\n

\n\tFor a decade, since 2016\u2019s extraordinarily uncanny horror-hybrid \u201cThe Wailing,\u201d fans of Korean director Na Hong-jin<\/a> have been peering anxiously at the horizon awaiting his next uncategorizable genre mash-up. More recently, like a bumbling local police chief removing his mirrored aviators to squint at an unidentifiable what-the-hell-is-that <\/em>wreaking havoc in the distance, we\u2019ve tracked reports of his new project, which despite a high-profile international cast and the largest budget in Korean film history, remained until the last second shrouded in secrecy. Now that \u201cHope<\/a>\u201d is here \u2014 hilarious, unwieldy, overlong and featuring some of the most breathtakingly elegant action moviemaking of this or any year \u2014 one has to ask if anything could possibly have lived up to the anticipation.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s a question that seems mischievously on writer-director Na\u2019s mind, as for a good portion of the outstandingly berserk first hour, it seems possible we will never actually see the creature causing the gloriously choreographed mayhem that is bedeviling the small town of Hope Harbor, South Korea. This shabby hamlet is close enough to its northern neighbor\/nemesis that weathered billboards warn against landmines and urge residents to \u201cReport Spies!\u201d and \u201cGuard Against Infiltrators!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIt is maybe the late \u201980s \u2014 in any case, pre-cellphones \u2014 and Bum-seok (an irreplaceable Hwang Jung-min<\/a>, reuniting with Na after \u201cThe Wailing\u201d), the chief of police in this one-horse town, has been called out to a vast flat field on its outskirts to investigate the gorily mysterious mutilation of a large cow. Its carcass has been discovered by a group of hunters led by Sung-ki (Zo In-Sung), who is Bum-seok\u2019s second cousin. Here, everybody knows or is related to everyone else, as will be proven in just a few minutes when Bum-seok will be pegging it down the devastated streets and alleyways of Hope Harbor, namechecking every second bloodied corpse he passes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tFor the moment, however, he is pontificating over the dead cow, and having his chain yanked by the hunters who suggest the culprit is a tiger who comes down from the North every once in a while to feed. They opt to take to the forest to track the creature, but as soon as Bum-seok heads back into town it becomes apparent that the area has been infiltrated by something much worse than a defecting North Korean big cat, something capable of charging through brick walls and flinging entire cars at retreating locals.<\/p>\n

\n\tWorse still: the gang of hunters are out of reach, and there is no backup to be had, with all extra manpower off fighting wildfires \u2014 that is, until Officer Sung-ae (\u201cSquid Game\u201d star Hoyeon<\/a>, making a fantastic big-screen debut) shows up to the rescue in her squad car. Rather than being scared, Sung-ae is pissed: \u201cIt\u2019s killed so many people,\u201d she bellows, executing a perfect handbrake turn, \u201cMonster or not, it\u2019s just not right<\/em>!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s hard to overstate just how wildly entertaining this first hour is: a kind of riff on, of all things, Ron Underwood\u2019s cult classic \u201cTremors,\u201d only scaled up in expanse as well as expense, with genius cinematographer Hong Kyung-pyo (\u201cParasite,\u201d \u201cBurning,\u201d \u201cThe Wailing\u201d) wielding his gliding camera with such insolent grace that it seems like serenely sarcastic commentary on the chaos and carnage of Lee Hwokyoung\u2019s production design.<\/p>\n

\n\tThere are team-ups and fuck-ups and every character is, well, a character. Bum-seok encounters a grizzled elder holed up under a bridge and goes on a brief monster-hunt foray with him, which ends when the pair open fire on the critter through a closed door, only to discover it was actually the local butcher making a phone call. The ill-fated meat-slinger murmurs into the receiver, \u201cHoney, I\u2019ll call you back,\u201d before glancing down at his likely mortal shotgun wounds and crumpling to the floor. Bum-seok must then navigate the practicalities of getting a small old man to heft a large, leaking, perforated butcher to the hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s an endless pleasure to see such exceptional, careful, considered filmmaking applied to such a gleefully generic set-up. Even when some of the tricks become apparent, each new repetition somehow delivers more than the last.\u00a0For sheer high-octane, bloodrush delight, for example, there is very little that can beat the effect when a speeding car pulls a U-turn and the skidding, breakneck camera swings around to look at it recede, as though such careening momentum has been attained that the camera itself needs basically a runway\u2019s length in order to change course. And then, just when everything is going so great \u2014 for us, if not for the mostly dead characters \u2014 galloping along like a bisected hunter on a runaway horse, we finally see the creature (this one played in motion capture by Cameron Britton).<\/p>\n

\n\tPerhaps it was always going to be a disappointment. But the weightless, old-school videogame aesthetic of the alien monster design sticks out even further amid the stylishness of the world captured in-camera. And those problems are magnified in the slack middle section of this 160-minute film, as the hunters make discoveries of their own in the forest, unnecessary subplots and aliens multiply, and there are some halfhearted attempts at giving them a thin backstory. Nothing in their mythology is as amusing as one Hope Harbor old-timer\u2019s minutely scatological explanation for what he was doing when he first witnessed them in the woods (clue: it\u2019s also what bears do in a popular idiom, and was the result of some iffy spicy pork the night before). And nothing is as interesting within the alien-invader narrative as the fact that they are played by the film\u2019s biggest international stars.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHope\u201d is almost heroic in its lack of thematic weight or political\/philosophical subtext. But that also makes it sit awkwardly in the Cannes competition, where any of Na\u2019s more layered other films might have been a more likely fit. (\u201cThe Chaser,\u201d \u201cThe Yellow Sea\u201d and \u201cThe Wailing\u201d all played in other sections.) But if you want to risk pulling a muscle you can reach to read the casting of Michael Fassbender<\/a>, Alicia Vikander<\/a> and Taylor Russell<\/a> as the heavily CG-disguised, rather po-faced alien clan, as a sly inversion of the traditional othering of Asian actors in Hollywood\u2019s own blockbusters. <\/p>\n

\n\tBut yeah, that\u2019s a stretch. And by the time the last third of the film regains its breakneck, bananas tempo, culminating in an all-timer of a highway chase where everything is flung up there on the screen \u2014 except an anti-tank rocket that, flouting the laws of Chekhov\u2019s Bazooka, is glimpsed but never used \u2014 you will have learnt to mostly ignore the janky VFX anyway. Best to sit back and enjoy the human drama, human stunts (perhaps this is an early contender for the first ever Best Stunt Design Oscar?) and unflagging human comedy of this alien-encounter movie. Because the oddball denizens of Hope Harbor may be slower, weaker, dumber and ultimately less noble than their potential extra-terrestrial overlords, but they sure are a hell of a lot more fun.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
