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)
有点失望，并不是为凯奇量身打造的剧本，换个演员改改剧情依然没差。
创意很好，也许有一部分是根据凯奇的真人真事改编，但是看到最后发现其实主角只是叫了一个凯奇的名字而已，换成别人也可以吧
充满着自娱精神和对电影的调侃，凯奇绝对是天才演员
看着凯奇叔卯足了劲的十分努力，却还没佩德罗演得灵活毕现。此时非彼，英雄暮色，难焕风采。在一系列致敬的桥段中又梦回当年的辉煌，hhh曼蒂真的算masterpiece吗？无论如何，nick从未离开，一直陪伴，期待下一部！
一百多年来有如此多优秀的电影，这个问题的答案受限于这个季节，我现在的情绪。
开头很棒，后半部分烂，三星，结尾有突然又很棒了，加一星
这片子太神奇了～ 打趣儿的说 是Paddington 2的推广片 哈哈哈哈
应该算是凯奇近十年最好的电影了吧，相当于凯奇本人参加了一次以自己从影经历为主题的冒险真人秀，其中的自嘲与回顾，挺有味道。
来，为情怀，为那些年的岁月，干了！
Why do you guys go CRAZY for Paddington 2???
凯奇大叔不烂的片子，这年头多珍贵，还不打五星！！！！
片子没有点子本身好笑也是挺让人意外的，可能还有因为期待太高吧，不过这本子拍出来编剧可以吹一辈子吧，人生成就➕1
No.2527 还挺好看的，但是结尾有点突兀，真真假假的有些混淆。
太有意思了！放飞自我的凯奇太适合这种故事了，跟Mando，哦不，Pedro的化学反应也很好，希望两人以后多多合作！扣了一星是因为感觉结局差了一小口气，只看前90分钟绝对的5星
其实这是一部帕丁顿熊2的超长预告片（doge）
爸的电影宇宙，老旧港式喜剧路子。★★☆/5.9
还算挺欢乐。虽总是说廉颇老矣，但也要看看那时候跟凯奇搭戏的都是谁啊？康纳利、特拉沃尔塔、马尔科维奇、甜心瑞恩等等，没他们凯奇也没这么神说真的。这次好在有亲王“抬桩”，囧傻呆萌一起胡闹，不然也好不到哪儿去。1080P 22/06/07
两个名不见经传的编剧导演写了一个故事 真的说服了尼古拉斯凯奇来拍 又邀到一众明星 inspiring程度五星
三流剧本，从头到尾嘴炮，其实挺无聊，要不是凯奇出演，可能会更无聊。
尼古拉斯凯奇和他的狂热粉丝！凯奇看来是债还完了，可以为了电影而拍电影了，完全是自嘲式自传电影。但浓缩的2小时已经让凯奇演技秀过瘾
