We enjoyed reviewing Parasite so much that we decided to dive into another, perhaps lesser known/praised, film from the creative mind of Bong Joon Ho with his 2013 film, "Snowpiercer". This action film led by Chris Evans, in arguably his most diverse role, follows a globe circling train and its inhabitants as they cross a frozen post apocalyptic world. This film speaks to, and presents uniquely, many real world societal & class issues that we are facing today. As the tensions boil over aboard the train, a messy and emotionally driven revolutionary movement towards the engine of the train begins.
