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)
寻着liedownplease来看的 我真是看不得电影了
6.5/10 两位女主全程没互动，这不是纯浪费卡司？
看的时候觉得是个很老派的故事，有种特别的冷酷和直接，原来是翻拍的片子……现在的黑色故事反倒充斥着矫情和虚伪。电影水平非常一般，库柏演得还不错。但是男演员健身过度本体先于角色的存在真的不是啥好风气😑
[B-]你说它差吧，前半段拍的又比较完美。用场景来刻画人物心理和表现人物的心理这两点做的非常好，把马戏团拍得诡异，恐怖来反衬男主的心理。你说它好吧，后半段的整体剧情太拖沓了，拖了半天后面也并不怎么精彩，给人一种冰火两重天的感觉。很催眠，只能说中规中矩，能看就行
有点好猜，逊于期待，后面我都开始两倍速了。另建议改成三集迷你电视剧。
小女被忽悠的做事，升职加薪还感谢老板（不过随着剧情的推演 ，扮猪吃虎谁又知道谁才是聪明的呢？最后各方都得到想要的）
有点浪费时间，剧情复古，服化道合格，演员怎么集体掉线？脱节了。
环境布置还不错，很有时代气息，展现出来的内容很不入肉，应该着重突出心理学方面的内容，把主角的成魔之路再刻画得深刻些。
但是如果这种道路走到了极端，走到了为了利润而忽视一切风险，那么结果是什么？
无限趋近于我最爱的那种电影。这是一种真正参透了古典好莱坞魅力才能呈现出的光影与运镜魔法，近些年史匹堡喜欢走这个路子，但他真正完成度高的也基本只有《华盛顿邮报》；斯科塞斯赞这片也很能理解，某种意义它就是又一部更浓稠的《爱尔兰人》。只是布拉德利库珀的念白真难听啊，真是一种毫无意义的口齿不清
如此强大的阵容，却只让人看到一个平庸的故事。心怀恶魔的小镇青年一直想出人头地，缺不料强中更有强中手，被人玩弄于股掌间，最后只能回到原点。但里面对于为何弑父却没能提供有力支撑；对于演砸的拿出戏，铺垫很多但高潮不够……导演一直在用一种节奏，比较平乏。
德托罗本身不擅长黑色类型片，再加上现在是其创作低谷，一出白开水作品。摄影和布景的精致也显得苍白。
可能是没看过老版所以主观上对整体故事有很强吸引力，所谓老酒换新瓶，看人手法不看原始配料，所以想起几年前老头也有一部《魔力月光》比这部轻松惬意多了~
2个半小时。。。好长。减一星。。
4.5，没看过原作，2.30小时不觉得长，意犹未尽。
机关算尽太聪明，反误了卿卿性命。
成功靠实力，运气，机会，等等等等，很多东西，失败只靠欲壑难填
第一幕马戏团篇幅虽然很陀螺但是和后面的故事太格格不入了，完全割裂开了
可能因为期待不高也没看过原版，觉得还行，后半段的剧情转折还是挺喜欢的，前面马戏团部分稍微长了点儿，长到以为前半部分才是故事核心，其实只做个铺垫就好。大魔王今年第二次扮演要散发性魅力的女人了，还是比跟小李子有火花多多了。
