Last Passenger (2013)



When on a poster of a movie called "Last Passenger" you also see written "One train. Six passengers. No chance." something doesn't really sound right. Well... I didn't see the poster before the movie. But let's not make this unnecessarily long. We have a regional train somewhere in the London area, hijacked by a mysterious guy with train driving abilities (and a diesel one, not electric). The guy stays mysterious up to the end, although we have some sort of suggestion on why he's doing what he does. What's certain is that the intention seems to be crashing the train at the end of the rail tracks. Stuff that's not really acceptable for the last passengers left in the train after the hijacking, six of them. Spoiler: not all of them die, so the "last passenger" is more of a marketing trick, although... for 20 seconds close to the end, we can somehow to consider somebody fit for this position. Obviously, all the story is focused on the attempts to stop the train. What we see is ok-ish in this context. Ok-ish = unfortunately we have some scenes that make no sense, the character building is sometimes stereotypical, there's a bit of overacting and it's clearly a movie of low budget and production value - camera work, sound, etc (which might actually excuse a bit the rest). To conclude, don't expect much, but let's say that it has its moments, not many, but there are...

Rating: 2.5 out of 5
