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)
对欧美人脸盲，搞这么多人物，我都不认识谁是谁；说是动作片，却整这么多台词，废话多的不得了。电影整体相当一般，要不是喜欢连姆尼森老爷子，三星都不会给。
7分，比尼森叔前几部片子好一点，至少不是让尼森不停的去打打杀杀了，加入了失忆的元素在里面，配合他的年纪，剧情合理了一些。片子算是一个杀手救赎的故事，反派那一坨整的乱七八糟，结局自然是法律依然惩罚不了有权有势的人，但一个正义的普通人可以！
莫姨老成了鬼样子。。。连叔心有余而力不足。。。结果就是要剧情没剧情，要动作没动作，要阴谋没阴谋的三无产品。。。
虽然谍战感很浓，最后的转折也是很厉害，但其他方面真的一言难尽。
开始看的时候觉得是退休人员内卷，看到最后感悟，年龄从不是做什么不做什么的理由，人会老，心不会！
喜欢末日废土的色彩，看了一个简单的寓言故事。
行至朝雾里，坠入暮云间，与星辉一同为你沉迷。
这个主演叫连姆尼森，北爱尔兰人，比较熟悉的面孔。饰演的杀手因年纪渐大慢慢患上失忆症……在执行一个杀人任务时，发现对象竟然是未成年人，因此与警方联手倒戈一击……
谁回去雇一个有良心的杀手？然后他还得了老年痴呆……
有个好剧本，有个好题材，但是拍的太差了，这么老旧的拍摄手法，怕是90年代可以获得高口碑，但是现在真的不行了，算是后半部分强行拉回来了一点吧，但是真的砸的很可惜
虽然片名叫「记忆」，但看完估计不会留下任何记忆。
和《英伦对决》类型差不多，故事也差不多，设定也差不多。
3.5分，⭐⭐⭐导演牛，演员牛，就是剧情差点儿。这个杀手不太冷+“失忆”+墨西哥🇲🇽。动作戏真好看+黑法律制裁。PS：莫妮卡·贝鲁奇对不起＞人＜
比我想象中的好看多了，结尾是情理之中，又是意料之外。我给7分。
剧情：坏人都得死。大叔这么大岁数了还要演这种批量式电影，但是还是可以看下去的
看利亚姆的片单，居然都排到2025年去了！
连姆森尼从老硬汉变成老残汉了，动作影星难避免衰老明显的事实。不是很明白本片连姆死掉有什么意义
5.0分。一部完全立意先行的电影，看似有悲凉高深的主题，看似是双线叙事非常牛逼，实则从故事到人物，从动作到表演没有一个能立得起来。由于成本所限只能通篇文戏，大量不明所以对故事推进效果甚微的文戏，剩下的就是搞笑的逻辑。马丁·坎贝尔，连姆·尼森，盖·皮尔斯，莫妮卡·贝鲁奇，别再堕落了，也别再拿着磕药的演技演这种剧本了。
80岁的坎贝尔姥爷、70岁的连姆叔叔、快60岁的贝鲁奇老姐姐、55岁的盖皮尔斯大叔，真的就是部老爷车一般的动作片，双线叙事结构避免影片出现直接崩盘尴尬，但糟糕的剧情走向就像几位主创拍不动了一样，不禁使人发问廉颇老矣尚能饭否啊电影人，草率收尾的结局更让人暗想若时光倒流十载这该是部好看的电影吧。
“Men like us don’t retire ”70岁了，连姆尼森还没退休。应该秉持传统，把中文名翻译为记忆营救。实际上全片都没怎么呼应老年痴呆这条线，远不如盖皮尔斯年轻时演的记忆碎片。名字像是印度裔的女警探简直就是印度杨恭如。
