Finally got around to watching Train to Busan. Its a movie that has been hyped up greatly and absolutely love horror movies. Despite the great reviews I tempered by expectations because it is a foreign film.

The movie starts out promising with an interesting premise of a zombie outbreak progressively getting out of control as our main characters begin a journey by train to Busan to see their wife/mother. But throughout the movie, the theme of helping self vs others is routinely and bluntly placed before viewers without any subtlety or situational queues to make it seem natural.

The father representing a take care of you/yours point of view and the daughter always choosing to help others. But there isnt any nuance and its a childish dumb presentation. Like yea ok, the daughter offers her seat to an elderly woman...all fine and dandy but when she questions lift threatening decisions her father is making she always make it seem black and white morally and thats just not the case. This is my main problem with this movie. Its dumb and tries to present literal survival decisions as black and white morally rather than the incredibly complicated decisions they really are.
