Night Train

Now, the movie "Night Train" is listed as an action thriller. I have to say that I found it to be neither of those two things. The movie was, for a lack of better words, just downright boring.

The storyline in "Night Train", as written by CJ Walley, was a complete and utter swing and a miss in terms of entertaining me. The narrative in the movie was so insanely slow paced that you could leave the movie running whilst you had to do house chores, then come back and still be up to speed. And the fact that the character gallery had about as much appeal as a carton of spoiled milk, just didn't exactly help to sell the movie.

The acting performances in "Night Train" were stale. Nothing to get the movie up in speed here either. Of the entire cast, then I was only familiar with Abraham Benrubi and Reggie Austin.

If you enjoy a good action thriller, just like I do, then do yourself a favor and don't waste 95 minutes on watching "Night Train". Nay, you just might want to skip out on punching the ticket for this particular train and just let it roll past the train station in the snail pace tempo that it was going forward in.

My rating of "Night Train", from director Shane Stanley, lands on a generous two out of ten stars.

Sometimes you start watching a movie and it only takes you one minute to know this is not going to be good. Night Train is one of those movies. About everything is bad about it. The plot, if you can call it that, looks like its been written by a fourteen year old fantasizing about fast cars and blond chicks (the dumb kind in this case). The acting is mediocre at best, some are just awful to watch. The worst was Diora Baird, I don't know if it was her dumb unlikable character or just her, probably both. I get it that you have bad writers. I'm just wondering how a bad writer has the luck to find someone that reads this script and thinks he has something golden here. The script is awful, cringeworthy to watch, makes a B-movie look like a Z-movie.

Simply horrific in every aspect. Bad acting, zero action, horrible dialogue.

Reviewer skiplewis-49403 sums it up best.

"Cringe worthy and unwatchable. I couldn't even finish watching this junk to see the ending. Just really bad acting and a terrible script. There wasn't one part of this movie I found enjoyable. I had low expectations going into it and the movie was even worse than I expected I could barely pay attention and almost fell asleep. Terrible cast and laughable action scenes. Plot is not believable whatsoever. Seems to be the norm for most movies released nowadays . The fact that this was even released is comical. It's a real shame how bad movies have become. I would definitely not recommend watching this movie to anyone . Nails on a chalkboard bad."

It's unreal. I don't understand, barring a deliberate bot attack, the ratings given to this movie don't make any sense. Unless the unexpected success of the previous film by this same writer/director team provoked revengeful jealousy. Going from honorable ratings, given by the first spectators in the movie theaters, to only ratings of 1 in one day, would be a joke if it weren't so sad. This film is good, maybe not what this highly touted second poster announces (why?), but there is an atmosphere, multidimensional characters, a duo of amazing actresses, action necessary for the script but not omnipresent and above all beautiful intimate scenes between characters. Shout out to Daniele C Ryan and Joe Lando for their father/daughter scenes. The questionable lynching of this film is not deserved. Don't expect a movie of big cylinders, explosions and brainless little peeps, it's much more than that. Give it a chance.
