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)
推荐指数：🌟🌟
6.5分。作为真实事件改编，拍的实在是太平淡了点。没太多的爆点。最后竟然是依靠卧底反杀这种莫名其妙的方式才成功也是醉了。其实最后政府各个部分相互推卸责任这段大有可挖，但却轻飘飘一笔带过了，最后变成了个没太多深刻内涵的玩意儿，可惜了。。。
音乐剧搬上大荧幕的失败之作，节奏混乱，感情线马虎。家庭群像还行，不过看凯特琳和老戏骨对戏还是过瘾的。
空气杀人 的简中版翻译的比较一般，但看情节没有太大的问题。故事都写在海报上了，剧透一点有很多打官司的戏。算近年来及格线以上的韩国电影，没有惊艳，底线也不低。比较不理解有人挑刺李先彬的演技，和电影一样不惊艳是肯定的，但也没有到挨骂的程度。这种靠技术性反转，200分钟容量剪成100分钟时长的电影演员发挥空间不大。看完就忘记的电影，爽100分钟足矣，至于最后故意拔高那一下是好是坏，就仁者见仁智者见智了。
真的可惜了，本来可以拍成一个很不错的青春片的，不过贡献了一首很好听的原创曲目，还是SZA的
不过整体来说还好，所有的包袱都能猜到，只是看他们走这个流程，比熔炉，素媛，辩护人啥的差的多，但对普通观众来说很友好
时代需要这样的影片，真的想问一句，不用“加湿器”这破东西不行吗？
舞台上一个人solo可能还行，放电影里无聊又漫长，视听语言过于单一。给指条明路：出官摄。
根据真实事件改编，最后官员推诿扯皮的嘴脸真是够了
敢拍噢。真实事件？那些用消毒剂而死亡的人太惨了。最后反转好评。尹敬浩真的是老实人的脸啦！
最坚韧的是人心
全世界几乎都被财阀和政府掌控，事实上世界上还有更多这样的事情正在发生，有些人在拼命抗争，也有更多的受害者家属在金钱利益的驱使下沉默不语。正义在不断缺席。真实事件改编，振聋发聩。
韩国的真实事件 受苦的是韩国人民 财团依旧可以脱身推诿。
又是一部靠电影唤醒大众舆论的韩国电影，“我是英国人，才不在乎别的国家的人民的死活”以及结尾，极具讽刺
3.5。作为电影来说乏善可陈，但是其反映的内容让人无法不联想到往三聚氰胺里加奶粉，以及之前、之后的许多年来屡见不鲜但最终不了了之的诸多事件。
别当电影看……DEH快出官摄吧，留点星给《waving》和《you will be found》😓
还好我们不给外国人超国民待遇，还好我们部门之间不会互相踢皮球，还好我们这里资本家都是人民资本家。真好真好。
前三分之二看得太气了，以为要黑心企业再度销售害死更多人才能再翻案，没想到胖代表居然是个卧底，一个失去女儿的可怜父亲对着新闻昭示真相的哭泣这个反转，有些突兀但也着实感动。真的太可怕了，韩国敢拍就是比我们有勇气！金相庆怎么可以发福成这样扣星。
要不是我很喜欢音乐，我半小时就会退出这个电影。没办法共情……
故事并不吸引人的前提下，剧情无趣节奏缓慢，离及格线都还有些距离
