About

You’ll likely enjoy this dark, class-focused sci-fi action thriller aboard a never-stopping train, especially if you like Children of Men or Cloud Atlas; Not for you if you need airtight realism, short movies, or you dislike prolonged tension and dialogue-heavy storytelling.

Pros: bold social allegory; intense train setting; strong performances | Cons: some incoherent moments; long runtime; uneven believability
