Very good - stylish, exciting, mordant, imaginative (including in how it uses its high concept of the endless train), high stakes (it's willing to kill off a significant number of its main cast at intervals throughout the story) and, at times, gruelling ... the fight scenes, and particularly the one with the axes, reminded me of the hammer fight in Oldboy in their viscerality - the director of which, incidentally, Park Chan-wook, produces here. It can't be a coincidence that William Hurt's character is named 'Gilliam', as the influence is writ large, including in the combination of the spectacular and the grotesque. (Speaking of grotesque, Tilda Swinton is memorable, as is Alison Pill's cameo.)
