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)
谢霆锋当了这么多年厨师竟然还会演戏，太疯批了，太帅了，第一次在大荧幕上看谢霆锋，好帅。
多一个月都不行！
恶人从良的故事。前半段是标准的Misson情节，后半段进入了「改造」的处理。大概是想传达没有谁天生想做恶人，人人心中都有良善的种子。《动物城》的代餐。
借友邻何阿嵐的话“在港片执法部门渐渐公安化的今天，看到一部老港式警匪片”
虽然都是经典套路 但是角色都好帅好可爱 福瑞控一本满足
没想到继《疯狂动物城》我磕上兔子和狐狸的CP之后这么多年，我还能磕上狐狸和狼的CP，舞会那段儿真的绝了，我先磕为敬，您呢？
btw1. Richard的声音可太有辨识度和喜感了，没看过IT狂人的不要错过啦
有种低配版《疯狂动物城》的感觉。一个坏人变好的故事。娱乐倒是很娱乐的，正能量也是正能量的，剧情的低幼化也在意料之中。如果大灰狼是乔治·克鲁尼配音就完美了。PS：没有想到的是已经在大荧幕上播放过了，天呀我是多久没有去电影院了。 / 2022.6.23 家
经历过《疯狂动物城》会觉得剧情有点套路，譬如看似人畜无害的草食动物/啮齿类总是最终Boss之类的，打破固定印象的角色自我斗争等，有一些老生常谈（绯红爪是小狐狸打一开始就猜到，没啥惊喜感）。不过画风新颖、由音乐和跃动视觉表达的节奏格外紧凑，间谍动作元素夸张劲爽，基本不给人喘息的间隙，因此观影过程很欢快。P.S. 鲨鲨的变装等Gap笑点很棒，大灰狼简直是山姆洛克威尔本尊吧~
1.港片这么多年了还这样，暴躁警察，刑讯逼供，黑警，官匪勾结，飙车爆炸，孤胆英雄，铁血警察、柔弱妻子……剧情俗套的仿佛仿佛二十年前的流水线作品，吐槽无力。

当年如果是你去追可乐，咱们的命运会不会反过来
“做好人的感觉真是太好了。
就这？3D的意义在哪里？平平淡淡，甚至有点老掉牙，基本的剧情脉络都能猜出个一二三来。
一开始觉得很低幼，后面还是有惊喜，逻辑可以自圆。大坏狼和狐狸市长好般配，不做雌雄大盗可惜了。
807@橙天嘉禾世纪汇 Viktor 陈木胜遗作。黑帮化警队vs制度化帮队，似乎是近年香港罪案动作片一种偏好，也映照正现实。节奏紧用光妙演技棒还有好几处迷影彩蛋，就算老套又露骨大银幕也过瘾。谢霆锋定格惹人尖叫！哈哈哈哈哈哈
6.5/10 分。初看，蓝光。梦工厂出品，这么多年了，技术还是没啥进步呀，远没有皮克斯的画面精致。。。剧情看似反转，实际上还是老套路。。。唯一的亮点是舞会上的那首歌。。。
后无间道时代香港警匪片形成了一套新的范式。怒火·重案虽然表面老套，实际在这个时代反倒有种耳目一新的感觉，实属文 艺 复 兴。近期烂片横行，好莱坞的烂片都来凑热闹，怒火·重案难得良心，必看！
不得不说，人物外表形象塑造的有些粗糙，感觉像在看中国动画片。剧情也是…看开始就知道小豚鼠是大boss ，最后的蛇蛇反转还是有的，感觉动画钱都花在狐狸上了，打戏真的不错。和疯狂动物城还是有差距的
《低俗小说》式的餐厅开场《罗汉》系列的偷盗《神偷奶爸》般的转变《疯狂动物城》的主题与反转 / 怎么有的动物有了人格，有的还是宠物！？
