A Zombie Film with Heart

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2016)

"Train to Busan" weaves a tale--and very good one--about how much life is worth living and how we ALL take it for granted. The story starts with a father and his daughter boarding a train in Seoul destined for Busan. Little do they know their innocent trip will eventually end in a fight for their lives and everyone around them.
What I enjoyed most about "Train" was the characters were REAL. Each person played his/her part with panache; therefore, it was easy to feel for each of them. From the homeless man who boards the train with a foreshadowing message to the self-centered father, every part is just as critical as the others. To me, it would be hell on earth if this kind of outbreak happened: nowhere to run; nowhere to hide.
"Train" is rated "R" for violence, language, and disturbing images. It takes the zombie genre to a completely different level with its superb acting and photography. In Korean with subtitles, this one is recommended.
