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)

五班，到！！！只要能活下去，啥都不重要！！！
不错，虽然只是一场很小的战场，但总归是用视觉再现了故事，故事简单但很抓人，确实是短小精悍了
最近看的战争片最好的一部了。唯一的败笔就是最后开挂。迫击炮没搞死他，重机枪没搞死他，狙击手没搞死他。一个连没搞死他，这一个连就跑了。。。
每个人物都让人记不住，每个转折点都很生硬，每颗子弹的特效都很尴尬，能把真人真事拍这样这是老谋子水平吗？比悬崖之上还差一点
主角的成长。没有浪费的场景，作为一整部长片似乎小了一点，半个小时的精彩内容会不会更好看
通过多年张艺谋电影观察可知老谋子还是适合拍剧情简单的戏
这部真的很好。冷静、克制、精致，又像千斤重的一个橄榄。
一场戏撑起一部电影666 节奏紧凑 演员在线 以小见大 有点煽情/（成本在爆破和后期？
以小见大的故事，深深感受到当年战争的惨烈，有这样一部电影在贺岁档挺棒的，老谋子的出品很稳，章宇的表演很棒。
没想到我看一个动作片能哭两回。还有就是，珍！惜！和！平！
网飞这个传记片拍法，还停留在《社交网络》出现前的10年代。
硬汉内心柔软的过往。结尾太感人了。唯一的缺点是柳乐优弥太帅了。
尊重战士。电影节奏太慢，部分情结冗长，刻意煽情。
比长津湖强，我直说了。
从始至终没发现有哪个方面是好的，还有那个子弹特效真是画蛇添足
其实看到最后还是挺感动的。虽然故事非常传统，甚至老套，但是大泉洋和铃木保奈美演得都好，就真的像是师父和师娘一样亲切。看到最后又差点破防了。不要讨好观众，不要扮丑。我记住了。
可能因为俩导演，敌方不再是纸片工具人，两支队伍的对比挺有意思的
以及，春节档片尾曲点睛之笔的，一个是雄狮少年，一个是这个「值得再➕一星」
前半部分还不错，不管是舞台上下屏幕内外这种逗笑观众的互感，还是比较集中叙事的设计，都还有吸引到人，但从中间部分开始就走偏了，突然发现是讲师徒深情，突然的一些剪辑转场带来的叙事割裂，还有强行煽情的设计，都让故事走向了普通。
