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)
有国产的珠玉在前，黄叔的这部就显得平平无奇了。还有，韩国的警察真的这么弱智吗？
如果没有原版珠玉在前，这就是一部三分爽片，应该叫新世界之人质。。。
黄政民演着演着就成了之前片子里的颓废警察，最后大喊一声，你们这些废物警察滚一边去，让我来。解救吾先生的角度是警察和匪徒，这个片子基本就是人质和匪徒的大面积特写，全场靠黄政民一角独撑，主题性差一点。
悍匪有点二，明星高大全，全片缺少一种真实感。。。
所谓“一快遮百丑”，黄政民到底演了一个叫“演员黄政民”的角色，而不是他自己本身。
离谱，浪费黄政民。韩国人觉得拯救吾先生值得翻拍是因为被绑架的是刘德华吗。反派角色也太烂了。
西八，西八儿，女绑匪的C杯罩，真是大大大大大大
工业流水线作业，反派太能装了。这导演绝对是黄政民忠实粉丝啊，有种在看黄政民同人文的感觉哈哈哈。
比解救拍的好。全程紧张度把握很好。青出于蓝胜于蓝。

正如黄政民被绑匪打得乌眼青一样给改的面目全非！这次韩国编导嗑药了吧？嗨飞过头了！什么乱七八糟的。
原版本的就已經拍的不怎麼樣了 翻拍找了黃正民擔保 結果沒想到翻拍的版本更爛
韩版本土化改编还是脱离不了俗套，强硬加了太多
绑架，内讧，被抓，除了看看表演，其他真的乏善可陈。
为什么不是绑架马东锡呢？说实话没有刘德华那个版本好看。
韩国商业片特色：警察无能，贫富差距，娱乐至上，主角光环，队友是猪，翻盘还得靠自己。恭喜韩国拍出了具有自己特色的《解救吾先生》。
不要和原版对比 当个新的看还是挺有趣的 毕竟他们也深知自己的警察不牛B 不能像我们那样营救 看他们黑自己警察的电影就知道了 自救是最好也是最真实的
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。
黄政民的演技没得说，改编的偏商业，解救吾先生更偏现实一点。
