Snowpiercer

Very awesome sci-fi thriller.  This is written and directed by an awesome Korean director, Bong Joon-ho.  It's his first English film.  It has Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, Ed Harris and few other known actors.  I enjoyed the story.  All takes place in a futuristic world where most humans are extinct because of a failed climate change experiment.  The only survivors are all in this advanced train that goes around the world.  But, there is more to that.  This train is so long and it is divided by different class of people.  The poor unfortunate souls are in the tail end of the train and they are practically slaves to the rest of the people on board.  Chris Evan's character leads a revolution.  The mission is to get to the front of the train and take over.  Lots of twists and turns and some awesome action sequences.  This is freaking great.  Hell, if this was a 2014 movie, it be a contender for my personal top 10.  Damn my ocd film guidelines!  Damn you to hell.
It's official!  Bong Joon-ho is now in my director's shelf.  I've enjoyed all his films.  My most favorite to least favorite:  The Host, Memories of Murder, Snowpiercer, Mother, and Barking Dogs Never Bite.
