Night Train


Night Train follows two passengers and a conductor on a train. When a mysterious man dies, they look into his luggage and find a strange wooden box. Inside of it, they each see treasures worth taking…and killing for. This movie was a great thriller, playing out with the charm of a classic Twilight Zone episode. It keeps you genuinely interested from start to finish. Night Train is a masterpiece of the ‘simple plan gone horribly wrong’ genre. The standout in this movie was definitely Leelee Sobieski. She proved that, although she may look a great deal like Helen Hunt, she won’t be stuck as a B actress in horrid movies like Twister. Leelee did an amazing job and Danny Glover put in a solid performance as always. We should all count ourselves lucky that he’s somehow still alive. I definitely recommend this movie. The story moves rapidly, the characters are well developed and Steve Zahn almost convinces me that he’s an actor. Definitely worth renting.
