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)
有点扯，做犯法的事还敢众人面前这么嚣张，背后又抓人家把柄，那不如直接抓把柄非要搞前面那一出还让当jc的姑爷和他爹知道这么个事。一帮人有枪还整不了一个jc.纯属扯淡。故事人物演的还行，就是不切实际。
可惜了 剧本太弱 不然苗哥可能就翻红了 希望以后有好武打剧多找找苗哥
难得的小电影拍出大制作的感觉，反正看着就是很爽，味道很正，推荐
全片看着很舒服，不拖泥带水，演员也都在位。不错
最后来一段宣誓仪式，再来一段字幕形式的判刑和普法，是不是都成惯例了？...
很不错，没有把观众当傻逼的电影就是好电影，谢苗很好👍
剧本真是渣，虎头蛇尾，但是打斗还比较棒，线下小众电影均分这个数已经不错了，选角还都挺好的起码不出戏
很燃的动作片，东北味的人物，很有爱(⑉°з°)-♡。
动作戏其实也就一般，剧情更是丝毫经不起推敲。还国外名牌大学回来的高智商？但凡脑子正常的人，就不会在没钱没实力关键还没后台的情况下公开聚赌，还威胁几十个商人还把计划公之于众，这不坐等着警察上门抓吗？看到最后才知道所谓海归原来去了国外就被人骗了，根本没上过大学，当了5年外国混子，最后弄个假文凭回来了，难怪想出这么无脑的计划，这倒是使剧情多少能说得通了，因为哥三脑子都不太好使，去年四平青年第三部的名字倒是挺适合这电影，“三傻罪途”。加一星，三星吧。
打戏真的可，好久没看过这种实实在在的打戏了。
在近几年谢苗出演的各类型网大中，这一部算是为数不多的中等佳作，按照网络电影的标准范畴，影片可以给出80分。
略显浮夸挺俗套，但还算是正常吧，毕竟国情使然（题材涉及的对象不能太乱来），而且总体进度不算磨叽
放在十几年前，这部电影的动作戏也就还行，放在现在，能比这动作戏好看的凤毛麟角。谢苗要火了。
这剧情美式犯罪，中式侦查。
故事简单，但是拍的质量挺不错的，节奏挺快，看得挺开心
中国能打的人还有很多，但是没有能拍的人了。
这个评分都有点低了吧 我觉得上7没问题，打戏看着就疼。ps：沃顿商学院出来就去东北呢噶啦当黑社会？
整體而言還算不錯的電影，尤其是那幾個反派演的還是蠻入骨的～劇情相對而言比較單薄，打戲可以～謝苗沒有小時候好看了
谢苗是帅的，打戏拳拳到肉，电影很东北，看完不亏。
谢苗这打得还可以啊，就是这剧情……国内武打明星断代真的挺严重诶。
