It was calm at first, even dull. It may be that I don't like the uninhabited environment, coupled with the cold weather, and the whole film is darker and colder. I got on the train, thinking that the exciting and exciting plot was about to unfold, but it was still going on very smoothly. The protagonist meets, eats, and chats with strangers. Later the heroine's husband disappeared. I thought he was dead, and the plot of inference and detection was about to unfold. Who knows he just missed the train. So get off the train, wait for someone, meet, and return to the train. I really believe that Ben Kingsley is a good guy. I always think that there will be a story, that the Spaniard is not dead, and will come back to find the heroine for revenge, leading to the climax of the film. Because it has always been suspected that the drug dealers in the Western spot are the important role that caused the suspense. It wasn't until Ben Kingsley revealed his villainous qualities that he was indeed a small character. It was his end that he was killed by the heroine before he appeared. In fact, the latter can be regarded as wonderful. The heroine tried to throw away the drugs several times without success; she and her husband were replaced by bad guys in a strange place, forcing her to tell where the Spaniards are, and when she thought they could Escaped by train; later he was saved by the army. In the second half, the atmosphere was obviously tense, the rhythm accelerated, the suspense increased, and the heart was finally lifted. Although the suspense was not deep enough, it seemed to remind us not to talk to strangers in the end. But it also attracted me.
Although I don't know how to classify it, I even feel that there are some comical effects and ingredients in it. But I still recommend it, it should be worth seeing.
PS: There are some Chinese scenes in the film, but they are not in line with the reality of China. The backwardness and poverty of China seems to be the Chinese society of the time of the former Soviet Union. I wonder if the director and screenwriter do not understand modern China, or is it just an episode in the film that creates a comedic effect?
