Brutal

This is an Indi film that I watched a screening of a few years back. It reminds me of some old school sci-fi flics I would watch growing up. It's not a big budget action drama that seems to be made every five minutes these days. It has a solid story that I have to admit was a little confusing at first but all gets tied up in the end. Lots of great fight scenes with really good choreography. The camera angles put you in the action for most of those fights and there are a lot of them! Some gore no nudity although there was one scene that I was hoping for a little skin but alas it was for not, bummer. Other than that, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a late night action flic. It's certainly better that anything Steven Segal has put out in decades.

Brutal is a rare look into man's violent nature, set against the backdrop of an MMA style fighting ring, brilliantly contrasting ones will to survive with the need to connect.

Director Donald Flaherty finds a unique platform on which to explore mans psyche, and delivers a deeper meaning to the title "Brutal", as his story unfolds with toe curling fight scenes, chest pounding blood baths, naked moments of innocence, arresting performances, and humor in the most unlikely of places. The stark set design helps to magnify the strength as well as the fragility of his lead characters.

An intriguing moral tale not to be missed!

terrible movie and completely waste of time to watch it. Could not continue to watch it after 15 minutes....Don't really trust IMDb ratings now since more and more over rates for cheap movies. Don't think this movie deserve a rating. And don't know where and how the 6.7 rate come from and from who. This is really bad for watch and worse of all, waste of time. IMDb should be responsible for these kind of ratings . because it misleading and misreport the good rated movies should be. People involved in the over ratings should be banned from future voting , which also include the same account with same IP address. What everybody think ?

First let me say that the movie is very appropriately titled, from the very start the action in this film is a display of total Brutality! If this was filmed in 3D, I believe I would have been covered in blood. I was sitting in my seat thinking "this can't get more brutal" and then sure enough, "splat, pop, eye gouge"! The opening had my attention, I was enthralled and determined to figure out what was happening. Why were these characters in a continuous blood drenched battle? The way the movie unfolded was very artistic and I could see how Mr. Flaherty has matured and grown from his last movie. I also want to say that Jeff Hatch gave a great performance, as did Morgan Benoit!

I saw this movie online and thought it was really well done for what it is. It's low budget but has lots of action. The story made me feel like I was watching an old Twilight Zone episode, which being a sci-fi fan made me really love it. It's slow at times, but the action scenes, the brutality and effects more than make up for the sometimes off pacing. i don't agree with some of the other reviews that said it had bad acting. The acting was great. The fight choreography was really well done. There are more than a couple scenes in there that will make you flinch from the blood and gore. If you like sci-fi, Twilight Zone, and fight movies, give this a shot. Don't go in thinking your watching a billion dollar blockbuster from one of the studios and you'll have a good time.
