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.
不如拍个少年黄飞鸿。加那么多没用的花头，上什么价值，20分钟那场哭连中二都算不上，至不至于，太强行了。跟洗脑似的把slogan念那么多遍就是意义了？这跟××自信有什么分别？跟“舞狮”的关系甚至都不大，就像《灌篮高手》，重要的是篮球吗？把个狮子毛做那么好，衣服、头发都什么东西，3D恶心死了，2D回来啊！！手绘回来啊！！
多的一颗星给视觉效果。国漫什么时候可以摆脱烂剧本和烂逻辑（罗小黑除外）。直接保留电影高潮那场戏还好看点！
缺点很明显，几乎成缺陷，拯救只有推翻重来。
很明显有继承自黄飞鸿狮王争霸的影子，但是更现代了。少年心中的雄狮，永远激动人心。吹爆粤语版。
是谁在电影院里数度落泪我不说……其实很多个煽情和拔高主题的段落和台词都挺尴尬的，真正感动到我的从来都是那些不被刻意突显的细节，比如师母看似不经意地推过来三杯水而又立刻走开…
这才是最真实，最原汁原味的中国电影！
每次觉得马上就要落入大俗套白眼快翻起来的时候，就稍微跳脱出俗套来给我续命。
度过童年期的国漫电影，进入青春叛逆期，燃点有，但必须要合理！
剧本好，明线为病猫成雄狮，暗线为留守儿童接力家庭重担，在沉重的工作中磨炼出坚毅的眼神和结实的肌肉这才比较符合现实。开头巷子里追逐长镜头好棒，天台独自舞狮的动作燃点与泪点好棒，各种农村与城市特色细节用心。人物形象设计属于写实。最后不管昨天是否拿到比赛冠军，明天还是得为生活奋斗。克制住了往“奇迹”虚幻靠，这点真的值得表扬。给满分但还是要说说不足，1.主角配音不太农村化，阿猫那种不咸不淡的才比较靠近真实。2.配乐太多了，虽说五条人和九连真人很符合但太满有点累。3.雄狮出现那一刻有泛白点，转得有些突兀。
《雄狮少年》这个温暖的故事适合冬天，愿每一个平凡的我们都能找到少年的影子，笑泪而过中，不忘心底最柔软的那部分。
舞狮，街景，木棉花都超级细致，水平很高
题材是好的，但是善的和恶的都极其脸谱化，励志不代表一个人物的经历要融合所有被同情的生存元素，这样的创作极其戏剧化，商业化元素也过于浓厚，导演的很多创作意图都是好的，但我个人不欣赏这类创作，它的创作逻辑还是中国电影常用的一种，在我看来很落后的一种。
没在故纸堆里挖童话，人物造型不再模仿日美漫画。
动画做得真不错，无论是水墨狮子，还是光影下似真似幻的毛茸茸。废柴逆袭的故事很套路，但拥挤的打工宿舍的天台上，那些画在地上的桩印，写在墙上的练习记录，都很动人，用一句鸡汤歌词来形容，平凡生活的英雄梦想。一次比赛，虽然看起来热血，但并没有一步登天的童话，生活还得继续，但热爱令人勇敢和坚强。结尾和彩蛋，可以加一星。喜欢。
年度最快退场记录，24分钟。12.10@深圳中心城金逸杜比
音乐太好听了，看哭了好多次。
传统迪士尼套路，融中国元素、融港式无厘头梗、融现实题材，镜头调度和叙事节奏令人惊艳，就是我理想的国漫样子，喜庆又支楞。
生理不适，充斥着刻板印象和俗套的台词剧情，一部喊口号电影，没有逻辑也没有人物。
师父说：“别认”。明明知道被套路了。人生高光，留在背后，转身就走，不留下一片云彩；人呐，得憋着一口气，得为了这口气活着。非常港味儿，美术大法好，值得花钱去电影院，ost加分。
可以啊，《黄飞鸿》《少林足球》的底子，再加一点聪明不过火的城乡和阶层，拿住院线观众应该完全不在话下。
