Last Passenger (2013)

disgusting, overrated, pointless

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Absolutely astonishing. There is craft and there is thought behind this movie. Trouble is action viewers will not find it good enough. It is slow and reading other reviews, I get their frustrations about silly inconsistencies that only matter in action films.There's the rub, it's not an action pic. It is a contemplation on mortality. Serious viewers will pass it over as silly, but any time the critics like an action picture so much more than the ordinary reviewers, you should know to whom it will appeal.Please see this film if you like to consider weighty subjects like death and the meaning of life after someone you love dies. See it if you have ever felt like your life is metaphorically a speeding train sabotaged by a suicidal driver careening to an immortality of tabloid fame. Hell just see it if you don't mind the silly action bits, explosions and a handful of dead people. And just remember they would have all died anyway and there are no refunds.

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).

I am an American in the Philippines and this movie was being shown on one of their channels. I had never heard of it, so I gave it a chance. After watching a few minutes, I felt sorry for the people in America that wasted about $9,300 on this piece of garbage. I am literally shocked that something like this would be released in the year 2013. It was extremely obvious why ticket sales in the US were less than $10,000.High School kids could produce a better quality film. The characters are 5 minutes from possibly dying and they sit around and have a beer and tell stories on a train that is speeding at 100 mph???? Are you kidding me?Cliché after Cliché after Cliché ! The beautiful girl. The widowed doctor. The young child that is trying to replace his dead mother. Come On !This movie was HORRIBLE.Then, they had to throw in the Engineer really wanted to be a Magician but he couldn't tell his father. Clichés were embedded in Clichés.This movie sucked so bad, I started laughing at the end. I laughed so hard, that I had to come here and write this review... That way, I could Laugh some more. Ha. Ha. Ha.

Thought it would be more action packed based on the poster, But it was mores suspenseful like Duel on a train or the Hitcher on a train.A weird story about an unknown villain who hijacks a train that still has 6 passengers on it as the train speeds its way to the last stop. These passengers have to figure out what's going on so they can get off.It's all about the tension of this moment. It unites them from strangers to allies it brings out their dark sides and shows what their made of.Very different from what was expected but very good. Hitchcock good.
