Train to Busan Presents Peninsula

Four years after the zombie outbreak in Train to Busan, the Korean peninsula is a desolate wasteland. Jung-seok, a former soldier, joins a team tasked with returning to the peninsula to retrieve a truck filled with American cash. They discover that survivors, including a rogue militia and a family fighting to escape, are struggling against zombie hordes. As the team navigates the dangerous landscape, they face betrayal, zombie attacks, and moral dilemmas, all while racing against time to secure the money and escape to a ship waiting offshore.

Train to Busan presents Peninsula Review

The technical quality of Peninsula’s effects doesn’t quite meet American big box office standards. Still, their fun (if physically impossible) application in the film’s grander action set pieces largely makes up for the deficiency. Which is good, because the fight scenes are uninspired, and the story stalls completely throughout the entire second act.

                   

As a piece of zombie-horror fluff, it’ll tide you over until 28 Years Later hits theaters.

  The U.N. sends rescuers at the end. Thinking that the U.N. does any good anywhere in any capacity is woke. Also, the rescuer is a three-foot-tall, overweight woman.
