One of my pet peeves with films is having a good storyline that comes to the end with no resolution whatsoever. This is sort of what happened here. I'm not sure if the film was loosely based upon the awful accident at Moorgate Tube Station over 30 years ago but it certainly leans in that direction. Dougray Scott and his young son board the train for home late at night and are joined by various other 'normal' characters. Kara Tointon in particular appears and begins flirting with him in rather a desperate manner but that just seems to be her personality. She also takes a shine to his son.
They fall asleep and when they next wake, they find that there are only a small handful of people left on the train. After unsuccessfully trying to speak to the driver Scott realises something is very wrong when the train speeds by each of their stations without stopping and appears to be picking up speed.
It's a taut movie, and does have plenty of jumps and thrills, but I was SO disappointed by the ending that it's brought my rating right down.
