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)
个别段落拍的是不错，但片子整体还是不够吸引人，显得很一般了
但还是有点趣味游戏的味 女主的腿也很好斯哈
2022032不知道为什么豆瓣打了这么低的评分，这是我近两个星期以来最DigIn的片子了。简直是末日战争公路片的冰雪版本，虽然人物刻画和剧本冲突不够完美，但依然不能掩盖它的亮点。当一切理想主义的光辉和使命摆在切身的亲情爱情利益面前，可能都不值一提，所以这才是人们想发明机器人的主要原因吧——没有情感和冲突去解决问题的最佳办法
反正看这片别考虑太多逻辑。没啥不能白天的时候穿白色，晚上穿黑色？为啥和狙击手合作的时候敌人不一早朝他们扔炸弹？。。。
是什么家装公司赞助的电影吗？卡子哥那么壮还打不过一个蛇蝎美人，离谱。
变态女杀手可以独自美丽啊，为啥要有个变态继父，最后因为心软还被反杀了，烂尾差评警告⚠️
倒不是因为剧情 却也是因为剧情 有点血腥和惊悚 看得我有点不舒服 但又肾上腺素作祟 所以还是看完了 但真的希望自己以后能及时关掉 惊悚片真的不适合我 太可怕了 导致我对陌生人更恐惧了
男主你作为《哥谭》小丑，陨落骑士团的绝地武士，居然被两个小骗子打得遍体鳞伤丢人不？
我很喜欢这种有趣的低成本电影，节奏很棒。美女养眼还有演技，五星。
女主很美，影片很黄暴，别的没啥了。不知道为什么影片后半段要给一个女主其实对男主有一些感情的暗示？
小成本战争片，网飞经典套路，不过这部的剧情真的太常见了，总之我看睡着了。。。

冰刀上的战争，寒风凌厉的冰面加上肃杀四起的战场，为母则刚的坚持，战争摧毁的不止是城市更是人性的底线
一个人在一望无际的冰面滑行的时刻，值得 2 颗星
女主很美，很美，美的可以为所欲为且不让人计较演技
三星半。故事还是有点看头的，虽然设定有些诡异。摄影值得。
无聊的故事+主题，无聊到这么完整、演员演得这么卖力，令观众动容。
情节3，表演3，画面3，寓意1，尿点2 = 12/25，48分电影
既然是战争题材，那为什么而战或者为什么反战至少总得说清楚一个吧，否则还有些什么呢？火爆的战争场面？北欧的冰雪风光？然而也都没有，最后只剩一堆毫无逻辑的笑话。唉，北欧这些高度发达国家现在连拍片都这么精分了吗？
