A period zombie film derivative of Train To Busan but featuring handsome Hanbok-clad superstars in flashy action sequences.

There's a lot about 'Widows' that's good, and quite a bit of it that doesn't work. But it's an interesting mess that's worth a look.

Buckle up for an exhilarating ride of shocking revelations and cathartic dialogue nailed by phenomenal performances.
