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)
剧情设计一般，动作枪战还行，人物塑造尚可，警察小妹正能担当。其实这些都不亮眼，最令人惊艳的是整个警察局的内部场景设计及装饰风格，牛逼！
好多人死在这个警局啊。女警最后开车想干嘛？
这电影如果能高分，豆瓣是啥水平不用说了吧😅
「Do you remember why King Arthur and his knights had a round table? Because it meant that all men were equal. It's important that people born into privilege lead by example.」「I do not accept your resignation. But... I will accept a very strong cup of tea.」
太难看了，还这么长，整个电影的节奏太奇怪，情节转折都非常生硬，开头结尾和中间完全是两部片。动作戏也毫无亮点，曾经的烟花爆头爽片感哪里去了？当然Matthew Goode出场的第一个镜头我就知道了……
对历史意淫玩笑出令一维真相早已不够新鲜，但本片与艾伦·摩尔或昆汀·塔伦蒂诺相去甚远，实际是非常段子式的幽默，并非说这种恶搞没有意义，而是作为一部强调英伦贵族基调的电影，它的娱乐风味却是非常美国通俗文化的，这跟原作漫画脱不了关系，但在此基础上继续深挖所谓的历史厚度的故事似乎是有些可笑而不自量了，于是电影只能在简单串联起几个一战前后的常识人物和事件后，仍然继续从“王牌特工”的英伦男色、特工动作和恶搞喜剧三个角度入手，拉尔夫·费因斯融合了自己主演的《英国病人》与根据英国老牌经典间谍剧集改编的电影版《复仇者》于一体，同拉斯普金那场近乎过火的戏份足够让观众尖叫，两场关键的动作戏中拉斯普金之死一场要远好于末尾致敬007《最高机密》的攀岩戏，马修·沃恩应知足自己还能继续如此任性肆意，但也该结束这个系列了。
很娱乐的片子，虽然不想太纠结情节逻辑，但是结尾女主开急救车🚑那一幕我感觉有点多余。
推荐一看。既有商业片的枪战飞车动作元素，也有对人性善恶的解读。节奏把握好。后面出场的杀人魔安东尼特别夸张，有点黑色幽默感。演员很简单，就那么几个，但总体表演都不错。
前作的卖点全都没延续下来，这个所谓的起源故事根本就没有存在的必要。

所以這個片子就是，無用警察 vs 好奇心超重的女警 vs 話癆長髮奸商 vs 哲學有義氣殺手？？ Ps. 好愛神經病喵喵羊殺手哈哈！
“Never more than a day ahead of the devil, Or maybe I'm your devil now, And this is our day, You can't run from this, Hell's already here.”
女警无论智谋还是武力，都强大到不可思议。杰拉德巴特勒沦为配角。
两个肌肉型男和一个肌肉型女大闹警察局的故事，看身材给满分💯
看场面看卡司，应该属于投钱不算少的，居然能拍成这么一个四不像，不着四六的智障范儿，也是挺不容易的。//本来是两星的，直到那个满地打滚，一心要去前线找死的公子哥儿终于求仁得仁，这就是全片最让我爽的一幕了，赶紧在这打止后面不看了，保持这一秒爽。
如果没有熊孩子剧情线，纯恶搞或许能好看点。彩蛋算是德国影人聚会吗？八月也不像列宁吧，casting过于神奇了。还有如果说DB演的是泽莫我也信。
Fuck the gentlemen shit.系列里所有曾经优雅的特质都尽数消亡了，甚至“Manners makath man”都是从反派口中说出的。四年的时间，马修沃恩只做出了一个以戏谑历史来迎合西方观众恶趣味审美的产物。
有些情节设置的莫名其妙，不过作为一个爽片是可以的，结局的漂移甩尾真是好酷。
有原则的杀手，比无底线的掮客更值得信赖！所以要学会看人，而且要看准人。
女主真是又丑又菜又装 这种小成本电影节奏拖得这么长 何必呢
