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)
最后杀人那段总感觉不伦不类
包容接纳，对于一家人来说是和美的唯一至关重要
看得出来潮汕的女性地位很低了，离过婚的女人，哪怕是研究生，是杭州人，是一个职场能力很强的领导，也配不上潮汕一个农村出来的做电商的小伙子哦！
拍得挺认真的，就是对这个故事毫无兴趣。谢苗身手不错，就是形象太吃亏了，不帅也不酷。
十年磨一剑，霜刃未曾试。今日把示君，谁有不平事。
取景和调色不错，后期剪辑过关，但是故事简单漏洞太多，也有矫揉造作的情节，作为网大及格。
很久没有看过武侠动作片了，颇有之前大手笔古装电影的精良制作与细节。故事简单紧凑，矛盾冲突围绕“公道”展开，多线背景并行却不混乱，侠义的表现也很热血，服化道、场景、调色都十分耐看，雪景和雨景两场打戏作为一部网络电影可圈可点，过瘾！
故事越简单，就越考验导演功力，无论文戏武戏，调度和设计都在很多院线大片的水准之上，很多的留白和写意也契合了东方武侠的韵味，那些故事不行演员来凑的创作者，那些动作不会就慢动作的创作者，那些声名远扬却烂片成堆的创作者，该好好来学习一下。
看完想去汕头看看。一部电影能激起观众想去故事发生地看看，吃吃喝喝，从某种角度来说，就是部不差的电影。
好真实，妈妈演技好好啊！就这样平平淡淡，看着也很吸引人啊！不需要特别狗血的剧情。
辽宁人觉得是部很不错的片子，下一部就去看369。阴魂不散的龅牙婆婆，玩世不恭的小舅。曲子和片子太贴合了，故事讲的总体不错。
超出预期，低成本就巧用灯光布景，故事粗糙就用小手段拓展分支，打斗填补粗劣，导演在制作上很有想法，值得鼓励。
故事简单，快意恩仇，制作用心，动作场景很不错，网大这水平很厉害了。如果剧本上再打磨下，放院线其实也可以。PS：喝酒微醺就好，喝多了搞出这么一堆事
去过一次汕头但真的很想去很多次汕头，没有人会不喜欢汕头的海边、汕头的人文和汕头的美食吧。潮汕虽然说着一些我听不懂的话，但依然令我着迷。这部电影只是将潮汕的气息原生态的呈现出来一部分，我觉得就做的足够好了，三星半。
这才是真正在演戏的汉子吧，哪怕演得是个瞎子也能看出其英勇狭义的一面，真的帅死！！侠之大者，为国为民，除暴安良，演员谢苗打斗场景全部都是亲身上阵，功夫也是毫不掺假。虽然武侠片终究还是不可能回到它们的巅峰时代，但是至少可以看出导演与演员在这部影片中的诚意，故事脉络并不复杂，但还是令人看得热血又感动，震撼又矛盾。毕竟，打斗不是为了装酷的花拳绣腿，剧情也不掺杂傻白甜的爱情故事，可以看出整个故事充满了狭义与道义，责任与无畏的深思。故事里，有这样一双错骨手，亦有那样一把听风刀，有如此一招楼兰斩，亦有这般一颗侠义心！
中式英雄主义的再放送。
“多子多福”的结构的冲撞和再结构化——如果最后是分手就好了
精悍+精良+精致，古风武侠片，各种武器+弓箭，宇文家设计得更像日本黑手党派，还有一个日式族徽。PS：没想到长大了的谢苗这么丑。#20220612
剧情极度空洞，连国产片用来塞时长的煽情桥段都没有╮(╯▽╰)╭
看了导演说的，这些素人撑起一部戏，连台词很多都是临场发挥，必须五星好评，真实接地气的生活，潮汕话的歌也好好听，边看边点了个广式外卖。
