A small group of everyday passengers on a speeding London commuter train battle their warped driver who has a dark plan for everyone on-board. The widow Dr. Lewis Shaler and his son Max are traveling late night by train to London. Lewis will leave Max with his grandparents to attend victims of a great accident at the hospital where he works. When Max accidentally spills coffee on the coat of the promoter Sarah Barwell, Lewis is embarrassed and offers to pay for the cleaning of her coat. Soon they start a conversation and feel attracted for each other. When the train stops, Lewis sees a man on the track apparently fixing the brakes. When the trains moves, he sees another man crawling on the tracks. Lewis seeks out the train guard and finds that he is missing. Further, the train does not stop at the stations. He tries to contact the driver that asks how many passengers are still on board and nothing else. Lewis contacts the passengers Jan Klimowski, Peter Carmichael and Elaine Middleton and they team-up expecting to stop the train. Soon they conclude that the train has no brake and the driver is a suicidal. What will happen to them? This truly was such an absolute pile of sewage I'm doubly mad that NetFlix has gone to a stupid Thumbs Up/Down only rating system. If a negative rating were possible I would give it that there. I had to come here to IMDb to give it 1 star and save you from the misery I experienced watching this. If you're someone who expects even some basic intelligence and logic in movie plots, and situations, do not even waste 96 seconds on this abject pile of incompetently mashed cheesy clichéd ploys to work overtime to make everyone look like a suspect. A decent cast was absolutely thrown into the toilet too. Don't throw away 96 minutes of your precious time. I hope calling the movie a septic waste moving train wreck gives an idea of the stinky sludge of a movie this was. 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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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. First-time feature director Omid Nooshin makes the best of a minuscule budget, and his punchy script doesn’t brake for breath.
