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)
剧情比上半年的《非常保镖》好很多，虽然也存在一些bug，但胜在剧情流畅，期待优映接下来的作品
小人物的悲欢离合，结局算是HE！(邵半仙的角色太深入人心了)
学不到疯狂系列的精髓，只学了个表皮。一晚上发生的事情，剧情点过于多了
包哥：真牛逼！ 希望李洪绸团队多出好电影
这部我觉得不大行啊，看来李洪绸确是团队核心。
演员演技都在线，讲的道理也接地气，情节略显夸张失逻辑，国产低成本电影算不错了，支持一下！
爽片！！！骗老人钱的都应该去坐牢，坐！！！牢！！！！！！！啊！！！！！（河东狮吼ing）
各种细节、伏笔、彩蛋做的是真棒，宣传做的是真差。作为网大很不错了，相比上一部保镖更喜欢这部，感觉进步很大。多加一星，祝只拍不播剧组早日做大做强上院线。
这群人总是很有想法。虽然都不是大制作，但是故事上总是很有趣味。

3.5，硬伤有点多，结局太一般，精彩的小段乱不少
作为网大可以给四星，希望优映更上一层楼，早日出能上院线的片子吧。
怎么说呢，依旧是优映那个模板那个套路，看多了也少了些惊喜感，放作是毛骗杀不死这种情节里，也许因为篇幅问题可以有更好的延申，然而叙事的节奏并没有比电视剧更快或者更好，这部电影大约和杀不死的两三集节奏体量是差不多的，且这是网大，局面上和氛围上比之一般电影还更加逊色一节（哪怕是囧系列类网大院线，也因为制作足够精良而会有更好的视觉体验），娱乐情况下尚可，但这部电影的整体观感我感觉还略逊于之前的《非常保镖》。
真希望他们这伙人未来有朝一日能真正拍得起大电影。
从《毛骗》系列跟过来的老粉，这一部完成度挺好的～
有点冗长且无聊，后面的几个伏笔都呼应了。整体一般。
这是我见过的的士最多的电影。
搞笑吧也不是很搞笑，悬疑吧也不是很悬疑，但是能看的下去，就是无法割舍对毛骗剧的情怀。只能说这些年看到工作室越来越有钱很欣慰（雇了那么多出租车哈哈哈）
只能说一句不愧是你，无数巧合似的黑色幽默，尽管粗糙还是希望看到毛骗团队，不，事大学生那些事的团队一路一起走下去，虽然已经有很多人下车了，但也依然不断有人在上车，依然有邵庄、杨羽、安宁、邢冬冬、车志刚n位从未下车的老司机，这就够了。
