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)
临近片尾时是高潮，情感累积到溢出。生活里的每个人都很难……一家之主的爸爸，面对生病的妻子和虚惊一场的患了感冒肺炎的小女儿，终于绷不住自己一个人哭了起来；妈妈也会害怕，也会疼，也会不知所措，也会大哭，妈妈也是个女孩子啊；姐姐不善于表达，怕妈妈死去所以不知道如何亲近妈妈，表现得讨厌妈妈，实际她是爱妈妈的，却不知道要怎么办；妹妹年纪那么小却很懂事，让人心疼。
所谓江湖，快意恩仇，仇恨就是逻辑，多谈人性，少讲大道理，各有各的理，就是反派蛰伏谋划20年被家破人亡的小子从头到尾一路反杀说得过去吗？
三星半
很多动作其实真人都做不出来的 违反物理定律 当然制作很认真 鼓励 剧情也不是单纯的好人坏人
天下熙攘，利来利往。一两热血，价格何如。这江湖，灭了吧。9分的画风 打斗，5分的剧本 ，有趣的港片风配音7.0
过好自己的人生才有可能成为好的父母，不要再说“都是为了你”“都是因为你”了，如芳仪所说“你总是能选择”。
动作戏的招式设计、镜头调度放在真人功夫片中也不逊色。故事很简单，但江湖氛围营造的不错。
“我没有错，只是败了。”
3.5 我喜欢看到令人讨厌的角色 说明那才真实
好喜欢扮演安仪的这个小演员，在台词说之前眼神的戏都给到了。大概是期望太高，总觉得还差那么一点。
虽然还是不习惯这种人物和背景完全割裂的画面
剧情比较薄弱 有些细节还是看到经费的不足 比如爆衣 打完只见身上血 衣服都好好的 另外女主的颜值也拉低了分值 但是打斗分镜 节奏和画风 真的是要给满分了 国漫加油
这个系列的武打实在是太赞了! 刀枪剑戟，白刃相交，行云流水之间，武术美感尽现。尤其手刃西门仁之时的处理，真的很惊艳。只是配音也还是一如既往的有些出戏。。。
这剪辑晃得头晕😵💫，其实运动镜头里的特写没必要这么频繁切多角度来展示动感
过瘾。一招一式都那么凌厉。徐克那些老武侠片那样打得很精彩。
为啥不上院线 肯定去支持
最后那场母女打架，父亲打了女儿的戏 情不自禁流泪 感同身受
要是能改掉打架时瞎逼逼的坏毛病，评分会更高。这片子真的偏科的让人心疼，还好电影从来不讲究木桶效应，将动作设计做到极致，照样有人买单。
平衡叙述视角之后的《伯德小姐》。太松散，不凝练，前半段还勉强兜得住，后半段直接支离破碎。不过，质感绝对算得上近几年台湾电影中最好的那一档。
