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)
很感动，看湿了眼眶
同名电影Knock Knock。饭桶外卖。反转再反转。贩卖儿童的人太可恨了，而且还是残疾儿童，没人性呢。我信钱，不信你。人为财死，一点没错，
很不错的体育电影，聚焦残疾人运动员完成的很好。
这是部标准的悬疑片，中规中矩，就算有点刻意（比如范伟问窦骁，张颂文是谁），那也是国产片的样板。也就不如心迷宫闯入者等了了数片而已。
时长稍有拖拉，连带影响故事节奏，优点戏剧张力(冲突)十足，剧本不俗值得一看。三星半
苏神微博推荐过来的，故事很感人很励志！希望大家关注下正在举行的东京残奥会！
总体挺好的，比无名之辈好。感谢群友赠票。 耀莱慈云寺
妈妈：“你残废是天生的，没有人会怪你，只会怪我”
剧本杀式低配版《疯狂的石头》，黑色幽默式的故事，加上回溯式的叙事，充满反转，场景有些单调，剪辑也拖沓，感觉是在故意拉长节奏，让整部电影有些松散，情绪不能完全调动起来。但是，货物出场那一段，虽然猜到了一些，震撼感也依然是有的，不知道为什么很难过，甚至有些想哭QAQ 整体我认为是值得4星的。【7.1】
虽然算不上十分惊艳，但是还算是挺有趣的，就是整部电影的氛围都比较荒诞，毫无真实感和紧张感。
剧本很刻意，但罗生门、套娃般的层层抖包袱还有点意思。剧本杀。
基本上是在玩信息不对称。二人组登场之前都还有些意思，圆的也还算合情合理，可是二人组登场后，这TM啥玩意呀，就如同耍观众一样
但创作态度是一回事，有没有与之匹配的执行力又是另一回事了。
北京冬残奥会开始了
小偷、外卖员、骗子、人贩子、父亲、杀人犯、美女、文艺中年……这些不搭噶的身份排列组合成一个个人，命运赋予他们不同的身份，而只有他们自己能选择，最后成为什么样的人。
几乎每十分钟一个反转，不过都是在补充新的剧情，而不是基于现有伏笔的解密，导致观看的时候少了些“原来如此”的快感。换句话说，电影之所以有些可看性，完全是因为这个故事是倒过来讲的。如果按时间顺序讲，就真的没什么可看的了。
残疾运动员真的需要社会更多关注
国产黑色犯罪悬疑喜剧是内地院线并不常见的类型之一，本片采用剧本杀式的设定，将舞台设置在一所老宅之内，主演阵容也颇让人期待，拥有小成本爆款的潜质。影片的叙事手法和CULT风格多少致敬盖里奇、昆汀和诺兰等一众鬼才，剥洋葱似的闪回、层出不穷的反转，让真相拼图在观众面前逐步成型又不断推倒重来。作为处女长片，整体完成度值得加半星鼓励，期待曾经跑得贼快（？）的导演带来更多的惊喜之作。
相对于奥运会，残奥会的确没有得到更多人的关注，关于残奥会运动员经济条件的探讨，希望在今后能够得到改善
高对比度的色彩配合电音营造紧张氛围，着实有点萨弗迪兄弟的画风，但是范伟和张颂文等人并没有像萨弗迪兄弟里的人物般那样充满狂躁和不安，倒是用一个相对较缓的节奏来对自身角色进行演绎。故事的体量不大，是用多人多视角拼凑组合成一个完整的故事线，感觉上有点像《记忆碎片》，前面倒还好，塑造的悬疑感很强，但是到了后面反转的地方还是有点扯，结局不够黑色。可以一看。
