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)
前半段景色也喜欢，后半段有点拉胯，但是看看还是可以的，泥哥的求生之路。
约翰大卫华盛顿演的还是比较拼的，全片几乎一直在跑，在哭，在一直处于危机四伏的状态。片里的剧情如果真实发生的话那实在是太吓人，在异国他乡旅游意外出车祸，女友死了，自己却被当地的反政府组织和警察追杀，甚至逃到自己国家的大使馆里去也差点被外交官杀了，太绝望。算是部合格的惊悚片，可以一看，但别抱太多期待。
2021.08.13(五)~14(六)看。
如果结局走向不这写 还能加一星 拍成“无处可逃”那样不香吗？？？非要画蛇添足一出
居然挺好看的，不过女主角太早领饭盒了，可惜？黑人男主还是倒霉鬼的形象。
请问男主你还记得你要给女朋友的爸妈打电话吗……
真就追了一路啊...简单的剧情，没有一点新意和起伏
剧情／犯罪／悬疑，60分及格线作品，110分钟版本，15岁以下青少年儿童禁止观看，满15岁、18岁以下未成年人须在成年家长陪同下观看（分级警告）
这电影真的太一般了，而且华盛顿一个黑人在一群希腊人里能躲到哪里去呢
PS 坎妹打了个大酱油....
没有最后后备箱小孩子出来，打算给1星的，剧本太烂了吧，难道不是为了黑美国政府而拍的
太能扛打了，惊了。BGM看得时候觉得很出彩又惊艳，一看竟然是教授。
前半段剧情还行 后面越来越拉垮 女主颜值加一星
【2】看完才发现配乐是坂本龙一，个人觉得有点“牛刀杀鸡”。
希腊城建这么差的哦，看男主疲惫笨硕的胖腿，仿佛要摔倒一样慢腾腾，却每次都能被后面的大长腿追不上，也是奇了怪了，不过全程真是一直在奔逃。
wrong place wrong time
不知道是否是故意营造出小成本制作的质感，紧张气氛渲染也不够，阴谋描写也浅尝辄止，最后戛然而止，有点无聊。
平凡之中的伟大，不是精心策划的剧本，却依旧抓人。
行车不规范，亲人两行泪，大型交通安全宣传片，切勿疲劳驾驶。你停路边睡一觉，故事都可以改写成情侣希腊蜜月旅行。另外美国公民真就人均孤胆英雄呗，反派一个能打的都没有，还搞什么政变。
优点是视听效果还不错 但这个本很精彩的剧本呈现的戏剧效果却很一般 度假情侣因为车祸卷进政治阴谋应该很有看头 但片子对主角的心里描写的就非常不合理 更不用说后面惊悚元素能带来多少惊喜和质的飞跃 追击这种元素拍成简单没有创意的逃跑也太浪费了
