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)
故事虽简单，但拍摄极其细腻。就是可怜了琴娘，身中13箭而死的意义没有升华
剧情非常老套 打斗场面不够大 属于小打小闹 让人看的不过瘾。。。
古人云：大丈夫行事，论是非，不论利害；论顺逆，不论成败；论万世，不论一生。
5上学，谢苗错过了港片最后的辉煌，也躲过了中国影视业的大萧条，等到学成出山，容貌变得普通，不讨喜，昔日的影迷和伯乐也风流云散，这时候他又面临选择，是继续在小制作里摸爬滚打，还是消费仅剩的名望经商走穴？网大里面多次打磨。
从<剑雨>以后 到徐浩峰武林三部曲以后 难得看到这么过瘾的动作武侠电影了.
怎么说呢，说他不新，他倒是给你拍了个原创新故事。你说他新吧，怎么有人在2022年文艺复兴拍张彻啊（不）
事了拂衣去，深藏功与名。 杀一个人要偿命，杀一万个就不用了。
强权势力下，替人盗墓的监工一家被灭门蒙冤，大侠就是见不得不公道，不光眼睛见不得，心里也见不得。所以片名是真好，拍的也真的是好，只是剧作太单薄。男主为了一个萍水相逢的人，杀了一堆人，把琴娘的命也搭进去了，并找不到男主扎实的动机，看不到萍水相逢的那个人给了男主多大的力量。男主最后和马说道：你也喝人家酒了。这一句台词忽然把一个行侠仗义的故事扭转成了还人情的故事，基本上推翻了所有前面建立起来的对男主的敬仰之情……。有一些《北斗神拳》的味道，并且感觉可以无限续集地拍下去。
逻辑有时感到莫名，不过在国产片里算尚可了。多加一星
国产剧中也算中资之作，打斗场面虽然爽快，但剧本的缺陷很明显
国外的无脑快节奏爽片Johnwick和慢节奏爽片座头市都各成体系 本片节奏介于两者之间 小屏幕动作片新典范
大制作们看看，还要不要点逼脸啊！
动作设计还是不错的，剧情太过牵强，没想到谢苗还能找到立足之地。
故事是很老套啦，但是武侠味满浓，服化道也用心了
故事很简单，深藏不露却为路见不平拔刀相助，画面处理的很好，加一颗星。
中国人很难不爱的孤胆英雄侠客 John Wick式复仇故事 剧情很简单但是画面和音乐很好 一些镜头还蛮舞台剧 有些台词意外地很结合时事这是可以说的吗
服道化不错。但是最让我感到惊喜的是一众演员很敬业很用心，导演对情节的把控，还有摄影对场面的调度，很多场景真是太棒了，一帧帧画面都可以当做壁纸了，无比完美，还是个网络大电影。
听了林老师的“偏见”之后，越发觉得谢苗和赵今麦长得好像😂😂😂
目中无人，心中有刀，三分因酒酿，七分为公道。
从<剑雨>以后 到徐浩峰武林三部曲以后 难得看到这么过瘾的动作武侠电影了.
