The first trailer for this film is an examination of what makes a good film advertisement: it's funny, exciting and doesn't reveal too much. In short, it gets you hooked.
The plot is complex, but not convoluted. No, it is positively intelligible. I loved the way it was slowly resolved. The premise itself, while not original, makes for some impressive and masterfully directed action scenes.
Visually, I think the film has some impressive shots to offer. Particularly those that illustrate the plot of the Japanese players. The explicit but intelligent storytelling that emanates from the visuals is also remarkable.
I loved the musical choices in this film, as they perfectly underscore certain scenes.
The humour is not always hit and miss but it is very funny.
There are only two elements of this film that I feel should be addressed. Firstly, the excessively gory violence at times. Secondly and finally, from a logical point of view, the fact that the events and fights that take place on the train are barely noticed by the other passengers.
In summary, this enjoyable and energetic film offers a well-constructed plot with neat visuals, songs and masterful action.
It's more then a bland action-in-a-train film.
