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)
为什么要让40岁的Maggie Q和70岁的老白男基顿睡到一起？三观不正，不讲政治正确，差评！
烂片完全没有逻辑。Maggie Q中枪3次还能移动自如。最后和Micheal Keston对枪也毫无道理。床戏是为了床而床，还盖个手掌。
虽然还没搞清楚为什么一言不合就开打，但李美琪这种另类立体感亚裔性冷淡风已经深刻地俘获我的审美了，瘦削冷血却处处流露着令人难以抗拒性感的冷艳美人大致就是如此吧。有点低配版史密斯夫妇的感觉，感觉结局是男主最终彻底陷入对女主的爱所以放了她一马，或者缴械心甘情愿被杀，开放式结局感觉续集有望。核心不错，不是纯枪战或滚床单式歌颂爱情伟大，总在强调人与自己的阴霾过去和解的重要性，不得不说真敢拍，本以为只是在剧中大女主作为亚裔需要抹黑越南彰显西方国家的优越性以摆脱懦弱童年时期留下的心理创伤，现实中演员居然也还真有越南血统！好莱坞美式文化洗脑宣传部真有手段，近年来给诸如李美琪奥卡菲娜吴恬敏这类美籍亚裔女真正有点分量的资源之前，都得先给他们这种抹黑抵制第三世界国家并明目张胆地与自己血统的来源地划清界限的考验。
挺好！喜欢。俩人的床戏似乎是政治任务加进去的。没这段毫发无伤。
看之前的预期有多低，看后就会有多意外，妥妥的惊喜之作，用各类武器和日常用品杀了四十多个敌人，真是出乎意料的精彩。
别被评分骗了，是部好看的动作惊悚片，这个完成度很不错了，现在很少这类型的片了，起码比那个啥火药奶昔好两分。
70 岁的大爷了… Maggie Q 找个小四十岁的搭档吧…
211031@ cjt 看完了发现好像看过；有钱人请人杀自己，然后杀追查自己（儿子）的人
看个热闹吧，最不可思议的是女主躲过了七八个人的追杀逃出大楼，竟然一出门被车撞，逗我玩呢？
剧情老实说没太老看明白，大概看得也没很认真，边玩手机边看，不过动作戏挺干脆，就是和炮友眉来眼去的不知道在干啥，Maggie Q都43了，还是很有魅力~
[视]R血，微露。大女主杀手，旧蝙秃鹫和弗瑞，子弹作用力、溅血效果还行，动作戏硬汉风，东南亚中华元素，小女主像春夏。鹦鹉螺提醒，迈克尔·基顿今天生快
当然你不能指望西方人了解1991年越共已经提出《社会主义过渡时期国家建设纲领》了。
有些电影就是看了就看了，不知道说什么好，可能是看了个寂寞吧。
只是跟基顿的搭配太怪异了，完全没有代入感啊
老不死的塞缪尔上演的一出喜剧，下饭可以，但中规中矩，没有啥亮点
前半部分是不错的类型片，出现装13白男之后开始崩。MQ依旧美艳利落，只是可惜了，非要塞进个白男，不然拍个极寒之城那样的酷爽打片不好吗？
Maggie Q仍然很美很飒身材很好，但故事真是不行，尤其前一刻打的死去活来的两个人下一刻突然就滚起了床单，我就不是很能理解了。
目睹父母被杀害，成为顶级杀手后，师傅又被害，后面的故事应该都猜得到
太无聊了，浪费了我15分钟。文戏稀烂，打戏也跟过家家一样，公主醒来大开杀戒，遇到的几个反派男跟降了智一样。放条狗上去都比他们强。
