Snowpiercer is what you get when a studio isn’t trying to force a PG-13 rating or overly concerned with setting up spin-offs. In other words, it’s a summer blockbuster done right.
Adapted from a French graphic novel by South Korean raconteur Bong Joon-ho (The Host), it’s a violent, blackly comic vision of a dystopia that just so happens to be the best of the summer’s big action/sci-fi movies.
