Okay I got my ticket, bought my Maltesers, drink, and sat down in my small unconfutable seat. Thankfully the movie only went for a solid 86mins. The story to me could have opened up, and not just three sets. For a film that was trying to have a realistic feel with a sci-fi kinda feel to it, I felt the train design didn’t work. Unless they are actual trains in the U.S. While I will give the film credit in keeping you in the dark and as the character works out the situation you as an audience member are brought along as well. Watching the movie and looking back at it, I did find the directors approach interesting, when telling his story, as he places key parts of the story through out the film, giving away the ending, but with sutle hints, short clips and story break down. But I felt the pause in time at the end, didn’t ad much suspense on what was going to happen next. It wasn’t until the final scene with the text message that I felt the story kicked in, on what is going to happen next. The acting was fine, and it was entertaining, but I felt it should of opened up a lot more, instead of confined.
