I have to admit I'm a bit stumped when it comes to Station, and maybe the imperfect subtitles on the version I found added to that confusion. It's a film of two halves, kind of, but both parts follow one man who I guess is lost in life. One synopsis will have you believe the movie is about trying to find a murderer who's on the loose, but that's really only part of it. The second half isn't so much about crime of any sort, and instead feels like a sequel to the first half. It's a bit like watching two movies with the same main character back to back.

If this was the intention, I guess that's cool, but like I said, I'm lost, so I don't really know why the choice was made to do it that way. It resulted in a movie that felt very long and not always very interesting, as well as a bit jarring. If it were a duology, though, I don't think I could fault either half quite as much.

Taking the two halves together, too, the approach is still interesting, and I'll probably be trying to think about what it all means for a little while... or it might just be a character study; all about one man trying to do two different things at two different stages of his life.

Anyway, messiness aside, it's not poorly made, and I think the lead performances were generally good. I'm confused by a lot here, but that also might just be me.
