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)
此外配乐还要加一分，各种配乐让戏剧进展更加充满魔力。很爱小女孩的大眼睛，让整部电影充满了二次元的魔幻感。
导演是视觉特效出身，日本大城市夜景还是比较美的，各种霓虹灯。据说有疾速追杀的导演参与动作，不过猛禽小队其实也有，效果却挺差。动作可以，不过特技缺少。
剧中及片尾曲都挺好听！Boom Boom Lemon
从影片开始不久女主抢的那辆车起，赛博朋克般的霓虹感就让人爱了
女版“怒火攻心”混合了多部电影的设定和元素，却依旧套路老到“让人发指”。
叛逆少女和绝症阿姨。东京贩卖机还卖衣服呢。日本黑道太可怕了。
R级场景有点畏手畏脚，美学风格在视觉上的呈现也不是很成功，文姐被虐得好惨😭😭😭
想尝尝柠檬炸弹
从影片开始不久女主抢的那辆车起，赛博朋克般的霓虹感就让人爱了
几乎快要看不下去了，可惜了李安导演看中的女主。
6/10。和同年的《火药奶昔》几乎是一个模子刻出来的，这类型要想好看就得走疾速追杀打打打，但这部动作戏一般。小女孩好像关晓彤啊～
全片以一个几乎命定的悲剧为主基调，基本没有转折地一路下行，最终以至绝望，这片子大概不想做纯粹的爽片，只是全程debuff的主角，越打越弱的动作戏，实在不是讨喜的选择。
This movie was bonkers. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is a bad-ass and this feels like it came straight out of a manga. I was invested the entire time and I found it quite entertaining.
演员卡司不行啊 达咩 抄安吉丽娜朱莉的特工绍特都没抄到精髓 抄查尔斯萨隆的极寒之地也是只有皮毛和元素的重复 完全就一烂片
只有5秒干净的动作戏，还都在配角身上。
色调像攻壳机动队黑霓虹，人物造型后半程像考拉，打法像杀死比尔，只有最后一幕🌸出现像暴力美学，色彩太单调，故事也数见不鲜了，但是只要杀小日子过得不错的人就看着很过瘾。
勉强三星吧，日/韩黑老大总要死在欧美女杀手手里，也算是米国爽片的猎奇套路之一，而女杀手是必然要像尼基塔的，杀手想隐退是必然要被自家背后捅刀的，杀手还必然要和暗杀目标的亲人搞出点纠葛的……套路套套路，开片3分钟就料到了结局。全片精华在国村隼那两刀上。然而即使是这么乏善可陈的剧情主线，其实也可以拍得更动人一些的，而我的话大概会干脆疯了算，大脑移植直接让女主不死，从白烂杂烩扎进胡扯的SF，不就是要爽片么，干脆无视合理性地爽个够！
十死无生绝地复仇设定挺帅，但是女主的动作戏表现实在是差了点意思。本季骑士常客田边和也演了个被女主练手的小头头，换了个发型精神多了。
同样是老美团队，看看人家融合了多少日本元素，咱们砸那么多钱给老美拍出来的有一点中国味道吗？不是说两句国语就行了
影片把女杀手设定为较弱（被下毒）是很少见的，黑寡妇等都是女主角像切西瓜一样把对手灭掉。
