Review of Snowpiercer

Snowpiercer is a truly unique experience. Its amazing visuals and great concept make it one of the most memorable films of recent years for me.

If the Weinstein company succeed in getting their wish of cutting this film by 20 mins for the North American release, the vision of Joon-ho Bong will be tarnished. The pace of the film in its original form works extremely well, particularly in terms of the impact it generates by juxtaposing explosive action sequences with scenes that are focused on story detail. It's structure is most effective as it stands and it will suffer if the aforementioned get their disreputable fingers on it.
