    A new film from Na Hong-jin, director of THE CHASER, THE YELLOW SEA and THE WAILING? And it's a MONSTER MOVIE? I need to see this RIGHT NOW.

    My favorite Na movie is still THE YELLOW SEA, his despairing action nightmare. But HOPE is such a wild swing that I’m going to watch it a million times and be intolerable about it.

    This is undoubtedly MATEWAN, an absolute stunner of a film, one that’s way more tense and emotional than expected. But some others bangers: THE YELLOW SEA, THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT, and THE NOVICE

    THE YELLOW SEA. Wow! The 1st act of Na Hong-jin's 2nd movie is a thrilling procedural but once the first action scene hits - an epic chase that puts Jason Bourne to shame - this flick does not stop! I was hooting & hollering every time the knives and axes came out! I'm even more pumped for HOPE now!

    I’m not watching any trailers for Hope but just to let you know how hyped I am, The Chaser and The Yellow Sea are two of my favorite films ever and while I don’t like The Wailing as much, I’ve been waiting for a new Na Hong-Jin film for close to 10 years.

    Overjoyed to discover that Na Hong-Jin - the director of The Chaser, The Yellow Sea and The Wailing (all terrific) has another movie due for release in 2025. Initially I thought Hope was a short, following as it does the short Faith but this stars Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander. Can’t wait.

    Watching The Yellow Sea and really struck by how much of this film is the protagonist eating single serving food from quick marts. Like a distracting amount of microwave meals

    this is cool. not the film I was expecting. feels somewhere between Fallen Angels, Kurosawa's postwar-Tokyo noir films, and Na-hong Jin's second movie The Yellow Sea. I love how smoky every room is and how rich the colors are

    James Gunn excited for Na Hong Jin's (The Chaser, The Wailing) new movie, Hope was no surprise but what was is him mentioning his other movie, The Yellow Sea. A bloody, bleak and cynical 2.5hr Korean thriller from 2010 is a hell of a choice as a favourite.

    Trailer for Na Hong-jin's new film, 'Hope'. His crime films (The Chaser, The Yellow Sea and The Wailing) are all bangers, so it's interesting to see him to a sci-fi creature feature. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt78...
