This Is Not How You Start a Trilogy: “Hope” Gets a Nope From Me
Despite it being one of the most visually impressive action movies I’ve ever seen, everything else fell short of my expectations.

Jeong-hyeok happens to meet In-joo, a former karaoke helper, in his neighborhood while being bored with his married life with Eun-hye. In-joo sees Jeong-hyeok's affair and takes advantage of it and asks him for money, but Jeong-hyeok seduces her to swapping because he will give her more money. In-joo, who needed travel funds with her lover Woo-seong, allows swapping and begins to swap. Embarrassed by his lover's and husband's swapping proposal, Woo-seong and Eun-hye are forced to share the swapping. Then Woo-seong and Eun-hye are attracted to each other, and they meet secretly.

A commentary on the exploitation of the elderly fueld by the inherent greed of capitalism.
Although bogged down by a slow pace and moralistic intent, ‘Deadly Garage Sale’ (2022) makes the most of its silly and nonsensical premise.
As noted in the headline, I didn’t like this movie. Not to say it’s the worst thing ever, but it’s just…meh. Nothing much to it. Very generic. No surprises. At the very least, the cast is diverse so I’ll give it that.
This is not a film, it’s a drop tower. A drop tower that you don’t get off of for the vast majority of its 106-minute runtime.
