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)
唉！《黄飞鸿》里的“虎门销烟”都比其拍的融入点。
电影的整体质感很好，调色和镜头都很有历史感，动作打戏、剧情翻转，是电影比较重要的看点。打戏很流畅，配合色调和镜头，很多片段都不亚于动作大片。电影并没有盲目追求涵盖整个事件，而是以小人物华继良为视角，而从小人物的角度去展现大事件，以小见大。剧情几经翻转，跌宕起伏。清朝的官，人都是感觉特别瘦！
导演: 张哲
打戏够劲够爽快，结局够完美，难得看到这么舒服的电影，就凭这结局，就值得五星鼓励，难得的网大，良心片！
剧本，演技，动作指导简直无可挑剔，谢苗可以的，现在网大直逼院线烂片，只是主旋律用在这个地方有点违和了，林则徐和清政府在当时硝烟事件和结果是有争议的，总的来说，好片子
电影比较紧凑，看得很爽，但高潮部分却不够精彩。
精彩的武术设计，快节奏的镜头运镜，拳拳到肉的打击感。原来网大已经可以是这个水平了，四星给武打
如果在怎么诈骗上多花手笔就好了 这结尾是想要第二部吗 别了吧 不好拍
很标准的剧情演绎，角色设置典型...林则徐听报那一段很精彩，如果再深挖一层更好...
紧凑，抓人，比国产电信诈骗题材的强多了，为什么给这么低分，不靠谱。
诈骗手法高级，警察也给力，被骗的钱能追回来
千万不要接奇怪的电话，如果提及金钱那么就立即挂断电话。
在想，以后七分以下的电影尽量不看吧。
谢苗的动作还是很伶俐的，希望能有更好的剧本出演！
作为一个动作片讲，还是不错的，远远胜过其它网络电影
艺术顾问：刘仪伟，不知道是不是我认识的那个厨子ಠ_ಠ
典型一部导演「想当然」的「伪社会题材电影」。这类电影有一个通性，就是把严重脱离现实的幻想主义硬披上现实主义的外衣。诚然现在电炸事件屡见不鲜，中韩跨境电炸也是韩国国内电炸的主要犯罪集团，基于此我不觉得他是在黑我们。但一个受害者「前警官」，凭一己之力由浅入深顺藤摸瓜与犯罪集团斗智斗勇最终徒手擒凶，这就非常非常扯了。超级英雄？如此庞大的集团犯罪如此低的防范意识，他们是吃干饭的？现实主义题材电影有这样鬼扯与低智商的剧情，不是个伪社会题材是个啥？过去的香港警匪片就一直是玩这个套路。所以它只是纯电影而已，别把它上升高度，因为脱离实际就意味着与社会问题无关了。
电影虽短，但故事拍的很完整，动作戏也不错，谢苗是应该扛起动作片大旗了
做为全球最大的电信诈骗郭嘉，却不敢拍这个题材不悲哀吗
有谢晋导演的《鸦片战争》珠玉在前，后面再怎么拍都觉得差点意思。历史还是那段历史，电影却不是以前的电影了，只能当武打动作片看看了。
