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)

还可以，短小精干，为啥没人找谢苗演戏呢，有点可惜
投资方瞎，热门评论瞎，演员瞎，除了片尾曲……都瞎！
因为预期低，结果超预期，快意恩仇，爽！但特效方面过度渲染，建议应该收敛些，注重实感而往拼死往视觉系靠拢。
童星出生的谢苗，演技和武打功底都非常扎实。以盲侠为主角的电影近年来还是比较少见的，我挺喜欢这种给人设做减法的主角，他们的弱项反倒成为影片中的看点。
这片是有人打了招呼还是咋的，打个二星还发不出广播了？
6.5分，放在今年来所看的华语网络大电影里算是质量最好的一部了（今天还看了奈飞出品的网络电影《终极拦截》，觉得也是一部在及格线左右的普通类型片，缺乏惊喜）。影片没有像之前的那部《无名狂》般一言不合就装逼要搞所谓的“新派武侠”，但近乎黑白的镜头语言不断的营造出一种乱世之下的肃穆气氛，动作童星谢苗（《新少林五祖》、《赤子威龙》等）也塑造出一个不苟言笑的剑客形象，在某种程度上也致敬了日本剑戟片《座头市》
厝边头尾的唠嗑，各种习俗的展示，婆媳关系的呈现，观影氛围极佳，作为潮汕电影能够抓住观影人群的笑点，尺度也把握得很好，笑中带泪，潮汕地区的某些传统理念直接与现代社会的碰撞，也能引起深思，最后一句：群众演员演技真的很自然，特别是妈咪！
3.5分。 谢苗的张涵予化，说不上演技到底多么高超，但的确适合他了，他找到了《集结号》里谷子地的状态，一个为了固执地不断追求某个信念的形象，看着还算过瘾。 不过这片子给人最大的感受，有两点，一个是对香港老派武侠片的复古，江湖与庙堂，草芥与权贵，公道与私利，这些极端二元对立的命题，在这部片子里再次得到重现。另一个则是香港黄金时期动作片里的“尽皆过火，尽是癫狂”的味道，用酒味来辨识方位，用刀刃来擦起火花，将琴弦用作杀人武器，皆是如此。
只能说，不过如此，算不上粗制滥造，但也才刚刚及格。女演员们的网红脸太出戏啦
挺良心的。谢苗可能永远也红不过小时候了，说起来有些伤感，希望他开心。
之前看过杨秉佳编剧的东北警察故事，这次看了他自编自导的目中无人，感觉并没有失望。他的风格蛮有些古早香港武打电影的风范，武打动作很流畅，画面也颇有大制作的风范。从头到尾都是咣咣咣地打，像超英片一样打得很爽。
三星半，短小精悍，干净俐落，镜头也有设计，但感觉审美有点日式。
作为本土电影当然力荐 有笑点有泪点 把潮汕习俗介绍的很到位 就是结局差点意思
是有点东西的网大，导演水平不糙，台词也不尬（不过最大bug就是瞎子不可能听不到女主被灭门的惨叫声），武戏可以，意境也营造到位了，有些镜头挺好看的
虽然不懂琴娘为啥莫名要回来等等 但是真的好看 又 好看
一个神奇的瞎子，无人能敌，无人能挡，杀尽邪恶，匡扶正义。北野武的《座头市》除了摆造型和小幽默以外，没啥太大特色，根本无法比拟《独臂刀》，只因为那是北野武。本片没有泼血，只有飘雪，比《盲侠》认真了一点而已。5
最后一场，一人一马，雪中对话的场景，简直不要太美了！凛冽、粗犷、残酷又热血！
这样的故事在中国很多吧
叫你模仿好莱坞的风格，！又没有叫你超越徐克的武侠片的模板，！，！，！😍
