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)
就是杰森斯坦森电影常用的隐退大佬扮猪吃老虎的庸俗套路嘛，搞个小孩子挑逗观众情绪，结局大反转，这些手法都玩烂了，换张皮分就能高那么多。看斯坦森打架不比看这糟老头打手枪强？
几个演员，简单的剧本，不过节奏把握得很好，同类佳作
看了半部才发现男主是《巴斯特·斯克鲁格斯的歌谣》里那个嚣张的小个枪手。比利小子传奇落幕，可惜儿子演技不在线，一身奶气，和粗旷的西部格格不入。
大镖客粉丝一本满足，结尾扣1星，氛围感是真的棒
笑死个人，一个冷门电影的短评还有人复制粘贴，给你俩点赞，让复制粘贴的火出圈。
儿子很有天赋，只不过传奇老爹不想让他走自己的老路。
一般传闻他21岁时在新墨西哥Summer Fort被Garret警探射杀，这个片中Curry也讲到了。
老亨利，小比利，人狠话不多，啪啪三两声，个个击倒，不留活口，只可惜，到尾声，信错人，一代枭雄命往矣。
不可饶恕的剧本，只是老亨利感觉没有老牛仔气质，演技略显浮夸，没荒野三部曲那味。
正宗老式西部片的调子，传奇人物比利小子演义后传，犹如《水浒传》之阮小七被演绎成《打渔杀家》之萧恩。
他看着妻子哥哥死去
有种看了古典西部爽片的感觉，1906年的美国已经是世界第一，具有传奇的老爹逝去，带着传统的西部小子开始闯荡新世界。
他相信了曾经那个少年
表演有力 剧本离谱 在老亨利身上能看到所有西部片主角的元素 反派也是老戏骨 但是就像一锅无聊的大杂烩 故事情节上还是太弱了
情节够紧凑，不拖沓，有反转，又有不少西部片的影子。
题外话背带好帅，可是太难穿出合适的感觉了
他不相信救赎
孩子，你走之前把猪圈的猪都放生了吗？
传说中的比利小子变成了老比利，见识过大风大浪的人处变不惊，大杀四方，却终究暗箭难防
和《小人物》相比 套路一样 但老亨利火力差得比较多 观感体验也差了点
