It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Two boring characters pummel each other in a cage match for a steak and peas dinner. The fights are bloody knuckles and smashed faces. The first one lasted a ridiculous 8 minutes. However, if you missed that they fight again and again in The Arena (Star Trek Gorn reference).They are apparently held by aliens with a lot of white paint. The acting and dialogue was bad and the idea has been done. Recommend "The Human Race" instead.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. Pole dancer.

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 ?

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!

I saw this film at its Los Angeles premiere at the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. If the action sequence that opens BRUTAL doesn't get your attention, you're dead. From moment one, the audience is drawn into the hellishly surreal world into which a mysterious force has dropped Trevor (Morgan Benoit) and Derrick (Jeff Hatch.) BRUTAL combines some of the most balls-to-the-wall fight choreography you've ever seen (Benoit and Hatch's bone-crunching fights are so realistic that they are simultaneously hard to watch and hard to turn away from,) a sci-fi undercurrent and a nuanced lead performance that should, by all rights, make Morgan Benoit a star. BRUTAL cuts across the genres, and Donald Flaherty's mix of Twilight Zone-esque mystery and raw brutality makes for a fascinating ride.
