Lewis Shaler (Dougray Scott) is an overworked doctor and devoted single dad heading home with his young son Max on the last train from London. When he strikes up a conversation with a beautiful and flirtatious stranger (Kara Tointon), Lewis believes life is finally looking up. But events then take a dark turn when Lewis discovers the guard has mysteriously vanished and the brakes have been sabotaged. Unknown to the handful of remaining passengers, a vengeful sociopath has taken control of the train and is hell-bent on crashing it, taking his passengers with him to the grave.
As the speeding locomotive ploughs through stations and level crossings, the body count rises and panic turns to terror. Lewis realizes that the police are powerless to stop the diesel-powered ‘slammer’ train, and the desperate passengers must find their own way out of this nightmare. Lewis takes the lead in a series of increasingly perilous missions to stop the train before the driver can realize his dark plan.
Last Passenger is a kinetic thriller with melding suspense, action with great performances with great credibility of the situation. It has a well structured dialogues and a well-worn plot with some scenes full of tense and explosive action. Besides in one hour, 36 minutes your predictions will fail when Scott and Tointon make for a decent lead couple, and the film does eventually give some depth to Goldberg’s Jan and David Schofield’s Peter, although for the bulk of the running time they are relegated to annoying cardboard cutouts. Definitely this film is more focus on survival, not the mechanics of villainy but makes it an exciting thriller anyways.

The innocence contrast with the racism and homophobia in “Pelo Malo”

From the Director, screenwriter, visual artist Mariana Rondón was born in Barquisimeto, Venezuela “Pelo Malo” is one of her master piece that comes with Junior who is a nine-year-old boy who has stubbornly curly hair, or “bad hair.” He wants to have it straightened for his yearbook picture, like a fashionable pop singer with long, ironed hair. This puts him at odds with his mother Marta, a young, unemployed widow.
Junior, Marta, and his baby brother live in a large multi-family building. Overwhelmed by what it takes to survive in the chaotic city of Caracas, Marta finds it increasingly difficult to tolerate Junior’s fixation with his looks. The more Junior tries to look sharp and make his mother love him, the more she rejects him. His paternal grandmother, a witness to this rejection, asks Marta to give her the boy so that he can look after her. Marta refuses and tries to correct her son’s obsession by “setting an example,” a cruel moment which was meant to be a lesson. Junior finds himself as imaginative and resilient mind-boy and his drama is really realistic with children like him. The relationships among adults are the toughest, but is more tense and bitter movements with his mother, in part of his grandmother to the self-discovery of dancing alone – to watching him mess with his hair we see a child try to live while his mother only survives. Is something that contrast with the formidable world they are planted in. Especially when Junior sings to with his grandma a late-’60s Venezuelan rock ‘n’ roll song and as a specter you can see the real social drama that lives this boy for the complex and confusing feelings against the raw background of Venezuela.
