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)
世上只有一种英雄主义，就是在认清生活真相之后，依然热爱生活。凯奇或许不是什么英雄，但看完这部片子想起童年时候在电视上追他电影的时光不禁感叹，他其实是很多影迷心中无可替代的传奇。
各种意义上的魔性。很少给电影打分，也值得留评
印度的抗英神剧，在应该发动群众、武装斗争的时候，两男主结成了统一战线，罗摩转世用弓箭解决了主要矛盾，而之前卧底期间下手太重，必将在日后的文蛤中受到清算。顺便问问，给战狼2打一星的为啥给这片4-5星，打脸英帝吗，#这不MBGA#。。。跳舞是真舞，动武是假武，是谓印度片。。。
白富美做英奸把全家全营杀了跟野男人走了，这就是被殖民的终极幻想，完美情人。 特效还是不错的，这值得肯定。
在仅能容一个人的地牢里，兄弟腿都断了还在做引体向上健身，我真的是佩服地乐了。是我喜欢的印度风格。
被殖民国家总是有点神剧异禀的应激反应，子弹呼呼冒着火星子都能打出原子弹的威力，哦，别忘了跳舞…
阿三拍这种大场面神剧真是手到擒来
我一直在思考 要是国产神剧 手撕鬼子
精彩都在花絮系列。PS. 两个可爱的CIA最后都死了吗？PPS. 真的需要补看帕丁顿熊2吗？
印度版战狼、印度版抗日神剧、印度版“冰与火之哥”、印度版绿巨人与鹰眼。
八分不解释，不看跟你急:）
特效夸张，神力无边，不过这种荷尔蒙的电影看起来确实代感呀，看看人家的爱国电影，作为一个外国人都觉得热血沸腾，难怪票房高了。
首先，请收下我的膝盖，无力反驳！突破我的认知！你看把浮夸剧做到极致也特别精彩
1.我们的神剧被印度超越了，就像我们的男足被印度战胜了一样。
好玩的依旧是那些戏谑、自嘲、搞怪的部分，包括人格对话、戏精上身、现实与戏剧的转场/互文/二重结构等，相当于把巅峰时期的经典影片来了次迷影大回溯，喜剧效果拉满。《变脸》、《卡里加里博士的小屋》、《帕丁顿熊2》能共列私人片单top3，正如同拍烂戏但绝不烂角色的凯奇在观众心中从未过气。怀缅过往，正视当下，带着对电影崇高的敬意继续前行，一句action更胜万语千言。
在我看来这就是一部印度阿三自嗨片，一惊一乍的故事情节，过分美化的镜头感，还有莫名其妙的感情戏，印度女主很漂亮，主演了一部很热门的电影甘谷拜，英国女主圣母情节莫名其妙，一个贵族小姐会爱上一个印度人，毫无缘由的情感，然后打打闹闹，跳跳舞这场革命就结束了，都是两个男主好基友的功劳，其他人都是打酱油的....这位印度导演的脑洞真是无与伦比，这就让我更喜欢阿米尔汗了，完全不是一个段位，结束，看了好几天的电影.....
后1.5小时，双男主变身超人，一弓一拳，一个飞车一箭射爆油箱刚好冲进英军弹药库一顿爆炸德里英军全军覆灭，离谱不离谱。一星。
bheem，ram，sita
这强大的身体复原能力，这指哪打哪的超级功夫，还有唱歌跳舞的文艺才能，加上家国情怀，这就是印度武侠吧！神虎侠侣，地母八部……
