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)
本来觉得中间除了二手玫瑰的高潮其他有点无聊，结果后半段太逗了，结尾小反转还挺精彩！哈哈哈哈哈～
太差了，别拍电影了行吗，侮辱了电影这两个字。
挺逗的，四星也够。就轻松不动脑片。二手玫瑰出来笑死我了。……近段时间好像看好多烂片，不知道是不是比的，感觉这个真的比那些所谓大片名角的都好看
有笑有感动，这不比那些作假的流量明星演的东西好看？？！！
创作上的鸡贼，将电影两大热门题材“殡葬”和“刑满释放人员”糅合在一起，以为走心，实则做作。故事稀碎，一些笑点还成。
表演也还好，并不矫情，虽然还是有浓浓东北土味，但是国产电影值得肯定和鼓励。
当长篇小品看的，隔离一个多月心情肯定是不好了，放低期望，放低笑点，超过期待
在第一场洗澡戏后就开始水戏了 但是梁龙出场非常惊喜 片子不贵 人都比较贵 问题是平台一到这种自制的就嗷嗷分 其他公司不活了呗 还整天喊口号喊透明 活该股票都崩盘
恭喜佳佳升级做电影了
这电影真的是我最近看过最好笑的电影了，剧情真神，看得我又哭又笑的，只能佩服一句老爷子演技真好
就冲着后半段只能打两星
俗是俗点，但还不算恶俗，作为曾经的“爱笑会议室”主要成员之一，崔志佳这些年露面并不多，不知道是不是因为和乔杉、修睿等人比，他并没有天生一副“喜剧脸”。
电影质感在网络大电影里称得上精良，演员也不会很生硬，也没有一股很浓的东北大渣味，真就一个平民百姓小电影，挺不错的。至于题材，反转虽然猜到了，但是不影响是一个喜剧电影，觉得还行了，比小沈阳那好多了
也没有讨厌的硬捧女星
感觉挺真诚的，没有那些恶俗和屎尿屁的情节，就是从头到尾没讲刘平安把他爸怎么了，中间致敬彩蛋太多了，不过整体不流畅，比如依依的病，两个人学英语，倒刀爷和他爸之间，赵大明白欠钱这些片段都感觉有点冗长
崔志佳自导自演，角色表现还这么好，很难得。
还应该推敲故事，喜剧为主比较好，对标西红柿首富吧这个不够搞笑
前面有4星，梗很密，也不老套；后面一半不值1星，不知道是咋了怎么老套无聊怎么来，这也不是合拍啊，怎么前后如此泾渭分明，后半部分烂的很彻底，快要接近麻花点电影了，如果那也算是电影。
多给一星，是对佳佳的鼓励。能看出来他在努力认真地学习借鉴模仿。老鹰说得没错，当男主角太胖了哈哈哈。
【涉及点剧透】剧本不错，前面猜出来姥爷可能是男主他爸，没猜出来老舅是刀爷。音乐配画面也不错，喜剧梗也挺多。十几年前崔志佳还是爱笑的一名演员，现在都当编剧导演了，挺励志。
