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)
很下饭的trash talk修炼教学片。他黄桥但凡付出电影里1%的努力也不至于现在这个样子…狼迷震怒
2.关于篮球比赛，竟然把比赛拆分成1v1单挑，垃圾话互怼，进了就是进了，没进就是没进。没任何理由，深度不足。
终于明白为什么一直觉得Brad Pitt与《点球成金》这部电影莫名的不搭，果然还是Adam Sandler更适合这类角色。
冲突平淡，剧情老套，到40多分钟才开始看得进去，多一星给配乐。后面几场球赛拍得可以，亚当桑德勒眼里有光，不是为了他说实话不会看
这是今年看的比较顺眼的电影了。
其实是个很平平无奇如《一球成名》般的故事，但是谁曾想我竟然能看得热泪盈眶。love this game，以及Adam的表演真好啊...
74/100 Still being thrilled about the old cliche “Never back down”. 底层球星的崛起，如同平行时空的Hip-Hop，搭配聚焦人物的快节奏剪辑，瞬间将眼球拉进画面，也将感官推入这种「振奋人心」的氛围。
虽然很鸡汤，但是作为体育类电影做到了最重要的一点——写实。
发挥主要靠心态是么？看了开头以为是一部很特别的体育片，平庸。
詹姆斯和桑德勒制片，大票球星客串，围绕教练和球员二人及两者家庭的故事属于行活水平，拍得也差强人意，真实和虚构的结合也是主要看点，中间加长的训练段落剪辑不错，干净有力，节奏恰到好处，比较有意思的其实是片子所涵盖的NBA球队的运作体系和商业逻辑，但本片只做到了流于表面的展示，没有深挖内里的阴暗面，也是某种献礼片了（毕竟75周年）
套路的励志片了，但是这么多本人出演也是很有诚意了，几场选拔赛拍的不错，就当是为秋季的slam dunk积攒情绪吧。绝不要质疑Sandler的演技和台词功力。
能让观众从剧情和画面中感受到它所展现的运动的魅力，就已经成功了，谁还在乎套不套路呢。
作为一个篮球电影，竞技部分太弱，为啥会有喜剧类型的分类。这个剧情真的是太扯了
剧情虽然老套 但是运动带来了其他东西无法比拟的热情和荷尔蒙 一瞬间觉得好像有梦想就能励志就能成功 摸了摸身上的肥肉告诉自己我能瘦
训练训练再训练那段蒙太奇，剪得也太帅了吧！
虽然想打高分，但真得有点尴尬，甚至都不怎么热血…
所以忙了半天也也没选上人家，自己也没当个经理人啥的，都给波士顿做嫁衣了
我们能预见类型的套路，却永远无法想象运动员付出过的汗水。痴迷比天赋重要，因热爱，永不熄火。放低要求的话，埃尔南戈麦斯居然演得还算过得去。爱德华兹那些台词可能都不用背，NBA日常问候语罢了。
难得的是，电影与NBA现实人物、经营状况深度融合，除此以外只剩不假思索的套路了
没有想象中的激动人心，感觉还不如看一场比赛。
