Brutal (2012)

I love this movie so much

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

It's a good story, well told with some great scenes but, man, could it use some editing.There are about half a dozen largely irrelevant scenes and about a dozen more which are spun out way too long.Some tight editing would get this down from 'directors cut+' length to watchable without looking at your watch length.One thing, however, is the sound track. Get that wrong and you're stuffed and they got it wrong more often than not. Unforgivable.There are some great shots, some great soundtracks but, Madonne, don't they go on. And on and then on some more.Like with the swearing. I get that they are baddies and baddies swear a lot but it's every other word and sometimes three or more in a row for no apparent reason other than to show how tough they are.In real life? Some of the toughest people I know, seriously tough people, hate swearing. Loud-mouths swear.Ripe for a remake with a bigger budget but hats off to those involved for making it this far.

This was off the chain, loved it. The production was rugged and raw. It kept me on the edge of my chair wanting more. The plot was solid and really took me to a place I wanted to go. The acting was well done. The direction went in a good path that set the over all feel real. We need to get rolling on the next chapter Brutal two. Would like to see a book written on the movie. Lots and lots more detail and description. In the fight scenes I was surprised who accurate they were. The action was also grade A and well produced. Overall the production was a class act. Thanks for a good time with this crazy twisted tale of Italian drama that I enjoyed very much!

Brutal... I saw this film at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood a few weeks back... In all honesty, One of the coolest indie gangster films I've saw since the "Drive" premier at Cannes two years ago... It has a gritty New York feel... The story itself is something realistic, the acting is grade A which tells me the director really new what he was doing with this one! I was happy to see that you don't need all the Hollywood BS. effects and extras to have a good indie film stand strong. This film has proved to me that film making is still an art and can be done successfully without millions of dollars and Hollywood studios behind it. Los Angeles may be the capitol of film making but New York is on the rise.

Do you know I started to watch this film and I didn't really know who the actors were, you could tell there wasn't a huge budget making this but that didn't seem to matter as the story line progressed. Fantastic realism, of people getting out of their depth you felt like you were one of the boys, the director Kamal certainly new what he was doing. I could actually feel the tension in the room when one of the guys was waiting at a bar for some money and didn't trust the people there. I was seriously on the edge of my seat watching this because you just had no idea what was going to happen next. It's a great script and great acting I can't recommend this movie enough, you have to go and see it. Iv seen this movie 3 times now and it just gets better the more I watch. This is going in my top 20 Gangster movies of all time.
