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)
作为网大，拍得真心不错，比之前的院线好看多了
不过剧情方面，还是相对可以的，每次《一生所爱》响起的时候，就有点被拉进前两部的镜头中去。问世间情为何物，只教人生死相许！
如果不抱着重温经典一样的期待，这部电影就能给你一点惊喜
有一说一，特效真的还可以，然后这个紫霞看起来也很耐看舒服。最后的最后，达叔一路保重！
紫霞这演员演得好美，男主角长得差点意思，片段有很多经典片的影子
虽然制作不算精良，但是讲故事的诚意还是很足的，比隔壁的两部电影好多了，四星鼓励，继续加油。
关键是这个紫霞笑起来真挺好看的，让人能够看得进去哈哈哈哈！！
男主长的不太好看，不过演的很不错，我一贯觉得演技可以拯救长相的，像周生辰啦，夜华啦，还有张万森，中堂系==
九孔那台湾腔太出戏了。黄轩都来演网大了，这不给五星？这特效也可以啊，比流量烂片好看太多了，情怀满分。
紫霞的女演员可以。但本片很沉闷，很无聊就是了。
作为一个剧本合格，演技在线的电影，我们没有理由给他差评，可惜这里是豆瓣，一个只在乎名气和所谓国际化的地方。
哈哈哈哈我笑了。
同类翻拍中 算是很用心的佼佼者了。剧情还算顺畅，感觉更像是白话文，翻译了整篇文言文。港式无厘头。
说实话啊，比后续那几部卖情怀的强太多了，但也没有b站说的那么感人。我看到最后想落泪，完全是因为吴孟达，这可能是我看过他的最后一个作品，尤其是片尾花絮，很难过。
槽点:达叔戏份不多；紫霞外貌合格但演技稚嫩；九孔的台普太出戏；特效一般；boss战直接化身上单孙悟空单挑石头人。
老戏新唱，却跳不出局限，如果不是对达叔的那份情怀，索然无味。
诚意满满的网大电影了！感动哭了！三世情缘真的太好哭了，两个人相互奔赴相互成全，好多地方几乎都是周星驰版大话西游的镜像。呜呜呜，女主越看越美。
居然还好于预期。。剧情和原大话因果还有逻辑的。。女主吊打同期王晶的倚天屠龙女主。
确实比刘镇伟的好看 网大预算不够 五星鼓励
冲着吴孟达来的。这应该是他的遗作。可惜浪费时间给这种垃圾片。
