Predrag This was a mystery of sorts, but more of a romance. The story-line was a little ponderous to start with and "Night Train's" plot is rather common: a man with a troubled past, just released from jail, attempts to hide from a former employer-crook from whom he stole money; he hides in a rooming house run by an elderly widow with an unhappy spinster daughter under her mother's domination; the boarder and daughter become friends; as the crooks close in on the boarder, he convinces the daughter to escape and start a new life, which she does; he then admits that he's on the run because of stolen money, which she demands he return or forget the relationship. Hurt and Blethin were both well cast as the leads and they really did make the whole film work as it picked up momentum. The scenes aboard the Orient Express in Europe were simply beautiful and breathtaking and it was a shame that there wasn't a scene or two on the British Pullman but with the initial story being set in Ireland I guess it made sense to go by boat to Europe and pick up the Orient Express there. Based on the cover photo I was expecting a fast paced thriller but this was just right. Quirky little movie, but worth the time.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

Franklie It's an intriguing story with intriguing characters and fabulous actors and we'd love to see it updated.We'd leave out the horridness of the torture and the slaughterhouse. All of the tension that those scenes invoke can be created in ways that don't leave most of us covering our eyes and thinking we'll never eat a burger again or see a screwdriver in quite the same way. And we'd leave out the gutter language. We miss the classier vocab that could be used instead and that we just don't hear anymore.The marketing for this show made it look like an adventure movie. It's not. It's a love story. We'd put more action in the remake without losing the drama of the relationships. And it would be beautiful to see the story with updated scenery.Basically, loved the story, didn't care for the way it was shown.

Renaldo Matlin Very low-key tale with a wonderful performance by John Hurt in particular. Also a movie worth watching for model train-buffs as Hurt's character has one of the most beautiful train sets ever seen on film!Shot on location in Leeds NIGHT TRAIN also confirmed something I've suspected for quite some time: all British cities really DO look the same!

ruthpointer This film should have had wider distribution - I was lucky enough to see it at a festival two years after it was made, and I'd never heard of it before.It's gentle, funny, tense - in fact there are some quite scary moments in it - well-acted, with shrewd observation of ordinary lives and relationships, and a believable plot.I can't think of anyone I wouldn't recommend this to.
