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)
不因主演的话，我是不会看这部电影的，感觉奈飞的好剧/电影不多。
#TIFF21 第28场 老吉飙演技吸睛，但无奈这种没新意的翻拍真的很无趣...
我说分这么低呢，原来又是翻拍，由于没看过原片只看过这部，我还是觉得挺好看的。
很美式的翻拍，好的部分还原作的形式感和剧情，却少了原作克制的质感带来的感染力，仿佛一道素三丝的功夫菜给整成海鲜麻辣烫了，添加的警察暴力议题也比较游离，不太成功。
嗯……用一个突如其来的救赎换取另一个救赎……
这是秀杰克的演技啊。其实the guilty说是负罪感更贴切。
其实每个人可能都会和男主人公一样在人生逆境的某些时刻陷入黑暗暴力，因为感情因为家庭因为童年阴影等等错综复杂的因素，虐杀小动物，（借执法者身份）开枪击毙看不顺眼的少年……等等，最终男主在一次电话营救过程中找寻到了自己，选择不再逃避，面对自己的错并承受代价。不得不说吉伦哈尔演技真好，把一个独角戏演的有声有色，有人说是奈飞翻拍原版更好，我先不做评价因为没看过原版。但最后马桶旁给搭档电话那段儿真的非常真实入戏。把人物内心的斗争演绎得淋漓尽致。是的选择直面自己承担前途尽毁的人生，哪儿那么从容？
翻拍丹麦同名电影，和《接线员》等悬疑犯罪异曲同工，同类型美剧代入感最强
别人基本没有出镜啊，只有他一个人，半夜三更在911呼叫中心接电话，以为一个女人被绑架了，却是一个丈夫在制服一个精神病妻子，还有两个可怜的孩子，小的儿子被妈妈"从肚子里取出了蛇"，而大一点的女儿在打911，事实的反转也逆转了他自己：he was wrong, broken people save broken people, 最后，那个崩溃的他知晓那崩溃的一家子还有希望时，内心应该是释然的，还有那放纵的哭，终于不打算撒谎了，放弃了那个所谓的plan，或许他也承认自己deserve it！
报警的时候一句话说清地点人物事件，太重要了。

一個半調子的PTSD警察遇到心理有問題的娘們，扮演上帝還不明情況瞎指揮的鳥事。心理有問題真的就別上班了真的！

心情不穩的人不適合看，主角比你更情緒不穩，看了非常煩躁。成事不足敗事有餘，根本不適合幫助人，誰認識他誰倒楣
6.0，剧本单薄，就看杰克•吉伦哈尔表演了，确实演得好，2014年他那部《夜行者》（nightcrawler）太可怕了，搞得我很多年都不愿意看他的片子，没有道德观念的人太可怕了，所以，真正的理中客应该是不存在的吧？
臺譯 I《接線追緝》
除了想不明白这件事跟男主认罪有啥关系 其他都很不错
仿佛看了一部有声读物，台词功力还是不错，不过剧情上怎么说呢...结局圆满吧
3-…看过原版的可以不看这部了，看翻拍远没有偶遇原版时那种小成本大震撼的感觉，而且也没有翻出新意来，增加的只是一些属于米国的杂乱感
cold sweat at 5:30 in the morning. broken ppl save broken ppl.
