This movie is somewhat longer than 96 minutes.
A bomb expert failed to defuse all the bombs, and a department store exploded, killing a lot of people. Three years later, he and his wife are on a train from a memorial service when he and his director get a call to say there's another bomb. But it's not their train, it's another one, and it'll go off unless they admit what they did. Ah, but if only it was that easy, and simple decisions to be made...
Ah, a quiet train movie...with explosives! This is about guilt and surviving, and revenge for those who didn't, and there is also explosives. Being on a train (two trains!) there is pressure as people can't get away, although some try. Still, I'm sure everyone gets out alive...
Taiwanese movie here, and it's well done. There is some extreme coincidence with who is involved (a teacher happens to overhear the situation and just so happens to be related to people on the other train), but coincidences happen (especially for plot to happen). Good performances all around, big booms, and the dramatic pay off isn't the same thing as the hero gets the girl.
Trains and bombs, what a better pairing could there be?
