It is reputed to include drug traffickers. In the company of a fellow western couple, Carlos and Abby, everything goes well until the four decide to get off the train at one stop. They soon discover that Carlos is a drug dealer who was being pursued by corrupt police officers, and they are now after Jessie. Unwittingly, Roy and Jessie get caught up in the dark world of smuggling and betrayal. And they know that while the train is in motion, there is no means of escape.

Comment
Add a CommentInteresting movie, Woody Harrelson, the American husband is kind of flaky and irresponsible. He and his wife are travelling and meet up with another couple and all four of them share a small room on the train. Things go from bad to worse when Roy (Woody H.) misses the train and his wife and the other couple get off at a small town and wait for him to catch up with them. As the story unfolds drugs, drug dealers and murder are involved. Intriguing story, kept me interested.
Twisted and convoluted, yes, but it's hard to work up sympathy for such stupid characters.
Violent chick flick with mystery.
It was O.K for a home TV movie. I was entertained and interesting. But it was NOT worth the long library wait or the price to rent from a Red Box. "I fast forwarded a lot but not all the way.”
I liked it a lot, there were some suspenseful moments and the ending was OK also
Not bad at all. If you can get past the early part of the film where they are trying to develope the plot, the rest of it is actually interesting and pretty good. I like the setting, and i also like the fact that by the end of the movie you are starting to feel the characters more and want to know whats really happening and how it ends.
But, like the last comment sort of states, the first 30mins were kind of hard for me to enjoy as well, but it wasn't even dreadful.
BORING!! A half hour into it I'm hitting the fast forward button. A few minutes later I bailed out. I'd rather do the laundry. Didn't watch the whole thing so I can't rate it. Perhaps if I had stuck with it... but I hated the characters and did not care if their lives went horribly wrong.
