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)
印度哥俩大神附体，还需要等什么甘地，1870年就能手撕英国鬼子，打到伦敦建立印度斯坦日不落帝国算了
自古水火红蓝出…不出意外的赋予了英雄神性。打不死，你可以永远相信主角。套路爽片但看的很开心。
战神附体的大英雄，二星的剧情，五星的场面～大远镜头摇近时惊叹真的是人海战术！颜值扛得住超清大屏幕，服饰敢放大细节去追肌理质感，真金白银彩宝石的绚烂……看下来，觉得自己完全是来被画面和歌曲赏心悦目的，故事没记住。
全程卧槽看完这部电影。绝了，太绝了。这部电影让我意识到一个问题，手撕鬼子不好看问题不在于手撕鬼子，剧情可以扯，但是要明目张胆的扯，不要往现实靠。重点在于美感（场景、动作和特效）与音乐。
印度电影创作的理念基于“要能挑动每一个即使是最偏远乡下目不识丁农民的情绪”……只要自己不尴尬，尴尬的就是别人
嘎嘎嘎，这也太喜人了，仿佛有当初看宝莱坞机器人那种狂拽酷炫的感觉
印度“战狼”，抗英神剧。
给爷笑死了。不说别的 要不是被傻逼拔了电脑电源 我能连看仨点儿
过气的尼古拉斯.凯奇，演过气的尼古拉斯.凯奇。就像过气的迈克尔.基顿，在《鸟人》中演过气的飞鸟侠，过气的刘青云演《我要成名》，都有一种推开心魔、直面落魄的残忍。这么多年来凯奇在烂片堆里打滚，但说句良心话，哪怕再低的成本、再小的制作、再烂的本子、再不起眼的角色，凯奇也从未敷衍以对，总是拿出他十足卖力的表演，决不会缺斤短两。片子虽烂，他从没烂过，还是那个一声Action，随时鲤鱼打挺、满血复活的凯奇。从这个意义来说，凯奇从未过气过，非常吊诡地，将过气变为一种“传奇”，以一种过气的方式，维持着他的不过气。顺便说，《变脸》《帕丁顿熊2》，也是我的5星心水。
水神火神联手干掉日不落 虽然不是搞笑片但真的好欢乐 各种夸张的动作和神奇的药效让人惊讶 双人合一 水火战神 刀枪不入
7.5 大爽片。浓浓的巴霍巴利王风格，一看导演同一个。哈哈哈
印度战狼抗英神剧，暴打英国鬼子，看的可开心了哈哈哈，比看007装逼有意思。
我穷到要演我自己。被Action!那里笑到哈哈哈哈，trained actor专业素养一级棒！收集了一屋子idol周边的gay里gay气的中年狂热男粉也很可爱！我小时候真挺喜欢空中监狱、变脸和勇闯夺命岛的。三星半吧，给Nick Cage Universe~
合理性先放一边，场面、特效、画面和动作设计等等，肾上腺素拉满，装逼中二无极限，所以是好看的～
一部自反再自反的"character-driven adult drama"（如剧中人所说），过气演员和不知名编导为你mansplain cinema然后一边聊一边让事情发生，一边把电影拍出来。复活节的晚上电影院坐满男女老少，很多哄堂大笑的瞬间，还是不错的喜剧片，重在氛围。
看来手撕鬼子的剧情在某些民族主义想象中是通用的
印度基本所有片子都会有歌舞元素
哈哈哈真不太行，好玩一点的都在trailer里了..
（当然一些动作剧情很夸张）
史上最烧钱的印度片，又爽又浮夸，看得真爽！！！
