TWO ACTION FILMS REVIEW

Never mind the plot, just watch the action and the especial effects. This seems
to be the message of the science-fiction films Snowpiercer and Matrix.

The two films resemble each other the most in their revolutionary thematic
content. Both of them focus on groups of humans struggling for freedom against
the powerful classes or machine armies. Also common to both films are the
fast-moving and action-packed scenes which mixed with a vivid soundtrack
heighten the overall impact of the special effects and create an atmosphere of
suspense.

Attention should also be drawn to the outstanding performance of the main

actors. Chris Evan's moving portrayal of an unsuccessful teacher Cuurtis
Everett in Snowpiercer and Keanu Reeve's compelling performance as a
computer programmer genius Thomas A. Anderson in Matrix, will have you
rushing out to watch the film more than once.

Although there is little to choose between the two movies, what set Snowpiercer
apart from Snowpiercer is its ability to make the audience roar with laughter with
its gripping plot full of humour and irony touches which has actually taken critics
hats off.

To conclude, if you are keen on a nonstop action rollercoaster movie with some
irony touches that focus on the withdrawal of the protagonists into their own
inner world providing that way a fascinating insight into the futuristic technology
Snowpiercer it's a definite must-see for you.
