Movie: Train to Busan (2016)
Ma Dong-seok (aka Don Lee) has an impressive filmography and a slate of awards—unfortunately for American audiences, not all of his South Korean work is easily available stateside. Nevertheless, he gives a memorable, scene-stealing performance in the smart zombie blockbuster Train to Busan. Initially presented as a jerk, at least, if not a bully, Ma’s character evolves into the unexpected heart of the film, as well as the main conduit for its ideas about class.
Where to stream: Prime Video, Shudder, Peacock, fuboTV, Vudu, Hoopla, Redbox, Plex
Also watch: 2018's Unstoppable (available for digital rental) sees Ma as a former gangster trying to live on the straight and narrow...until he’s pushed too far.
