Sexylocher Masterful Movie

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

sbcobba I got this movie out as a DVD recently, not knowing anything about it or the actors/director. My interest was due to the fact that it is set in Perth, where I'm from. It's a great small budget film in which all the action takes place on a train. The actors, especially the lead - the tall thug, are excellent and the script quite confronting, with snippets of humor throughout. The storyline is quite believable for anyone who's been even briefly annoyed with idiots/anti-social members of society acting-up on trains. My wife and I sat transfixed for the entire movie, which is pretty unusual. I certainly recommend this movie, although not if in the mood for a light, fluffy feel-good experience!

Kim Johnsson Five people on a train for an hour and a half, how good can it be? Well, considering my rating, I'd say pretty good. To tell you the truth, I just watched this because Gigi Edgley was in it (I love her), and my expectations weren't really that high. Just a few minutes in I was pretty sure I had nothing to worry about. With most movies nowadays (at least the ones that reach me) focusing on action and hi-tech stuff, this movie felt really refreshing. Even though it begins pretty light, with two guys just having fun (well, at least one of them) on the train, it gets increasingly darker and more complex with every minute. No one is really what they seem to be, and several plot twists were truly unexpected. As was the ending. Speaking of which, by the time you get there you'll have no idea what will happen. That's a feeling lacking in most contemporary movies. I mean, the good guys always win, right? But what if there is no good guy? No bad guy? Just people. Real people.And if you're too lazy to read all that, then at least read this: Watch this movie. You'll be positively surprised. If not, send me an e-mail and I'll buy you a beer. Or something.

kepswa Last Train to Freo is a film worth seeing. It is a good, well acted, simple idea movie which really focuses strongly on the characters involved and you will stay in suspense as their stories continue to unfold.It will particularly appeal to the people of Western Australia as it was not only set there, it was filmed there (shock horror). This is a welcome change as the state has seen so many great films set in WA but filmed elsewhere through the likes of Gallipoli, Shine, Rabbit-Proof Fence, Wolf Creek to name a few. This is largely due to the WA government's continued stubbornness when it comes to funding films and any other area of arts for that matter. A real shame when the state continues to be a gold mine for talent. It's really no wonder then that anyone successful from Perth in film or music never really comes back. What may come as a surprise to some, is that most of the film was not filmed on an actual Transperth train, but a purpose made set which could have fooled any regular Transperth rail commuter, a real credit to the set production.It is a film where you as the viewer can really feel yourself being involved in and where you will possibly be asking yourself what you would do if you were put in such a situation. The characters all take turns in controlling the scene and they are also all put into a state of vulnerability. The film also touches on Perth's identity, as it has been burdened with the "Dullsville" tagline for quite a while. The most isolated city in the world has an identity crisis, with many in denial of such a claim. Trev's character seems hold some of the past of the State in his appearance: A Perth Football Club beanie from an era when WAFL was king, and a shirt from WA's 150th anniversary circa 1979. The film is set on a train which travels from Midland, through Perth, and onto Fremantle which is where the bulk of Perth's historical significance can be found. I hope this film is a real starting point for a new culture in Western Australia. Worth seeing.

Samualt I wasn't sure what to expect and originally watched this movie because I like just about anything with Gigi Edgley in it. I wasn't disappointed at all. This movie starts out in what seems a slow and sluggish way but the eventual twists and turns make it all worthwhile. It was an excellent character study piece. It really isn't a movie for the younger crowd because of the adult situations. But then, I guess compared to HollyWould movies this is rather tame. It is just that the acting and situations build to a crescendo towards the end and present the subject matter in a very visceral way. It will have you on the edge of your seat towards the end. The casting couldn't have been better, the acting was great, and the direction was excellent. It is a drama/thriller extraordinaire.
