The Night Train

Every now and then you come across a movie that adds some elements of yesterday to it. By doing it so gracefully that you think you are being transported back in time. Only to realize that this isn't Kansas Dorothy.

The other night I watched a movie entitled Night Train which stars Danny Glover, Leelee Sobieski, and Steve Zahn.

Night Train makes you reminisce about great movies of old that take place on a train. Brian King is writer and director of this movie. He does a brilliant job luring you into this movie. The way a spider spins it's web trapping it's prey.

I don't really like giving too many details on a movie that may spoil it for you. So what I will do is tell you this you do not want to miss this flick.

Danny Glover plays Miles the train conductor, Leelee and Steve both play passengers seated in the back of the train in a cabin. The interior inside the train is rather old you cannot really place the time. King does a great job with keeping you guessing what time this is apart from it being Christmas Eve.

When the train stops it pick up a gentleman who almost misses the train and Miles lets him on without a ticket. He doesn't speak English, it is cold outside and Miles will let him pay him the price of the ticket after he seats him in the cabin that Steve and Leelee are in.

This is just so happens to be the inciting incident that ignites all the unexpected explosives. After the train makes this stop the temperature drops outside and inside the train as well.

Before long this regular train ride becomes a wicked ride filled with greed, double crosses, murder, blood and twists that keep you guessing what is going to happen next. It is scheduled for release on July 7.

But if you cannot wait that long to see this movie I know where you can get it from.

Blockbuster has an early release of the movie. Brian King did an excellent job with this movie so you will thank me for suggesting it to you. I know you will enjoy it thoroughly. Until tomorrow cinemaniacs.
