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)
坂本龙一给配的乐，坎妹给打的酱油，信条男主给力演绎一个生而被杀绝命逃亡终成伸冤人的救赎故事。
这导演根本没能力拍这种片子，放到三十年前类似亡命天涯题材的导演一大把，只能说现在水平倒退了。
黑人男主被迫卷入他国争斗，不过运气不错，怎么弄都死不了……
当代“The Man Who Knew Too Much”。以身体感知适应陌生环境，穆赫兰道式地进入城市/核心，在贝克特式荒诞中成为英雄。美国大使馆办公室《帝国事业：毁灭》。
这丹泽尔华盛顿的儿子就是成龙呀，本来还以为是翻拍之前那部假期惊魂的电影，结果是另一个故事，没有之前的古典神秘主义变成了部惊悚片，前面还挺欧洲的后面越来越美国。时代变了，再也没法拍出《西北偏北》那种味道的片子，还有就是坂本龙一教授做的配乐真棒，氛围营造的超好！
老黑战斗力可以啊，一个平民，刚出了车祸，胳膊骨折，吞了一口安眠药又中了一枪，满山遍野的跑，又是狂奔又是干架一整天，又中枪又中刀的还能干挺一堆专业的，而且没有什么花里胡哨的招式，就平A，血厚攻高体力槽还锁死
在现实生活中是
这么好的电影，不给满分的都是薩痹啊，这片各种9.11的涂鸦，隐喻都不是隐喻了，牺牲自己老百姓的性命，就为了在别的国家搞阴谋啊！美国是真的不行了啊，这次大流行，应该就是最后一根稻草了吧！
比想象中好看，普通游客异国度假卷入政治+黑帮阴谋的故事，本片另辟蹊径之处在于阴谋悬疑只是无需深究的线索和背景，而电影重点刻画的是小人物在异国他乡的无助和险象环生的求生经历，代入感极强，一度跟着男主紧张得手心冒汗，拍摄手法太真实，推荐。
其实故事很简单，男主搞明白发生什么情况的过程太长了。与其说是悬疑片，不如说是教育片：不要疲劳驾驶、酒后驾驶，不然你就会害死你的女朋友，顺便被一个国家的jc追杀。
虽然让万恶的中文吸睛片名给骗了，但其实还是挺有意思的片子。
车祸引发的政治阴谋绑架事件，背景可大可小，大的可以说美国等实施干预，不愿意不合心意的领导人上台，小的是黑帮为财产绑架（大使馆的人的说法），哈登作为普通人躲避追杀，带着车祸的伤病，一而再再而三的幸运脱逃，末了还坠楼砸车，阻挡坏警察逃跑，解救人质。情节动作应该设计得再合理一些，不能只靠编和取巧。
悬疑氛围还是挺足的，中间山林逃亡很希区柯克的感觉。故事还是太过无聊且牵强。
JD爬高跳崖直逼《信条》只是那肉肉的背影又笨拙又莫名性感
故事叙述略显单薄。除了主线故事，情节不够丰富。而且节奏不好，显得冗长。
就黑人真的好能跑啊😂大哥跳崖跳车跳窗手还伤了还能逃出生天，全片让观众和男主一样，不知道为啥自己就被追杀了，很好
6.3分。比较写实的剧情惊悚片，但停车场跳车简直是败笔，让唯一的优点写实的部分也荡然无存了！我鄙视白左，只要是黑鬼被虐的我都是欢迎的！就算是华盛顿的儿子也没用。哈哈😂
手法挺老派的，悬念营造得有声有色，可惜情节展开后就越来越水，看着男主一路反杀，又回到了熟悉的网飞风格。
还有这个网也卡的要死
华盛顿同学的选片似乎有问题，好几个大制作，品质上乘，甚至还有诺兰的作品。可是这几部电影都差点意思，奇怪。
