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)
没有看过2018的丹麦原版。像《活埋》《一线声机（保持通话）》这类独角戏，必须要有很好的节奏，对主角的演技要求也很高，本片基本都做到了，至少前三分之二做的很好。节奏上前三分之二很紧凑，悬疑感也很强，真相大白之后，悬疑感渐渐消失节奏也慢了下来，观众在知道真相后对妈妈的结局和男主本身的案件兴趣并不大，因为收尾没更加强有力的反转，让近乎完美的结局显得没有力度。杰克·吉伦哈尔的表演有闪光点，主角情绪管理极差的设定在收尾前几乎贯穿全片，让观众也觉得很暴躁，对主角破案的判断力多了一丝质疑。同样Emily的声音表现也一直处于紧张慌乱无逻辑的状态，会让人隐隐的觉得这个女人精神不太正常，导致真相大白时惊喜感降低。Henry虽然台词不多，反而恰到好处。三星半
拯救与自我拯救。有时候，明明我们自己很失败，却总认为自己牛B，自己的不成功是因为身边的猪队友。当你放下对自己以及对别人的苛责之后，你可能才会发现原来别人已经为你做了很多，原来自己才是那个混蛋。就影片而言，由于场景过于单一，故事情节又不足够吸引人，很容易产生审美疲劳，我才一点儿就弃片了。但男主的演技却值得称赞，几乎一人撑起整片的所有镜头。冲着男主的演技及本片对主要内涵，加1颗星
看困了 一开始神神叨叨 中间拖拖拉拉 最后 没有最后了 不过限定空间很考验演技 杰克·吉伦哈尔是很过关的
真人版911 接线员 突然意识到也许游戏里的那个我也这样
节奏感很好，Jack个人表演show，故事一般吧，太多这样的小成本制作了
几乎算是独角戏，所以表演必须要外放一点，杰克真是演技了得。
键盘与圣母的赞歌，一切皆大欢喜，毕竟灯塔国
节奏感很好，Jack个人表演show，故事一般吧，太多这样的小成本制作了
如果结局不那么“真善美”时长缩短至30分钟，我相信会更精彩。独角戏撑下来实属不易。打光灾难。
为什么评分没有7？？？哎
关于自我的救赎，杰克真是睫毛精，太帅了，演技也越来越棒了。
因为手法相似，所以忍不住要和Locke做比较，这部虽然也还可以（非常想吐槽）但是真的不如Locke
我不管，我偏心，我爱Jake Gyllenhaal 一万年，我要是有生之年能见到他并且问好握手拥抱合照，我得开心到爆炸。不过远远地爱着也挺好（无碟netflix
确实是低成本电影 景都不带变的 最大成本很可能就cast了 Jake一个人撑一部电影也挺厉害的
食之无味弃之可惜，或许把很多场面给铺开会好很多，画面真的太单调了。
还行，超低成本封闭空间类独角戏
男主角脑子有病，报警女是个疯子，听的我想打人
看过原版就觉得好像也就那样了（变成全程看Jake肱二头肌）（不是）🙊
7/10 老吉独角戏，全程飙演技。看完查卡司才发现有这么多大牌献声，真是厉害。
落魄之人拯救落魄之人
