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)
1. 在中国根本不能实现
姐姐真是可爱又creepy哈哈，还混进了克苏鲁元素可还行LOL
3星，轻松诙谐的故事片，生动流畅， 没有说教，没有大道理，看着很轻松，推荐观看。
真实改编看着跟商业片一样，当商业片看就会感觉还不错
人类真的是，千方百计搞钱，搞来了之后又大笔挥霍。
演技都没得说。剧本真的无聊 整部剧绑架 追击 互殴 枪炸药 什么元素都有了 可是就是一点都不刺激不紧张
看的剪辑剧情感觉还行，居然是真实事件改编，等有空看看正片
谁能想到 hjm演戏痕迹最重的一次竟是演他自己…
韩国人的剧本确实强，改编就是在你知道剧情的情况下还让你跟着跌宕起伏。
终于请来了一个好莱坞二流编剧
为了李演员看的电影，虽然镜头有些少，但还是很惊艳的（手动狗头.jpg）剧情一般，男主后面的战斗力爆表好突兀。
清汤寡水平铺直叙的故事，到底是金钱诈骗还是人生励志！努力拼搏了的人生才是精彩的人生！
喜欢一些无厘头喜剧，每次到loser二人组就没有bgm笑死我了
只要看过原版，自然就会进行比较——除了黄政民可能会胜出一些，其他都不太行
故事的发生就很直接，大明星被绑架了，然后疯狂逃亡，一边是警察在追击凶手，动作戏港味挺浓的，一边是咖啡店被绑架老板还有实习生。
《绝命毒师》之“绝命消费券师”。把一个欺诈故事拍得有种莫名的正义感，更把故事上升到要在世界发出声量的主旨- -从《舞女大盗》再到接下来Pete Davidson那部炒鞋的电影，STX这类“流行文化”犯罪式喜剧+电视/喜剧咖狂欢的组合驾轻就熟，也永远吃准人；作为假日电影，再好不过。Bell妞和Kirby恰好也在《善地》合作过，有火花，还圆上这是两人在剧集宇宙里“生前”的生活的另类想象；Paul Walter Hauser也再次证明自己值得一个单人的查案片，《库伊拉》后渐入佳境。整体卡司讨喜，让人放松- -对喜剧，也就这点奢望。
Couponing Goes Criminal
除了同是明星被綁架這個大命題外，和原作有任何關係嗎？
它离经叛道，它超乎常规，但有点温暖是怎么回事
咸鱼翻身的另类案例，片子风格适当轻松，人物演绎很有特点，导演剧情节奏把握很好，片子看的很喜欢，赞！
