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)
设定挺有意思，但是剧情不难猜，结尾反派死于话多。
男主居然是我最喜欢的偶像剧最佳爱情的男二中医师，哈哈，也是没有想到。这剧本要是再放开点写就好了
Sometimes it’s okay for musicals to simplify things; but for a movie, simplification is not necessarily a plus
如果没有看过舞台版，就给满分了。这才是最好的学校教育吧，建议每个学生，都看上几轮。
拍得很棒了，动作戏标准以上！ 很多惊喜设计，这个武术指导很OK
跳脱一次就一个主角，为何要同一张脸？？？？大可以玩的更high，到头来是个爱情片，6分

多视角去把事件还原，感觉挺难的，但是这部做到了。
一般般 里面镜头有被转换身体的人但没后续？？一点疑问都没有？
男主长得像年轻的格林德沃，盘靓条顺花枝招展的，现在很少看到这么古早感的娇俏小gay了，但音乐电影最致命的问题就是，歌不好听👎
最烦这种开头就云里雾里背景也不交代下然后节奏死慢还一脸很牛b哄哄的nc片子，十分钟弃
打斗吗？看起来还行，故事的剧情也算紧凑，只不过反派过于低智商，过于弱智，拉低整体水平，而且这个所谓的，附身，也特别的离奇，没法解释，也解释不清
这还是《人间中毒》里那个林智妍吗，真的没认出来。
没劲 看了好几天才看完 纯为了打发时间 本来看开始的设定好像挺有意思的 再看几眼就知道要说什么事了 除了设定 都很俗套
可以很悬疑很烧脑很反转
有创意，就是坏蛋最后面把大佬，大佬的大佬，合作方大佬轻易就都干掉了，太扯
既然转移这么准时，你老实待着掐着点跳楼不行吗？
一部guy题材但是要求人发现自我也是不错啦

一个事件中，一个正义使者的灵魂拥有超能力可以附身在每一个与事件相关的人身上，对抗强权的核心动作，最终落到爱情上有些不配套，设定明显加节奏过快，在部分剧情逻辑上出现bug，有些地方过渡生硬，视听呈现上是爽片没错
