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)
对警匪片没啥兴趣，而且除了打斗部分，其他的节奏有点慢，和我姐一起看的，看的时候全程就是：小崔好帅，小崔看起来好惨啊被打的，小崔不会要死吧，出血了，小崔腿好长。。总结一下《为了崔宇植的2小时》
没有女主的硬菜啊。
非常美国。。今年在美国体验了很local的生活。真的就是酒吧，买车，各种人之间复杂的关系，感情。如果主角是女的而且没去到yale，我感觉很像我的生活了。。😂
剧情一般，但是演技不错。韩国这系列正常水准。
真的是很温柔的酒吧啊，没有人能拒绝温柔大本舅舅！
男人視角講述的男人故事，但沒什麼不適感，還不錯。
小盆友非常非常可爱ớ ₃ờ 大大眼睛 湿漉漉 像小鹿斑比一般 聪明敏感 长大的JR 理智对爱情怀有憧憬。。。。
游走于灰色地带的警察组织小说，像漫画一样夸张失真，无聊又鸡血，贩卖些廉价变味的所谓“正义感”，关键是拉拉杂杂两个小时的片长，居然连一件完整的事情都没表述清楚。韩国这个“广域搜查队”就是美国的FBI吧？
还行吧 比较娱乐商业化 日本版的孤狼之血才悲壮 没有一个好下场 韩国的就是部娱乐片儿
看完感叹导演剪辑讲故事的能力真的很重要。
男主和舅舅之间、还有姥爷之间都很温馨，一家子人吵吵闹闹互相嫌弃但心是在一起的。就是男主上大学后面比较无聊😅😅😅
就像大多数人不会去咖啡店买一瓶矿泉水。
给本本加一星。看预告时候就觉得可能两条线哪条都讲不好，正片果然也是没讲好，写回忆录能意识流，想到哪儿写哪儿，电影剧本不能这么写啊，太散了整个故事。
作为单亲家庭，挺能共情的，主角比我幸运，有一个神级舅舅。不过话说回来，就算不是单亲，谁又不想要一个开着间叫“狄更斯”酒吧的舅舅呢？当然了，后面的一些剧情真的太过一般，被一个女人耍的团团转，还宣扬了一番过时的美国梦。至少前半段真的很棒。
男主看似父爱的缺失，但其实他得到了最好的“父爱”！如果真的跟着亲生父亲生活，可能人生就是另一个结局了！父母对一个孩子的影响太重要了，母亲搬回娘家居住看似无奈，实则是最好的选择！！！
结局有点小儿科，总体节奏有点问题，打斗戏一般。演员演的都不错。
很美式的故事，更喜欢童年部分。有点儿像是舅舅版《完美的世界》。
3.5/5，很老一辈美式的精神内核，其实片子本身没有什么特别的地方，但是对离家去闯荡的鼓励，以及在舅舅身上找到父爱这些元素还是带来了实际的温情。大本非常惊人的给这片子加分很多，感觉他的电影道路终于要回归正轨了。然后这个结局太儿戏了，我没反应过来呢，结果看得挺开心的一下子观感就掉了。
对于家庭心理和阶层问题都停留在表面，剧本比白开水还淡，除了克鲁尼以外完成的都挺不错，请克鲁尼不要想象自己能转型成一代导演了。。。
