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)
完全就是个圣诞档……难得每一个演员都很顺眼，情也煽得不错。
多多小朋友去电影院看的第一部电影，中途狂哭两次，非常感性。and权权and布丁。
但适合科幻片入门小白！
被包裹在科幻爽片下的一个温情故事，其实还不错。
瑞安·雷诺兹依然在打着嘴炮，甚至带着12岁的自己，找绿爸爸一起打嘴炮。中规中矩的穿越片，流水线的商业及格作品，家庭元素上还是很温情的。
爸爸说，人类不该干预宇宙的运行，存在比科学更强大的力量。
流畅的行活，流畅到不怎么讲道理。比新蜘蛛侠好看。
特效不错，故事比所谓的儿童电影要好上一些，但依然没什么内容，仅仅留在故事表面的科幻设定。
出乎意料地好，编剧水平超过95%以上投喂给成年人的国产电影。
仿佛所有这种碎嘴主角的科幻片都要找这家伙来演了，以及马克路弗洛真的是长了一张专门演温情文艺片的脸。
超级英雄合家欢 还行吧 大爱丛林中的房子 庭院也太棒了！
little Adam: you hate him because he died.you made yourself hating him coz it's easier than missing him。这种跟自己以及亲人和解的情感内核，总是让我破防啊！ (Mike)
电影的最大的好处是可以圆梦，让你遇见未来的自己。
No.2434 虽然比较流水线式，但架不住笑点和科幻的内容对我的胃口。只是对于反派有些不能理解，蠢了些从而降低了拯救世界的难度。
唯一漏洞：高速飞行的子弹都能吸走，装着同样子弹的枪吸不走？
今年看过最好的动画电影，没有之一。美加妈妈在车下护住小萌鸡的那一刻真的很感动。
此外，这部电影也凸显了现今好莱坞电影的一大通病，太多的插科打诨和“油腔滑调”，作为核心要素的故事反而在很大程度上被遮蔽了。
没有好的创意就不要去拍科幻片了。上世纪七八十年代就被拍烂的题材，现在还要拿出来新瓶装旧酒。枯燥、乏味、无趣。漏洞太多，让人无力吐糟。也就看看网飞的钞能力，一众漫威再就业的卡司以及还算不错的特效。
陪女儿看的，剧情不算复杂，完整性加一星吧，为了省成本把毛发剃光了，不过可以理解，鼓励下吧
雷诺兹演技一直不太行，演什么都是他自己。再加上烂剧本和没大能耐的导演。
