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)
除了范伟其他人物性格基本为零，动作场面也是乱七八糟，节奏控制很烂让人感觉不到紧张感~5.0
制作得很正，味道是对的。但很遗憾整个本子太平了，人设从出场的一刻就是“死”的，无法让观众有任何对其命运变化的好奇心，只是按部就班的抗日传奇剧，这很致命。
之前在想看的时候我说就怕这个导演，果然，演员都到位了，但是片子却让人看的着急，整体节奏太慢了，一点紧张感都没有，导演对电影的调度包括战争场面的处理简直可以用糟糕来形容，而且，情绪没有到位，就推感情，真的让人共不了情。全片也就范伟炸汉奸那段儿有味道，然后就真的不敢恭维了，可惜了一众好演员。
用武侠片的思路拍抗日故事。比较惊喜的是，这部影片能看得出导演意识。美术与摄影有质感，场面调度也有想法。导演尽量用镜头与人物的动作带出信息量。这种追求腔调的做法可能比较剑走偏锋，却是非常不错的尝试。范伟老师的表演一如既往得好。

衰老者不甘与失落和对年轻的渴望主题在恐怖片中挺新颖，但是铺开和演出平庸无趣且冗长
女演员都难看，剧情老套，无外乎就是荒野人家，对来客大屠杀的那一套。
揉合了《悬崖之上》和《长津湖》的影子，当然就两边都比不上。
演员演得不错，就是电影节奏略有拖沓，普通战争片，靠背景音乐往上烘情绪，拍摄手法不高级。

气氛营造不错，画面有真实感，范围演技好。缺点有目共睹。
整体略平淡，但范伟老师永远的神！他和煤小子的支线很动人“我们没有血缘关系，甚至彼此不熟悉，但我们都是同一片土地上的父子兄弟”。
完成度还是蛮高的，一直看下去，一丝的龇牙咧嘴、一丝的诡异，片中各种的隐喻，估计一些人没有代入感是看不下去的。
小日本子真是欠收拾，对付穷凶极恶的畜牲得智勇双全，风再大赶路也要看路，老洪，老王…铁道英雄永垂不朽。
不急不躁。鱷魚潭與閃靈斧還有藍色恐懼的浴缸，如若《Get Out》的富白人不能將靈魂移植年輕肉體。撕殺場面乾淨利落，高潮戲笑！翻！全！場！
红色经典翻拍很难，的确有些成功的样板戏，但是都一个套路叠加就成了大乱炖的缝合怪啦，哎，就不要再毁童年啦
这本就不是个公平的对决，幸好这片土壤上从不缺乏挺身而出的真英雄，打出一波又一波的助攻。
能智取威虎山又能扒火车的张涵予，讲老王的故事能把日本子忽悠瘸的范伟，两大主角YYDS。
范伟开大太帅了，雪花手绘非常感人，不过决战略沉闷，整体节奏有些过于压抑平缓。
服化道行，剧情不行，范伟行，导演不行，后面真就讲了个你奶奶的腿，最后为啥不直接拆铁路？
