They don't make 'em like this anymore! This movie feels plucked straight out of the era of The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries, and Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island. Brought me straight back to my childhood.

While it doesn't reach the heights of Snowpiercer, Bong's skewering of capitalism remains delightfully pointed.
