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)
虽然只是一部三星的电影，但是故事情节还有娱乐性让我必须打五星推荐一下，看完心情大好，因为她们做的事情并没有人因此受伤害，皆大欢喜！
除了同是明星被綁架這個大命題外，和原作有任何關係嗎？
看过一档优惠券综艺，看这个的时候特别有亲切感。
lurch实在太可爱了，我永远爱反差萌！
那只能打一星了😡
怎么一个爆米花犯罪片竟然认认真真探讨了婚姻生活和女性生育焦虑
当亚当斯也步入大众化流水线，喜忧参半。优点发现适宜过年合家欢，加入春节档电影豪华套餐，加一星吧
终于请来了一个好莱坞二流编剧
把一个被丈夫漠视的家庭主妇和三流屌丝销售员姐妹靠造假优惠券翻身致富的欺诈故事拍的很有意思，我看到女性自我掌控生活的力量，爽感喜感兼具，别杠所谓的三观和假正义
我的妈呀贝尔怎么老的这么快，呜呜呜，我的校探美眉。姐就是女王，自信放光茫，两个姐姐太飒啦
除了那个胖子中间一口咬定假的coupon从中国来的有点无奈之外 总体还算轻松有趣吧 周五下班后笑一笑 轻松迎接周末
有我家女主人的影子，原来使用出优惠券是会带来快感的，难怪
白期待一场，真是各方面都很难看的电影哈！没点智商就别出来绑架了吧，几十万块去便利店抢点硬币都比绑架影帝来钱快
一般啊，章鱼叔叔大战异形博士。。。奇奇怪怪的抱错孩子狗血剧情。。
最近几年这种快节奏犯罪爽片好多 不过这个主题很新奇故事也很有趣 利用看似人畜无害的优惠券造成几千万的损失 也点出用优惠券为的不是省钱而是那种快感 居然有Bebe
开头还让我挺有爆米花性质的 结局真的有点烂了
碰上疯子型绑架犯除了靠运气和自我抗争确实也没啥办法，就是这么随随便便就可以绑到一个大明星，倒也是运气
我个人还是喜欢这个版本的，至于漏洞这些么我觉得是大多数导演的通病，比如逃走不带武器，抢过枪来又无故丢弃，坏人总是开挂-怎么着都弄不死，警察总是粪草，啥也不是……但化妆这些我觉得胜原版一筹，细节把控到位，鼻子骨折明显可见。
挺好看！有点完美主义，但小coupon怡情，大coupon坐牢 lol
