'Snowpiercer' is possibly pointless, but that's the point

Chris Evans in the movie version of 'Snowpiercer'.

French graphic novel-turned-movie Snowpiercer is a good read and an entertaining watch.

SNOWPIERCER’S road to pop culture has been a long, strange journey. It began as a French graphic novel that South Korean director Bong Joon-ho loved, so he turned it into a 125-minute movie with an international cast – and dialogue that was 80% English. And that cast really is something. In addition to South Korean actors Song Kang-ho and Ko Ah-Sung (The Host), Snowpiercer stars Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot), Chris Evans (Captain America), Tilda Swinton (Chronicles Of Narnia), Ed Harris (The Right Stuff) and John Hurt (everything from Alien to V For Vendetta).
