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)
根据真实故事改编还是很有吸引力的，但是看了影片就会知道只是套了一个空壳而已，这简直就是俄罗斯的一个政治工作报告宣传片的感觉，拖拖拉拉的不讲过程在回忆人生的过程却大大的铺张镜头，老毛子的电影真的很难看，这个也算大制作了勉强给了三颗星吧，主要太让人想到我们的一些做法了，但好像比我们还能强一些吧
有一天也许成百上千的人会回不了家，如何抚慰那些家庭
最多三星吧，想讲的太多了！
真实事件改编，战斗场面还行，无用的叙事太久，删减半小时整体节奏会更紧凑些
我一直觉得苏俄的战争片拍得好是因为场面够宏大
毛子的主旋律片，很不错！拍得很及时！飞行员是个宝！
森林门盾一抽二，徒手气功人车飞，烟火下落刀枪决，悬空解体肉沫散……钉子户和地头蛇乱入超人类对决，有点意思。上一集腹黑这一集傻白甜，有点奇怪。韩国CG的物理引擎依旧不太行，但确实打得爽，this is some next level shit
过了5年就拍出这？因为我很喜欢第一部的动作设计和女主人设，所以这部很失望！第三部放低期待吧…
正值俄罗斯与乌克兰交战 看完这个 百感交集
大毛军宣片，另外也是真实事件，看得出想用蒙太奇手法加强叙事，但还是逃不了俄片一贯的拖沓，桥段老套，过度煽情的老毛病，SSO绑人和苏24空战的戏份还算精彩
有什么可黑的，这片要是国产，岂不是要被吹爆
哈哈，只有3分钟的立体军事打击燃，人设太雷人，男主尽然提前挂了，叙事也很随性
俄国电影就是来看大杀器的，剧情的穿插很不习惯啊，主要是为了看俄罗斯各种武器，论硬刚还得俄罗斯
我们准备好了没有……
说不公平的人是蠢吗？你美爹军事实力吊打全球，按你的逻辑，美国拍的战争片都是不公平的了？
实话实说，战斗场面不咋地，但气势和情怀着实感染了我！
他大伯级的su-24拍出了五代机没有机械美感：粗笨/精巧，冰冷/手动，庞大/恐怖 说明不用抄袭壮志凌云也会很好
真不愧为中东哈士奇，还老毛子也敢惹，怎么想的
这个俄罗斯导演绝对是个钢铁直男。战争戏好看得一批，平民戏磨磨唧唧难看得要死，不得不快进。
苏27。眼镜蛇机动都做了。。貌似司令部里的指挥车是哈弗h9。
