Review of Snowpiercer (2013) by Tane J — 03 Oct 2015
People tend to throw around the word "good" when they talk about a well-made movie, and I think it gets thrown around far too much. A good movie isn't just a movie that gets the job done, it's a movie that achieves it's goal and takes the audience for an entertaining ride at the same time. Now that we've established that, 'Snowpiercer' isn't just a good movie. 'Snowpiercer' is a masterpiece.
From the dystopian world of the rattling ark to the video game like action sequences, this is a movie that refuses to quit. This is one of those rare cases where I really can't seem to find a single flaw with this movie. I haven't felt that since 'The Dark Knight.'.
Let's get into the performances. Chris Evans gives the performance I expected, which isn't at all a bad thing. He's strong, courageous, and just. The real standout, to me anyway, is Tilda Swinton. Swinton is a lovely lady, as well as an elegant actress, and she flat-out knows how to chew scenery. She chews every scene to bits in this movie.
Overall, this is a movie that I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed. Every moment is brilliant cinema.
