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)
看不下去。。上一个疯魔得这么残忍还是老手里的刘亚仁
很精致的电影。但我更希望老头不是outfit, 他只是根据剧情发展他所掌握的信息，在中间当狼，然后和前台全身而退。
不用脑子不用枪的韩警韩匪。武打设计太偷懒，战斗力过分夸张了，这样不好。
表演很有张力，故事没有新意，看起来像舞台剧。
小场景反转剧情片，老戏骨马克·里朗斯真是稳啊。
单一场景悬疑悬念对白片，经典套路，希区柯克升级版，罪恶之家类似，比罪恶之家还要集中，没有任何其他场景，牛逼牛逼，这才是高手做编剧的作品！
一盘大棋啊。一卷磁带引发的血案，简直是兵不血刃，事实证明即使用兵器也还能打。人才啊，谋士，一看他话含机锋，一来就反间，就不可能是个普普通通的裁缝。一个晚上，一个裁缝店，一个老人，扳倒了两个大黑帮，死了个傻少爷，把鹰犬和大佬搞得团团转，引来个对手，全灭了，保全了个女儿，最后自己几乎全身而退。
单一场景，靠讲故事吸引观众，有看老电影的感觉。
最后裁缝的大花臂出来有点过了，前面的反转挺精彩的，结尾有点败笔。
动作戏很不错，够猛、够狠、够血腥。马哥自带霸气，在屏幕外看的都超级有打击感。而起这么大的块头，除了震慑力外偶尔的生活气息还能带来笑点。
简单的场景，简单的故事，但是足够牵动心弦。
单一场景舞台剧类型电影，有瑕疵，但整体瑕不掩瑜，是不错的电影
老大叔太厉害了吧，各种心理战术，许多反转给人惊喜节奏紧凑，电影色彩也很复古，很不错的一部电影。
单场景室内，挺精致的，想起了好多老电影，真的很喜欢这种好生讲故事的片，多多益善；结构和节奏虽然不算完美，好几处给到的点甚至有纰漏，但是演员魅力真的太强了，我爱裁缝，一举一动都是质感。“English Man，穿上西装，就是装一装Gentleman。”
因在舞台剧中展现的优秀演技而获得过三次托尼奖的马克·里朗斯，其表演可谓水过无痕，颇有四两拨千斤之效，看得过瘾。
惊心动魄。
好适合舞台化的剧本啊 节奏转折都卡的很好 全程都能吸引人 全员演技在线 近段时间难得有这么舒适爽快的观影体验了
剧情有些硬伤，但演员的演技是真的可以的。值得四星
这个系列大有拍到第三部的可能性，已经是今年韩国的票房冠军了。风格与第一部相似，马东锡壮硕的背影出场似乎已经是标配，记得《恶人传》《新世界》就是如此。观影的快感在于过度（暴力）执法，秉持正义的暴力是能带来爽感的，执法者游走在法律边缘的冒犯给人以特殊的体验。马的动作硬朗，力量性与敏捷性结合得很好，过肩背摔、迅捷出拳、辗转腾挪非常敏捷，宣泄释放的快感十足。用电梯运送被治服的罪犯、被从公交车踹出来的江尚海等段落能让人的肾上腺素迅速飙升。暴力血腥场面比重也很有诚意，奇怪的地方在于手上十几条人命的悍匪被一股莫名的喜感消解，破坏了主题的严肃性。消费过度执法没毛病，与此同时娱乐性也过度就得不偿失了。
3.5吧。最后结尾不喜欢，不要交代老头的身份背景留个空白我觉得会更好。老头演技还可以，比王牌特工后面的续作更像这个IP。
