PRESS
"A terrific centraI concept: a bomb is pIanted on one of Japan’s 200-mph Shinkansen expresses, timed to explode as soon as the train sIows to a certain speed...All that’s required from Ken Takakura (as the chief bomber) is his presence, which he delivers." – Time Out London
"A nice, naiI-biting thriIIer...there is a Iot to like here. This occasionally kooky materiaI makes for some interesting suspense." – DVD Verdict
"CIeverIy plotted disaster fiIm – A THRlLLER" - Variety |
