Night Train

To be honest I only gave this movie a chance because I taught the main actress (Danielle C. Ryan) was gorgeous, and I was right. The movie starts with a story all over the place and you have no idea who is who, but after a slow and in my opinion, a bad start, they picked up a pace and I'm glad I didn't quit after 30 minutes. Two leading actresses gave very solid performances, also some of the supporting cast also did a reasonable job, which was a bit of a surprise because of the terrible rating this movie has. There are also some very well written dialogues between characters, also another surprise that a B rated movie gets emotional and deeply thought on few occasions. If you expect something spectacular and blockbuster action and effects, well this is not for you, if you lower your expectations and have some free time to spend Night Train isn't that terrible.

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.

You see the assault rifle the girl is holding on the poster? She never holds a gun, ever. There is no action. None. I don't think there's even a single gun shot. Even the poster looks like it was generated by an AI.

There's a drag race in the beginning with an opening montage that feels like a Fast and Furious knock off. Then there's a dull off road desert car chase at the end that looks like they were going no more than 15 miles an hour. That's all the action you'll ever get.

There are two plots going on. The A plot has the main character running drugs in her "legendary souped-up pickup truck" (someone actually wrote those words). The B plot is an FBI woman trying to stop the drug flow. The A plot doesn't even happen until 1/3 into the movie. And the two plots don't even intersect until 2/3 into the movie.

The B plot with the FBI woman is so unbelievably bizarre. Her character is supposed to be this tragic alcoholic and the actress actually seems like she's drunk. She must because she knows how absolutely crap this movie is. Her plot painfully cringe to watch.

And let's not forget the main character. An attractive young blonde that's "just one of the boys". Take a shot for every time they bring up how she's a girl.

This is basically a fetish movie for the director. He seems to have a thing for casting blondes in "action movies". If that's your thing, cool, but at least bring the action. The movie does have that "so bad it's good" quality sometimes but it's not worth it.

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.

11 mins in, no atmosphere and no plot, does not bode well.

So a few seconds of speed racing a few seconds of modifying cars, trucks and bikes as part of the business a few seconds of lil boy needing meds Mom trying to buy meds Mom not getting meds because supply chain being shut down Mom offers to drug run so she can get her sons meds for free

there no speed no action no excitement and the plot jumps all over the place without really telling us anything.

Ultimately its a non story & really not worth bothering with Any action it could have had, was either never filmed or cut, leaving a very very boring nothing movie.

The Plot is All Over the Place The Script is mediocre The sound is Atrocious The Photography is mediocre The Acting is mediocre

Not worth bothering 👎
