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)
比较无趣的翻拍，改编果然符合他们一贯的调性，更加突出反派的阴狠和警察的无能，黄政民最终活着基本靠自救，总之精彩程度、演员表演、人文关怀都比原作差了两个档次。
一定不要把这个和真实事件对比，也不要和原版对比。因为这就是个简单的个人英雄主义电影。黄政民是绝对的主角，剧情也为此服务而做了不少改变。因此也逃不过情节的幼稚和愚蠢。
要是没有看过吾先生，这个可以打7分，翻拍都不及格。。哎
重温完肉山黄政民和千代的经典对决，突然想看正版的片。几个绑匪的选角差点意思，电视剧型表演。李瑜美真好看
黄正民的演技秀，但还不如不用黄正民演黄正民。反派适合找个气场更强的能接得住黄正民戏的大演员。整体看下来很无趣，只有黄正民的演技能看一看了
从哪刨出来的干儿瘦的反派？原来棒子翻牌也有扑的时候。基本上是毫无意义了
遇到找你合影的人，友善一点。如果你是个明星的话。另外，韩国警察啊，一如既往的窝囊。
对于人物从手机等监视画面采用多机位还是觉得很尴尬
这绑匪是照着王千源的脸型来选的吗？太差了！
这就是个普通动作片吧，放在韩国电影的维度，动作又不咋滴……
老黄确实演技牛逼。初入敌营时眼角不经意滑落的泪。
完全成了个犯罪动作片，远不如《解救吾先生》
李浩贞哪里来的 非常sexy 这导演别的不说 把短发妹坨那种高温黏腻腻不修边幅的sexy拍的很自然有美感
双雄变独角，飙戏变儿戏。黄政民若是拉上隔壁《鱿鱼游戏》三杰才会是一出好戏吧。
同时被绑架的那个女的，是《鱿鱼游戏》里面的那个姑娘吧，绑架她干啥啊，去玩游戏也没挣到钱。。
难得思密达那边翻拍了一部我国大陆的电影，最后电影的结尾做了个人英雄的改编，男主亲自抓住了绑匪。
以前都是我们翻人家，这次看人家翻我们，亚洲文化圈的来回翻拍看起来大多都没啥违和感，比东西文化跨文化圈的翻拍容易接受的多。
虽说是翻拍，但基本改了一半内容，黄政民这次在平行宇宙里输给了刘德华。
翻拍了一个寂寞，这波我天朝完胜，吾先生的优点在王千源，人质的缺点在黄政民，不是他不好，而是他演了自己且没有跟他匹配的对手戏演员，韩国版把重点放在众匪，祸起萧墙的阶级感深入骨髓。
把一个非常现实和独特性的真实故事改得太商业类型化了。而且处理的的非常简单模糊，后面尤其扯。
