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.
2021.9.30 改编国内的解救吾先生 虽然我没看过但是黄政民主演真的太令人期待了吧！29号出资源但晚上10点多才出熟肉只好30号看了..小失望 毕竟又是高期待的 倒是绑架黄政民居然是真的黄政民 笑死我了 故事就是黄政民被人绑架了 要很多钱 还有鱿鱼游戏里面的那个妹妹！给他银行卡密码让他去家里去取 然后一个胖子傻乎乎的给黄政民松绑 他们三个反派还起内讧 最后胖子被瘦子干掉 瘦子被最终boss干掉 boss找不到银行卡就去自首 后面被带到据点警察却被暗算一堆炸弹 黄政民最后和最终boss大pk 哪个高中女反派好骚啊。。没见过C罩杯吗 感觉这个可能会被韩国人调侃哈哈哈
绑匪的角色原来是留给河正宇的吧？制片人不难受吗？哪有绑票戏，肉票独自气霸全场的？
一定不要把这个和真实事件对比，也不要和原版对比。因为这就是个简单的个人英雄主义电影。黄政民是绝对的主角，剧情也为此服务而做了不少改变。因此也逃不过情节的幼稚和愚蠢。
最爱看韩国电影了，因为没有限制怎么拍都成，没有束缚，所以很精彩，结果本来应该一定会很有看头的反而倒是令人大跌眼镜。想对比《解救吾先生》差的太多，好好的一个解救故事给拍成英雄自救，太浮夸了吧！国内可能写实电影不敢说太多或者太血腥，韩国就不能照着拍？！多渲染一些，一定会更好，唉。可惜了黄政民的演技。。。
第3334-不好看。其实原版没好到哪里去。不过吴若甫当年能获救还是很幸运的。
黄政民本色出演黄政民，这是阿加西自己的个人宣传片吧，危机时刻还不忘拖鞋进人家家里，一直保护和安慰另一个被绑架的女孩子，真的好绅士一男的
黄叔最近好像一直演这类片子，邪恶中解救我也是这种孤胆英雄类型的，但是这部人质的反派不够出彩，可惜了
没有黄政民这部最多值一星 这和原版一比 拍的是个啥阿 无力吐槽
突然觉得王千源演的绑匪更有张力，结尾lggy pop的歌加一星
黄政民是以真名出演电影最多的演员吧（《舞后》也是）。
“当年默默无闻的时候也被拒绝了上百次，他们嘲笑我，长得不帅，一口庆尚北道方言，脸还红扑扑的家伙…”
不能把戏里的黄政民当黄政民看，那是动作片男主，超出普通人的神勇了。
没有例外
（翻拍得不太好其实
居然直接用本名，那结尾肯定是得救啦！多一星给黄政民
冲着黄政民看这部翻拍片的。有些地方太过了，有些地方不够到位。还是原版好！
比原作更刺激，节奏掌握的也很好，但也更狗血……
黄政民你知道吗？要是你不乱丢枪有枪不用，这个片子能早半个小时演完。
没看过中国版的，黄政民演的很拼也很真实，结尾处看到和罪犯相似的演员神情更现实
整体节奏很紧凑，不过最后部分的剧情设置太中二了！
