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)
大明星也是孤胆英雄？剧情过度戏剧化了，反派也是太普通……
穿插了很多黄政民主演的电影桥段，也算花絮吧，后来制服匪首时候有点太主角光环了，警察的枪都是摆设，舍不得开枪，结果被撂倒，靠主角去以暴制暴，女服务员角色毫无存在感，甚至都不如C罩杯印象深刻。其余几个绑匪也没什么有用的人设，除了暴力情节比较出彩外不如原版。
工业流水线作业，反派太能装了。这导演绝对是黄政民忠实粉丝啊，有种在看黄政民同人文的感觉哈哈哈。
黄政民：阿西吧，我都演人质了最后一切还是要靠我自己
可惜了！不如不拍，没有颠覆大众对《新世界》的印象，反而加固了这些shadow
黄政民依然演技炸裂，这不能看作是解救吾先生的翻拍，故事虽然一样，但拍摄手法和角色的着重点都完全不一样，算是一部新的韩国电影，跟以前的韩国电影比，这部的配角稍微差了点，整部戏就靠黄政民在撑了，但是我觉得角色名字不应该叫黄政民，黄政民本人有这么厉害吗？
从风格到立意被《解救吾先生》全方位吊打，黄晸玟又一次化身所向披靡的英雄人物（剧情需要还刻意安排了警察无能和绑匪内讧），只不过拯救对象是他自己，这也完全成了一种宣传噱头。不如处理成玩韩影梗多找点熟人客串的喜剧片。
为啥那个女警察不给劫匪一枪啊……等啥呢……
韩版《解救吾先生》，整体还可以，但无法超越原著。
三星不能再多了。黄叔这也算翻车吧，挑了这么个剧本，这电影照着华语版翻拍怎么翻成这幅鬼样子？一介演员，演打戏演多了就能变成这种战神吗，还尼玛carry全场，胜过警察。黄叔演丁青上瘾吗，演了从恶里拯救又演这个。话说那人质小姐姐，在鱿鱼游戏里为了叫新星的孩子而死，在这片里就一枪轰了一个叫新星的，也算是回本了……
看在黄大叔被暴揍的份上就3星哈哈，这电影反派不够出彩，还不如国内的王千源
看过国产的后看这部，比不了，什么都不到位，除了崔基莞比较聪明超出原版，别的都不行。
西八，西八儿，女绑匪的C杯罩，真是大大大大大大
唉，c罩杯领盒饭领得太早了。这电影跟解酒吾先生比真是差的太多了
披了解救吾先生的皮，内容基本不一样，全片就靠黄政民了，所以感觉他演的很用力。。C也就那样吧，我喜欢D的
真不明白这几个小瘪三绑匪是怎么有胆量绑架明星的？ 加一星给老黄哈哈
论此剧本没有人可以超越刘德华和王千源的演技
怎么可以翻拍成这样？一人打团队？是缺钱吗？黄政民请得起，另一位要一群年轻演员陪练？
角色错位了，真正的黄政民不会自己脱身，能脱身的黄政民只是一个叫黄政民的角色。相较之下还是原版更好一点。
这些绑匪都是弱智么？如果不是黄政民我早弃了。
