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)
去你妈的个人英雄主义，就一个字。爽。话说谢苗怎么还不🔥
没明白肖家这三个兄弟是怎么有勇气冲到一帮混黑白两道老板的饭局去的，也不明白这帮老板是怎么愿意咽下这口气的。还有留学回国这哥们儿，从出场开始就在立高智商犯罪人设了，可看上去实在太装x了，换我就第一个揍他。
真挺好看的，比绝大多数院线电影好，谢苗浪费啊，少林十八罗汉就不错
感觉还挺不错的，毕竟有武术功底，动作戏优于大部分国产警匪片。谢苗这个警察形象其实类似于《致命武器》里的梅尔吉布森和《虎胆龙威》里的布鲁斯威利斯，只要好好打磨个剧本，质感再提高一点，还是有搞头的。
剧情简单明了很是单薄。但剧中的打斗绝对是近几年国产巅峰，拳拳到肉，看的人热血澎湃，武术指导牛逼！
被抖音安利的“遗珠”。不难看，但故事本身没什么看点，更像是一集制作不错的电视剧
谢苗再发展下去，就成了网大之王了，不断提高网大的水平
给四星鼓励一下，网大能拍出这水平真的很不错了
有太多导火线的影子，要是结局就卡在老三做大巴车走了就再加一分。
给四星鼓励一下，网大能拍出这水平真的很不错了
有一说一，东北味儿挺足的。
这部剧精彩的十分中规中矩，可又比很多国产烂片来的好的多，这三兄弟反派演了真是绝，非常的接地气，丝毫没有那种学院派的话剧式表演，谢苗的打斗也特别精彩，想想成龙洪金宝李连杰吴京甄子丹等等打星都慢慢老去，确实需要一个年轻的武打明星出来。
其实挺好的 不过我就想钻牛角尖 那三兄弟之前都穷啥逼样了还能供得起三弟美国留学 而且就算能 没念上居然还能再美国混五年也是能人
打戏还可以。剧情太低b！没有逻辑！敢不敢写的大胆一点，整个黑社会加起来都没有10个人？黑社会敢不敢在警察里安卧底？将就看吧，主旋律嘛。
剧情紧凑，武打设计很好。虽然剧情经不起推敲但是我觉得还是给5⭐鼓励
21世纪了，没有人能在什么地方只手遮天了。
谢苗很努力了，不过剧情有点弱，反派大二三毛也比较挫，中规中矩，给个3星吧，加油
整体结构和导火线很像，就连反派三兄弟的配置都是一样的。几个群演拉垮点，其他还都不错，导演是香港龙虎武师一脉的，所以动作镜头是亮点。苗啊，努力会有机会的
四星，鼓励一下。谢苗要再次火起来，毕竟还是有实力的。顶级网大，拳拳到肉，感觉走甄子丹杀破狼和导火线的动作风格。只是剧情和画面差点。而且色调太暗。
2星给谢苗，1星给东北十月收粮后赌博横行的故事背景。
