Snowpiercer (2013)
A welcome, odd little thing
3 June 2019 - 8 out of 15 users found this review helpful.
It manages to combine frenetic camera work, well choreographed action scenes a la Oldboy, and tense dialogue. Yet something feels missing.
It takes itself seriously, but always seems to be aware it is based off a comic book, never shying away from just a little hint of pulpy entertainment when suitable. The acting is brilliant, and most of the characters suitably weird to maintain that fine line between charming comic book movie and gut wrenching, soul crushing dystopia. It does what it sets out to do, and well enough.
Worth a watch, worth recommending to a very specific audience- the sort of audience that sees "korean sci-fi dystopia based off a french comic" and immediately adds it to the Netflix watch list.
