The action and horror parts are surely great, but what I like more is how the director portrays human instinct and human interaction in society disgustingly realistically. The businessman is the most selfish man in the entire film history.. Just pure evil. However, when I see some part of me in him, it really hits hard and speaks loud. Even with all that going on, 'Train to Busan' manages to capture social problems prevalent in Korean society. Each section divided in the train represents a very stratified, selfish, and isolated society and groupism.
Action parts are very organized, like challenging each quest. First, in Dae-jeon, when people have to get back on the train. Second, when three men have to travel to section 13 to save remaining people and move to 15. Third, in Dae-goo, when they have to switch trains. Finally, the final battle between the hero and the villain. Each part is different from one another, different kinds of actions, keeping things interesting till the end.

Subject matter is interesting and not repetitive in film history, which is a rare opportunity. As I recently started reading about 'The Troubles', I was freaking curious and ready to be consumed in the movie. However, 'Bloody Sunday' cannot cook this first-class, fine-quality ingredient at all.
'Bloody Sunday' is good because it's realistic, and fails as a feature film because it's too realistic. 35mm film, washed out colors, and no artificial lighting make the film look like real footage from 1972. Camera movement is rather raw and shaky, heightening the sense of reality. Jagged editing and quick cuts raise anxiety and stress of a looming event.
In addition to all forms of cinema trying to look like a documentary, contents are more mundane and banal than forms. For example, when a unit is having a strategic meeting, I feel so left out. Rather than actors trying to deliver what's discussed in the meeting to the audience, they are just talking army argot like a real strategic meeting. Also, so many voices talk over one another, and it's hard to decipher what's being said. It gets harder because they all talk so fast. It's hard to connect to the movie, when it's pushing me away with all might.
