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)
有点惊喜，动作很不错，希望谢苗能拍出更多的好片，不过剧情框架设定真像港片【导火线】，也是三兄弟，也是杀污点证人，也是通过巧合推进剧情，也是主角是一心抓贼，暴力执法的jc，编剧似乎抓住了港版动作片的要诀，继续拍下去吧，就喜欢看这种爽片
动作类型片满分，剧情？就是你动我老丈人 脑瓜子给你削放屁→_→
片子不错，打斗精彩，谢苗的演技值得期待，很可能成为文戏最好的打星。反派的塑造差点意思，不够判死刑吧。几个富商的罪行有点画蛇添足，没啥必要。群演保持着一贯的低水平。没必要刻意带上东北的帽子，让很多演员说着别别扭扭的东北话。
5.肖老二够彪悍
最后没有枪是因为过不了安检么？不过那年代有安检么？剧情就那样吧，武戏太多了，不是最后看拍的那么辛苦，都只想给两颗星，还有太个人主意了，最后就是就怕坏人有学问
可惜了 剧本太弱 不然苗哥可能就翻红了 希望以后有好武打剧多找找苗哥
谢苗近期片子有点频繁，但是不得不说并不差，中国式的个人英雄主义类型，能打，做到人狠话不多
第一次看谢苗的网大，还不错，长得也挺硬汉，打戏很过瘾！
谢苗绝对是个好的动作演员，但是不知道为啥不火，剧情可以忽略不计，动作戏是亮点，甚至比有的院线电影要好
开局哪里很东北。
这动作戏，绝了。剧情嘛确实说啥没啥，动作戏满分3分，再加一星给我们的童年。
我们中国自己的警察故事，本土气息十足，十分喜欢。
今天看的第三部电影，属实看笑了。纯纯为了打架而打架。不过打得不错。
名义上是找的武打明星谢苗，想拍个警匪功夫片。可是你们拍出来是个啥啊，看的眼睛都要晃瞎了。
还行吧，打斗戏基本全靠摄影师和后期疯狂加速哈哈哈哈
剧情差，几乎经不起推敲，二星，纯是看在老乡面上多加半颗星，浓浓的东北二人转风儿，全靠谢苗一个人在撑着。下次吧，从征服里找几个一看就是坏人的人过来演，就能得分不少。
还可以啊。电影就该好好讲故事。不用刻意生硬技巧。
挺好 简单 完整 不作 有点笑点 动作戏在线 网络电影中的精品。
逻辑上真就很扯，许多事情很难成立，但看起来可真得劲儿啊，拳拳到肉哪管他逻辑呢
歹徒这么明目张胆 也是没谁了 躺着脸说要收过路费
