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)
2021.9.19 一般吧 白废我期待挺久 看来只有摩加迪沙和人质值得我期待了 这部没想到居然有点合家欢的感觉 还带有轻松的氛围是怎么回事？感觉就是韩国流水线出来的作品 请的演员也是有点名气又有点一般的那种 金社长厉害了 前几天刚出的dp和地陷 还挺高产 故事就是男主一家在长养洞买了新房 但居然搬进去才两星期 并且是同事来看望后的第二天就遭到地陷 整栋楼掉进地下250米处 一开始没找到儿子 后面找到了 本以为是119把他们给救上来的后面居然是他们靠着下暴雨然后坐上一个很大的潜水艇一样的黄罐子漂到上面的也离谱 这种房子我就好奇能通的过验收吗？也是离谱 还是首尔的房诶
矫情归矫情，煽情归煽情，救援队是扮演饭桶的吗？
对历史篇实在无感，周末被我爸按在沙发上陪他看电影，竟然有点好看，林则徐跟英国人对骂那段真的太爽了。
bug巨多的灾难子自救片，有喜剧的元素，然而总体上很一般，当然是格局小了，再加上前面半小时的铺垫有点过于拖沓，剧情冲突不突出，虽然很有创意但还是摆脱不了太普通。
乏善可陈。强行煽情，剧情想当然，拯救小组业余到不行。我期待什么时候能在中国电影上看到「山东栖霞笏山金矿矿难」。
两星半。本以为是灾难片，没想到是喜剧片。。太脱离现实以至于无法被感动。
4.8/10，喜剧元素也掩盖不了这是一部很烂的灾难片。
5.5分。我看了内容简介就觉得奇怪，这明明是部灾难片啊，怎么会挂着喜剧的名头？实际看下来。。。。。的确是喜剧。。。。这味道实在是太奇怪了。。。。
韩国的灾难喜剧片真的看腻了。都是一个模式。。
节奏慢得一塌糊涂，缺乏亮点，这个片子本身就是一场灾难。
明明是喜剧片，偏要写做剧情片，太多的为剧情服务的命运安排，这就也完全不能称作为灾难片，因为不真实。但作为喜剧片，大家看看笑笑，也就及格了，行了。
纯喜剧片，加了灾难元素而已，有日系早期的风格。
荒诞的剧情和浮于表面的喜剧处理，生出了个四不像的灾难电影。ps.看完后我感觉像刚遭遇了一场灾难。
影片给我最直观的感受是：从遗憾到释然再到惊喜和痛快。本以为影片着重描写林则徐这个禁烟、销烟的“民族英雄”，但看着看着发现林则徐被淡化了，这是略有遗憾的一点。紧接着又释然了，作为网络电影，写实而客观的讲述一个关心民众疾苦，矢志做一个济世匡时的正直官吏的故事真的能被观众认可吗？倒不如在动作、场面上下文章。最后，影片通过林则徐身边的人反映出当时大烟对百姓的危害对社会的危害，又有谢苗、杜玉明这些人畅快淋漓的打斗，这个影片已经给观众很多惊喜，已经算是成功了。
[2021.09.15 @bc] 最後半小時好看。
越看这种电影，越觉得旧中国从半封建半奴隶社会做到现在，是十分不易的
李光洙想做好演员的话那千万要远离typecasting
整个就是喜剧，挺完整的故事，也不过分煽情。
喜劇不夠笑點，災難片沒有緊張感，全員演的都是自己玩爛了的形象，全片沒有一絲驚喜
开头温馨的氛围营造得相当出色，本以为韩国最擅长骗眼泪，结尾应该挂掉几个配角，结果居然是一个大团圆，完全就是一部喜剧片啊...这坑，是不是哥斯拉在地球另一边放大招（原子吐息）造成的啊？
