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)
期待了很久的诺兰弟弟妻子Lisa Joy大银幕首秀，狼叔弗格森《马戏之王》后重聚，本质上有点像《全面回忆》+《盗梦空间》，但是故事是绝对原创的，全程絮絮叨叨的诗篇对白基本也有诺兰电影的影子，果然不是一家人不进一家门。烂番茄48%好评真的低了，我觉得怎么也能给个70多分，真的。看到最后有点想流泪，或许这是每一个渴望回首过去的人都该看的电影吧
刚玩过《恶灵附身》，感觉杰克曼大叔真像游戏里的男主角。但是这电影就很一般了。
就刚才把这部片子看了，挺无聊的也挺无力的一部片子。打三星是因为主演，就这剧情，两星都不愿意打的。
感谢吴彦祖。一直以来大家都是中文里夹英文，终于有人英文里夹中文了。
秘密总是湿漉漉的，当回忆被唤起，不管是从Tank还是从床上醒来，总会浸润枕边。黯淡近未来版《洛城机密》，温婉、浪漫版《末世纪暴潮》。我认为乔伊创作这部电影的目的，并不只是为了展现她在剧作结构和科幻设定上灵巧构思不比家里的男人差，因为当我看到DA用近似观看黑色电影的方式探案时我才发现，这是一部迷影电影。电影的本质就是再造梦境，再现人们内心深处的恐惧和欲望。乔伊在如锈带威尼斯的穷人洼地，与富人独享的旱地乐园的科幻设定上，并未模仿工业风极强的尼尔的《极乐世界》，也无拯救人类、阶级跨越之类的宏大叙事，只是用伤痕文本和旅拍视听，缓缓点缀出逼近真实的近末世风光。原剧本重新创作一下会是一部很标准的中篇科幻小说。休叔应该是退役海军特战，片中的边境战争应是美南部，包括墨西哥湾，交战对象很可能是某崛起后的大国。
电影三星。多一星给阿祖，给guanxi，给niu，给poor guisunzi，给pengyou，等等那些阿祖口中的念念叨叨。
感觉最大的问题是，人类显然并不需要高科技就能够沉溺于过去，而电影也不需要其帮助来实现常规的非线性叙事，这层科幻的皮披是在太软，作为黑色电影来说又显得悬疑不足，说它是过去许多电影的“追忆迷踪”也不为过。但是，它依旧有让人动容的美好瞬间，不留恋那一眼的俄尔普斯，和那个只讲了一半的幸福故事，无需太过防备，竟也缕缕陷入各种回忆之中。
「那就跟我講個快樂的故事，但要在中間結束」
还蛮适合HBO免费观看的，就网大水准。整体没什么意思，也没什么悬疑吊着。吴彦祖很性感，但是谁给他写的中英文夹杂台词，我整个大爆笑。
冲着狼叔+吴彦祖看的。虽然剧情老套，但不得不感慨好莱坞的美指和DP太厉害了，和国产电影已经不在一个维度了。大全景和室外的景都太美了
有趣的末世设定，却套着无脑恋爱剧情，真是亏了这主演阵容了
我们身在未来，但是活在过去，一部真正意义上的黑色电影
立意很好，情感悬疑科幻都揉起来讲还是讲浅了
狼叔来谈了个漫长的恋爱。。。而我却是冲着悬疑来的。诺兰家果然是那个路数，氛围我也喜欢的，但是不喜这个故事。旁白听得我很困；REBECCA的性感演出过于厌女了。PS其实以狼叔的身高身材演REESE也可以的，但是怎么看着就有点笨拙呢？
狼叔依旧那么帅！
疑犯追踪+西部世界。Newton的设定和疑犯追踪里的Shaw几乎一模一样，枪法好，医护，老兵，酗酒。
有点大炮打苍蝇的感觉，背景设定还是可以的，但，但，故事格局太小了。影像风格诺兰味十足，但却少了太多锐利。
我觉得很好看诶……很久没看过那么纯爱的电影了……
2.5星，这科幻的皮欺骗了大家啊，anyway，life is still going on.
The past doesnt haunt us...its us who haunt past, we haunt it, so we look again, see the people we miss and things we miss about.我时常像剧中角色一样陷在(对堡的)回忆里无可自拔以此为乐，像个老年人
