An engaging and suspensful zombie thriller

Rating: 8/10 (9 June 2019)

Train to Busan is hard to put a pin in. Half of the time it plays like one of the most developed and enthralling zombie films to date, but the other half it plays like a B movie. Act I is rock solid through and through. The rules of the virus and the world it is in were laid on the line clear as day, following a respectable amount of time spent developing our main characters. The rest of the film is plagued by inconsistency with how the virus and the characters behave, which ultimately cripples the film. Even with this hindrance, Train to Busan is not an action film to miss.
