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)
有杰拉德的地方必定陷落/永远别尝试与狼共舞~
我还要吐槽一下，那个女主的妹妹没事吧，她没事吧她没事吧😅😅
生活就如蛋壳，一撮就破，谨慎处事，远离坑货！
挺喜欢这种节奏的电影，循环递进层层深入，但这电影质量本身就差了。
快餐情景警匪片。说实话，开始的几个警察没有警惕被灭情有可原，可是最后回来这俩，目睹地上一堆弹壳一片狼藉甚至还有尸体的情况下，依然没有及时进入战斗状态，是不可理喻的！
莫名想起朱军与弦子的案件，还以为是西班牙片，查了才知道是阿根廷片。
“听RED不是必然是《有心论》和《两个人》嘛”
弗兰克·格里罗和杰拉德·巴特勒都是近来混迹于动作片的熟脸，两人同时出现在《警察局》中，影片的风格无需多言，肯定就是一通打打杀杀。
单动式左轮在UZI面前毫无还手之力。女警和巴特勒也太耐打了，巴特勒居然没穿防弹衣都没死？
如果是昆丁导，五星没跑 ，话痨，番茄汁，突突突，满屏硬汉都具备，可惜了。不过还是给四星，影片质感和剧情都不错，总结：骗子任何时候都别信，杀手除外，因为职业和诚信。
看简介时挺吸引人，结果看完失望透顶，支离破碎的时间线是悬疑片一个很重要的表现方式，所以看的过程中我也充满了期待，没想到最后草草收尾，知名作家到底是如何犯案的全然没有交代
密闭空间的悬疑犯罪枪战片，开头的一段西部蛮荒氛复古围包括配乐都塑造的极佳，全片紧张气氛和枪战镜头都拍的不错，多头叙事可惜却又各个浅尝辄止，最后时刻黑老大的短暂出现太过于突兀，往下拉分不少。
无法证明的因果律与复仇，猜忌和多疑到癫狂的女主人设，正与邪、施害与被害在混沌中不断的转换着，刀不韧血的肃杀感让人止不住抓耳挠腮。
片子影调和谐又不舒服，一个这么简单的海岛风光片也被赋予了这么多含义，最后尼尔和妹妹孩子一起签协议的镜头，到底是自我救赎，还是死前的良心发现，弗兰克真是能持续关注的导演
いつかフラッと現れてくれ
4.5分。除了女主的颜和身材，一无是处的烂片，男主老头那一脸欠扁的装叉样和无敌的o型腿倒是让人记忆深刻！好故事烂编剧的典型！

感觉还挺好看的，光看名称和封面就感觉内容也可以，就是有些地方在真实一点就更好看了。
真正的躺平。从才开始还编造护照忘了的借口，到后面什么都不想解释，但为了完成基础生存和社交关系只能勉强签下字。家人、巨额财产、国籍，什么不都想，至于异国艳遇，不主动不负责不拒绝。导演可能也想通过零配乐，来告诉观众躺平拍摄是一众什么体验。
前面做的铺垫虽然后面都用上了，但是还是很索然无味。后半个小时则是高能不断，但那个时候的观众早已提不起兴趣了。
