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)
《解救吾先生》实在看不下去，这部勉强可以，但看韩国电影的节奏，就是忍不住的会动怒。
拍得没《吾先生》好看，不过《吾先生》也主要是王千源演得好，韩国还是拍出了自己特色的！
黄政民演着演着就成了之前片子里的颓废警察，最后大喊一声，你们这些废物警察滚一边去，让我来。解救吾先生的角度是警察和匪徒，这个片子基本就是人质和匪徒的大面积特写，全场靠黄政民一角独撑，主题性差一点。
还行诶！追车拍得挺真实，但黄政民武力也太高超了（？）最后一段肉搏挺没必要的。老婆虽然演技有丢丢单一啦但是很美很美很美🥺寸头小哥不错。结尾bgm竟然是the passenger。
绑匪的角色原来是留给河正宇的吧？制片人不难受吗？哪有绑票戏，肉票独自气霸全场的？
翻拍翻车了，真水！太假了！差评！黄振民你不能这样了
确实差强人意 都根本不用对比 原版张华贡献了非常好的演技以及氛围 正面警察也有很多演技 H版除了新星有点亮点 其他都挺平 尤其反派头子更是差 节奏感 氛围都很差 正面也没有一个能有记忆点的 全靠自己反杀（主要也就是看黄政民了 但黄政民在片子的表现也一般 导演水平很有限）
剧情故事一般，没有惊喜，剧情有点搞笑，人质活到最后居然是遇到一群内讧傻子团伙…
❌剧本来自#解救吾先生 却没做成悬疑片 反而折腾成了动作片 怪异
2.6
黄政民的表演简直是太好了 作品的结构与节奏也成熟 从绑架到绑匪间的内部矛盾 3.5分
已经可以总结出这类电影的共同点 坏人战斗力爆表 警察无能 凭借主角光环和反派内讧取胜 绑匪甚至表现的比黄政民出彩 让人恨的牙痒痒
黄影帝请少接烂片。2021-10-5 02:04:19
这选角是真不行，这绑匪我看着都能30秒内把他打在地上跪着叫爹。
竟然翻拍自解救吾先生，先去给吾先生打个分。 感恩“卡西莫多”最后没有亲成功，不然我有可能这辈子都住在崆峒山了。 如果说忠武路还想有信誉的话，黄政民大概是我最后愿意支持的人。
拍得没《吾先生》好看，不过《吾先生》也主要是王千源演得好，韩国还是拍出了自己特色的！
“当年默默无闻的时候也被拒绝了上百次，他们嘲笑我，长得不帅，一口庆尚北道方言，脸还红扑扑的家伙…”
穿插了很多黄政民主演的电影桥段，也算花絮吧，后来制服匪首时候有点太主角光环了，警察的枪都是摆设，舍不得开枪，结果被撂倒，靠主角去以暴制暴，女服务员角色毫无存在感，甚至都不如C罩杯印象深刻。其余几个绑匪也没什么有用的人设，除了暴力情节比较出彩外不如原版。
就看个黄政民，摔下悬崖那段拍的不错，看起来真摔一样。
一次没有意思的翻拍，既不及中国原作，也未能改编出新的花样，依旧是韩国动作电影那些老套、陈旧的内容元素，人物角色越到后半段便崩得越彻底。两星。
