Michael Hanake meets the Blair Witch Project in Kim Gok's Exhausted, a vicious kick in the pants to everyone in the audience, all in the name of "style." A man meets a mute woman, and as any reasonable person would do in such a situation, makes her his prostitute. But the pimping is the least of our problems. As we get exhausted by the grainy faux-16mm camerawork, the film gets increasingly deranged. The closest thing we get to a sympathetic character is the pimp, simply because he's got too much self-respect to fuck a mute whore. Everyone else is either a gory mess, or a gory mess in disguise. Even the prostitute, which even a thug like Lars von Trier would make likeable, comes off as a delirious scary woman whose shrieks strike like blows to the jugular.
Kim Gok has seemingly abandoned the Marxist critiques of his short films, going instead for mindless brutality which culminates in an endless bloody freak-show involving, among other things, a pair of scissors going where pairs of scissors should not go. In the middle of the bloodbath, we get an extended long take of the beaten prostitute's near-dead face, but it does not elicit sympathy or pity. In fact, images of the victim only make us shy away in shock. (Indeed, the extended sequence led to continuous walk-outs during the Pusan screening.) The long take invites us to stare, but it assumes we're as sadistic as the victimizer (and the film) is. Meanwhile the sound-effects (mostly a rumbling bassline that shakes the theater) pulsates with pure wickedness. With Hanake, shock creates reflection, which asks that we be critical. Here, we only want to escape. I suppose Exhausted has some virtues; the shots of drilling machines and factories provide a mesmerizing phallic backdrop to the pimp and prostitute's pursuits. But everything else hurts too much. At least Kim Ki-duk lets us breathe. Exhausted makes Bad Guy look like Lady and the Tramp. (asiaarts.ucla.edu)
黑龙江省伊春市嘉荫县，森林取景+视听不错，剧本其实挺单薄的。主题落在亲情，却被最后的狡猾微笑毁了。
国产电影中的平行空间，不错，一共就三个演员两套衣服，完全没觉得无聊，希望流量电影多学学，不用流量，一样可以让人喜欢？
雷神的电影还是要支持一下，拍摄不错，但是剧情、设定、表演都不太成熟，新人导演小预算只拍了20多天，能交出这样的答卷已经很合格了。
明显的小成本电影，没有特效，基本靠人和场景来推动剧情。拍的感觉还可以，值得一看，有些情节构思的不错，作为科幻片我觉得还是合格的，只是这种片子不太讨巧。
首先，能以小成本拍出这样的逻辑闭环来就不应该得分这么低，四星表明我自己的态度，之所以不给五星是因为演员演技确实有些问题。剧情上来讲，最合理的解释是女主最终还是开枪给自己选了一个看上去最好的空间。多的我就不说了，很值得一看的好国产。
100W的预算，的确能感受到制作的掣肘，虽然设定上很有《彗星来的那一夜》《死亡游轮》的味儿，但能看出工作人员的用心，剧情在烧脑和老少咸宜之间做到了符合国情的平衡，作为中国轻科幻的先锋作，值得嘉奖
因为喜欢听雷神说电影，有努力看，对不起没看下去
人永远不能两次踏入同一条河流，我们想回到的过去，其实已经不是过去的过去了。
很多地方语焉不详，片头重伤母亲入院+片尾爆炸声中夹杂医院电击器声，可能是母亲死亡临界的臆想？
这个封面被好莱坞翻牌是什么鬼……
刚开始觉得演员表演的好神经质，第二个男主还娘娘的，没想到其实是不一样的人，那这些神经的表演也可能是刻意为之，时空错乱的人们。
可以总结的是，导演阅片量可以，但以“小成本”和“被好莱坞翻拍的国产科幻电影”作为卖点的话，就显得弄巧反拙。
导演网络自号编剧雷神，吐字清晰口齿伶俐，讲起话来井井有条，单这一点就比很多人强。这部作品虽然投资只有100万，但其实再把投资增加十倍，恐怕也不能使影片的观感好上十倍，说白了，影片效果不行，主要在人。影片上映后票房只有有21.3万，3星鼓励一下~
摄影挺棒，配乐还不错，视听语言匮乏，通篇是谁说话给谁镜头，远没有达到用画面讲故事的水平。故事毫无新意，平行空间那一套，台词又白又糙，演技不得不说是在给观众上刑了。综合来讲勉强能看，适合做成一个短片。
片如其名，虽然小制作却有很多小细节，非常开放式的开头以及结尾，有趣有趣～21.11.18
白桦林和雾笼胡泊营造的悬疑氛围很出色。
抖音编剧雷神自编自导自吹的小成本长片，
1.5星。看了豆瓣短评以为有多厉害，实际情况是学生习作水平，粗制滥造，三个演员的演技加起来是零分。以上是绝对客观的评价，你不信你自己去看。与国外同类题材的科幻影视有很大差距。
创意是玩过的，节奏是墨迹的，逻辑是诡异的，比恐怖游轮差了一万多个流浪地球
