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)
三星给亲王的故事，多一星给葛大爷和阿如那
每个场景都拍得不咸不淡，情绪还没到位就转场了！几次反转也无法让人意外或者触动，实在是浪费了一个好故事和强大的卡司～ 3
给题材和卡司三星，编剧和导演的节奏没把控好，想表达的东西没立住，其中容易让人走神，可以当个软悬疑推理剧来看
国内能上影的话会取什么名？我建议用“6+1=？”希望也能如此直面同样的问题！
做被害者容易面对自己的良心可以大声谴责别人，但如果你的儿子是加害者呢？"你们比孩子更可恶"
最后对视说i do 那里差点没绷住
让我想到一部双城计中计
但是每个人的内心总还是纠结的
喝酒如喝水那位护奶狂魔神似李铁！美术和服化道打底，让电影有了质感，但特么全片bug，推理都是硬给，根本经不起细想，尤其结尾，夹心佛头卖给日本就不是汉奸了？男主爷爷凭什么就笃定日本人会把佛头还给中国？前紧后松，彻底泄掉，没任何值得回味的，看得让人气不打一处来。雷佳音演啥都一个逼样，李现人如其名，演技烂爆还出来丢人现眼，郭子健绝对是华语类型片里扶不起的阿斗，节奏把控差到不行，还不如去看夏雨的剧版。
年终适合带家里人一起嗨嗨皮皮进电影院的片子。。。

国产商业电影的短板永远是细节，产业不成熟造成的缺陷不是有钱就能解决的。一味追求快节奏，很多基本的信息都没有交代清楚。为了炫耀特效，用了很多没必要的画面，对叙事并没有帮助。更不要说选角一味追求流量，王庆祥一个蹙眉就把李现秒成渣。
影片很想从剧情多次反转、对校园暴力的抨击、讽刺玩弄权力的人等几个角度多重展现，但力度都不够，还不如老老实实选其中一个角度并加强，就不会除了演技毫无回响
多一星鼓励分，书粉并不满意，但的确将原著体量的故事压缩在一部两小时电影中已经非常不容易。改编很聪明地抓住了寻找真佛头这一重点线索，五脉和老朝奉等更加错综复杂的前尘故事被作为引子和一点叙事提及，错落有致详略得当。付贵的角色被提到了更重要的位置，成为许家三代的目击者和参与者，甚至和许愿缔结了某种父子关系。葛优老师也一如既往地把喜剧和严肃交织的多层次角色演绎得很不错。主角的出场设计很快捷，角色性格建立和传达效率很高。整体观感是很紧凑的。特效做的蛮好，很给整部影片提气。
虽然背景交待不够，纯当爆米花片看，节奏还是比较紧凑，探险部分显得赶，葛大爷承包了所有笑点。
悦也没有正面回答
最后的反转我给到了四星，我说里面这些人物怎么那么年轻呢，原来是几年前就拍好了，千禹熙在里面感觉就是个打酱油的呀（当然了颜很可），四个人的名字写在上面一点都不冤，最后建宇说的那句，跟他们比起来你更坏。那3人是校园霸凌者没错，要受到应有的惩罚，但瀚洁从一方面来看是受害者，但另一方面来看是加害者，也是杀人者。
典型的国产类型大片，非原著爱好者也觉得无惊无喜，不过“古董动作片”这个玩法还是有趣的
没看过小说，电影看的时候前面感觉还不错，很引人，但是我看到结尾感觉我没搞懂啊？让日本人以为是真的，让老朝奉以为是假的，可本质上还不是把真的送给日本人了嘛？
中国的夺宝奇兵和古墓丽影，还有点达芬奇密码的意思，商业上挺合格的，看着也爽，别深究，爽就完了，陪着媳妇看李现看的点映，这大哥一个表情演一个电影是真牛*
