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)
7分。出乎意料竟然还不错。不能和那些经典的冒险电影相比，但作为迪士尼的合家欢来说还是非常符合要求的。ROCK无论是角色还是扮相，基本就是《勇敢者游戏》的翻版，Emily Blunt这次也还行，总感觉之前大女主演多了，女性柔美这块还是有些怪。整体而言还是非常欢乐的片子~~~
加勒比海盗+印琼 绝对是大片 值回票价 还要啥自行车？
除外很迪士尼，然后很迪士尼

22_062。难得一见主角是女性但完全没卖弄性感既没有红唇也没有短裙也没有细高跟，真是不错。日本元素融合得还好，最好笑的是浅野忠信和Miyavi都参加了，他们都讲英语。但国村隼不，无论女主角跟他讲英文还是日文，他都坚持只讲日文hhhhh
看多了 加勒比海盗，木乃伊，勇敢者的游戏后，这片也就那样吧
耍小聪明男导游和探索真相女博士一起携手大冒险打坏人的故事。看看画面还行，故事过于老套单一。
插科打诨的娱乐性不错，美国小岳岳的坏和《绝命毒师》里一样
技术没问题，故事讲得太无聊乏味了，断断续续看了3天才看完。

20210529 | 20210804 加勒比海盗的成功 那是天时地利人和 （半夜看到决战终局时外边忽然狂风暴雨 风雨稍歇时还有人放鞭炮(?!) 奇特的体验
看完由衷地跟萝莉发出一样的感叹：“太帅了！” 顺便BGM的日语歌老是让人串戏到棒棒鸡
还不错啦，单纯娱乐。我之前听说他们改编游乐园项目还觉得荒谬，没想到真就拍了一部游乐园感觉巨强的电影，就大家都不出汗的冒险行感觉。
非常复（老）古（套）的冒险片 有几幕特别古墓 艾米丽布朗特可以原地演劳拉 选角我很满意 笑点也在线 还有迪士尼式浪漫 这种片请每年多来几部 如果在电影院观影可以有五星
毫无意义毫无营养，无聊到一定程度的迪士尼可能应该不适合我这个年龄段了吧。
人设不讨喜，剧情强行圆，魔幻有海盗的印子，中平之作
是那种拍了无数遍，看了无数遍，还是继续拍，继续看的电影
木乃伊是一个女博士+她的超搞笑哥哥，再加一个“雇佣兵”男主，然后碰到一群守护金字塔的神秘人，BOSS有形态变化然后随着时间逐渐强大。
typical 三星片，可看可不看的类型，看了大概一周后也会忘光，俗，但是适合打发时间。
俗气得乏善可陈……也就是适合假期自己一个人killing time用~
