Michael MacCauley, former cop turned insurance worker, gets fired from insurance right before getting his tenure. His daily routine is thrown out of the window as he had daily (for years) gotten a ride to the train station from his loving wife, so to save on gas going to work so his kid can eventually go to college. So, after a good drink at the pub with an old cop buddy that is still on the force, he goes to catch his normal train home but this time things are slightly different. A lady that claims to merely trying to see "to what lengths will you go" starts a series of actions which puts Michael MacCauley into detective mode. Can he figure out the puzzle? Can he save everyone on the train?

Rating Criteria
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute
waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of
something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but
could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly
amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all
around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.
2.5/5 - I originally rated this 3/5 when I watched it but since it has been nine months since I watched it, I had to freshen up on the movie. I did so by watching Let Me Explain's video on this movie. Thinking back on it now, there were some things that made no sense with the plot line. Yes, it did keep my attention but how are there so many people "overseeing" what is happening and able to kill off so many other people on the train (or just off of the train) but they can't kill the witness to a murder that happened earlier? Oh, because we don't know exactly who that is but we can still randomly kill those on the train and make it look like Michael is going crazy, taking the train hostage. That bothers me - he is supposed to be helping you but you're making him look like the bad guy?
The twist at the end was kinda to be expected, especially since we managed to derail a train car and all managed to not get hurt, nor did the windows get smashed out... And so, "you had a heck of a time dealing with this situation. Since you don't have a job anymore, why not join the police again?". Honestly, after all of that, I would have been like "eff this, I'm going home and rethinking my life, thank you very much. Oh em gee... I almost died and he asked me to get back into police work. What the heck is he thinking?".
It is a good action flick but not necessarily one to waste time/money on, especially when you see how bad they messed up the plot line with omniscient people and huge coincidences that are supposed to be planned.
That's my movie review! Thanks for reading. More reviews to come eventually.
