The movie review for "Hopeless" at the Cannes Film Festival portrays the
disappointment felt by fans and cinephiles,
suggesting that the film should have remained a draft. The story follows
Yeon-gyu, played by Hong Sa-bin, a young man trapped in a hopeless neighborhood,
longing to escape with his mother.
When he encounters the enigmatic gangster Chi-geon, portrayed by Song
Joong-ki, his life takes a turn. The review praises the technical aspects of the
film, including its realistic gore, somber music, and well-choreographed action
scenes.
However, it criticizes the lack of character development for anyone besides
the main lead and the aimless direction the story takes in the latter half.
Ultimately, the review suggests that the film fails to deliver on its promising
premise, leaving viewers feeling hopeless. |
