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)
其实挺一般的，跟第一部想比视觉冲击感差了太多，刺激度也不太够
看艾尔莎换装，
动作戏靠调度和声音设计有加码，叙事看少了10分钟就知道在衰减。感觉主创对新一部的反派的信心没有前作足，自我致敬式的笑料反而暗示了大鱼吃小鱼。
三星打给马东锡打人的片段，安全感爆棚，管你什么疯狗胖揍一顿就乖了。
220721. ★★★★★☆.解压！反派的狠劲犹如子丹哥上身，肉搏战较前作全面升级，力道呈现堪称当代韩国时装动作片的典范（之一）（去年的代表是摩加迪沙）；编导和战术顾问（有的话）的智商在吴东均被捅一段临时剧烈下线，大为拉低了影片的格调。问一下资深的大人们，在一拳警官的绝对力量面前，“杀气”这玩意儿有什么用？能叠物抗抵多几拳？雷奇和斯塔赫斯基镜头下的人物不过是比张谦“编舞”更眼花缭乱罢了，跟本作是一条路子的吗？？？多点视智重疾的自觉，少嗦鬼子少放屁。年度笑话。
韩国国粹—西八、sei gi呀、kei sei gi
非常套路又非常欢乐，而且为什么结尾大战之前又出现那种神台词，“这钱咱们五五分吧！ 那谁拿五啊？”真是笑死了，哈哈哈哈，下一部是不是要给马叔认真找个对象啥的了，期待第三部。
『 7.0 西八含量超标，拍的真好看，马东锡越来越一拳超人 』
类型比上一部成熟，但反派没上一部变态。
商业片就是解压用的，从这一点看，这片子成功了。故事也说得通，我特别喜欢那个地痞（作为前传），小人物在第一部发达以后让家人也得到享受了。
能用刀絕不用槍，原生態力量型打法很炸裂，馬東錫的短板是不會踢腿，反派演出了人狠話不多，最佳段落反而是他的旅館2對N長鏡頭。
（蹲一个清晰的汉语中字特效字幕还是值得的）
［6.0］看看打戏就行了，废话剧情一堆，还特别老套又无逻辑。韩国动作片再不创新也就那样了。
非常简单的故事和脸谱化的人物，打斗追逐包括酷刑都一般很淡口味，居然评价这么高无语
马东锡凭借一己之力，彻底颠覆了我对韩国男子花美男的形象。
和1比少了些历史还原部分的人文意义，但仍是合格的商业动作片
崔会长的安保堪比安培的，陌生人都能跟着一起靠这么近
非常套路又非常欢乐，而且为什么结尾大战之前又出现那种神台词，“这钱咱们五五分吧！ 那谁拿五啊？”真是笑死了，哈哈哈哈，下一部是不是要给马叔认真找个对象啥的了，期待第三部。
当普通肥皂片看看就好，就不要去纠结那么多不切实际的剧情了
毕竟暴力警察这一点，还是玩不过我心中的NO.1——导火线‼️
