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)
谢苗真的太缺好片拍了，可惜啊，这本子就是镖人+龙飞+浪客剑心
低成本动作片里的成功之作，动作设计有接近韩国动作片水平，美术设计也不错。
70分钟故事虽短，五脏俱全，捉刀人成瞎子，不问江湖事，直到遇到被tu全家的妮子，与其来洛阳报案却落杀手宇文家族，其幕后势力之大，无人去惹，重出江湖替她复仇，但所爱之女却被灭（是真的美，一看原来是个新疆妹子，新疆出美女不仅仅有那个热巴），用后半小时尤其最后7分钟以一敌众，将武侠精神宏大成绩，论成色，配乐，动作，画面都精湛且惊艳，值得一看。
開場7分鐘，節奏對話都不錯，我覺得至少4星待定。
《座头市》我没看过，但是这部确实拍得不错，跟最近几年国产垃圾电影相比，确实不错了。
另，喷酒点燃刀刃这招，是来自《浪客剑心》的志志雄的启发?
现如今武侠片的没落有目共睹，伴随着的也是“侠义”精神无人再提。现实里我们相信政府的法度，不再需要侠义逞能；思想上我们更在乎自身、拜金慕强，心中的正义早就换了定义。拍拍复仇的，仙侠晋级的多好，还拍行侠仗义类型是真不讨好，更别说视觉风格如此独特的武侠电影，虽然借鉴嫌疑，亦是难得的勇气。为勇气加一颗星！
完成度還行，前提是如果可以接受島國［座头市］那种盲俠風，那謝苗瞎子以一敵百也无不可；只要劇情設定凝造出緊張气氛，謝苗為弱女出刀，一人干翻壞蛋惡人集團，快意恩仇，事了拂衣去，不留功與名~～不須要多餘劇情，只表達到這种意境，觀眾有代入感，那此片合格有餘了~～
意外的不错，不过总感觉服装和招式一股鬼子味儿
怪不得我喜欢 东北警察也是同一个导演编的！谢苗真的好帅啊
这部电影一眼可见的瑕疵并不少，但我仍然希望未来国内可以多一些这种电影。电影的好坏与否与许多因素息息相关，但国内烂片充斥的一个重要原因是制片方根本没把观众当成一个人来对待，喜欢赚快钱的思想已经荼毒了整个商业生态，很少有人愿意认认真真制作一部商业电影，很多院线电影还真是远远比不上这部网络大电影呢。
整体就非常的日漫，可见真的每一代导演编剧看过的影响他们青少年时期的文艺作品都是非常重要的
试问有多少个武侠剧剧情是屌爆的呢？看的还得是其他方面的，不过这部剧的渲染力还不够强或者说我太满足于我
比较干脆的武侠。一双错骨手、一把听风刀、一招楼兰斩。
事了拂衣去，深藏功与名。首尾呼应，演技在线，画面美，最后一场决斗戏的光影黑白分明，没有多余台词，短而有力，刻画的英雄恶人形象都很鲜明，是久违的爽戏。
很是短小精悍啊！而且不落俗套的没有感情戏，纯侠客，为了公道，加一星。就是海报像黄渤哈哈
1. 几处场面调度处理的很牛逼，比如开场的枪杀，KTV干架；2. 侯孝贤和陈国富保证了好故事；3. 《牯岭街》里的“小马”谭至刚演完本片后两年死于车祸，不到20岁；4. 高捷复仇那段，台上唱《皇后大道东》的是罗大佑和林强，爆吊；5. 伍佰演唱的《少年吔，安啦！》超有feel。
最近几年难得的武侠，多给一星。谢苗有望成为新的武打巨星，毕竟也是牛逼轰轰的洪文定。服装，舞美，摄影，音乐都不错，故事没多新颖但好在完整，特像以前杂志上的短篇。期待更多优秀的武侠片。
制作还行，特别是开场字幕非常酷有质感，鼓励一下，导演继续加油！
瘟神正当道，雨夜好杀人，偷心亦偷命，眼瞎心不瞎。人心险恶，那便目中无人；苍天无眼，那便替天行道。
