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)
blue jeans怎么可能是worse than nazi呢！
优雅精致的戏幕，情节环环相扣层层递进，但是整个剧情都显得勉强和刻意
整部片子的場景都在裁縫鋪之中，無需槍林彈雨，也無需豪華特效，僅僅憑借人物間對話露出的豐富信息，便足以讓人膽戰心驚。電影質感更突出一種老電影獨有的味道，昏黃的光線，細節到位的服化道，都猶如一杯咖啡回味無窮。電影將一個人畜無害的老紳士外殼，套在了一個歸隱從良的黑幫屠夫身上，更借由“套裝”，將幾大黑幫之間的明爭暗鬥全部收納在一裁縫鋪中。導演在講述的不僅是一個剪裁匠退隱江湖、等待復仇的故事，更是將這種技術完美的融合進電影之中，測量、剪裁、熨燙，正是劇情節奏的把持，謊言真相的契合。
十个杀手或者好几个警察打不过一个疯子，两个疯子打不过一个马东锡，总体马东锡是大超……
这种在密闭室内发生整个故事的低成本电影多么适配防疫居家期间观看 连观感都透着魔幻现实主义
好喜欢这种空间有限的全靠剧情不断反转的小成本戏。上次看到同类型的还是很多年前的《惊世狂花》。
没看明白！莫名其妙！裁缝的动机在哪里？他怎么就知道拉封丹黑帮在哪里！又准确的把黑老大支过去火并呢？逻辑说不通的地方不少！
无论西装还是陷阱，无非是精巧地勾画设计加上精准地剪裁实施。单一场景内的环环相扣完成得不俗，但受限于视听调度和质感营造，没能带动出更大的叙事能量和情绪张力，Mark Rylance的演出可能是最大亮点所在。三星半
最让我感动的是老裁缝最后和那个女孩之间的对话。突然想到了Xavi

单一场景小成本又一力作，老头边说边缝缝补补的细节很精彩，像凶险的蜘蛛一样耐心的布局织网，在这里逻辑显然不再重要，一切看似不可控而精彩，又胜在狡诈的应变和好运连连的主角光环，让老头这一角色人物更生动丰满
大爽片，匕首斧子砍刀乱战媲美黄海了，马东锡碾压式的实力真硬派。
好适合舞台化的剧本啊 节奏转折都卡的很好 全程都能吸引人 全员演技在线 近段时间难得有这么舒适爽快的观影体验了
①过程很精彩，但事后缓过神来一咂摸，觉得不是那么回事——无论生活还是观影，常常有这样的情形，这部电影最大的问题是裁缝闹这么大动静，冒这么大风险的直接动因，并不够有说服力；②表演方面几位主角几乎满分，男主是《间谍之桥》里那个口头禅是「害怕有用吗」的那位苏联间谍，年轻女前台也不错，微表情丰富准确；③创作这种类型的电影，意料之外不难，情理之中不易，吸睛靠的是前者，但后者才真正考验编剧智商。3.75星
不得不说马东锡的魅力，一拳……又一拳，看的就是过瘾痛快。影片开头就致敬了《釜山行》《寄生虫》，刚到越南的时候，想起了《国际搜查》、《从邪恶中拯救我》，菲律宾泰国越南，不是一个国家，国情都差不多。接下来的节奏极其流畅，很自然就转回国内。全程很“暴力”，但搞笑又轻松，配乐想起了《老手》。最后制服孙锡久的时候，锡哥极其给力。朴智焕的人设，完全可以猜到，丝毫没有剧透的感觉，表演的夸张是《我们的蓝调》的延续，太搞笑了。
看马东锡和孙锡久两个人间大凶器干架，爽就完了，还要啥自行车！
喜欢！好精彩！看得太过瘾了！！机关算尽老裁缝🤣
神·马东锡的拳，不是泰拳的拳拳到肉的紧张和刺激，而是一巴掌呼死人渣的舒畅和爽快。
非常舞台剧化的一部电影，戏剧冲突全在裁缝店的普通一晚上演，几次反转，但结局并不意外，反而是有些刻意？真的太像一部舞台剧了。
