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)
算是简单粗暴的爽片，整体不够吸引人，但演员挺有个性
推荐一看。既有商业片的枪战飞车动作元素，也有对人性善恶的解读。节奏把握好。后面出场的杀人魔安东尼特别夸张，有点黑色幽默感。演员很简单，就那么几个，但总体表演都不错。
估计是因为被在家的十几天体验着无wifi的极限片荒，看完感觉意外的觉得还不错。中间激战妖僧的段落印象深刻，融合进舞步的动作配合各式音乐也是一绝，可惜这部电影已经是武指Bradly James Allen的遗作了。
温莎王朝的“光荣孤立”与“大陆均势”政策是维护世界和平的圣骑士暗金套装；这厮竟然是一部正能量的反战电影（喜剧片来得），正义之友英联邦与米迦勒军团长板载......家仆网络当可与暗网系统联袂地球暗黑地下帝国之倚天屠龙。
玩弄历史，肆意意淫。大国政治演绎得如同过家家般儿戏，想要从历史中挖掘出一道清晰脉络追溯源头 虽令人期待，但最终的成果却只惹人发笑。PS：最后只想说，大国政治中，刺杀这种手段真的太愚蠢了
小场景的多方对峙警匪片，开局还不错，可惜20分钟后期待开始逐渐消减了，不到一小时第四方反派出现后迅速变为无趣。多方关系拉得一点都不紧绷，三个主角感觉像在玩一样，靠说一些无关紧要的骚话来侧面衬托专业素质这种做法真的一点都不专业，只有一种试图营造运筹帷幄却沦为明晃晃的主角光环既视感。第四个老头杀手更是脸谱化到极点，我的理解是导演想塑造一个小丑型的戏谑混乱反派，只能恭喜导演倒是塑造了一个真正的小丑吧。整部片的后半段就是看几个角色无限装逼，然而装得又缺乏魅力，即便是从装逼、中二这单方面来看，都不及格。
You’re in the cop business,so that makes you a murderer.But I’m in the murder business,so that just makes a laborer.
以为是个惊悚人性片,结果就是个警匪动作片...
以为是英雄救美，结果是雌雄双煞。其实我对2020年后的美国电影挺无奈，为了那啥正确，总是黑白配，就不能自然一些吗？受够了左派那些shit,what the fuck?
及格分，前期塑造花费太多功夫，搞面对面念白实在是很拖沓也让人很费解，到后期的枪战稍微提升了些，一直到最后的一系列转折才有电影的样子。女主独自撑场，其他人来回整活，角色性格是鲜明了，节奏却是错乱，最后30分钟好看些
一流配乐
局子里的故事，当然也少不了黑人女，政治正确无孔不入
爽片，骗子和杀手的剧情设定不错，动作戏也好看，感觉差一口气，可能张力不够，应该可以拍的更好看。
这种日不落意淫片关起门来自己看看就好了就不必踏出国门了吧… 好好一个动作爽片IP用到这么不堪就不要搭上列宁什么了
三人在地下牢房博弈的那一段很精彩，整体匠气有点重。另外谁打工都是混碗饭吃，太过敬业真的没有必要啊…
坏蛋维迪克和瓦莱莉警官身份对立一黑一白，却惺惺相惜，不知道女主经此大战，会不会三观崩塌
有原则的杀手，比无底线的掮客更值得信赖！所以要学会看人，而且要看准人。
一个弱鸡警察局，一窝都被疯子给端了。自动投狱想被保护的人反而是最不靠谱的，雇佣杀手倒是救了警察。片尾，女警驾救护车去追杀手，是想拘捕还是想入伙？
巴特勒玩完全球，又来玩警察局。越玩越回去了。是前几部票房不好 所以拍小众了么。
全程无尿点，很另类的动作片，尤其每个角色的性格塑造太强烈了
