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)
7.5/10，整个局布的挺符合逻辑的，我不理解的是弗朗西斯为什么赶回来啊？？？这不是偏执狂可以解释的吧？他为什么一点都不担心剪裁师透漏信息啊？在弗朗西斯离开的时候两个人根本没有什么信任度吧？而“将要把真相说出口的时候弗朗西斯回来了”这个点戏剧感太强了，一下子把之前严谨的逻辑线给打乱了。
爽到我了！小成本封闭空间戏，几次反转都极其合理，情节走向贴近期待视野，但马克·里朗斯的影帝级表演着实超出预期。相比于黑帮电影更偏向悬疑，在紧张感爆棚的同时还不失英国人式优雅矜持的气质，精彩。
神·马东锡的拳，不是泰拳的拳拳到肉的紧张和刺激，而是一巴掌呼死人渣的舒畅和爽快。
单一场景，小巧精致，很有味道！老派但经典的悬疑技巧，演员太有气质了。
非常精彩，剧情几度反转，全部都是在一个房间里完成
精彩啊，这反转，也就电影敢这么拍，高潮迭起。老逼登会的多，这局做的，高手！
这片不能细想，不然肯定会发现BUG，比如那卷磁带_______（防剧透）。但在小空间里做成这样，真的很难得了。
感觉每个角色塑造得都不立体 话剧感太重了 不过节奏挺舒服滴
好适合舞台化的剧本啊 节奏转折都卡的很好 全程都能吸引人 全员演技在线 近段时间难得有这么舒适爽快的观影体验了
小而精致，出其不意，算得上是小成本佳作，但看完以后其实留不下什么深刻印象。
好一个魅力老gentleman！！小小西服店！轻轻松松几次化险为夷，演员演的真好，一下就被他吸引住了，每个皱纹都有故事！最后过去的故事有点多余，让我们去猜猜不好吗？一个老裁缝居然这么运筹帷幄，哦，不对，是剪裁师！
这是个Cinema.
还可以，有老式悬疑的味道。但有两个问题，1过于刻意.2主角动机很模糊。
电影像裁剪好的西装一样严丝合缝，看完更加决定今年一定要买两套优雅的套装。
电影剧情如此不令人信服，但大家都给了很高的分，我确实不理解。
导演处女作就如此惊艳，真是太牛了。有四两拨千斤之感。仅用一间裁缝店，寥寥数人，大段文戏就讲清楚了两个黑帮门派之间的明争暗斗。温文尔雅，寡言少语的裁剪师居然位于食物链的最顶端，对黑帮的人不留余地，对待女接待员却有着老父亲一般的温柔，对她此前的小动作视而不见，关键时刻不惜堵上身家性命为她圆梦，you know～从片名到主场景再到男主职业，有机统一，很巧妙
可能期待太高，觉得也不过如此。一个想做好人的黑帮大boss的故事，反转和悬念都比较平平无奇。但摄影风格实在是很喜欢，特别是那泛黄的色调，爱了爱了。
不是王牌特工那种绅士格斗，也不是极速追杀那样的西装杀手，贯穿始终的英式优雅，和融入西装制作的讲究。小小的裁缝店，巨大的长大，不断反转，引人入胜。
整体不如第一部但笑点很多中和了血腥的部分更适合影院。马东锡的人设开始逐渐巨石强森化。《解放日记》里的孙锡久太内敛，这里挥舞大砍刀才终于对路了。如果剧情能够顺着财阀或者财阀夫人展开，也会是非常精彩的剧作。
仿佛又看了一遍第一部，可惜的是没第一部反派狠和强，巴掌侠依旧无双模式，希望第三部能来个吨位差不多的反派，不然感觉都是在捏小鸡崽子。
