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)
冲着谢苗去的，打戏没得说，设计是一般，但是动作干净利落，就是形象比较吃亏，参考吴越，希望能改进下戏路，走的更远。
这片里谢苗还不错，希望有更好的编剧更好的制作。
差不多从《投名状》开始，古装动作片开始走实战风格。继续发扬！
男朋友逼我跟着一起看，我看完决定和他冷战一晚，一分打给我自己，为我已经失去的一个多小时看了这么一部烂片而哀悼。
中国电影需要像谢苗这样的年轻动作演员，呃…说来他也不年轻了，感觉动作片真的后继无人了啊！谢苗演的不错，但整部电影比《辛弃疾》差远了。
本来片名是虎门销烟 后来改成血战虎门 因为这个片子 林则徐的戏份很少 都是谢苗的打戏 没啥看点
大题材，小格局。大背景，小视野。大历史，小商业。
暴走小事件推荐。 我们不可忘记历史，要与列强侵略者做斗争！
3.5。标准的网大及格线上电影，打戏精彩，剧本还需要打磨，谢苗在网大混这么久是有好处的，演技愈发成熟。
打戏够劲够爽快，结局够完美，难得看到这么舒服的电影，就凭这结局，就值得五星鼓励，难得的网大，良心片！
故事线简单进行的太快 约汉子的打斗戏给五星
把硝烟故事，硬生生拍成了一个打斗片。文戏不足，打戏太多太过。
—“华继良 天都是黑的 就凭你们 亮不起来！”
中国也拍过 巨额来电 陈学冬桂纶镁张孝全演的 比韩版好 教育意义更深刻 这部剧里那句雾霾恶心到我了
题材挺好的，不知道为啥拍的看起来没有新意也不刺激，还有点犯困。
看之前我以为是个历史剧，看完发现只是披着历史的外衣，内核是动作电影
这是值得观赏学习借鉴的电影，大家可以通过电影详细展示看到电话网络骗术如何施展。主角（前警察）的妻子被电话诈骗损失惨重，主角呈孤胆英雄之雄威，冒命悬一线之风险，打入诈骗集团之核心，一举击破活跃于东亚地区的某大型诈骗集团，帮了警察大忙，报了一己之私仇。最后被警局破格复用，专门打击电话网络诈骗犯罪分子。
这就是个穿着古装的现代缉毒警匪片，太现代了！好像走错了片场…能看出导演想好好拍，可惜功力差很多啊！着重说下谢苗！形象够用！身手够用！可以说是个不可多得的人才！但是机遇没到，演技差很多！需要碰个大导演好好雕琢雕琢，不然白瞎了！继续这么整肯定是行不通的！真的！
开篇节奏不错，对被骗的受害者能产生点共情，后面情节就脱线了。
最近谢苗是铁了心努力拍网大，质量不行数量凑，总会碰到个不错的剧本，结果还真被他遇见了，可喜可贺
