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)
看起来还是不错的，虽然有点过于巧合但是整体有喜剧氛围显得还是可以接受的，不过喜剧的点穿插的稍有些生硬。整体完成度不错，节奏也挺好，还是挺值得一看的。
虽然全程看完没有快进，但是还是欠缺一剂强心针，作为观众，我看完，觉得平淡如水，啥都不是！
作为处女作还算及格，另外为什么很多人都说这电影是低配版「疯狂的石头」，就因为都是非线性叙事吗？除此之外，俩电影在拍摄逻辑上压根八竿子打不着……
看得出来有用心和努力，但终归了欠了一点火候，最大的问题是让观众全程几乎没有代入感，太生硬和干瘪了
knock knock
个人非常无感这种反转再反转的剧情。除了反转本身，就很没意思。没意思程度相当于赵本山的脑筋急转弯和王建国的谐音梗。
其实还不错，说不上哪里好，也没有特别差的地方，悬疑反转节奏都可以，但是缺乏沉浸感或者代入感，观众也没有任何线索，可以说是本格推理一样的风格，但同样也没法把情感带入任何一个人，观众始终都是游离在电影之外的局外人，就像是坐着看别人玩了一场剧本杀。
有人关在307，有人关在厕所里。
不停的反转，最终也没有反转出一朵花出来！故弄玄虚过分了就成了装逼，就成了画虎不成反类犬！
反转要出乎预料才好看，电影该比观众快一步，「不速来客」显然没做到。
同一空间不同人物的多线叙事，玩的挺溜，前面各种反转猜凶手表现的也还行，就是人物太少了，凶手并不难猜，最后半段的剧情就乏善可陈了，还慢镜头，昏昏欲睡
3.5。蛮喜欢这种多次反转的小空间电影的，观感很舒服。就是最后差点意思，通往必须正义的结尾。
本子是个好本子，镜头细节很多，前后铺垫完整，瑕不掩瑜。但是导演营造悬疑气氛的能力略显不足，导致每次反转有惊喜但不精彩，节奏有些拖沓。
剧本耐不住推敲，手法又显得露怯，文本精细度和调度精巧度都不够，以至于不停的闪回反转随着手法的重复愈加疲软无力，这种片子放在十五年前很酷很潮，现在真的很土很low。范伟的口音梦回偏春晚小品，窦骁跟范伟搭的时候有种刘老根大舞台上临时组合演德云社的即视感，张颂文无功无过不值一提。看完只觉得，明明一个人满为患的老式小区为什么被编导设置得这么真空，几个天井俯视都没有人烟，跟老张交易时候领这么多孩子进小区不怕监控和邻居，一群人在屋里打闹摔东西没人报警便罢，都特么冰箱爆炸了还没有邻居第一时间报警，真是高估这种老式小区的隔音并低估邻居八婆的没事儿找事儿能力了。
用心了却经不起推敲 剧本和导演都逃不了干系
还不错诶！筒子楼，霓虹灯，身份特征明显的几个人聚集在同一间屋子。封闭空间小成本黑色幽默犯罪悬疑电影，多线叙事加精彩的多个反转，剧作逻辑清晰，每个人的行动线也在叙事中逐渐明朗。但觉得最后结尾可以处理的更好，好像哪个方面都差了一口气。总体还是好看且精彩的！
一点也不幽默。悬疑剧需要的是整体节奏的严肃和严谨，这拍着拍着就往网大那种闹剧靠拢是个什么意思？编剧的掌控能力太差了，或者说写这种闹剧剧本太多习惯性思维了吧。
❷出现一堆小孩的时候，有点震惊了，万万没想到。
范大叔太厉害了！窦骁也表现不错！剧情有部分bug，但瑕不掩瑜，依然很精彩！
其实挺好看的啊！不过····编剧没解释为什么女同伙要他走，而他入室杀人怎么潜逃的····
