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)

男主夫妻是国情局特工，男主和好友同事发现局内有人参与贩卖一种新型强力毒品，然后依次都被上司抓住了，实际上司和整个部门都参与了贩毒，想要伪造男主夫妇及好友互杀死亡假象，男主被注射过量毒品后，毒品导致灵魂出窍，利用一个贩毒同事的身体救了妻子和好友，然后撞车了，之后男主灵魂在当时注射毒品事发现场的几个参与者之间穿梭，每12小时换一个人，而且男主失忆了，男主利用这些人的身体开始查明真相，最后救了老婆。作为有奇幻元素的动作片，这个故事创意虽然离谱，但我挺喜欢的，剧情构造有一定想法也挺有意思，可惜的两种元素都没发挥好，既不够刺激也不够精彩，整体质量只能说还行吧。我给3星6.7分！
既然设定是会变身，煞笔导演为啥还用一个演员来演，变了个毛线啊，不是精分吗！！
不无聊，但是也没啥出彩的地方，普普通通，规规矩矩，看过就算了
选角还是棒棒哒，但对着我的小屏幕大大削减张力。可能看现场舞台剧会好一些
挺紧张刺激的，就扯了点，反派也突然神经质造反，一直以为男主是河正宇
题材真的很棒，但是男主真的是不太聪明的样子，他的职业与他的脑子和身手不太匹配。男主好友死的好惨，男主属于间接害死好友吧，愚忠不动脑的原因。女主演技还可以，但是让人很出戏，感觉很违和，尤其是一直理安xi，理安xi的，真的太违和了。
人生的梦想，有无数方向，不一定非要伴随，别人的期望。可以是个医生，也可以是个舞娘，身着艳丽的服装，在舞台上闪耀光芒。身边的同学，老师和父母，他们或支持，或沮丧，然而自己的梦想不需要别人批准，只要有爱你的人的帮忙，你就可以展翅飞翔。做自己的思想，是最珍贵的酒酿，因为闪耀在内心的快乐，会让你光芒万丈。
一个主角很出戏，故事可以设定的更巧妙一点。
舞台剧改编成电影在叙事上情节上节奏上都要调整，比较一般
主演演技一般唱功一般。这个dean看起来一点都不mean，太蠢笨了… anyways，最好的一版是OLC。
废了不少心思在呈现和创意上，但是这个故事真的过于单薄了
还挺好看的，一直被悬疑勾引着，动作也越来越畅快。这么复杂的故事讲的还算清楚。
故事有点新意，一波接一波，灵魂出窍换身体，就是演员稍微差点意思，按这个节奏其实可以搞个续集。
一开始会有点迷糊，后来看进去了就觉得还挺有创意
没看进去--好歹也看过百分之70的韩国这种类型的电影。。。这部真的不咋地
动作戏还可以，多加一星，就是打的时间太短了，不过瘾，剧情一言难尽，太混乱了
根据同名音乐剧改编的，还是真实故事：16岁杰米想去做一名变装皇后；电影挺欢乐的，里面有一段关于英国八九十年代变装皇后历史的，就很酷儿新浪潮的感觉；但是电影有点少了音乐剧的叛逆和妖的特质，有点没张开的感觉。另，有的男孩真的是好看/美丽，所以杰米最后穿的白裙子，是真好看。
一般般 里面镜头有被转换身体的人但没后续？？一点疑问都没有？
缉毒高层烂透，新一打两针可以轮番出窍，反正命多一挑众很过瘾，最后还有美人等你醒。
