 a good twilight zone type movie. February 9, 2010
bigmanpac
a pretty good direct to dvd low budget suspense/thriller with good actors Danny Glover, Steve Zahn and the beautiful Leelee Sobieski.(WARNING SPOILER ALERT!!) A little bit of a confusing plot about three people who stumble upon a mysterious box in which they look in and see different things like Danny sees diamonds Steve sees emeralds and i don't know what Leelee saw she never said ,they start to act desperate and try to open the mystery box which leads to greed and mayhem. Leelee really shows a more psychotic side to her. At the end it was never revealed to where the box came from and what was exactly in it, Danny opens it finally and sees a bright light and it kills him but I don't know what it was. It lacks explanation. But other than that it was a good movie.
Entertaining Low-Budget Thriller February 2, 2010
Tsuyoshi (Kyoto, Japan)
US-German-Romanian production "Night Train" opens like a dark, noir-like thriller set in a night train running through the snow on Christmas Eve, on which two passengers Chloe (Leelee Sobieski) and Peter (Steve Zahn), and a veteran conductor Miles (Danny Glover) stumble upon a mysterious box. The box, which seems to contain something valuable, actually belongs to a stranger who has just passed away on the train. So what would they do? Call the next station and report it? Or keep the box for themselves, or perhaps him/herself?
The fast-pace thriller starts promisingly with three main characters who slowly reveal their true personalities to each other. Part of the film's premise might remind us of "Shallow Grave" or "A Simple Plan," but some may remember the classic "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre." Desire and suspicion play an important role in furthering the story, but there is also a "Twilight Zone"-like supernatural element about the storyline, especially in the second half of it.
That is where the story gets derailed. Writer/director Brian King (writer for Vincenzo Natali's unique thriller "Cypher") is eager to entertain the viewers with actions and surprises, but as the story unfolds, things start to look too incredible, even silly, to take seriously. Also, external shots of the train are shot with special effects and they are not very impressive, making the film's climax less suspenseful than it should be.
To be fair, "Night Train" (Leelee Sobieski and her performance in particular) is not boring. I find the film entertaining enough, but maybe not in the way originally intended.
Kinda blah January 21, 2010

It was nice to see Riff Raff after all these years...although I didn't realize that was him until the end credits. (Rocky Horror fans take note)
Mystery on a train?...how many times can they kick that old dead horse. And what the heck was in that box anyway?? I really expected more considering the cast. However, it was pretty well-acted for a blah movie which is why I gave it an extra star. Eh...I've seen worse.
Great Hitchcock style low budget piece! November 29, 2009

This film is a perfect example of how to make a very effective and suspenseful film with a low budget. One location, few actors and great script. The interaction between the different characters is great. Danny Glover is perfect as the aging train conductor who sees the chance to get a break in life. Only thing that disturbed me was the bad CGI.

Not a bad movie, but not easy to follow if you are multi-tasking and not completely paying attention.
