Last Passenger - 2013 ***

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.

Source Code - 2011 ****

Now I have to say that I was extremely surprised by this film and really enjoyed it. Gyllenhaal was actually pretty convincing and the storyline in my opinion was original and crisp.
After waking up in another man's body, Gyllenhaal is told that he is part of a mission to find the bomber of a train in Chicago. He has nothing to go on except that he returns each time to the same time and scene 8 minutes before the train explodes. It is up to him to find the bomber and save the people on there without having any idea what the person might look like or what their motives are.
Taut, tense and thrilling, this is worth watching, and yes, while the ending is a bit bizarre, the rest of this tightly knitted film is worth it.

(HORROR) ATM - 2011 ***

I was actually very impressed by this movie. And the only thing which really spoilt it for me was the ending. I am trying to hard when I watch horror films to suspend my disbelief because otherwise I would be slagging off practically every one that I watch. So I was happily suspending my disbelief with this one and generally having a good time being scared out my wits. And then the ending came about and I was left.. well.. pretty disappointed. When I read the synopsis for the film I thought, 'how on earth will this work? Surely they can't have a whole film based around an ATM machine??' But they can! And it was gripping, taut and downright freaky.
The ending ruined it, and it doesn't make any sense.

(NOIR) Night Editor - 1946 ****

I actually enjoyed this noir, despite the fact it was a 'B' movie (going to show yet again that not all 'A' movies are the best.

The movie tells of a police lieutenant named Tony who starts an affair with a beautiful socialite (Janis Carter) behind his wife's back (ironically she is also cheating on her husband). One night they go for a drive to 'lovers lane' to be alone and are startled to see a a man bludgeoning his girlfriend to death. Because of their current situation they cannot report the crime without revealing their affair, and so begins a nerve-wracking journey where the main witness to the crime cannot help solve it without giving himself away.

A very interesting story and very taut and gripping. I liked.
