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)
看的很难受啊，人物逻辑都很奇葩，没一个舒服的角色。最后是一个劝人别打架的主题？
看着有王家卫的味道，让我想起了《东邪西毒》。没有花里胡哨的杂耍动作，只有刀刀致命的简单粗暴，虽然剧情还是能看到开头就大概猜到结尾，围绕的冲突还是推出江湖，但对于一个网大，以及这帮新生演员和导演来说，着实是不易的。
甄姬儿会玩，男主一，男主二问题都不大，其他角色很奇怪。
比网大质量好，但也有很多效仿痕迹，前三十分钟叙事密度流畅度不错，后面剧本力度上不太行。
真的是比相当多的院线电影强太多了。
影片还算完整。动作有瑕疵。剧本拉胯，对白有尴尬，衔接（剪辑）有问题，武侠味较欠缺。但我看完了。
命运都是幻像，一切早已发生。
黑人西部复仇电影，没啥意思。倒数5秒数到3就开枪，是活下来的真理。
比想象中的网大要好。看得出来导演很想跟绣春刀类型上靠，但是编导水平还有待提高。起承转合过快。演技比较稚嫩。武打动作还算过得去，刀刀溅血、打戏无慢动作这些特点值得重点表扬，但是毕竟成本也看得出来有限，故事整体格局也较小。期望导演的下一步作品能更上一层楼！
网大已经可以磨出这般质地的片子，加一星，以资鼓励
剧情一塌糊涂，节奏把握的很差劲，唯一的亮点是鬼刀林和长刀客两人在坟头拼刀的部分，在这里武指有大师风范了，懂得藏巧于拙。其他地方就不行了，两人最后那一段拼刀也很一般，完全就是比狠了。
没事还可以看看，起码场景和镜头真实，动作戏中规中矩，没有玄幻！
西部动作片氛围拉满，但论剧情不值四分，男主角的女人单枪匹马去红木城打探情报这还不算是赤裸裸的送人头？反派阵营里那个快枪手长得蛮帅但放冷枪真的败好感，人之将死其言也善大坏蛋该死但也是个可怜人
剧情前半段感觉就是另一个版本的林冲呀，奸人居然也叫陆谦，一样的阴险。林大卫，一样的姓林，一样的被陷害，被发配，一样的老婆被人惦记，一样的被买凶谋杀…… 出品人还说这个剧本有人要，呵呵了……
黑人版西部片，就蛮莫名的…boss你好歹挣扎下吧？
刷新了我对网络电影的观感，看得出有在努力的拍一部好片给观众，比一堆无厘头的网大强多了，满星鼓励
揉合了东邪西毒、绣春刀、林冲、倭寇的踪迹、剑雨、双旗镇刀客、聂隐娘等佳作，获得了八宝什锦饭一般的这部网络电影。出于鼓励，打到三星吧。明显感受到剧本力量不足，导演也可以借此多多练手。
道理我都懂，但是既然30年前就有《双旗镇刀客》了，30年后还拍这种片子作甚。🤡
3+1星。真好，2022年了，还有人在坚持拍这种没有热度、没有流量的电影，还有人没有放弃武侠。这部电影看到了很多前辈的影子，打斗场面挺不错的，就是故事简单了点。
有名字的角色都是黑人，仅有的个白人就是路人甲，充满BLM和LGBTQ等所谓政治正确的烂片，烂到无懈可击
