Peninsula (2020)
8/10
Action Packed Roller-Coaster Ride
12 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I saw "Train to Busan Presents:Peninsula" starring Dong_Won Gang-Golden Slumber, The Secret Reunion; Jung_Hyun Lee-Alice in Earnestland, A Petal Girl; Min_Jae Kim-The Truth Beneath, A Girl at My Door and Re Lee-A Melody to Remember, How to Steal a Dog. This is a sequel to the 2016 Train to Busan, with both being filmed in South Korea-with Korean actors-and both about a zombie apocalypse. And they are both in Korean with English sub titles-at least the ones I saw were. This one takes place about 4 years after the first movie and no, none of the survivors from the first movie are in this one. Dong plays a soldier that escaped to Hong Kong after the first infection hit. Some gangster type felons want him to go back into the zombie occupied area to retrieve a truck loaded with lots of cash that was left in the hasty evacuation-Dong has been there and knows his way around-and they promise him a hefty cut of the money. When he goes back in, he crosses paths with Jung, Min & Re, some of which are helpful and some are not-It seems that there are some survivors inside the area, both good and bad. It's an action packed rollercoaster ride of fast car chases-which reminded me of the Mad Max and Escape From New York movies-and zombie fighting, and these are the fast moving zombies, not the slow ones. Now, I must admit that some of the action is a little unbelievable-they must really make strong cars and trucks in Korea-but this isn't a documentary, it's a zombie movie. If you like zombie movies, you should enjoy this one-and if you haven't seen the first one, you should check it out. It's not rated but it contains action, violence and some language and has a running time of 1 hour & 56 minutes. I really liked it and would buy it on Blu_Ray.
