681700, Interesting enough journey to a disappointing destination

---- SPOILERS----

Everything about the film is basic. Basic plot (Get to the front of the train), fairly basic characters, basic message, basic acting. hit a lot of the basic cliches. Nothing besides the world building of the train was really all that intriguing.

It was kind of blunt force cinema in terms of the fights and plans. Nothing too clever about their approach or attacks and the fight choreography wasn't much. I was excited when the tattoed due was let loose but then he just kind of did a basic move.

The girl being the "Just a second too late clairvoyant" seemed completely unnecessary and basically after the second door, that element disappeared. The #2 guy coming back was also unnecessary. I'd have cut the whole Evans v. #2 shooting guns through the window moment.

Honestly, the Jamie Bell character wasn't even that necessary. Evans's turmoil about saving him didn't make sense until we were told why later but, ultimately, it didn't really matter.

All in all, a decent flick but wildly overrated IMO.
