a5c7b9f00b 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. 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? 97 minutes of boring repetitious, old plot except that it lacks a reason WHY. I guess that&#39;s the mystery part. Decent acting but horrible writing and directing. A time line that is out of whack. You are left wondering WHY the train was jacked. Why these people were still on the train and WHO did it. Noticed is opened and closed in 1 weekend in US making less than 10K. No wondering why on that. 97 minutes of boring repetitious, old plot except that it lacks a reason WHY. I guess that&#39;s the mystery part. Decent acting but horrible writing and directing.

The film was suspenseful and mysterious, and slowly but surely built to an exciting action climax. The film is essentially about a man on a suicide mission and the people along the way for the ride, although not by choice. We never really see the suicidal driver or learn anything about him, but the film really is more about the victims and how they react and act in desperate times. Dougray Scott made a credible hero. The film features some really great visual effects.<br/><br/>I really enjoyed this. While certainly a formulaic genre film, it's nevertheless a formula executed with a great sensitivity to visual engagement.
