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)
Zac Efron自虐记 是准备挖金版荒野猎人冲一冲奖？
虽然很老套，虽然男二一出来会反水。（这演员就是反水专业户），本来想打两星，但是好在整部片的文戏是花了点功夫的，虽然很简单！六分及格。
整体情节硬伤，转折的有些莫名其妙，动作枪战戏还是不错的。24小时的小强也上线了，但是反派。
这种电影和以前那个活埋一样，就靠演员了，几乎没啥剧情，女性角色不出现可能会更好，扎克埃夫隆成熟了还蛮不错的
为了撑满90分钟确实很努力，但是因为太刻意导致没玩出花（这种独角戏真的至今无出《活埋》其右
螳螂捕蝉 黄雀在后，叫荒野求生更现实，只有三个演员，晒伤妆画的太虐心了。如果让我猜一下这个故事是在哪里发生的，我猜在中东的大沙漠。
故事架构非常好，但有点可惜，影片把主要篇幅给了男主个人的艰难等待上，如果在尔虞我诈方面表现的更多一些就好了。
废土风马马虎虎吧，有点无聊。这老有几个苍蝇围着脑壳飞这有点厉害。
与其痴心妄想 不如脚踏实地
还是太贪了，拿一小坨走不好嘛，非要赔上性命。结局看到老头子死了就放心了。
还不错，几个人讲了一个人性小故事，化妆效果不错
想起了当年的《活埋》，小成本固定场景，深挖人性不自觉就代入到主角的心境，从希望到绝望的变化，信任比水更难能可贵，更别说黄金了。
面对金山，信任、贪婪、生存才是核心考验。古今往来，贪婪都是人类的的绝命毒药。
看到肥佬拿着望远镜时，真是“人心不足蛇吞象”
看到后面简直成了恐怖片，尤其当那一箭突然出现，感觉像是射在了我胸口吓我一跳。人为财死鸟为食亡，亘古不变啊。男主真是白遭罪了，演员竟然是当年歌舞青春里那个小鲜肉，真是完全没认出来。这才是毁容般的表演，估计拍摄时也没少吃苦头才能把在荒漠中脱水无助崩溃的状态表现得那么生动逼真。开始的卫星电话语音提示竟然是纯正的中文，难得。
感觉没有什么很突出的地方
很喜欢克里斯佩恩，但是这片子后半段真的莫名其妙啊…..和其他评论说的一样，敷衍！好评就是美国+疫苗+研究疫苗的科学家…..很真实
柏林枪战那段最好看，后面的剧情简直槽多无口和闹着玩似的，结尾派望着家人的微笑也格外老套…
好像年纪大了的偶像明星，都得演一部特别苦的影片
看着太难受了，干燥，没水没食物，很不舒服的感觉。。
