Hope was wild. I went from lounging to sitting straight forward hands on knees. the movie asks a lot of great questions and also asks you to accept some truly heinous CGI and you know what? I accept
Hope (2026): “Protect the country from infiltration” a sign reads & the thematic tension of that ominous portent delivers the goods. Great sight gags like everyone in a small South Korean harbor town being armed to the teeth. If the effects deter you, you have weak constitution
HOPE is a grenade launcher of a movie.
One of the funniest movies of the year with some of the best camera work with cars and horses you'll ever see.
HEAT level gun sounds!
Ignore the CGI hate because it goes so hard you won't give a flying shit after 10 seconds.
HOPE is so good at delivering straight-ahead spectacle it's easy to miss or take for granted how it complicates the premise as it expands in scale to the point of obliteration. The movie isn't about the war itself but this reversal
One of my favorite things about HOPE is that all those action movie fundamentals are in support of a story that has this political context roiling under the surface at all times, both the division of north and south from the perspective of a town near the border…
I can’t stop thinking about HOPE, the weirdest blockbuster movie I’ve seen in a long time. It has no character arcs, no “acts,” is super funny, and is a Mad Max-like nonstop thrill ride involving horses and Hoyeon in a little police car shooting big guns
