a5c7b9f00b The widow Dr. Lewis Shaler and his son Max are traveling late night by train to London. Lewis will leave Max with his grandparents to attend victims of a great accident at the hospital where he works. When Max accidentally spills coffee on the coat of the promoter Sarah Barwell, Lewis is embarrassed and offers to pay for the cleaning of her coat. Soon they start a conversation and feel attracted for each other. When the train stops, Lewis sees a man on the track apparently fixing the brakes. When the trains moves, he sees another man crawling on the tracks. Lewis seeks out the train guard and finds that he is missing. Further, the train does not stop at the stations. He tries to contact the driver that asks how many passengers are still on board and nothing else. Lewis contacts the passengers Jan Klimowski, Peter Carmichael and Elaine Middleton and they team-up expecting to stop the train. Soon they conclude that the train has no brake and the driver is a suicidal. What will happen to them?
A small group of everyday passengers on a speeding London commuter train battle their warped driver who has a dark plan for everyone on-board.
Absolutely astonishing. There is craft and there is thought behind this movie. Trouble is action viewers will not find it good enough. It is slow and reading other reviews, I get their frustrations about silly inconsistencies that only matter in action films.<br/><br/>There's the rub, it's not an action pic. It is a contemplation on mortality. Serious viewers will pass it over as silly, but any time the critics like an action picture so much more than the ordinary reviewers, you should know to whom it will appeal.<br/><br/>Please see this film if you like to consider weighty subjects like death and the meaning of life after someone you love dies. See it if you have ever felt like your life is metaphorically a speeding train sabotaged by a suicidal driver careening to an immortality of tabloid fame. Hell just see it if you don't mind the silly action bits, explosions and a handful of dead people. And just remember they would have all died anyway and there are no refunds.
"Lewis Shaler" (Dougray Scott) is a doctor who is on his way to a hospital at night and decides to take the train to get there. With him is his son "Max Shaler" (Joshua Kaynama) who Lewis plans on leaving with Max's grandparents when they get to their destination. Also on the train is a fellow passenger named "Sarah Barwell" (Kara Tointon) who strikes up a conversation with Lewis along the way. However, as the train continues on through the night Lewis suddenly sees a body on the tracks and immediately goes to find a guard to investigate the situation. It's at this same time that he realizes that the train isn't stopping at its assigned stations and being unable to find a guard attempts to contact the driver. Unfortunately, the train continues on at ever-increasing speeds with the few remaining passengers seemingly powerless to slow it down. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that, while this certainly wasn't a great movie by any means, the director (Omid Nooshin) managed to maintain the suspense and used the rather limited cast in a sufficient manner to produce a fairly entertaining film none-the-less. Likewise, having an absolutely gorgeous actress like the aforementioned Kara Tointon certainly didn't hurt either. In any case, I thought it was worth the time spent watching it and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
Some overripe dialogue and a well-worn plot are tempered by an admirable reluctance to humanise the terrorist.
