The movie kept my stakes high. The plot, the cinematography, the thrill, the action everything felt very optimized. It felt extremely realistic, which in movies like these, are hard to achieve.

There was no unnecessary drama in between. The emotions felt perfectly right. I love the fact that even though there were main roles in the movie they blended so well with the side characters it never felt like the movie revolved around them. Which again made it extremely realistic. I love how they didn't make only one person become the "hero" of the movie, sacrificing themselves while saving other. They all tried their best, whether it was the crew operators at the train, the officers working in the headquarters, the crime department, rail engineers, even the politicians. All the people who worked in the rescue team did a fabulous job at portraying the Calamity, the hidden stress and the emotional devastation. It was truly mesmerizing as a viewer how they managed to capture everything so to the point.

I loved how they give so much attention to portraying the actual rescue operation instead of unnecessary drama so at the end when a little dramatic scene came up it perfectly mingled with the rest of the events. Over all it was thrill ride for me. If I ever go to Japan and get on a bullet train I might rewatch this movie just for the thirll.
