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)
这部前传不伦不类，但是，调侃历史并非原罪，作品本身也不是纪录片（纵然纪录片也有各家观点），不能一句虚无就掀桌子。更何况本片的立意在于反战，所谓左右之争只是笑话，战争是可以被操控的。电影问题在于：作为一部快节奏间谍动作片，铺垫着实太多，等机构真正开始做事，已经直捣反派老巢了，大量篇幅被浪费在描写过度保护欲的父亲和叛逆的儿子这段关系上。精彩打斗屈指可数，比如昙花一现的拉普斯京舞蹈Battle和结尾大战（反派简直不要太好猜，极其套路）。另外，系列电影的搭档戏不见了，两个人物的反差变成了一个人物的成长，不仅牵强附会还让人觉得精分。
英国可劲揉了一下德国和俄国。美国人拯救世界，英国人拯救历史。加上认为全世界的好东西都来源于他的棒子。这三块料太无敌了。
确实跟第一部不能比，还是别带脑子看了，三星里的一颗星给Harris的颜值
狗尾续貂，架空历史，逻辑不同……儿子牺牲时候就已经气力全无……从炫技派代表到如此地步，三部曲，不好整也可以不整
最近看了太多这种爆米花shit.这改写历史黑化列宁实在是。。。
在枪林杀戮之后顿时化作弹坑里的无尽悔泪。
哪怕是自己亲生儿子也无法阻止他以身试险。
3星爆米花，配上现在局势变2星，彩蛋出来变1星。哦不对，用大紧老师话说，给1星都是客气
索然无味
虽然没抱任何希望，但也没想到The King's Man会这么烂，很难想象与第一部Kingsman是同一个导演的作品，马修·沃恩有种英国王晶的即视感了。
一把年纪还打 拉尔夫真不容易.. 这是要出一百年的前传啊 翻译世界大战有点儿意思 但其他的就..

额，一战原来是丑闻。。列宁原来是反派人物。。。。然后居然和希特勒认识。。。然后居然都是英国人在操纵一切。。。OMG。。这脑洞~~
装腔作势，胡讲一气，这里面的绅士就是一群装逼的人
制作上挺精良的，但是想讲的太多拖累了叙事节奏
他们何必在乎塞尔维亚那种小国？
德国愚蠢、美国猥琐、俄国阴险，只有大不列颠才是真汉子，真是把一战历史黑的不行.....
很好看，怎么评分只有5.4分？？可能是前半段动作不够多，但是后面很精彩，特别是落在敌人总部的悬崖边上。推荐！
“金士曼万岁”
本以为拉叔只是镶边客串，没想到居然是大男主+动作担当，大惊喜。不过作为前传，编导仿佛在严肃战争反思与荒诞谍战喜剧的风格间迷失了反向，从纯架空到历史解构的世界观改革也颇为踉跄。而最大的问题是King’s Man的核心价值，披着和平外衣的后殖民主义救世主思想深入骨髓而不自知，简直虚伪到令人咋舌。
