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