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)
人物情感铺垫少,因此显得有些感情升温得很突兀。丧尸只作为背景出现在新闻里,略微有些不过瘾。
期待Netflix接下来能制作出更多《活死人军团》的续集和外传。
What kind of asshole left his just kissed girlfriend to police and took a boat running away by himself! Bad ending.
就是一个比较无聊的爽片,杀杀时间,属于那种看完就忘记的影片

考虑到这是小哥自己导的,也就不要太多期待了。
三星半吧,解锁环节的节奏还挺不错的,多的也就没有了,反而有点想看正传了
非人气电影中的非人气角色竟然也能拍独立电影?人物对话实在是太多,开保险箱也假的很。
作为商业动作爽片还是可以的,全程都想往下看,尤其是男主开锁的那种感觉,享受啊,当然浮夸哈
一前一后的打戏我非常满意,这个可以做成系列电影啊~
人家用一生打造的锁子 你一个油管博主三下五除二就破解了??

三颗星最多了。题材挺好的,前面太啰嗦,与主线没关系的话太浪费时间了。主角塑造缺点什么,比如家庭背景,与为何迷恋开锁。男女主之恋,可有可无。尴尬啊。
中规中矩吧,德国小哥做演员可以,做导演还是弱了些。作为偷盗的类型片,过程不够炫酷。另外,这片只能算是扎导“僵尸宇宙”里主角团的个人秀,和正片没什么关系,算不上正式的前传。
开锁破解的过程略微“顺利”,更多的惊险是来自开锁破解以外的。故事一开头一个初试牛刀的人就直接拿了一个莫名其妙的地下开锁比赛的冠军,从无名到大神也有点太跳跃了,可以铺垫更多一点点。然后最后也要照顾一下那么义气的黑客女同伙,不要用完这个角色就立刻不理不问。
最复杂的密码锁,安安静静转一转,都能打开?你确定?
类似题材已经算不上新鲜了,但茶余饭后看看还是不错的。男主内心世界的僵尸演绎有点意思,可能囿于喜剧幽默基调,没有太深刻地叙述。否则说不定可以拍个真正的惊悚片。
导演即主演,野心显而易见。可惜作为基石的前作撑不起一个系列的构想。
作为扎克·施奈德导演《活死人军团》前传的《神偷军团》,马提亚斯·施维赫夫自导自演迪特尔的故事,无论是情节设计,还是影片的节奏感马提亚斯·施维赫夫都把控的很不错。
这个电影唯一的优点就是比活死人军团能看一点,也就仅仅是一点,和活死人军团相比不变的是剧本依旧是像是ai自动文章生成器写出来的一样弱智,人物对话还是蠢到不行,两部作品都是纯浪费人时间的烂片,活死人这个IP还是赶紧毁灭吧
