情，但是最后那一段还是被感动到了，致敬为中国铁路建设默默付出的英雄们
看了首映 瑕不掩瑜 值得四星 稍微有些牵强、尬、煽情的剧情 但是总体而言值得一看 感动点很打动我
（灾难片不要煽情，珍惜时间、尊重常识是最好的，千万不要刻意编造不实在的情节给予太耀目的主角光环）
意料之外的完整了，感情、叙事都收得刚刚好。
算是某种西班牙式的黑色喜剧。对电影行业各种现象讽刺挖苦至极，巧思颇多，剧本还算完满。如果会西语，不知道是不是能看的更开心。从场景能看出预算吃紧，而且以对白为重，但都不重要，演员都很棒，整体看下来很是精彩。大石那一段以及碾奖杯那段是这些年少见的构思。推荐，十分值得一看。
挺感人的也挺动容的，但就感觉在编排上差点意思，每次情绪快到一个点的时候马上就会被打回来，看的又感人又堵心
在灾难面前，西方人的传说是诺亚方舟，我们祖先的故事是精卫填海，愚公移山。
前后一共看了三遍，从开头的紧张到后面的难过，面对灾难平凡人的挺身而出，铁道兵真的太不容易了。童年照都是二刷三刷的时候才反应过来的，原来小洪从小就被父亲举着向上爬。是我喜欢的电影。
前面节奏还行，中间拖沓，后期结局完成性不够。
带给我的震撼不亚于《流浪地球》，结构和剧本工整，细节到位，也在类型片中融入了中国哲学的表达。
