Snowpiercer


Very engaging, though the end disappoints.

John Hurt was a good choice for his role.

Ed Harris was not.

Far too hale and hearty to play the role of a tired, frail old man who wanders his kitchen in his robe, no longer bothering to shave regularly, looking to surrender his position to a young successor.

Harris could be in his eighties, for all I know, but he still looks like a very fit fellow in his fifties, at most.

I have no idea why, but the flick had something of the look of an old TV show on videotape.

That, too, was odd.
