Night Train Review
Critics are heavily criticizing the movie that results into a 3.2 IMDb rating. The reason behind such a low rating is because the movie lacks action that we all have been craving for but we don’t find anything bad at all.
It would be mean to expect the Fast and Furious quality in a tight budget film. There are so many bad reviews and that’s because people just care about the trashy, nonsense, scripted scenes that looks unnatural.
We must say, Night Train is a decent Indie film that definitely deserves a watch. You can make your judgement after watching the Night Train movie but as per our observation, the film has a basic story that is compelling enough, not that boring that people are saying.
