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)
亚当桑德嘞都这么老了？都不笑了？
亚当桑德嘞都这么老了？都不笑了？
标准的体育传记电影，天才-被打击-努力-成就辉煌的固定模式虽然人人皆知，可是看起来还是依然热血沸腾，亚当桑德勒都要60岁了，还是展现出无与伦比的个人魅力，就是深爱这个平凡质朴的大叔。
很多球星只是单单出镜，就像路边顺路拍下来一样，跟主角故事走向有关系却的只有华子，从nba球迷的角度来看也没多太大意思
曾经很关注的nba迷表示，拍的挺有feel的
三星半，想起曾經初中時瘋狂看籃球的熱血日子。
球迷向电影，虽老生常谈，但又总能从中年危机与个人成长的双重救赎中感受到爱与激情。不得不说美国运动员个个有表演天赋，华子演的真好。
记得结尾最精彩！
Adam把一個專業人士演活了,obssessed and love his game,不是真愛籃球是不可能做出這樣的電影來的,尤其是一些很真實的細節.
老套励志片我好像还是吃的，以及想起了高中时候那个追NBA的自己
我们能预见类型的套路，却永远无法想象运动员付出过的汗水。痴迷比天赋重要，因热爱，永不熄火。放低要求的话，埃尔南戈麦斯居然演得还算过得去。爱德华兹那些台词可能都不用背，NBA日常问候语罢了。
傻呀！就应该重现霍华德机场追回Raj，当场表白，跟开头跟踪人家那段呼应啊！
感觉没有前段时间刷的同类型体育励志片好看…
一个平庸的故事如何被拍的这么好看，这剪辑，太好了
亚当桑德勒其实是配角，无奈男主不给力，除了纹身和腱子肉，演技完败。戏份都被桑德勒给抢了。
3.5⭐as himself
亮点太多 球迷专享 谁说50岁只有湿疹和疲倦 只要愿意 依旧可以大风车扣篮 别加胯下就行
2.5 剧本不是太成熟，没解决男一和男二之间的关系。这不是一个体育励志片，但激动人心的部分恰恰不是男一提供的，剧本的先天缺陷造成了这种结果。奈飞的电影感觉不如他们的剧集用心，很网络的感觉。感觉网络电影经常是听到一个还不错的创意，来不及或者成本原因不去更深的研究剧本。
3星半，故事老套，但是体育精神值的一看。对于NBA的球迷而言，这就是宝藏电影吧！
低谷的阶段非常短，但是更显的很燃。最后这个结局很赞，用生命在热爱这项运动，就是让它纵情燃烧。
