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)
韩国海盗，究竟是最后的皇家宝藏还是鬼怪的旗帜？
韩孝周接戏的眼光真的是
比想象中要好的多，值的一看！刚开始有点 剑雨 的风格，深度比不上。近些年武侠片算是这部顶好的了！
能把姜河那和权相宇两位帅哥扮成脏兮兮乱糟糟认不出来也是真舍得，光洙演的小率真是又可怜又幸运，两次意外获得关键线索
场景就全靠特效啊，尬出翔，怀疑这是跟日本人学的演技，韩孝周个甜腻女主学什么孙艺珍啊，四不像，非得加感情戏，加的莫名其妙
胡闹乱搞，欢乐开怀，合格爆米花商业片。我承认是来看御姐海浪的，边裂开嘴哈哈大笑边看御姐流囗水的感觉真好。
看完有两个疑问：一是韩孝周怎么这么好看，二是她怎么会在这么个电影里面。
剧情流畅，演员演技在线，武术动作实在，比有大流量演员的剧要良心，值得一看
服装道具摄影都相当不错，不用理会故事情节。
小吴，我命运般的小吴😭 来点优秀的剧本吧😭（韩国片演员演戏也没有很自然嘛…都是有好有坏嗯…
普普通通而已，有点失望。可能因为李光洙而期待高了。
连第一部李成桂威化岛回军的背景都没变，换了个姿势又拍了一遍，而且比第一部更乱更吵闹。除了韩孝周的颜没有一个点好看的。
从电影里可以看出，导演很真诚也很用心的在讲故事，值得推荐的片子
还有船上的另一女的，平时那弓箭手不咋滴她，结果后来船遇到事故了，这个着急。
电影拍的出乎意料的好（能看下去，很多电影 看5分钟就关掉了呵呵呵），没有白白下载。导演在资金有限的情况下把握了本剧最最基本的真实感，比漫天乱飞以及1毛钱特表好10000倍。 剧情也还可以，片子有自己的风格，期待再创佳作。
全片就是＃这是在干什么 剪辑和剧情 都离谱
我觉得李光洙也就这样了，每个角色都很李光洙
还蛮奇葩的想象，本子不好，可惜了这一众演员。
前几天是连着看完1再看2的，哎，就我也不知道2他们这种演法是属于演技里面的哪一种？就原本以为是故意搞笑，但是后面呢又有点正经还在抒情，可是呢真的又很浮夸很像在拍综艺，全片闹来闹去不知道在干嘛（望天沉思）。but！！李光洙和企鹅那段真的好可爱哈哈哈哈原来企鹅抱在怀里是那种手感啊毛茸茸的，企鹅拯救了这部电影可以说。
江湖险恶，武林趋于真实。打斗是亮点，很耐看。有漏洞和不合理之处，但拍的总体算不错了。
