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.
果然是局中局，三重境界：见山是山，见山不是山，见山还是山
辛芷蕾一如既往地好，雷佳音也很好，但他们接的角色都逐渐同质化了。这故事是个常见的父系叙事，也没什么新鲜的，总体还是让观众看热闹的电影，本子也经不起推敲。
不用考虑原著，基本就是个新故事。许一成到底冤不冤？许和平为嘛隐姓埋名？许愿当真是鉴宝天才？不较真的话，蛮顺畅的商业片模式，但就是雷佳音咋哪部片都一样呢。
黄烟烟的武力值被严重削弱，第一次get到了李现的颜值，为了把一本书讲完，感觉很仓促，故事的基调不太对，不应该这么热闹，特效还行。
不太高明的故弄玄虚，雷大头几部电影下来都是脏乱颓造型，李现不太聪明的亚子…
有的人第一次演，你就觉得“哇早就应该让她演”，比如辛芷蕾的黄烟烟。有的人，虽然以前演的也不能算好，但却已经深入人心，换了还真受不了，比如田中千绘版的木户加奈……有的人就真是，失望他妈给失望开门，李现版的药不然，跟油腻的乔振宇和瘦脱相的魏晨比，竟没有任何优势，甚至还不如那俩招人喜欢呢。雷佳音还可以，比假正经的夏雨强点，沈爷和付叔出彩。电影版节奏比较不错，但又有点太快了，没法塑造人物交代背景，我觉得古董局中局这个佛头案的故事，就适合拍成5-8集电视剧，每集一小时那种。
醉酒浑浑噩噩的状态真滴很
李现帅的，电影改编的情节更简单，小说更好看，期待系列化。
但是，我万万没想到，雷佳音的头居然和玉佛头一样大！
底蕴和深意都成了噱头，还整这么暴力，改成电影就只能这么粗糙？这才几年，甚至都开始怀念夏雨的许愿，潘粤明的许一城。
高仿的赝品，方方面面都卡在一个尴尬的位置，试着跟人物，跟事件，跟逗趣，都没能跟着看下去……🙂
节奏非常纯熟的商业片，看得挺过瘾，但正因为有点太流畅了，完全是情节带着人物走，人物就太扁平，有点浪费几位好演员。而且古董知识普通观众也不懂，整个分析和寻宝的过程代入感有限，就看俩主角装逼觉得挺酷的而已。不得不吐槽的李现演技，说话更是出戏
导演是有什么九十年代情结吗？这故事写小说可能好看，拍故事真的怎么拍都不好看。
节奏还行，但是为了肢体节奏扯画轴，是文物专家会做的事么。
李现辛芷蕾扑克脸演技，整了一堆大哥大姐过来客串。主线太弱了，不如夏雨版电视剧。话说回来，就是一个手机包膜的事，说这么费劲儿？
最大的包袱整到最后其实是个最大的bug啊。。没看过原作马伯庸的作品应该不至于如此吧。。为数不多的几段古董特效倒是挺耐看，剧情前面还好点，进了郑家村就跟魔怔了似的撵着你往前赶的赶脚
换个马甲的盗墓片，都是综艺的太综艺的。败笔就在于找不到人物情感的锚点。男主女主没有任何情感互动，只是一个任务线的组合。男主男二又几乎平行发展，没有冲突不成火花，似乎也没有往CP去塑造。最后情感落在男主葛优上，一个不成逻辑的“假父亲”，没劲的很。因为找不准情感锚点，导致编导不晓得如何用情节塑造人物，这就是当代影视剧最大的问题，什么都想要什么都要不到。
是不是古董剧都是包含推理啊？还有点盗墓的感觉。葛大爷真的老了。220117//

年代感做得不错，郭子健的本土化远远超过李仁港版盗墓笔记。看得出想打造中国版《国家宝藏》，但离全年龄段学校包场电影还多点粗粝，少点温情。葛优的表演节奏跟其他人不在一个频道上，不过还是挺出彩，虽然结局硬煽痕迹重了点。
