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.
挺搞笑的，梦工厂拿手好戏，动画技术也有创新
更极端版《拆弹2》，可惜再也看不到陈木胜导演继续表达……久违了的吕良伟林国斌，小谢的疯批反派真是帅爆了~
永远怀恋在天国的陈木胜导演，果然我已经老了。
依旧是甄子丹式的疯、狠、猛，以前看这种纯港式的片子真的很腻，现在真的是看一部少一步了。反派塑造的够狠，杀人不手软。就是剧情少了些张力。
谢霆锋真的太帅了，帅得有点不真实
谢霆锋当了这么多年厨师竟然还会演戏，太疯批了，太帅了，第一次在大荧幕上看谢霆锋，好帅。
撕掉标签，杀死刻板印象，不要被定义。故事属于看一半就能猜到结尾，但一些细节处理的不错，显得趣味十足，开头很棒，后面还好收的及时，观感挺好的，尤其前半年这个电影环境来说挺好了。
非常好看，每个人物线因非常刻板形象而让人记忆深刻，你看那个拿着话筒的记者，在豚鼠拿奖时欢呼，而豚鼠落寞时第一时间报道的也是她，像极了捕风捉影只追热点的人们。
三星
看到甄子丹掏出甩棍谢霆锋耍匕首瞬间梦回杀破狼，只是最后有人成为中国队长，有人成为小丑。反派弧光加的如此之满以及崇邦片尾的沉默，我想即便是来看动作戏和谢霆锋扮帅的观众，也能感受到谁才是真正的主角。任达华聆讯那段看似煽情实则充满黑色幽默，当然要给你二十小时去除掉疯狂复仇的高层心头大患，但谁知道走出教堂后等待的是什么呢。只可惜我们可以继续好奇未来邱礼涛会拍出什么，却无法再期待陈木胜。
以前我没得选，现在我想做个好人////首先我不是福瑞控，说实话比同期所有电影都好…包括蝙蝠侠，fb3，奇异2。其次，我不是福瑞控，狼狼救猫那一段我都疯了awwwwwwww。再者，我不是福瑞控，散开领带共舞那一段我傻了。然后，我不是福瑞控，山姆洛克威尔的声音也太苏了awwwww，整匹狼都很乔治克鲁尼。最后，我不是福瑞控，虽然猜准了每一个点，但我全程傻笑。
10分钟弃 too old for this.....吵死了
这个年头没人想做炮灰
2.甄子丹吕良伟谭耀文都老了呀！岁月不饶人，现在香港也只能靠这些老戏骨撑着，也没什么年轻面孔，感慨万千！
无聊时随便消遣消遣，成品大概借鉴了十来部好莱坞动画/类型片元素，无甚新意阅后即忘。
这个世界不是非黑即白，还有很多灰色区域
- 是这样，成本不够，我们只能把这部动物动画里每个不重要的角色都做成人类。
前20分钟：“什么降智玩意儿”。看完：真香！
跟《疯狂动物城》比就差得远了，浪子回头金不换的主题还可以，但那个坏人的魅力没有释放出来。而且动画的设定其实有BUG，你有人有人又动物我就忍了，但为什么你们狼、狐狸，甚至蜘蛛都能说话，凭什么小猫就必须是普通小猫？是小猫不配吗？这设定可以说是相当混乱了。几次反转大都能猜得出来，随便看看可以，但也就是随便看看。
故事还是很套路的，但要把套路做好是很难的。 原本4星，多一星给狐狸～设定很棒
