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)
蛮轻松很温馨的影片 一个叫杰瑞的老人退休 无意中发现了彩票的漏洞 利用漏洞让小镇所有居民富起来的故事 （搬彩票那段给人一种绝命毒师里老白把钱藏起来的错觉 异曲同工之妙）
学好数理化，走遍天下都不怕。
没有记得住/被打动的剧情，没有大米的黄金粒，完全符合标准的起承转合，不过我也在思考，会不会是我个人的偏好导致的这种观感，很明显我不是很喜欢这类剧情的电影，爆米花娱乐电影。
每隔一段时间 ，我就需要看一部这样没有好人受伤的爽片
轻松娱乐小品，我的邻居带我实现财富自由，居然是真事改编的。不工作就感觉没意思实在无法relate。
老白和chuck同时出现，叫古德曼情何以堪。 片中彩蛋“你俩该不会是大毒枭吧”
独富富不如众富富 致敬 男女主互相扶持理解的感情令人神往
这片子最有意思的就是，当初开除杰瑞的那个经理竟然是个亚裔，我很想确认一下倒是是不是。
All about human being. 时刻记得人情的重要，钱💰真的是身外物，时常记得爸爸的话。
温情满满、结构工整的老式派拉蒙电影。如果有一天我也中了大奖，我也要像杰瑞和玛姬一样振兴赵各庄！
大学生的那条线太假了，其他的都还好，轻喜剧设定，可看。
瑕不掩瑜，四星半+，电影根本不严肃，明显奔着欢乐去的，我被逗乐了，他够好。剩下半星是毒师和律师粉的偏心
我直呼好家伙，为我以前说学数学没用而道歉。居然还是真实事件改编，真希望有人能联系他们家两口子，看看能不能再出个剧集，我不相信这么精明的大叔一辈子只发生过这一件精彩的事。9分9分！差一分是我不满足结尾胜利之后大家欲望的削弱。名流大学的也不缺低贱般自私自傲的人。
“你有一种大胆与羞涩的美妙融合，我被深深吸引。”
美国人还是很喜欢happy ending，很正能量那种
4分
爱上一个人后一切都慢了下来。喜欢这个结局！ 21.12.16
太难看了，剧情无聊到令人发指，三个配角没有一丝人物魅力，主角也是老一套
影片通過一件又一件事情說明了，傑瑞與瑪姬玩彩票的目的或許真的不是為了錢，或者說，金錢在這件事中絕不佔很大比例，他們更多是把這件事當作一次價值實現，一場人生冒險。
【C+】本片就像是金碧辉煌的厕所——漂亮但是不能细看、大气但是不能深入、可以但是没有必要。
