Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

GL84 Missing a train to their meet, a team of wrestlers from the US in Russia boards another train to get there only to wind up in the middle of a ring of organ traffickers using the train as a cover for their crimes and must find a way to get out alive.Surprisingly, this turned out to be quite an entertaining and enjoyable slasher effort. One of the best elements at work here is the extreme, bountiful gore on display which is quite a bit of fun as the blood flows through this quite easily. The nature of them being organ thieves makes for a great twist here with the body needing to be dismembered and sliced into in order to get at the special goods they require, and when the least painful method found in here is to take a bone-saw and slice through a chest cavity, there's a lot of really fun bloodletting on display which also helps out in other areas. The fact that the bloodletting requires plenty of stalking in order to capture the group makes for quite some fun times with the accidental discovery aboard the locked car, the search through the crowded cars and the abduction of each team member makes for some rather impressive moments here with this one taking on a lot of rather creepy scenes that aide along the bloodletting or in some cases actually getting it started. As well, the final half where they take the fight back to them and actually begin to score some success over the group is all sorts of action-packed fun and quite readily provides this with some exciting moments to really help this one quite well. There is some problems here, with the biggest being the complete and utter incredulity of the business they operate being this incognito for as long as it's rumored to be as it appears at numerous intervals to be a regular train service that they operate out of several cars along the way, and that tends to make for a very public sort of business that never really seems all that likely to be kept in the dark. Likewise, the fact that there's just no way to really find any kind of sympathy with them due to what they do to others makes the plea at the end where they reveal their true intentions all along quite awkward and lame, especially since there's little about what they're doing that is noble. As well, the fact that a group of collegiate-trained wrestlers would put up so little fight against the group makes for quite a rather far-fetched series of events due to the easy nature they're overpowered and rendered helpless, the exact opposite of what would supposed to happen to those kinds of people. Otherwise, this one is quite fun.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity, drug use and a brief rape scene.

Neil Welch A group of Americans students are guided onto a train which turns out to be for the purpose of harvesting their organs.If one puts to one side the host of criticisms which can be levelled at the practicalities of the story on screen (lack of medical hygiene, cliché behaviour etc. etc. and unending etc.), there remains one overriding criticism.I have no problem with violence and gore in films - Eden Lake, for instance, featured some savage violence and was an excellent film. The thing which concerns me is when a film takes the glee which this one does in parading, for its audience's delectation, gratuitous sadism just for the sake of it. The deeply unpleasant and graphically sadistic violence shown here has little justification in narrative terms, it is there solely to appeal to the gorehounds.Deplorable.

MisterWhiplash I probably should have known this was going to be, or at least akin to being, "torture porn", or the gratuitous slicing and dicing of people without any of the suspense, but I didn't expect this low-rent movie starring Thora Birch to be just so unpleasant, in its style and mood and its delivery. It doesn't help that the cast mostly looks like the understudies of other actors (that one guy is a dead ringer for Denis Leary, another one for European Cameron Diaz) and none of them can act very well (Birch, of course, being a master thespian of under-acting if that's possible). But any moment that a suspenseful walking/creeping around should work it doesn't, and any moment that we're supposed to be icked or frightened by the next gashing-out of blood is just stupid in its excessiveness. It also doesn't help at all that the logic is twisted; there's a train that kidnaps unwitting people into using their bodies on the black market, okay, I'll bite, maybe it's like Taken on a Train (ho-ho). Even then there's little thought put into it; they're organ-removers basically- a little like the people in Hostel only providing a "service" albeit extremely criminal and psychopathic and with some of the usual big galuts in tandem. But what about what's usually done with organ removing and transplanting like, I don't know, a CLEAN ROOM! It's one thing to be evil East-Euro organ removers, it's another thing to be incompetent while doing it. Also, the ending is one of the lamest in modern cinematic memory, even if it's straight-to-video. There's little to recommend about it except for a few (unintentional) laughs early on before the Olympic team gets on the train and parties down at an overly-red-lit nightclub.

trashgang The mystery about this flick is so weird. It is stated as extremely gory and it clocks in at 91 or 94 minutes, but rumours were out that there was a version out clocking in over 100 minutes but so far it never pops up, even not on the net. If it is through, only the director can tell. But we are left with the shorter version. Was it good, I just don't know. It has what geeks wanted but you must admit that it was filed under the 'torture porn' genre. I had problems with a few things. First of all, it was the intention to be a remake of 'Horror Train' but somehow they changed the plot in what we have on DVD or Blu Ray. And there things go wrong for me. How cheap is it see that the Americans are the good ones and the Russians are the bad guys. that's so seventies and eighties or better, that was what we saw in the Reagan era. Secondly, being 'torture porn' and taking place in Russia it reminded me immediately of Hostel. It delivers gore but I was never frightened or shocked of what I just watched. And for the perverted, yes, it has titty time. Thora Birch being a hero, it just don't work. Not that she's not good at all, but it's all going to easy. And at the end the one pushing a wagon, come on, is he the hulk or what? I remember a time when the slashers were over that they tried to overrated the horrors coming out but it didn't worked that way. 2008 was also a bit the end of 'torture porn' and it really shows why. Just look at the Saw franchise. Not that many were looking out for a new part, bye bye torture porn, take the 'train' to nowhere station...
