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)
黄政民被导演绑架拍的这部片子。比原版稍好的地方是加进来的几个女性角色，但原版偏现实主义的犯罪风格全被韩国典型商业片花里胡哨那一套给取代了，太吵了，即使不考虑原版，也是不及格的商业片。
恍然大悟！原来绑匪是音乐剧演员金宰范！！！！
就这片这么多打3星的？我觉得因为黄政民可以给1星，不然这个片必须0分，韩国电影万年不变的日常黑警察，呵呵
节奏拉胯 反派弱鸡 剧情亮点全改没了 只能说改编不是乱编
改编的太“韩国电影”了，不如吾先生细腻，又变成了韩式的暴力撕扯。黄政民一个惨字，正常发挥，其他没什么意思
3.5，改编的真的非常韩式电影。黄政民饰演的“千万演员”黄政民甚至代表作也都是真的本人代表作有点意思哈哈，其中两个绑匪也很出彩，但是主角作为演员，战斗力也太夸张了。
韩国电影告诉我们，韩国的警察都是废物，都用上炸弹了，整部影片居然没有一个警察开过一枪，真是神奇啊，就黄政民的演技值三星
没有王千源好的反派，
改编的竟然还没有国内的有意思……果然改编会有很多水土不服的样子。黄政民绝对的演技派，也没表现出多么让人震惊的演技。自我逃生……果然韩国警察不可信，不如靠自己？
演战神成了真战神这种桥段不应该改编这部。
有这样完美的影星偶像吗？在生死之间毫无动摇拼死保护从未谋面的普通人
黄先生的演技不会有任何问题。没有看过原版，根据韩国实际的情况，剧情改编还是可以的。
黄政民本色出演黄政民，这是阿加西自己的个人宣传片吧，危机时刻还不忘拖鞋进人家家里，一直保护和安慰另一个被绑架的女孩子，真的好绅士一男的
标准韩片吧
黄政民的战斗力跟他电影里一样，出走半生，归来仍是大哥。（快要离职的我躺在沙发上听外面的风声看电影，想着明早要去买个包子吃，体会到了幸福。）
又看到了鱿鱼游戏里的小姑娘，怎么还是这么惨？！
C罩杯好亮（啊不是，韩版翻拍的其实不错，变成了俺喜欢看的黄政民动作片了，棒子警察一如既往废物啊
有新导演首尾难相顾的通病，新世界的梗抖得倒是还可以
（翻拍得不太好其实
离谱，浪费黄政民。韩国人觉得拯救吾先生值得翻拍是因为被绑架的是刘德华吗。反派角色也太烂了。
