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)
“你说，总有一天我得为自己而战。”
有成长，有励志，有灵异，但是凶手的动机是啥呢，为啥怕露脸，还有一个小孩的梦就能出警了？有点离谱了吧，莫非是因为信仰？伊桑霍克露脸就见光死，话说这配角当的的确很是称职啊，哈哈
就冲超可爱讨喜的小萝莉给高分一点不为过阿喂！！！
救命 这部片的画风太对我胃口了 兄妹隔空互救 孩子们勇敢的力量对抗邪恶 最后的反杀有点子爽！
最后的Robin还有Finn's arm is mint差点哭出来。A man never leaves a friend behind.2022/7/18大森家
一般，略显乏味，虽然两个孩子和伊桑·霍克的表演都很不错，甚至于伊桑·霍克给人的感觉就与角色非常贴切。可能是因为文化的原因，不少隐喻我没有理解，所以有这种单薄的观影感受。但是，前有小丑主题的恐怖片，我相信这类电影还是有直击人心深处的恐怖元素，但是在这部电影中，没有什么感觉。
有点东西，比预想的好看 。烂片看多了全靠这种隔三差五找到的创意精致的小格局电影来调剂。同类型之前有一个《八四年夏天》也还不错，都可以吊打小丑回魂几条街。就是伊桑霍克这两年老接这种神神叨叨的角色，这还怎么拍爱在4…
整体还可以
疑问:杀人犯为啥要杀人呀？
6.5分
兄妹俩的羁绊，男孩子们的勇气和智慧，不能够是R级片。是友谊和亲情的黑色宣传片。
1.这是“借鉴”了多少部电影?????
2.5星。地下室的电话成为男孩通灵的媒介，他借此得到所有被害者的帮助，从而打败坏人。这是整部电影最大的噱头，但是这个噱头太平庸，无法让人提起兴趣，如果把这种手段小范围展示一下倒是还行，可偏要将之作为全片的重点来讲，不免太过简单了。
hell no 伊桑霍克演了个毫无魅力的反派
【和K观影】恐怖是真恐怖，感动是真感动，虽然除了主角之外的其他角色线挖掘得不够深，但是瑕不掩瑜。小演员们演技真好，台词也不突兀，robin说为我跑出去那段感动死。（这不比小丑回魂香？！
真不错，很巧妙，看完准备看《德州电锯杀人狂》
非常喜欢！送主角一首小学生精神领袖孤勇者，‘爱你孤身走暗巷，爱你不跪的模样’，哈哈非常适合他～最后的反杀帅呆了，尤其最后响起的电话，‘this is for you’，看的我都激动了～跟自己好朋友逐渐同步的挥拳动作也非常感人。不能说是恐怖片，可以说是一部非常精彩的悬疑作品吧，即使主演是小朋友也绝对不输成人～稍微有点遗憾的是对于绑架犯的动机没有过多描述，不过其实完全不影响观看和电影的主旨。
前半部分还是惊悚悬疑罪案
恐怖片外壳包裹下的少年成长故事，反杀情节很燃
