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)
虽然慢热，但人物塑造都很一般啊，情节发展也比较简单
影片中出现的通缉令上的照片也是史上流传下来据说是Billy the Kid的唯一照片。
每个男人都曾经是男孩，希望每个男孩都能变成男人。
笑死个人，一个冷门电影的短评还有人复制粘贴，给你俩点赞，让复制粘贴的火出圈。
论一部剧情简单的西部剧为何拍的这么有嚼劲，归根结底角色人物塑造成功对于一部电影是多么重要！国内就是差这个
杰克苏剧情。看完立刻又来了一遍3：10到尤玛镇洗了洗眼睛。
虽然是故事比较简单，场景也比较单调的一部西部片，但拍的还不错。这个年老单薄的农夫就是江湖传说的比利小子，在关键时刻拔枪射击，以一当十干脆利落。情节最后的反转也让他失去了生命，救了不该救的人，双方原来都不是好人。最后，本不甘于平淡的小儿子也持枪跨马，走出小屋，融入了西部苍茫的天地。
087 再村的地方都少不了不懂事的熊孩子…有点虎头蛇尾
非常Pure的西部体验，追踪、枪战，足矣。
联想自己：当遇到这种坑货，到底该不该救？答案是别救，钱也别拿，少管闲事。毕竟那么大片林子，就住两户人，屁股想想就知道可能是谁拿走了钱。活着才是最重要的！！！
节奏有些拖沓了，高潮部分“快准狠”还行，就是爽的过程着实太快
我虽然不知道比利是谁，但大受震撼。一个人的独角戏，跟配角一比就知道。
味道不错，有时代感，特别是对西部片质感无法抵抗，借着比利小子的故事讲了个农夫与蛇的故事
我要是做混蛋，就做纯粹的那种。因为，首先，我是个纯粹的人。
从《比利小子》到《雌雄大盗》，各类西部片看了超100部，印象最深的依然是韦恩的红河路艰，依然是荡气回肠的快意恩仇，大漠生死，各向一边，世事苍凉。
小家子气的，或者你可以称为内敛的，一部对八十年代西部片的印刻。
比利小子?_(:з」∠)_
节奏慢得惊人。为毛要先安排一场拿长枪与匪徒对峙的戏？
这电影前半部分多不错，干净利落，败笔全在最后的反转啊。①老亨利前面杀人那么的干脆利落，怎么会被一个受伤的翻拍追着给击伤了？枪战之后，居然放松了警惕，跟人设不符啊。②最后才发现那人胳膊上有标志。说明，老亨利以前就知道黑社会的人身上总有一些什么奇怪的标志的。那么，作为江湖老手，刚把这个人救回来的时候，难道不应该对其全身进行检查吗？如此警惕性高的人，居然被忽悠了。。③前面杀人的片段确实看得很爽，也把老亨利的人设给立住了，但后面的死实在的窝囊透顶了。。④既然老亨利都已经放弃江湖恩怨十几年了，打算安享晚年了，从他不让儿子学习射击就可以看出来，不想参合进江湖恩怨之中，那是铁了心的，为何开始还会去救那个人呢？？？⑤老亨利如此厉害的人设，养了这么一个白痴一样的儿子？
西部片给人的感觉总是混乱而又暴力，真怀疑当时人们怎么活下来的。正如老亨利，即便归隐又怎能逃得过这样的西部世界，混乱终有终结，希望正在路上，一如儿子远去的背影。
