Last Passenger (2013)

The characters were very sweet and likable. The film was suspenseful and mysterious, and slowly but surely built to an exciting action climax. The film is essentially about a man on a suicide mission and the people along the way for the ride, although not by choice. We never really see the suicidal driver or learn anything about him, but the film really is more about the victims and how they react and act in desperate times. Dougray Scott made a credible hero. The film features some really great visual effects.I really enjoyed this.

It starts out with about 20-30 minutes of people riding on a train, which was pretty fascinating because they talk to each other, a bit like regular people on a regular train, but more boring because they're just reading a boring script.Then the train speeds up a bit, I guess. The passengers never seem very worried about it. They try to break into the engineer's compartment but give up in a few minutes. They don't try to pry the door open, they just bang on it and then give up.Then they try to uncouple their car, but again give up in a few minutes. There's a piece of metal covering the coupling that looks like two people could pull it up and bend it out of the way, but they never try. One guy goes outside, then gives up after a few minutes and comes back in - just in time! A tunnel!After that they sit around drinking and telling jokes while waiting for a special time to decouple the car: the special time is when they're going uphill, which would, in reality, make the train car harder to decouple.Then they try to blow up the coupling by putting a fire extinguisher over it, covering it with cloth, pouring a few ounces of booze on it and setting fire to it.Those few ounces of alcohol somehow set fire to the metal of the train and the metal continues to burn for the rest of the movie, finally rapidly spreading to the front of the train like gunpowder, for no apparent reason, then making the train engine explode while the one guy finally jumps off - right before the train stops.It was awful.

This truly was such an absolute pile of sewage I'm doubly mad that NetFlix has gone to a stupid Thumbs Up/Down only rating system. If a negative rating were possible I would give it that there. I had to come here to IMDb to give it 1 star and save you from the misery I experienced watching this. If you're someone who expects even some basic intelligence and logic in movie plots, and situations, do not even waste 96 seconds on this abject pile of incompetently mashed cheesy clichéd ploys to work overtime to make everyone look like a suspect. A decent cast was absolutely thrown into the toilet too. Don't throw away 96 minutes of your precious time. I hope calling the movie a septic waste moving train wreck gives an idea of the stinky sludge of a movie this was.

Yeah, I've hunted these "one filming location/only few actors" kind of movies lately and this ABSOLUTELY fits in nicely in this category.I actually doesn't care about plots in this kind of movies, but I must say that, there still COULD be something else in the movie. Maybe something more at the beginning and in the end. Little subplot would be nice. And to be honest, I don't like the idea of driver and his thoughts being unrevealed.I think those are the reason why this got 7/10 from me. The rest of the film was fantastic! The nice and calm atmosphere before the panic starts fade in and you really start to get thrilled. Even though this is quite "boring" movie. The atmosphere build up nicely and doesn't actually fall flat at any point, which is understandable of course.I liked it. No plots or anything behind this but still movie is nicely executed. I recommend if you're liking real thrillers (and solid plot is not relevant).
