WONDERFUL! Just SUPERB!! Everyone is a Hero here.
In One Word, WONDERFUL !👌🏻
In Two Words, JUST SUPER !!✨
In Numerals, 9 / 10 (My RATING )
This is One of the few Disaster/Hijacking thrillers that I rated 9/10.
***
Disaster/ Survival/ Hijacking thrillers are always a Mix of Intense Nail-biting Suspense, Edge of the Seat Action, Adrenaline Rush Vibe, Racing against Time, Emotional n thoroughly keeps U Engaged!!
***
Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography, Production, Acting, Locations (the scenic beauty of the country in aerial shots is amazing), CGI / Visuals, Everything about this movie is SUPERB.
Aerial shots of the high speed train dashing on the rails are MESMERIZING!
Though the Plot is the usual Bomb threat n ransom demanding /routine Hijacking in moving Train setting, it's VERY GRIPPING to watch.
Pacing, story telling n story progression are GOOD.
No Moment of boredom throughout the movie.
All the Rescue Plans n the Risks that come with them, the Chaos of the Passengers, the Stress of the Officials (including the Train Conductor n Train Pilot), Political Pressures, the Train working systems n issues especially for those of high speeds, EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFULLY CAPTURED.
Even the Story of the bomber(s) is right to the plot (one is in an unfortunate situation n the other is revenge seeking)
The Twist related to the bomber is Good (the most unexpected one but I guessed it🤭, maybe I watched too many thrillers)
The power of the Internet in modern age, to spread the news in social networks or the fund raising is also captured here.
In the end, the public donating the huge impossible ransom amount is heartwarming.
***
Finally, Everyone who worked hard to Save the Day, is a Hero here !!
LOVED CHARACTERS of
ML (Train Conductor)
He himself remained composed, helped to maintain peace in this stressful high-stakes situation n calmed down not only the chaotic passengers but also his colleagues.
Truly dedicated to save everyone under his care.
Actor Kusanagi Tsuyoshi is handsome n looks like an older version of handsome Keita Machida 💕
Railway Commander (or whatever the designation is)
His Rescue plans are risky but he did everything possible, taking every bold step, running against time.
BTW this actor Saitoh Takumi is handsome
Ono Machiko's politician character.
She is so cool n funny here.
That contrast of her role from that of JDrama "Light of My Lion" is good.
Lady Train Pilot (her dedication is good)
***
Special Mentions:
That YouTuber guy is selfish, using every situation in his favour but funny, he got stuck with the other 8 members
Young actress Hana from JDrama "Minato's laundromat", liked her alot there, here hmm it's sad. She acted well.
***
As mentioned, it's a remake/sequel of the 1975's movie.
Even if U didn't watch the original movie (like me), U'll not miss out anything important.
All the references n visuals of the original, whatever required to this story, are shown here.
***
In the end, after the success of the rescue operation, when ML is looking at everyone, standing all alone, I just wanted to hug him n appreciate him😂
Another hyper excited reaction of mine🤦🏻♀️
BTW, my comments n review here in this page are lil hyper as though am promoting this show, so U can understand the excitement created in 2 hours 15 mins (movie run time)

NOW, FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELTS n ENJOY THIS THRILLING TRAIN RIDE! 😏
