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)
东北不是这样婶儿的！东北不是这样婶儿的！再重申一遍！东北不是这样婶儿的！
按内影现在的商业片水平，这部上院线完全够打了
拳脚功夫不可少，也要平时多锻炼，电影和现实往往是相反的，罪犯往往比警察厉害
剧情和动作设计都一般般，毕竟是网大，还凑合
就看谢苗打坏蛋，动作扎实，拳拳到肉，看着都疼
剧情简单了一点，但拳脚功夫实打实确实看的挺爽的。
2015-2022唯一能拿得出手的网大（吊威亚戏除外哈
该片既然是网大就不要太多要求了，剧本是硬伤，其它的蛮好。
相当不错，虽然谢苗一直在拍网络电影，但是大部分都很用心，个别电影还拍的还非常优秀。给我们说明一个道理：哪怕你没有最好的资源，也不妨碍你的认真和努力！
甄子丹曾经说：“如果杀破狼是部跑车 那导火线就是一部超级跑车！” 这片子很多设定都有导火线的影子，特别是低配版反派三兄弟，对于现在的动作片行情，谢苗值得鼓励！对比下来高低能算部小钢炮GTI！
故事冲突制造的生硬无比，好歹是讲完了。拍个系列吧。
这个评分都有点低了吧 我觉得上7没问题，打戏看着就疼。ps：沃顿商学院出来就去东北呢噶啦当黑社会？
新少林五祖的谢苗长大了，打戏还是有基本，拳拳见肉
内容有点老套，让人想起了三十年前成龙的警察故事，包括片尾的花絮都很成龙。除了动作戏保持水准外，老三还是挺出彩的，一个不知名演员驾驭的有种韩国杀手的感觉，其实可以顺着这条线更深刻饱满一点，不必拘泥网大就80分钟，仅交代式的叙事。少些个人英雄主义，多点来龙去脉的铺垫会更好。
没想到没想到，只是作为东北人支持一下，结果让我对谢苗童星的刻板印象完全颠覆了。可能是预期值不高，结果非常喜欢。剧情虽然是传统的商业模式，但动作设计绝对不亚于一线打星。医院里那场戏，看着都疼。
中规中矩，那段聚赌的想法有点儿意思，但是整个编剧差了点意思，肖氏三兄弟那就是葫芦娃救爷爷，一个个上，打了三段，低成本的武打戏。东北彪子是够彪。可惜了谢苗，当红的时候引退去学业了，现在复出了，也没有市场了，只能是各种网大了。
但鉴于这个片没有一流的东西（可能也没有二流），还是给一颗星。
谢苗近期片子有点频繁，但是不得不说并不差，中国式的个人英雄主义类型，能打，做到人狠话不多
10/10。国产，红色佳作！本想说三毛有点土味，结果最后来了一个大惊喜，我也很能打！强烈推荐！
KTV 这段芜湖了，剧情出线了
