Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

ForVirg As others have noted, this is just a very poorly done sex-changed redo of Hitchcock's classic "Strangers On A Train." However, this remake is done without the finesse of Hitchcock's direction, great acting, and well-written screenplay of the original.Somehow the filmmakers and writers in this one managed to dumb down a brilliant premise and reduce interesting characters to predictable, one-dimensional caricatures. I cannot fathom why anyone involved would have wasted their time with this seriously bad film. I recommend viewers not toss their time into the waste basket with the them. Find anything else at all to watch.Better yet, go rent, stream, or find a TV showing of the masterful original. "Strangers On A Train" is never a waste of time.

edwagreen A film where the plot is extremely contrived. Anyone see some similarity to the 1950's Hitchcock thriller, "Strangers on A Train?" Obviously, it's not the same thing but the believed to be chance meeting of 2 strangers on a vehicle leading to plotting for murder can't be totally overlooked.In this case, the meeting takes place on the bus. Of course, it turns out that this was not as innocent as it first appears. When one of the people just casts the meeting off as being made up by some kind of nut job, things begin to happen as our second person is victimized and almost drawn into this plot by a really sick woman.

sol1218 ****SPOILERS**** Updated version of the 1951 Hitchcock classic "Strangers on a Train" where this time the story takes place on a bus with the manipulating and spoiled rotten Sophie Johanon, Allison Lang, trying to pull off a double murder. That by her getting paralegal Molly Beckhard, Brigid Brannagh, to knock off her strict but caring dad Judge Warren Johanson, Joe Regalbuto,in return for Sophie murdering Molly's husbands Jeff's, Brian Krause, ex Heather Plumb, Rosa Blasi. We've seen it dozens of times before, "Strangers on a Train" clones, but this time around it has a knock your socks off surprise ending that hits you well before the film is over which makes it more then worth watching.Sophie who was just released from the Rolling Hills Mental Institution has had it in for her father since she was a little girl in him keeping her on a short lease by grounding her in taking away the keys to her sports car. That's after she had a sting of preventable car accidents that resulted from her drinking. This forced Sophie take the local Gold Line Bus where she eventually met Molly commuting back and forth from law school.It's when Molly told her about the problems she's having with Heather in trying to get her, Heather's, daughter Gracie, Charlie Stewart, away from her that a light lit up in Sophie's head! Wanting to get her pop out of the way Sophie comes up with this plan in that she'll knock off the pesky Heather and in return Molly would finish off her annoying pop! Thinking this is some kind of a joke Molly soon realizes what a nut case Sophie really is in always getting in touch with her,on the Gold Line bus, and pressing the issue to the point that Molly tries to avoid her at all costs!***SPOILERS*** It when Sophies tarts to impersonate Heather, by covering her blond hair with a red wig, and almost sets the Beckhard home on fire that Molly goes to the police to have the what later turned to be innocent Heather arrested! Things soon turn deadly with Sophie murdering Heather in the local needle park where the drug addicted and alcoholic Heather hangs out that Molly becomes the #1 suspect in her murder! Knowing that she's been set up but not having the proof Molly reluctantly agrees to carry out Sophie's plan to ice her pop in order not to be implicated by fake evidence Sophie planted at Heather's murder scene!It's when your just about get up and turn the boring as dishwater movie off in feeling you've seen it all before your hit with a shock, obviously timed to perfection by the films director, that knocks you as well as almost everybody else in the cast flat on your back! As it turns out Molly finds out the truth about Sophie from her dad the Judge when she broke into his home to take him out, of his life not for dinner, that left her speechless! It' then that the film that was as predictable as the morning sunrise really started to get interesting!Great final sequence with Molly and Sophie together with the Judge and Jeff having it out on the Gold Line bus with the passengers and bus driver running for cover to prevent themselves from being, in this no holds bar cat fight, scratched to death! It was Sophie kidnapping Gracie, to make sure Molly would carry out her deranged plan, that really tipped the scales against her. Molly was willing to take all the abuse that Sophie could dish out on her, even a jail sentence from a crime that she didn't commit, but when she started messing with her daughter it turned out to be the last straw for her!

boblipton This Lifetime Movie Network movie is a blah sex-change variation of Alfred Hitchcock's classic STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, with psycho Allison Lange killing Brian Krause's psycho ex-wife to make things easier for his current wife, Brigid Brannagh -- the last an actress new to me, whom I like very much -- she could be a voice double for the late Suzanne Pleshette. The acting is decent, but by the time anything new showed up in the story, I had lost interest.There's little that's particularly wrong about this movie, but there is nothing in it that is actively engaging. Once you realize the model of the story, everything becomes very predictable except you wonder how they could have missed the things that made the original Hitchcock movie so good.The pacing is flat, the music is overwrought and the camera lighting is dark and broody, except for the scene where they are explaining to the little girl that mommy has been murdered: that shot is a very pretty one.In short, there is nothing in this sub-par time waster to attract anyone who has seen the Hitchcock original.
