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)
很良心的网大，比啥悍刀行好出几条街，非常专业的武侠兵击动作，不是因为资金不足的话，补补文戏就是精品武打动作片了。希望以后多一点这种会武术懂武术的导演出现，才能把武侠片做得更好，摒弃那些威亚吊着飞就以为自己是动作片的渣片
想法很好，执行一塌糊涂，比《双旗镇刀客》差了不止一截。演技、台词、演员武术功底、剧本节奏控制都堪称平庸，预算受限带来的粗糙感（以坟地打斗一场戏的打光、演员鬓角的胶水为代表）也很明显
不太行，没有目中无人好看，武打确实也好，但剧情有点狗血。

我个人一直很喜欢武侠片，这部片是我自从《师父》之后，看到的最正宗的武侠片了，武打戏设计的很精彩，唯一美中不足的是故事上总感觉少点东西，看完之后没有回味感。但是瑕不掩瑜，喜欢武侠片的小伙伴还是很值得一看的
影片还算完整。动作有瑕疵。剧本拉胯，对白有尴尬，衔接（剪辑）有问题，武侠味较欠缺。但我看完了。
除了调调跟动作有那么点感觉了，其他都还差得多。这地方有点像拍《双旗镇刀客》的地方。
执法官说，白人是恶魔，，，不能呼吸的事件之后，为了趋利，匆匆忙忙迎合市场而拍摄的商业片，，，清一色的黑人演员，充斥着一些有寓意的台词，，，
虽然经费有限，剧本也没有精雕细琢，但是做到了认真
一入江湖，身不由己！
武戏看的直呼过瘾，好久没看到这么地道的武打电影了，最后鬼刀林说的一句“命运都是幻象，一切早已发生”堪称画龙点睛。也就证实了开头所讲述的，刀口这碗饭，端起了就放不下。想改变的命运，最后又回到了最初的轨迹。网大里可以吊打很多院线的作品了。
难怪动作戏非常精彩，原来导演懂武术。另外构图的色调也比较有特色。在剧本上面再完善就更好了。
风格武指还行，剧情及逻辑有点突兀，这十来年好的武侠片很少。
我以武侠之名，赐本剧7.5分。我以看过2000部电影之名为此正名。
作为个全员籍籍无名的电影，十分有质感和态度了，情节上有点弱，但是值得给够及格鼓励
给有心的网大一点鼓励。动作设计学的徐皓峰，故事是西部电影。虽然还是有很多缺陷，但没有网大那股急吼吼用最傻的东西骗观众的劲
这么好看的写实类国产武侠电影，居然被一帮喷子打这么低分，无语
女主很奇怪，剧本有问题，反二的模仿痕迹很重，整体还行
很好看。拍的不错。兵者凶器也，拿起不是轻易能放下的。
第一场动作戏最给力，越往后越平庸。故事是那种最通俗的，对白也就三流国产剧的水准。
