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)
看评论还不错，但真的有点无聊，可能是剧情非常老套？连结局也是。
典型港片模式，方中信很charm，怀念智叔，其它就没什么好说的了
叙事零零碎碎的，最后就是死了不知道嘛，低配版灵异第六感，有几个镜头还是有些吓人
电影2星，剩下1星给智叔。编剧太垃圾，浪费好演员。
5分，基本就是tvb法庭剧其中一个章节的剧情，反转无惊喜，过程略无趣，全程都在看方中信释放魅力。
鬼怪，穿越，循环，恐怖氛围感倒是烘托得不错，剧情就渣一样
其实，我真的不赞成帅哥搞坏自己，虽然你在我这里是清秀款。颜艺可以没必要疯狂吧，分分钟钟怀疑你的下巴你的脸要掉了。dT-Tb。
开场悬疑氛围很足，中间剧情到结尾实在无聊！时空重叠，带降魔杵的现代驱魔人，多重性格的鬼魂，只有流于表面的恐怖气氛！导演以为扮鬼画符就是恐怖片，太低估观众了吧？
哈哈哈哈哈，依然是满满的神经病，最后的脑洞非常离谱，虽然没有第二部这么炸，但依然是超娱乐的沙雕大片，生田斗真无节操表演的大谢幕！
鬼真蠢呀，都凉透了还以为自己还活着，但这不是最离谱的，最离谱的是，鬼居然还会得精神分裂症，看来以后捉鬼用不到和尚道士或者天生异能之人了，去个心理医生吧！
和神经病一样跑了一个半小时什么都没解决赔了命一起轮回吧
视觉上有点像昆池岩 整个没什么逻辑 有点故弄玄虚
①案子不复杂 人物太多线太多 导致不像法庭戏 全在讲述背景
不适合看鬼片，大早晨心理不适。中心思想：其实你死了，问题你以为你活着。
男主身为驱魔师全程在逃跑，剩下一群鬼在互杀，看得我也不知道是该笑还是该干啥了...
开头和过程挺好的，时间空间重叠啊设定都好好，以为活着的其实都死了，但是编剧是不会收尾了么，，什么破结尾啊无语死，我超度我自己谢谢了，，，，
这是一部合格的搞笑片，当然是教坏小朋友那种。生田斗真的演技相当好，够贱
这个系列第一集比较好看，后面全裸日常化，就没啥感觉了。本来只是喜剧黑道片，最后直接整魔幻了
有点林肯律师游走黑白之间的意思，律师这个职业最适合拍灰色地带，跟卧底一样，好与坏完全看个人品质。
其实还是恐怖的。无限循环走不出来简直太可怕了。怨气大到成为了一个场，这个就有点像咒怨了。没有人能走出这栋房子。但是到底是从哪里开始重复的呢？那多重人格的鬼死掉究竟是一个灵魂还是多个灵魂呢。这个问题。。。有待深思，还是说多重人格就是身体里面本来就多出来了另一个灵魂？
