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)
打得就是 cheesy 爱情轻喜剧牌，但是笑点和煽情点都实在是……太稀疏了。
标准爆米花电影谈不上多精彩但也不算难看，这套卡司多少是有点浪费
Zaddies and one cougar.
感觉是没经费的寻宝片，没啥大场面，无聊可看，毕竟电影配色还是很喜欢的。
比荷兰弟的《神秘海域》好看多了，以及布姐不会老的吗？呜呜呜爱了
就和女主写的带点冒险成分的通俗爱情小说一样，随便看看～ 开头还蛮搞笑的，后面就比较俗套……
让人哈哈一笑的逗比冒险动作片，钱老板和桑婆的搭配没有得到想要的效果，反而是逗逼的不辣的皮特嘻嘻哈哈得让观众眼前一亮。
completely clichéd adventure plot, mediated by actually funny repartees.
属于真的很蠢但是真的会笑那种电影。感叹一下蛋妞的蓝眼睛真的绝美
皮特挂掉之前挺有意思，后面最大看点应该是屁股了。
建议华纳赶紧找罗琳和德普翻拍此片，保留丹尼尔雷德克里夫的角色。满足老年迷妹的爱情幻想。
看着欢乐，搞笑，轻松，标准爆米花电影，可以了……
我国院线上了这么一部一星都不值的烂片。看到2/3就放弃了。稳提金酸梅了。
皮特一定是因为档期紧张才拿的阴间剧本，桑婆钱老板，大妞配壮汉，可惜无脑帅哥很难嗑
冲着这卡司也要去看看/开头就来个搞笑版的反转再反转，三步不忘本行的钱老板出场太有喜感了，终于看到非苹果的笔记本了。丛林大冒险是我喜欢的题材，尽管老套了点。总体观感比较轻松愉快，比前段时间荷兰弟那部未绘制的地图好看一些。p.s. 片尾有彩蛋。
挺一般的 及格线徘徊 但是有些地方挺好笑的
格式都对但就是不再有惊喜和乐趣。这就是此类型现在的困局。桑德拉真就演这种驾轻就熟，保有魅力。
很 无 聊，说喜剧，不好笑，说动作，没啥动作，可能唯一看点就是查宁秀身材了。
皮特一定是因为档期紧张才拿的阴间剧本，桑婆钱老板，大妞配壮汉，可惜无脑帅哥很难嗑
畅销小说家的探险之旅，紫色亮片大V字領服装太性感抢眼了吧，“傻大姐”桑德拉布洛克永远神经喜感女神！布拉德皮特的退役军官身手不错，飘逸的金色长发和胡须还是那么迷，与美女女主放电一枪中的太冤！哈哈，也是挺欢乐带冒险的电影！
