681803, Wildly entertaining.

I loved the concept quite a bit and found it to be somewhat unique, even as it touched on elements of Brazil, the end of The Matrix Reloaded (when Curtis gets to the front of the train and meets Wilford) and the last 45 minutes of Escape from New York (with people getting picked off on the way to the goal).

We can quibble over the execution of said concept (no, actually, let's not), but even still the movie kept me engaged. Tilda was very funny but I was surprised she didn't last that long. And I think it would have been unrealistic for everyone to make it to the head of the train, honestly. I didn't mind that we had b-list and c-list cannon fodder aligned with Chris Evans. The movie had a simple-enough setup and followed through on it, and that was fine by me.

I enjoyed it.
