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)

克里斯大大的颜值真的能打*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)'･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･* 本作相比隔壁宝刀未老明显预算不足、故事套路、服道化以及动作设计只有普通美剧水平╮(￣▽￣"")╭ 但是可是然鹅。。。。。克里斯粉丝还是可以拿来打卡哒*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)'･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*
真是应了“螳螂捕蝉黄雀在后”这句经典的话，不到最后一刻不知道谁输谁赢，而且往往是付出最多的反而收获最少。看这片唯一让人感到窒息的就是让我这个爱喝水，一天不喝够 2 升水的人，看的浑身不舒服，口干舌燥的。
僱佣兵男主自己坐普通航班都能回国，那你僱主派人接应不更容易帮他回来吗？安全接回来就皆丈欢喜，结果派两队人去灭口，代价巨大，最后把自己灭了。最会算帐的私人安保公司，这打的什么算盘…
无知的人被咬死，贪婪无情的人被射死，好心的人被打死 都是金子惹的祸
基本是荒野求生的独角戏。
铺垫太长，看完还是云里雾里。全员大情种，为了自己的家庭破坏别人的家庭——这不会就叫男人的担当吧？xs
千万不要活成人为财死鸟为食亡，人生区区几十年，懂得取舍才是福。这部电影虽然夸张，但却覆盖了人性，引以为戒啊！
每一步都猜到了，People Ain't No Good.加一
故事、表演、影片节奏都不错，对人心贪婪和黑暗的描写，让我看过印象深刻
面对金山，信任、贪婪、生存才是核心考验。古今往来，贪婪都是人类的的绝命毒药。
该去的地方没去成，不该得的没得到还搭进去了一条命。人要知道满足
疫情下催生的低成本小制作，主题还是贪婪的人性外加恶有恶报的结局，ps男主真“单纯”用脚后跟想也知道那人会耗死他再回来8
历史上很多悲剧都是来自于淘金热。比如《泰坦尼克号》？
啥子都不行，完全一团糟，可能这就是普通人的人生吧
如果男主不执意看守黄金
莫名其妙发现金子，莫名其妙杀了人，莫名其妙被被人杀了，一切都那么莫名其妙
人都这样了，杀个人还费劲又是埋又是烧？吃饱撑的？
大过年的坐个啊高铁看了一路这个片子，也是服了…
动作还算及格，音效到位配乐气氛不错，一定要音响。
