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)
我觉得还不错诶！我蛮喜欢的！（虽然剧情有点俗，但是看看帅哥美女还是养眼的嘻嘻
曾经沧海难为水，斯坦森是对的。毕竟是盖里奇电影里出来的人物。
伍迪·哈里森还是没头发的造型帅多了!山下智久一共出来有2秒吗？太二了哈哈哈……
傲娇杀手和唠叨推销员的温暖兄弟情（脑子里都是：完蛋了他坠入爱河了）
凯文哈特还是很好笑，情节太随便了，山下智久太酱油了。。。
2.5吧挺适合不动脑看的…哈里森好像Gru…
剧本写得那么烂和俗套，对得起男女主的演技和化学反应吗？！在此作法祈求老天让全钟瑞接一部好剧本吧！
网飞流水线作品，看个热闹可以，考虑剧情就算了。
我想看孙锡久这么有性张力的一男的演点juicy的剧，但这片儿拍的是个啥啊，dating app这么个好讲的topic也没拍明白啊…
没想到会是一个搞笑爆笑的电影，当初看到这个小个子黑人其实就应该能猜到的，从开始误打误撞的认为是这个多伦多男人（满嘴火车一事无成，竟然大家通过照片就信任了），到帮助fbi到帮助真正的多伦多男人，假扮是多伦多男人，然后真正的多伦多男人拿到钱，还干掉了想炸毁大使馆的幕后，以及背叛真正多伦多男人的女上司，一路上二人互相认识自我，不打不相识。
泰迪抱着一堆东西。刀掉地上那段我笑了一下。
伍迪·哈里森演技还是靠谱；山下智久打了超级大酱油？！
两个屌丝嘴炮男士很期待
6.2/10，《乌龙特工》在前，把多伦多的男人换成巨石强森大概更有反差感。
泰迪真是成事不足败事有余，整部电影基本就没干成一件好事
常规套路的角色配置，整体亮点并不多，是一部适合打发时间的电影。两星半。
吐的那段笑出来了，加一分
Man from everywhere赚赏金，东京那个衰仔刚耍完帅就被撞飞了哈哈哈。这个系列可以继续做下去的，杀手网络已经初具雏形，后面二人组被来自世界各地的人追杀，还有的玩儿呢！
动作戏不错，还有点搞笑，很爆米花，还是有点太长了，压缩到一个半小时正好。
还挺好笑的，健身房那场打戏好看，山下智久出场的时间加起来1分钟都不到吧。
