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)
以为男主角后面有大阴毛，原来是一个正直男。没有别的，就结束了90分钟
現在的美式甜心電影也都沒有什麼新意了，單純看顏、看道化，也膩了。雖然不用動腦子，但也是有點離譜。
Final week 复习作死看的电影// 看了小说一定会看电影的人就是我/// 蛮甜的
3.5星，剧情没太有新意，但是我喜欢的类型所以完全看得下去，幼稚的吵吵闹闹又互相吸引，轻松开心打发时间，不觉得无聊，如果不喜欢这种类型就不必看了
okay我能get你们想表达啥但nope，这个execution完全不work尤其是剧本写作部分，各位主创你们看到line delivery不会尴尬的吗？尤其是Oscar和Tiffany之间完全硬拉的chemi，就还不如当奥爹soft porn看【啥【老马你还是自己上吧【【
粗粗来看好像是针锋相对的爱情，但是女主最后真的不用道歉嘛，还是男主真的为迎合男老板而不得不说不尊重女主的话而愧疚？男主不梳背头很帅，女主很甜美，演员还是很养眼的

无聊的爱情口水片，两个主演都挺令人讨厌的，怪不得叫《the hating game》。
太难看了太难看了做作的演技和没逻辑的剧情连台词都那么烂。
剧情没什么意思，不过我本来就是来看帅哥美女的，这俩的性张力太太太迷人了！！
20220217:猫狗斗，哈哈哈哈喜欢这种类型的男主
致敬布列松的扒手，也不是第一次了，人物内心世界还是跟布列松的差远了，扒手可是有陀思的精神支撑着，这个赌徒是无法摆脱监狱虐待的心理阴影
美国电影里人家开车都是开路开路偶尔看一眼副驾的美女
剧情就是一坨shit...男女主都很养眼，尽管两人毫无CP感，完全不来电。P.s. BGM值得多给一星～
220325/想被人爱🥲/他们做爱了，我也想
这就是我爱你的开端
怎么只有6分，瓣青品味太高了，我是土狗，我给十分。男主太像布鲁斯南了，我直接嘶哈嘶哈
比想象的剧情要起伏多一点，虽然转折有点突兀，但是节奏画面人设都不错的chick flick还要啥自行车，在类型片里不错的，四颗星记录一下观看的舒心程度
被原著吸引过来的。感觉这个改编蛮成功，剧情快起来了，无关的人物也去掉了一些。但俩人的演技真的不咋地。
摄影机与Tell之间只保持着一种方向的运动：向他贴近。从而从此刻离开，逼退回某个恒定的原点，类型范式自然也便成了仅供演进的空壳。
