It's Speed, but on a train!
On a Japanese bullet train, there has been a bomb attached, and if it goes below 100 km/h, it goes boom! The first half of the movie is about dealing with people on the train finding out about this, and the train company doing what it can to rescue people... leading to just a handful of people, ie the main cast, to deal with the second half. There's an actual twist I didn't see coming, and the movie is more about how people react under stress and revealing their true selves.
I have no idea how they did the outside train shots. I doubt they could just hire a train, so did they just film the train as it went about its business? CGI? Models? Bit of everything? Certainly well done.
The acting is fine. I'm not sure I entirely buy the acting from some of the characters, but I got the idea and that was enough.
Decent action movie, turned thriller, but ultimately rather disposable.
