A movie below expectations

I finally watched this popular "Train to Busan". Although I am not a loyal fan of zombie films, I always feel that this work is somewhat unworthy of its name. The plot relies on the dull performance of the protagonist and supporting characters at critical moments to piece together the turning points of each plot, except for the selling point of family affection.

South Korea also wants to hack the government when making zombie movies. Does this mean that the whole people hate the government? Although the psychological transformation of the male protagonist is a bit interesting, the overall story is not as good as the legend. Maybe because he has an Asian face, he is a little flattered in China. The picture and soundtrack are average, the story has many bugs, and the plot is also abused for the sake of abuse (for example, the boy does not take revenge). Sitting and waiting to be bitten to death by his girlfriend, the old lady also died very far-fetched).

The Korean movie features are adequately represented in this film, various tests of human nature, various thrilling but illogical sluggishness, bringing the audience who are easy to play into the heart-wrenching experience time and time again, but I saw a general sense of substitution, The subject matter is what I like, but the plot is not too cold for me. In the end, the redemptive jump of the male lead makes people take it for granted. This movie is a good movie that guesses from the beginning to the end. After all, it is so rare to make a disaster zombie movie in Asia. Generally speaking, the look and feel is still good, it is a cool movie.
