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)
整体还行吧 真实事件改编 这几个字最戳人
居然是根据真实事件改编的，韩国电影总能拍出一些惊醒世人的作品。看完细思极恐，连发达国家韩国都有这种企业，更别说中国的企业了，我们所有用的吃的都防不胜防，明明可以活到100岁的我们可不想因为那些有毒产品英年早逝啊。
细想想，世界人口60亿，作为其中之一，真的是小到可以忽略不计，足够渺小和无用。
台词真的敢说 很现实 比如因为美国人死了才重视
都很可怜但是都不无辜be like，看后半截的时候简直怀疑中秋看前五十分钟哭成狗的自己是不是看了两部片。从无数网友感动留言和视频开始一路崩，尬到饭都吃不下去后面半快进着看完了。什么鬼。
韩版黑水，多年之后希望不要有什么消毒湿巾的黑料曝出来
消费者权益保护主题，没想到还有这么骇人的事。影片本身而言是典型的韩国套路，每一处情节演进都在意料之中。还是希望泡菜少一些此类的僵化拍法。
事实很沉重，影片拍得有些单薄。和黑水等类型片还是不能比，不过能拍出来就已经很难得了
所以，腐败的，到底是体制、还是人本身呢？ps：配乐和节奏真的是不错！单纯就看完当下的观感体验来说，7分以下是不是给的太低了？
就挺一般的，真实事件倒是很震撼，但这部的导演水平剧作水平都没什么亮点，满满电视剧感。。
医生剖开发妻的胸膛，看到被资本毒害的肺脏。庶民坐在正义的殿堂，直面被金钱操纵的人心。杀菌剂故事的背后，是普通人捍卫生命权之路仍充满公仆的冷漠与法度的荒谬。诚然是邻国一部普普通通的流水线作品，但它的存在代表着诘问的声音，仅此一项，值得尊敬。
叙事平淡 但还是有被最后感动到 互相推诿那段看得火大 没有人愿意站出来为无辜逝去的生命道歉 为了追逐利润连本心都要丢掉吗？类似案件倒是想起了三鹿奶粉事件 羡慕他韩啥也能拍的创作环境 我们需要被看见 现实意义始终大于一切
挺套路的，胜在演员认真自然吧。韩国也挺奇怪的，明明各种恶性事件都能拍成电影也算“知耻”吧，却没见它“后勇”
歌还是好听的。但热点元素得堆砌感有些浓重了。
要不是我很喜欢音乐，我半小时就会退出这个电影。没办法共情……
刚开始看预告片主演没变的时候很激动，然而看完正片完全无感。跟《身在高地》一样说不上失败，但是原作的形在魂不在的改编。
最擅长的题材都拍不好了，或者是美好好拍。看着完全不是那个节奏那么回事儿。
有点沉闷 看不进去……然后反转的有点突然
很震惊的历史，因为看过介绍，所以只等着找到谜底。但是当时的人，却是鲜活的生命的代价。不自觉的想到“三聚氰胺”，什么时候也有人可以把这样的电影拍出来。警醒世人也好。
除了结尾前十几分钟，前面的部分几乎没有什么力量。但想这样写下短评的时候突然想到这是根据真实事件改编…瞬间一阵心酸。
