Hope (2026)

AKA: 호프 (Hopeu)

Is it possible for a movie to be both quick-paced and slow at the same time?
In the sleepy town of Hope Harbor, South Korea, big things are going down and two cops face off against a deadly threat. This movie is a thrill ride that both amused me and annoyed me in equal measure, which makes it hard to recommend, especially with the shameless sequel bait. It could have easily trimmed an hour from the runtime, but there are epic chase scenes in this film that are so exhilarating that I lost myself completely, which redeemed itself.

3½ inopportune times for a shit out of 5
