Two Passengers and the conductor discover that a person has passed away on their Night Train cabin. They come across valuable diamonds on his person, that they wish to keep for themselves. So, to make it look like the man never boarded the train, they conspire to dump his body in a river that the train passes. Their scheme to get rid of the corpse escalates to the point where they have to chop up his body just to fit him into a small trunk. They then become paranoid, as they might turn on each other.

  • User's comment:Loco Motives by movieman_kev

    After a mysterious stranger holding onto a much more mysterious dies in the cabin of a train, the only two other people in said cabin Chloe and Peter (Leelee Sobieski and Steven Zahn, respectively) quickly hatch a plan, along with Miles (Danny Glover), the conductor of the train who happens upon the whole scenario when trying to get the train fare, to keep the box and more importantly the valuable treasure that lies inside of it for themselves. What follow is what can be best deemed as a comedy of errs as they find themselves getting deeper and deeper into the clutches of pure unbridled greed.

    This film started off well enough and the three accomplished main actors give adequate performances (even if Leelee is a bit over-the-top). The train setting offered a nice claustrophobic air of tension and Richard O'Brian gave a fun performance. However as the film went on, it somewhere went off the rails and chugged on to an unconvincing second half. Sad too as the film seemed to be on the right track for a little while.

    My Grade: C-

    DVD Extras: A 23 minute Making-of featurette; Interview sound bytes with various cast & crew; photo gallery; and a trailer for this movie
