problem with Evans.
I didn't think it dragged; I kept wondering how the director was going to make the progression through the cars interesting--- and really surprised he did.
I thought Harris' role was great and that he (not one of my favorite actors because of a tendency to be TOO intense) projected the powerful personality and vision that kind of leader would have to.
It may sound corny, but the "message" of the film resonated with me, too; I couldn't help but share the anger of the masses at the blithe, uncaring, and vacuous lifestyle of the "forward car" folks.
Bong doesn't just make films, he makes thought vehicles. All of his films have "messages," though this one, being a clear allegory, is less hidden.
The budget, btw, was 40 million, a massive outlay for a Korean flick.
