Reminds me a lot of 1974's "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" movie in both setting and execution, as well as comparable production values. It's a good movie to watch if you have a passing interest for Japanese, Shinkansen (and how they were managed at the time), as well as hostage transport stories like "Speed". Has good tension throughout, but the pacing is a bit slow (and it lasts for 2 and a half hours).. and the script seems underwritten in some parts, as well as having an unsatisfying ending. And while there's plenty of people running around and constantly problem solving, has very realistic developments, and even the villains get a back story.. it didn't impact me in any way, nor did I think it was memorable. Sadly, I feel like nothing I hadn't already seen, and left me thinking I would have loved to watch it when it came out. Probably, even then, I think I wouldn't have been high on it.
I would recommend it anyway, if you can find it.
