MOVIE REVIEW
A train, home to the last remnants of humanity, barrels through an icy apocalypse in Snowpiercer, the new action-thriller from Bong Joon-ho (The Host). Exciting and unpredictable, Snowpiercer is a refreshing change of pace from the typical Hollywood fare, though plot holes and other inconsistencies occasionally knock it off the rails.Read our Snowpiercer movie review »
