I think my most favourite of this is the technicality because it showed how high the stakes are. I mean it was already like that but that aspect of the film made me feel invested and thinking how they will pull this off.

It was two hours long which I thought was too long but it as actually a good length. I really like how they just got into it. My favourite character, alongside the main, has got to be the General Commander - I think he pulled off being calm, focused and highly principled so well. I'm quite surprised he's listed as a supporting role. I think his role made such a big impact on how invested I got. His character was so impressive.

I think the only thing that I didn't feel convinced about was regarding the suspect. I don't know, just the way it was revealed and the motivations I guess made it feel far fetched? Plus the enormity of how it was done and who's done it just didn't feel believable.

Overall, I'm really glad I watched it. I think the main role, Takaichi, really rounded off the feel of the film with his good natured character. He was dependable and in charge which made you trust him and felt like everything's going to be okay even with the seemingly impossible situation.

Plus the scale of the production was amazing. The director/writer/team behind this are so so impressive. I also really liked Chika, the train driver. I think she was quietly holding everything together and wasn't thanked properly by the passengers when she was introduced 🙈
