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)
笑点还是挺密集的，bug也是蛮多的，toma还是可以的。
还不如TVB的电视剧，结尾反转勉强算是亮点吧
曾药师应该是想牺牲亲儿子保集团利益吧，结果被廖叔玉石俱焚拉下水打了个全盘皆输。剧情和几位大叔大爷演技都还可以吧，打两星那些人太苛刻了。
不管怎么说，三池的这种荒诞无稽，鬼马神叨，还是很抓人的，谁的心里没有天真烂漫的那一面呢
但是，作死小分队的设置，各种灵异的设置，毫无新意。编剧吃屎呢吧，这根本就是个辣鸡片子。
真的太黑了所以鬼到底咋的抓人的你根本看不见。故事情节还可以，不同时间段的人穿越，还有里世界的感觉，恐怖氛围是够的，但就是没有特别出彩的地方。
鬼怪，穿越，循环，恐怖氛围感倒是烘托得不错，剧情就渣一样
剧本可以，一个通过鬼门时间穿越寻找真相的故事。剪的有点乱，结尾没交代清楚。整体比那些造噱头故弄玄虚的恐怖片好很多，如果能让时间线再清晰一些，画面清晰一些能上更高的分数。现在是怎么了？画面调亮点不给结钱是怎么的？非得黑乎乎的什么都看不清楚？可以适当用镜头语言渲染气氛，用力过猛就不好了。
剧情很烂，还不如TVB的一般律政剧流畅，可惜了很多好演员。
太暗很多場景會顯得很模糊，倒敘手法，原來男主都是那個死掉的人。
叙事零零碎碎的，最后就是死了不知道嘛，低配版灵异第六感，有几个镜头还是有些吓人
移植在《大逃脱》之类的真人秀节目中的话水平还算惊艳，但作为电影就差强人意了
结尾但凡处理好了，分还可以更高~故事还可以，就是有点烂尾…结局太仓促太理想化…这个片子告诉我们一个道理，那就是做人不能太善良，做人不能太规矩，有时候非常手段，该用就得用…要么投个好胎，不然死不瞑目…
真是一点都不吓人啊… 全是卡点出鬼。 没啥意思。另外男主每次挣脱女鬼以后在那狂发疯的表演设计， 真是太蠢了。
被害女生那么有钱有权还做三，恶意不要太大。
死亡循环，与其说是循环，更应该叫做执念，每个灵魂都在重复着死前的执念。其实梳理下时间线就会发现，有好玩的了……
这个电影里面所有的弹幕都在问如果受害人的父亲不是富商那么这个案子还能够真相大白嘛？
Give me more I want more
漫画都不敢这么画吧？看得我一愣一愣的，继续没节操。
取景和氛围还过得去，但技法不行。一上来就煞有介事地赋予主角某种使命感和异禀，但却没有足够的铺垫去解释动机，也没有对“驱魔”的能力进行深挖。开头就抛出几个名词解释，还要用字幕的方式讲解，生怕观众不知道影片想讲什么，然而导演确实自己都没有捋清逻辑，还指望观众去自行拼凑，试图在时空结构上做文章，但情节和线索的铺排杂乱无序。大部分时间只是几个角色在废楼里不断被“鬼打墙”，重复着“遇鬼-追杀-逃命”的戏码，剧情的推进却迟迟不见眉目。角色（无论是人或鬼）的行事逻辑也让人摸不着头脑。
