Night Train

Danny Glover, Steve Zahn, and Lelee Sobieski star in a murder mystery thriller about 3 train passengers and their quest for greed. After a last second passenger is found dead on the train with a box of diamonds.... the adventure begins as they scheme, and hide, and plot their way through the police, passengers, and finally eachother to become rich. Lots of twists and turns lead to a climactic end in which you may never see coming.
I actually was anxious watching this movie. The mistakes they made and the decisions that were agreed upon were usually the types of decisions that would only be made in a movie and not in real life. Furthermore, do people actually travel on trains anymore? I honestly couldnt tell if this was a movie set in the 1800's or today until Danny Glover pulled out his celly. The actors are good but it doesnt help if they dont have a great story to act on. Definitely worth renting but fortunately you didnt have to waste your time going to the movies to see it. Lots of CGI train shots which I figured because I doubt any actor would really want to spend all that time on an actual train.

my elementary grading scale: Progressing Satisfactorily
1-10: 6/6.5
