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)
跟香港电影《门徒》一点儿关系都没有。是动作少一点儿的《安娜》。
感觉没看明白 不得不说李美琪 迈克尔基顿和杰克逊这个阵容很吸引人 但故事讲的有一说一确实很烂
迈克尔基顿可是足足70岁，70岁，老白男非要和Maggie Q上床，还要《史密斯夫妇》边打边做，让人感觉已经不是滑稽，而是愤怒。老白男能不能做个长辈？生殖优越？
谢谢陪伴我慢慢航程，我觉得挺好看的，女主加大大的星
老套的情节，没有新意就算了，主角人设还有些懵懂
Maggie Q拍了尼基塔之后好像就一直被框在了这种角色里面，说不上好也说不上坏，但是是能看完就没有什么印象的电影了。
把片尾字幕看完了，片尾音乐怎么这么像《敦刻尔克》的片尾呢，旋律都一样……还有为什么迈克尔基顿是头番李美琪是二番，明明这么一部女主戏，不是一次两次看到了。
不太行，文戏普通，武戏还藏着掖着的，音效单薄，节奏慢，还让老塞缪这么正经，真的只靠麦姬球吊着一口气啊……
大无语，好无聊，为了看maggieQ而看，但是剧情垃圾
男女杀手互打又互上床，局长又假死后半段出现，李美琪不断中枪在腹部，越到后面越看个寂寞。
姐姐好飒！我爱姐姐。kill me or fuck me？嘎嘎嘎嘎😂
塞缪尔杰克逊中途下车只有两种解释，一是假死，二是合同事故，谈不拢，拍了两天素材就让其强行下车，这样就根本谈不上张力，而是担心他与剧组的关系，问题就在这里：你不能在动作片里让大咖早早潦草挂掉。
这个电影很迷，杰克逊没死，非得和反派一起炸死，然而到电影结束，也没明白这反派到底干啥了，不就是假死了吗？女主更搞笑，最后以为她不想活了，结果把相好的打死了……蜜汁操作，智商有限，没明白导演意图。李美琪一点也没老呀，颜值依旧在线，但也掩盖不了电影的迷之走向。
狗屁不通，逻辑混乱，看两个完全不来电也不登对的人谈恋爱真太煎熬了！第一次感觉床戏是如此的多余
6.0/10 分。初看，蓝光。老式的动作片，有点像吕克·贝松1990年的《女囚尼基塔》。。。放到三十年前还算可以，放到今天实在老套了点。适合看片少的新人。。娱乐性还不如旧瓶装新酒的《安娜》。。。另外，刚好顺便一起看了同期的《火药奶昔》，也是女人杀手的，全是现在的女权主义潮流。那个更逗比，逻辑性更差，纯粹可以当喜剧来看，呵呵。
為什麼分數那麼低？智商很高的片子，連台詞都是純金打造⋯⋯應該會有續集，反正都還活著。
是不是没人跟李美琪搭戏了，竟然找个七十几岁的男人来做床戏！剧情松垮，唯一撑起看片欲望的是动作戏！
谢谢模式的电影拍了这么多年你们不腻我都腻了。Maggie Q还是那么美，就不能换个头发多点的魅力男士配她？
被卡司騙進來了，尾段直接看睡過去了，主角同樣是安娜，但絕沒有《安娜》好看！
