Subwave

It's like the Russian version of a typical Hollywood disaster movie. ("Daylight" is very similar to this one.) So the characters are clichéd, the escape at the end is quite unrealistic, there are no conflict between the characters, everybody just wants to survive. The acting is almost amateur.

On the contrary, the directing, the cinematography and the visual effects are amazing, they're even better than in many Hollywood movies. The main catastrophe and the immediate consequences are shown in a quite impressive way, almost better than in any other disaster movie before.

Because of this, I can recommend this one for watching, but don't expect anything better than a clichéd story.

A touching story all over the two hours, not just in the end. Intrigues - all over the movie, not just in the start. The end of the story - it may end at any moment, and it would still be great. No particular connection to Moscow, Russia, subterranean train - it can be anywhere, any time. People meet each other, struggle, about to die, struggle, survive, get to know each other on a new perspective.

It's a "must pause" every time you go to the bathroom. 'Cause even without the "subway drama", it's still a deepest drama, and it would rise your sentiments to a whole new level. 9 out of 10, but it starts from 9.

Good russian movie. worth of time. you should see. Not too much over exaggerated scene. well done

Accustomed to the fact that in modern Russian cinematograph there are very, very few good films, I did not expect much from this either. The 6.5 rating only reinforced this concern. As a result, I was very surprised that I was very wrong. This is a very good movie. Not without it's small roughness and a few clichés, but definitely deserves rating above average. Generally maybe 8. But for me, as I was pleased that I caught a good Russian film - totally 9. P.S.: Never ignore dangerous signs.

I discovered this Russian subway drama thriller in a shopping site. I thought to give it a chance and I don't regret.

What I saw exceeded by far my expectations. There is a good balance between real action scenes and funny dialogs. Then the director mixed the dramatic countdown very well with the other mentioned ingredients. The result is an entertaining and solid drama thriller that can be set no doubt in line with many other Hollywood films of this genre. It was never boring and the pace just right,

Even my wife enjoyed it and thumbs up for all the actors who delivered a respectable performance,

If you like subway movies check out Unstoppable with Denzel Washington.

For all these reasons it merits a solid 7/10.
