TRAIN TO BUSAN PRESENTS: PENINSULA (2020) Official Teaser | Zombie Action Movie
And I was just carried away from tearful hugs WHEN a crowd of zombies is rushing at you, it's just necessary! If in the first film I cried when the characters died, it was touching and sad, then I don't give a fuck. And this fast and furious with zombies on perfect roads almost died of laughter!
Why did I pay so much attention to the confusion with the names? Firstly, even I, being a fan of the first part and following the project for some time, simply forgot about it and accidentally came across it in the poster. And, secondly, you will soon understand. Let's start with the tie. Four years have passed since the events of the past films. Korea has become a quarantine zone, which the world community, for the most part, does not care about - the virus was contained and well. Four refugees who escaped from South Korea to China are hired by Hong Kong bandits so that our heroes quickly rush to the port of Incheon, find a truck with $ 20 million, load it back onto the ship and return to Hong Kong. The triads (and one white gentleman) don't want to risk their asses, but to send consumables from the locals on a suicide mission - why not? Well, for everything about everything - four fortune hunters will get 10 million for everyone. Zack Snyder is biting his elbows somewhere right now. He is currently filming an Army of the Dead for Netflix with a similar beginning about a relatively honest way of enriching himself in the form of returning to an isolated zone and robbing a casino forgotten in the midst of hordes of zombies. In general, a suicide squad lands in a port city and goes in search of loot. And up to this point "The Peninsula " resembles the good old "Busan ". There's a great sentimental prologue, which sets up the right mood, and wonderful banter, which is especially funny from the South Korean director (- So, Busan was not a safe place? - no. In fact, there is only one safe place left on the Korean peninsula - North Korea. The policy of self-isolation has justified itself), and the correctly noticed tendencies to blame the country's representatives for the diseases that break out on its territory (I note that the script of the Peninsula was written before coronavirus hysteria, but the attitude in the film towards Koreans is very similar to what some expressed about the Chinese). And, in general, minutes to the 20th there is a feeling that the director is doing everything right. On the one hand, it does not repeat the formula one by one and increases the scale of what is happening, on the other hand, it leaves the advantages of the original intact. Unfortunately, everything turned out absolutely wrong.
Surprisingly, the peninsula is only harmed by a nameplate mentioning Busan (in whatever form). In fact, viewing the Peninsula is if your younger sister invited you to her graduation, you would come so beautiful and dressed up, but it would turn out that this is a graduation at a witch school, where you are being sacrificed. The level of fucking from what is happening is about the same. "Peninsula " almost completely forgets about its roots and cuts a wild cross between "Mad Max " and "John Wick ". In theory, there is nothing terrible in this, because already in the source data there are hints of Ocean's Eleven Friends (or any movie about a team assembled for a mega-complex task), and of Carpenter's Escape from New York, and then there's and the action was brought. The trouble is that even the budget increased by 2 times compared to the Train is not enough for all the director's wishes. You can't look at the local chases without tears - it's worse than the chromakey (by the way, he gets out with his eyes and in quieter scenes) you still need to look. And the one who, for some reason (most likely related again to monetary restrictions), decided that the idea of speeding up everything that happens on the screen during the races by one and a half times is great, you need to put on a lifetime viewing of Tarkovsky's tapes without the right to rewind. Gan-kata (well, that is, a fight with the use of firearms) looks unconvincing compared to the latest exercises of Keanu Reeves. And the trouble with all this is the almost complete absence of characters who want to empathize. If in the first part of them there was a whole car (ha-ha) and a small cart, then only the son-in-law of the main character and the captain are of interest here. Otherwise, the characters are either very strange, or played as crookedly as possible (and, no, it's not about Asian cinema. Koreans, of course, have their own specifics in acting, but there is something at the level of Sarik Andreasyan already: from overly cool and annoying children to a crushed grandfather). And each of them could be brought to mind. Yes, the same initial four. What is the concept: get rich and substitute your neighbor to divide 10 lams into fewer mouths, or stay human and save a friend.
But the director, having cast a bait on such a development of events, quickly scores on it. "Peninsula " is a bunch of good ideas, poorly implemented both in semantic and technical terms. Yeon Sang-ho dangerously balances between outright trash, a cheap comic book and sometimes a decent thriller. All this, by some miracle, almost on the moral and strong-willed, does not slip into a frankly unreadable mess. And, interestingly, the film would be perceived as an extravagant curiosity from Asia (well, something in the spirit of "Killer football", "Kung Fu fuss", "Good, bad, fucked up"), if there wasn't this binding to the Busan train. "The Peninsula" not that it does not jump to the high-set bar "Busan ", it purposefully takes a shovel and digs deep. I will be afraid to recommend it to both fans of the genre and fans of the Busan train, and in general I will not recommend it to anyone. Alas. All this reminded me of the story with the sequel "28 days later ", when an unnecessary sequel was removed to an almost perfect chamber horror movie, adding action, but simultaneously losing all the other polymers. And just like in "28 weeks later " the best part of "Peninsula " is the prologue, after which you can leave the hall without fear.
2. The movie is terrible
In any case, the cartoon and the movie were cool, and the peninsula is the bottom of the bottom
Oh, look, the number two is on someone's poster. And even in English without Presents. Probably, the Russians ruined everything here and deceived everyone. At the box office, the film was promoted either as a direct sequel or as a film directly connected with the Train.
But if you don't compare them, then you can watch an interesting movie)) I liked it not bad at all
Kim Dong Won is so cool, it really suits him more to act in action movies, with weapons in his hands and in a suit, in films, not in dramas, no wonder he doesn't like to act in dramas😂 in this film he also played cool, especially with his eyes and facial expressions, he plays very cool 🔥
Actress Lee Jong Hyun was a little infuriated with her game, like her character, I liked the game of the sister girls and the way the older one drives a car. It's super simple
