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.
果真是春节档最佳。把狙击这件事儿玩得很透，小空间里能让情绪跌宕起伏、叙事上面面俱到，很见功力。章宇硬汉与柔情的两面也太动人了。
三四五六代导演千千万，国师只有老谋子一人，因为他永远值得你信赖！整部电影细腻，精致，狙击战紧张刺激得不得了，家国情怀也能完美融入！棒，实在是太棒了！选角也非常优秀，男主虽然无名，但是眼神坚毅；班长饰演者章宇本来就演技在线，电影里演的一切都让我信了。春节档最强，不接受反驳！
这真的是忍不住~五星。PS:一进影院身后一对年纪较大的情侣，一直嘻嘻哈哈浪言浪语，本想喷他们的，一把年纪搞什么飞机，随着剧情发展，两人竟然放声痛哭，好吧，爱国主义教育目的达到了~
小人物小视角小故事，但有大情怀。新人演员有惊喜！
小场面狙击，气氛不错，勺子亮点，子弹特效有点出戏。
国师的实力有目共睹！除了能讲画面，也能讲故事，更能讲感情！知道啥时候该煽情，而且煽得恰到好处。
是热血让青春闪光✨
就说每发能打中敌人眉心的子弹都来个特效很没必要，其余没啥可说的
劇本不錯，戰爭雙方，沒有自誇正義，也沒有強踩對方邪惡，沒有自吹自擂多神勇，也沒有把對方寫成蠢蛋。導演不錯，從頭到尾就一場戰鬥，節奏把控比較老到，有限的筆墨能刻畫多個角色。演員不錯，章宇很好，幾個年輕演員也都自然且準確。然而，該片最值得誇讚的點並不是這些，而是說方言的角色均由原鄉籍演員出演，所以，該片的成都話、重慶話、樂山話、貴陽話均標準且自然，可以說是迄今為止看過的大量使用南方方言（除難度較高的粵語、閩南語、潮語、滬語外）的電影中，唯一（唯一！唯一！！唯一！！！）一部口音不彆扭的。但是，但凡子彈特寫，就一定能讓對方致命，而且還多次出現，也算得上一個蠻小兒科的bug。
春节档看的第一部电影，中规中矩，章宇的演技确实可以。
这不是战争片，是煽情片，就不能煽的含蓄点嘛。
额。。片子还不错，但着实给人感觉太刻意了。。。一切都巧合地很啊。。侦察兵一拿到情报就被打了，还正好被美军用作诱饵，而且美军还正好不知道他是侦察兵。。。然后刚开头这样的情景不应该先去探一下周围情况嘛？直接就上去救，以至于白死了几个，强行造人数势均力敌啊。。另外美军选址也是服啊，都说要做诱饵了，好么，对面又是山坡死角又是战壕的，生怕对方没地方躲啊！最后的桥段更是，那个石头简直是太精确了，正好挡住人，还能一边伸脚一边伸头。。简直是为导演量身打造啊。。。真是好假啊。。。
太烂了，尤其枪战场面，烂片，根本看不下去。
很惊喜，也很意外，惊喜的是终于有一部国产战争片聚焦狙击手这个张力十足的题材。意外的是，在长津湖聚焦大格局大叙事之外，老谋子把视角缩小到抗美援朝中的一处战场，一个班，甚至是一个人。五班是抗美援朝战场上很小的一个切面，但正是无数个这些微小切面组成了抗美援朝这场伟大的卫国战争。因为视角极度聚焦，因此情节紧凑而张力始终紧绷。尤其值得一提到的是新人演绎出彩，观影过程中，甚至让人恍惚置身战场其中。个人认为影片精彩程度超过《悬崖之上》
好爱这种遵循三一律原则的电影，从《悬崖之上》到《狙击手》，老谋子迷恋上了冬天，雪是真的雪，燃是真的燃。
这绝对是国师生涯最好的作品！很可能也是中国战争题材的最佳电影！
优点是，没有过分渲染且宏大的战争场面，而像这样的小战役也没有拍的很无聊。整体可看，不过说实话，这部看完，没有落泪
2.比《生死之墙》更为冷峻，这是属于我们自己的传奇，致敬抗美援朝英雄张桃芳。
做减法是好事，但是不够精彩。结尾有点乱来了。
国师的不一般不单单体现在镜头和节奏的无瑕疵，更在于对素人演技的挖掘
