Train Ride

Up-and-coming Director, Rel Dowdell has crafted an intriguing film that comments on today's young people and their lacking sense of morality. Set on a college campus, the film centers around a date rape and its ensuing implications. Wonderfully acted, the film points out many of humanity's shortcomings, such as lust, competition, power and control. A well written, well directed effort that should not be missed.

Days after I viewed the film, I found that it still had an impact on me. I am usually not one for independent films, as they always leave me confused and wondering....What did I just see? However, this film was very moving, funny, thought-provoking, and certainly one of the best independent films I've seen in a while. That is the extent of my comments, as I do not wish to be blacklisted by discussing what I really want to about the film in detail.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, and I thought the music was tight!

Rel Dowdell is by far, one of the most talented and gifted writer/director in the industry today. His movie (Train Ride) was very well written and casted some of the most talented actors around. The subject matter in the movie was something that really needed to be discussed so that unsuspecting and innocent people are aware of the damage that can result from drug usage. The movie deals with a very serious subject matter but you also get a few laughs in between the tears. I am very proud of this very insightful, young and creative writer/director.

I saw this movie and think it is worth showing in all communities. I especially feel there is a strong message to high school female who are looking forward to College. I think our young people think that entering college is getting away from Mom and Dad, party, party and just letting their hair down. Although there are some sexual scenes, I feel High School seniors are ready to get an idea of the "real deal" This doesn't frighten students about college. We all know, an education is needed. There is just a "WAKE UP CALL" Thomas Braxton does an excellent acting job when he takes the blame for his actions. This being Ester Rhoes last movie, it could be a tribute to her.

A truly extraordinary film, writer/director Rell Dowdell and his cast did an excellent job of showing us that communication is something we lack in today's society. Societies where families are in search of the American Dream shuffle their sons and daughters off to be raised by everyone but their parents.

Rell Dowdell is by far, one of the most talented and gifted writers/directors in the industry today. His film (Train Ride ) definitely will catch the hearts and minds of everyone who sees this film.
