Peninsula (2020)
7/10
Entertaining Sequel
2 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
After the zombie outbreak in South Korea, Captain Jung Seok (Dong-won Gang) heads with his sister, her husband and their daughter to a vessel that will transport survivors to Japan. While sailing, an infected man attacks a group of survivors, killing them including Jung Seok's sister and nephew and the ship changes her course to Hong-Kong. South Korea is quarantined by the other countries to contain the outbreak.

Four years later Jung Seok and his brother-in-law Chul-min (Do-yoon Kim) are broken and outcast in Hong-Kong and South Korea is completely isolated. One day, they are contacted and invited to join a four-man team to retrieve a truck with US$ 20,000,000.00 in a place called Peninsula in the former North Korea. The mobster would transport the team to the Incheon Port during the night and they would bring the truck before the morning; in return, they would receive half of the money. However, they stumble upon a militia and the simple operation becomes a nightmare and only Jung Seok and Chul-min survive to an accident. How can they return to the ship that is waiting for them?

"Bando ", a.k.a. "Peninsula", is not exactly a sequel of excellent and tense "Train to Busan". The idea of Korea quarantined by other countries to contain the outbreak of the first film is the only connection with the original movie. The plot is indeed an action post-apocalyptic film with zombies and highly entertaining. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Invasão Zumbi 2: Península" ("Zombie Invasion 2: Peninsula")
