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)
人物介绍：美国东厂；故事梗概：任务失败；塑造人物花了半小时，又花了半小时主角进入任务…然后电影已经演了大半正题才刚开始…然后火速收尾…
乳美多给一星，希望导演不要突然身中八枪。小成本动作片，剧本大纲没问题，台词欠打磨，导演没有装逼技巧，不知道孤胆英雄动作片就是得装，全程看主角挨打逃命，换个港片导演估计可以八分
着实还是中年危机惹的祸呀...剧情台词挺考究，整个格局比较沉重压抑，也预示着前方的路充满阴霾，不同于推翻阴谋的孤胆英雄，这确实是个沉重心塞的故事。派恩这眼神越来越像本尼西奥德尔托罗了
★★☆ 过于俗套的剧情，枪战戏也没觉得有多精彩
一贯的印度爽片风格，就像网络爽文一样，印度片找到了一群准确的用户群体，就看着爽就行了，但像我这种要求比较高的难免会多说一句：反派太弱了，一开始进入时的金属人我还以为是最终要对战的，结果结尾那么简单就没了
整体表现都不错，剧情、演技，唯一难受的点还是苦情戏码，很难共鸣。
什么都好 就是战力太不平衡了，
在新冠疫情的当下，该片有着超越动作片的价值。疫苗，病毒，科学家，生意。
最后男主呐喊不要成为父亲那样抛妻弃子的人，动作场面拍得很一般
典型的模板化影片。这种感觉就有点像是。。夏天吃个西瓜，只管啃就是了
可惜了 本福斯特 感觉演啥都是没好下场
剧情1分，战术10分，武器装备10分，终于有个特种作战的电影正儿八经的用上了HK416 a7了，再也不用M4对付事了，真不容易。
大兵退役 雇佣于私人组织 德国疫苗 战友为了帮助干掉反派老板而牺牲
抛去各种槽点和漏洞，把世间险恶讲的很清晰，人性够黑暗。
剧情太牵强，也没解释为什么主角要被追杀。6.9/10.
清明假期以烂片结尾，好片越来越难寻。动作片连动作戏都不好看，真是药丸。
剧情没啥逻辑，文戏也没啥推动剧情的意义。也就柏林枪战有点意思。
很好莱坞套路，但还是不错，动作戏满满，大片即视感
枪战和动作戏好看，剧情就算了吧……Chris Pine还是帅，请演两部爱情电影吧
总体结构还是中规中矩的，略微有一点不合理的地方也无伤大雅，只有男主的朋友结尾帮他助攻站在那里自杀式表演有点儿无法忍受！打不死的小强被打死了，现在他很少拍电影，都是在电视剧里出现了！
