Awesome Japanese thriller in the best American style

Far better for me than a simple SPEED aboard a train scheme, this is a tremendous thriller where characters are very well depicted; I speak of the Long version of two hours and thirty minutes; not the short one. Ken Takakura outstanding in this villain character, and also the lead one. This is tense, gritty, very unique in the Japanese film industry which looked like a disaster Hollywoodian movie for this period. The good Hollywood side, not the lousy one that we had later, in the eighties and nineties. I highly recommend it to anyone who could be afraid because it is a film from Asia. Try this one, who ever you are, you won't regret it.
