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)
开始还不错，最后烂尾了。女主太让人调戏了，拍多了那种片，演动作片也总让人想起那种场面。男主还是犯罪都市让人恨。
和舞台版一比真的有对比有伤害，支零破碎完全燃不起来，换歌真的搞不懂，倒也不必强加那么多意义进去，大概亮点就只有Richard E. Grant了，然而再看回你朝最近娱乐行业的各项阴间训条，又不舍得给它打低分，Jamie永远是我最爱的音乐剧之一
挺好看的。题材设定有些意思。虽说看起来豆瓣评分并不高，我觉得已经很满意了，觉得遗憾的可能就是看剧情总归有些不尽如人意的地方: 男主身手还可以，但是不晓得为何在开始被害的第一时间里面仿佛有些弱，那时候真身的时候反而没有弄死几个。总之，有科幻元素，有对爱人的感情表达，觉得可以了。
不断魂穿在一个贩毒加警察内鬼的案件中各个人的男主，无论在怎样都在拯救女主，动作爽片，最后一场戏有点john wick孤胆英雄的味道。
日，今年动作片第一！基本没硬伤！这不就是《心里美》恐怖惊悚血腥动作版本！爱死了！
A附身B，附身C，附身D，附身E，都是只为保护一个女人。
Hugo放录影带那段歌真不大好听，但我全程热泪盈眶。
比起隔壁deh，etaj的歌舞部分就处理得好些了，看得出导演有想好好利用电影语言但心有余而力不足，没有吊起气氛且转场生硬。音乐剧原卡john mccrea真的是难以超越，男主虽然唱跳身段还不错但依旧差一大截且演技尴尬，唯一的惊喜就是legend of loco Chanel这段处理后的样子，john回归出演年轻时的loco，过于美艳动人很是抢眼，这一小段胜过全片。
——他们都是同一个人。
歌还是好听的，就是剧情的各种转折比较刻意尴尬，浅尝辄止。
灵魂想穿越就穿越，想得美。难道你不知道，肉体是灵魂的枷锁吗？

看的还行，就是灵魂到处附体的感觉，就是每次灵魂转换都是一个人，感觉有点乱，情节还行
每12小时更换一次灵魂就是为了从毒贩以及腐警手中救出女猪脚，片头挺不错的，但女猪脚的设定感觉神烦扣一星，加上格局小气了再扣一星。
没能看完。演员缺少魅力，困境真实但困境中人的正面与反面情绪却很模式化。
妈妈演得我嚎啕大哭，爸爸演得我咬牙切齿。有机会一定介绍爸妈看这部片子，好奇他们的反应。
想象力还是很丰富的，让男主的灵魂脱离身体，每隔12个小时就进入另一个人的身体，而这些人正是知法犯法侵害他和女友的同事。影片借灵异的情节表达了要维护正义正确价值观，细思极恐的是隐喻了现实社会的黑暗，毕竟片中的灵异事件在现实里不会发生，所以如果事情真的发生在现实社会里，那么男主和女友以及前面调查到事件真相的同事，大概率就是遇害了，而他那些知法犯法贩毒的同事则还在逍遥法外。所以无力之余，只能寄希望于灵异事件来反转。影片多数镜头仍让男主饰演被他“上身”的人物，仅仅靠一个特写镜头做交代，所以看着感觉很混乱，如果直接让所有被“上身”的演员来演男主，效果会更好。

仿佛彩虹少了一道的遗憾，音乐的氛围也难以掩盖剧情的单薄与不足。做自己的故事，还可以更姹紫嫣红一些。
