"Snowpiercer:" one of the best, most disturbing films in years---- but with a high popcorn value, too.

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Armageddon has occurred, but a number of people survive and got onto an "ark-like" train that endlessly is propelled around a long track and commanded by a mysterious figure. The passengers, finally, decide to revolt because of their mistreatment at the hands of the train police and the lack of hope their dreary existence provides.
This decidedly is not a Hollywood-style disaster film. Just as director Bong Joon-ho turned the monster genre on its head with, "The Host," so does he here.
I really would be doing a disfavor to discuss much of the film because it is one revelation after another. Part of the fun, if indeed any of this can so be described, is seeing the surprising number of well-known actors that Bong assembled and then gave, obviously, lots of creative freedom. More than a few of these characters will enter into film-goers' favorites.
Entertaining, cerebral… this film ices the competition.

Agree that Song was under-used; he would have been a better choice for the lead. But, I had no - tinear 09:30:07 07/16/14 (0)
